Battery Backup

I have solar panels and a Tesla battery and belong to a VPP (Virtual Power Plant). Now that the feed-in tariffs have dropped so low, is it quite feasible to add a second battery in order to reduce the need to send power to the grid? Is it possible that a second battery can be that inside an electric car where there is bi-directional current flow - so that your house can be powered by the car battery in times of need, all in conjunction with the VPP?

VPP Mechanics

I’m approaching my first year with AGL’s VPP plan and have been watching it at work as activity has gradually increased and the reasons why and when it activated become clearer in terms of weather etc. So far as it’s possible for me to see there have been only grid to battery direct interventions, no battery direct to grid. I’ve read the VPP contract and don’t have any fears about it. It’s easy to buy out if the situation ever arises and the limits on what AGL can do are clearly set out. It’s not compulsory, locked in or whatever, and better than that it’s possible to see how it can work to the mutual benefit of the parties. Now I’m seeking to confirm some more details of the game, things that I’ve assumed so far are the way they are in the contract on the basis of fairness, and my own cross check calculations using daily results recorded from AGL Accounts, and monitoring data via the Tesla App and the website provided by the supplier of panels and inverter. I’ve got a time of day rate contract for energy supplied, - peak, shoulder and off peak, plus a feed in rate below the off peak supply rate. Once again, as far as it’s possible for me to be sure, significant direct grid to battery events have always happened during night time off peak and cross checking from a couple of directions suggests the supply into the battery is provided at the off peak supply rate. The strategy seems clearly one of making sure that on days of low panel energy generation the battery will be close, or at least much closer than it might otherwise have been to full when the morning shoulder supply rate begins, also with a good chance of getting through to the evening off peak begins when another battery VPP top up commences. I’m pleased to report that the strategy seems to work. In mutual benefit context the negative to me of getting power during off peak VPP events that can and does occasionally mean a burst of sun during the ensuing day can see me selling one or two kWh back to the grid at about a third less than I paid. The positive for me is that I am almost never in a situation of having to significantly access daytime peak supply rates and not very often called on to use shoulder rate supply either. Until I get some good information from AGL on how much the VPP trial is costing and benefitting me in reasonably quantified terms I’m not ready to declare trial over and count me in, so I’d like to hear from you AGL about the validity of my assumptions and how realistic my impressions of experience are of VPP operation with what you see of my account from your side. Whether or not AGL respond and how generous they are with information I’d very much like to hear from any other member of this VPP Community. I am already encouraged by some of the contributions but understand the more cautious approaches others have. Thank you in anticipation.

Force battery to send power to grid

I have a Tesla Powerwall 2 and am I have joined VPP with AGL and my account is Electric Vehicle Plan. My question is according to my bill the last time AGL VPP has drawn down from my battery was in July 22 and seeing that I still am receiving texts to reduce my usage to receive a credit, is there a way that I can force my battery to send power to the grid when I have excess storage and little usage?? Many thanks for any Info. PS the reason I am asking is that we received a text a text on the 22 DEC 2022 asking to reduce usage and try exporting .38kWh or more to the grid, it was overcast during that hour and our battery was full and the house used up the rest so virtually nothing went to the grid. So is there a way I can force my battery to send to the grid?
