Abstract
A building having a network of energy storage and energy consuming assets, which is connected to an alternating current electric supply grid having a normal frequency through an energy management system linked to a server. The energy management system measures over a period of time the energy consumption against time of the energy consuming assets and stores the measurements taken, measures over a period of time the energy stored against time in the energy storing assets and stores the measurements taken. The measurements of energy consumption and energy stored are used to derive the base net energy need in particular time periods. The net energy need in individual time periods is exported to one or more third parties.
Claims20
A building having a network of energy storage and energy consuming assets, said network being connected to an alternating current electric supply grid having a normal frequency through an energy management system linked to a server:
- in which the energy management system measures over a period of time the energy consumption against time of the energy consuming assets and stores the measurements taken, measures over a period of time the energy stored against time in the energy storing assets and stores the measurements taken, and uses the measurements of energy consumption and energy stored to derive the base net energy need in particular time periods, and exports the net energy need in individual time periods to one or more third parties.
A building having a network of energy storage and energy consuming assets, said network being connected to an alternating current electric supply grid having a normal frequency through an energy management system linked to a server:
- in which:
- a. the energy management system measures over a period of time the energy consumption against time of the energy consuming assets and stores the measurements taken, measures over a period of time the energy stored against time in the energy storing assets and stores the measurements taken, and uses the measurements of energy consumption and energy stored to derive the base net energy need in particular time periods, and exports the net energy need in individual time periods to one or more third parties;
- b. the energy consumed or stored in the network varies according to requests made by one or more third parties and in which the impact of varying the energy demands upon the building is evaluated and such evaluation is used to accept or reject such a request by a third party.
