When I run it on my system, nothing returns, so I have a wide open slate. I can use the Get-VMSwitch cmdlet to check what virtual switches may already exist. So, now I know what network adapters I have and their associated names. ![]() This is so much better than the previous “Local Area Connection” pattern we used to encounter. Luckily, Windows 8 names the adapters with realistic, descriptive names: Ethernet and Wi-Fi. The other two, I consider to be my main adapters.

This is because I want at least some of my virtual machines to be able to talk to the real world. I am talking real, live, physical network adapters, not the virtual stuff. WooHoo! Find existing network adaptersįirst I need to identify what network adapters I have on my laptop. Luckily, I can use Windows PowerShell to solve my dilemma. So, that means encountering a veritable click-fest of mousing around-and that is something that a Scripting Guy just cannot abide. But on my laptop, I generally create at least the following four virtual switches: This is not too bad if all I need to do is to create a single virtual switch on a single computer (such as my laptop). The Virtual Switch Manager Wizard is shown here: All that the task requires is to open Hyper-V Manager, click Virtual Switch Manager, follow a couple of wizard screens, and choose from two dozen options. It is easy to create a virtual switch in Hyper-V Manager. (All of the other Windows PowerShell Saturday events have sold out.) You should register before the event sells out. Yes, it will be a great way to spend a lazy fall Saturday. The Scripting Wife will be there helping out with registration and other behind-the-scenes activities. I am doing two presentations, and there is a stellar collection of other speakers. There are still some tickets available for this event, and it will absolutely rock. It will be held at the Microsoft Office in Alpharetta, Georgia on October 26, 2013. The Scripting Wife and I are really looking forward to going to Atlanta to Windows PowerShell Saturday 005. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. ![]() ![]() By aggregating the power of several units, a VPP can deliver the same service and redundancy and subsequently trade on the same markets as large central power plants or industrial consumers.Summary: Learn how to use Windows PowerShell to easily create virtual switches in Hyper-V. This is because their generation profile varies too strongly or they simply do not meet the minimum bid size of the markets. Individual small plants can in general not provide balancing services or offer their flexibility on the power exchanges. It also creates the preconditions for integrating renewable energies into the markets. But the VPP not only helps stabilizing the power grids. This way, fluctuations in the generation of renewables can be balanced by ramping up and down power generation and power consumption of controllable units. In general, the objective is to network distributed energy resources such as wind farms, solar parks, and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units, in order to monitor, forecast, optimize and trade their power. What is the Objective of a Virtual Power Plant?ĭepending on the particular market environment, VPPs can accomplish a whole range of tasks. ![]()
