Abstract

Embodiments of a method of operating an electrical grid having at least one electrical consumer and a plurality of electrical producers are disclosed. In the method, a consumption prediction for the electrical consumer is provided, and production predictions for each electrical producer of a plurality of electrical producers are provided. The respective distances between the electrical consumer and each electrical producer of the plurality of electrical producers are determined. An electrical producer of the electrical producers is allocated to the electrical consumer in a first allocating step such that the provided consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the provided production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit.

Dependent claims

A method of operating an electrical grid having at least one electrical consumer and a plurality of electrical producers, the method comprising:

providing at least one consumption prediction for the electrical consumer,
providing respective production predictions for each electrical producer of at least a part of the plurality of electrical producers,
determining the respective distances between the electrical consumer and each electrical producer of the part of the plurality of electrical producers,
allocating at least one electrical producer of the part of the electrical producers to the electrical consumer in a first allocating step such that the provided consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the provided production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit,
conducting at least one further allocating step if, in the first allocating step, at least the electrical producers cannot be allocated to the electrical consumer such that the determined consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the determined production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and/or such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit,
wherein the second allocating step comprises allocating at least one of the part of the electrical producers to the electrical consumer such that the determined consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the determined production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one further distance limit which is at least larger than the first distance limit.

3 more elements

A peer-to-peer application for a peer-to-peer network, comprising:

at least one allocating means configured to allocate at least one electrical producer of a part of the electrical producers connectable to an electrical grid to at least one electrical consumer connectable to the electrical grid in a first allocating step such that a consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that a distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit, and
wherein the allocating means is configured to conduct at least one further allocating step if, in the first allocating step, at least the electrical producers cannot be allocated to the electrical consumer such that the determined consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the determined production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and/or such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one first distance limit,
wherein the second allocating step comprises allocating at least one of the part of the electrical producers to the electrical consumer such that the determined consumption prediction of the electrical consumer matches to the determined production prediction of the at least one electrical producer and such that the determined distance between the electrical consumer and the at least one electrical producer is at least smaller than at least one further distance limit which is at least larger than the first distance limit.
