Abstract
A distributed energy conversion system is described. The illustrative distributed energy conversion system is described to include a first energy conversion entity and a second energy conversion entity being interconnected via an energy exchange network. The system is further disclosed to include an evaluation entity that is able to communicate with the energy conversion entities and create a roadmap for the consumption of energy by the first energy conversion entity and the second energy conversion entity.
Claims11
A distributed energy conversion system, comprising:
- at least a first energy conversion entity, a second energy conversion entity, and a third energy conversion entity,
- with the first to third energy conversion entities being interconnected via an energy exchange network,
- an evaluation entity that is able to communicate with the first to third energy conversion entities,
- wherein the first energy conversion entity is acting as an energy supply element at an initial point in time and the second energy conversion entity is acting as an energy consumption element,
- wherein the first energy conversion entity makes first data concerning the provision of energy available to the evaluation entity, and wherein the first data includes one or more of the following:
- availability period, available quantity, cost/unit of energy, amount of pollutant/unit of energy, and storage state for one or more future time periods,
- wherein the second energy conversion entity makes second data concerning the consumption and/or use and/or storage of energy available to the evaluation entity, and wherein the second data includes one or more of the following:
- consumption period, consumed quantity, and stored quantity for two or more future time periods,
- with an evaluation being subsequently performed by the evaluation entity of the first and second data that are made available in order to create a roadmap for the consumption of energy, and with the evaluation entity being a component of the first energy conversion entity and/or a component of the second energy conversion entity,
- wherein at least one of the first to third energy conversion entities is insertable and removable from the distributed energy conversion system.
