Method and system for using renewable energy sources

A method for using renewable energy sources, the method comprising the following steps:

• a) Producing a proposed schedule (20), in which for a future time period subdivided into shorter time intervals, presettings for an operation of at least one remote energy generation plant (10) in each of the shorter time intervals are established, and transmitting the proposed schedule (20) to a central control unit (24) via a computer network (22),
• b) Producing a schedule (32) based on the proposed schedule (20), wherein the schedule (32) includes presettings for the operation of the at least one remote energy generation plant (10) which is operated by a renewable energy source, in each of the shorter time intervals of the future time period,
• c) Transmitting the schedule (32) from the central control unit (24) to a remote control unit (36) at the location of the at least one remote energy generation plant (10), which controls the operation thereof, via a computer network (34),
• d) Automatic control of the at least one remote energy generation plant (10) by the remote control unit (36) according to the schedule (32);
• wherein when producing the schedule (32) in the central control unit, a comparison of the proposed schedule (20) takes place with a forecast demand and the schedule (32) is produced, adapted to the demand, and optionally deviates from the proposed schedule (20).
