Abstract
Disclosed is a power supply apparatus for supplying at least one device spaced apart from the power supply with electrical power, the power supply apparatus being connectable to a power grid, the power supply apparatus including at least one position-sensing apparatus for sensing a geometric position of the at least one device. The power supply apparatus can be directed at the at least one device in such a way that power can be wirelessly transmitted by the power supply apparatus to the device and/or the device can be supplied with electrical power by the power supply device.

Energy supply apparatus (2) for supplying electrical energy to at least one device (3) spaced apart from this energy supply (2), wherein the energy supply apparatus (2) can be connected to an energy network and/or is supplied wirelessly with energy by another energy supply apparatus, comprising at least one position detector unit (24) for detecting a geometric or spatial position of the at least one device (3) and an orienting device for orientation of an energy beam of the energy supply apparatus (2), characterised in that the energy supply apparatus (2) and/or the energy radiation (6) can be oriented with respect to the at least one device (3) in such a way that energy can be transmitted by the energy supply apparatus (2) wirelessly to the device and/or the device can be supplied with electrical energy by means of the energy supply apparatus (2).
Circuit arrangement for the formation of an energy network with wireless energy transmission, consisting of several energy supply units and several devices to be supplied, characterised in that
- an energy network subscriber is capable of transmitting energy wirelessly to at least one other energy network subscriber and/or an energy network subscriber can be supplied with energy wirelessly by at least one energy network subscriber and/or the location of one or more energy network subscriber takes place autonomously and/or the control and regulation of the wireless energy transmission between the network subscribers takes place autonomously in local and/or decentralised and/or central and/or internet-based or cloud-based data units and/or computer units on the basis of master data and/or the operation data and/or on the basis of the data analysis and/or one the basis of fixed and/or dynamic algorithms and/or other fixed and/or dynamic technical and/or economic parameters, wherein the network also includes energy network subscribers with specific energy transmission function, such as active or passive unidirectional or bidirectional wireless energy repeaters for relaying energy to another energy network subscriber, active or passive unidirectional or bidirectional wireless energy gateway for integration of devices and/or energy networks with another type of wireless energy transmission and/or for integration of devices and/or energy networks with wired energy transmission.
Circuit arrangement for wireless transmission of energy, characterised in that
- an energy transmission apparatus and/or a device to be supplied wirelessly includes an energy-measuring system suitable for billing purposes for measuring the energy used and/or transmitted in the energy transmission unit or the energy received by the device to be supplied and/or energy actually made available and the amounts of energy measured by means of measurement techniques can be uniquely assigned to the respective energy transmission apparatus and/or the respective device to be supplied or
- the amount of energy used and/or transmitted and/or received and/or made available can be transmitted to a higher-level system for data acquisition and/or data analysis by means of data communication which can be personalised by means of the owner or user or economic beneficiary of the energy supply unit and/or of the device to be supplied which are stored in the master data and the data are made available for billing purposes.
Method for wireless supply of at least one device (3) by means of an energy supply apparatus (2), comprising the following steps:
- connecting the energy supply apparatus (2) to a higher-level energy network or a higher-level energy supply apparatus;
- detecting the device (3) to be supplied by the energy supply apparatus (2) by means of at least one position detector unit (24, 31);
- identifying the device (3) to be supplied;
- orienting the energy supply apparatus (2) or the energy beam relative to the device (3) to be supplied;
- wireless transmission of energy to the device (3) to be supplied.
