METHOD AND SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR THE DECENTRALIZED PROVISION OF ENERGY

Abstract

Disclsoed is a method for the decentralized provision of energy, preferably electricity or heat. In the method, a plurality of decentralized energy producers (1) and/or energy suppliers is located in a definable geographic region, and the energy is transported between the energy producers (1), energy suppliers, energy buyers and/or energy consumers (2) according to the offer and/or demand by mobile storage units (3), without using any cable system. A corresponding supply system for the decentralized provision of energy is also disclosed.

Claims

2. Method according to claim 1, wherein a movable storage unit (3) is assigned to a motor vehicle.

3. Method according to claim 2, wherein the motor vehicle is a passenger car, a truck, a bus, a motorcycle, a train car, or a trailer.

4. Method according to claim 2, wherein the motor vehicle is driven electrically.

5. Method according to claim 1, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

6. Method according to claim 1, wherein the producers (1) and/or suppliers form a decentralized supply system.

7. Method according to claim 1, wherein the energy is renewable.

8. Method according to claim 1, wherein a monitoring of the supply and/or demand relative to energy by users is made possible via the Internet.

9. Method according to claim 1, wherein a reserving of, ordering of, and/or paying for energy is carried out via an application software, an app.

10. Supply system for decentralized provision of energy for implementing the method according to claim 1, whereby multiple decentralized energy producers (1) and/or energy suppliers are arranged in a definable geographic area and whereby energy can be transported between energy producers (1), energy suppliers, energy buyers, and/or energy consumers (2) according to the supply and/or demand by means of movable storage units (3)—without using any power line system, the supply system comprising a central computer for administering the supply and demand relative to energy, whereby a monitoring of the supply and demand relative to energy can be carried out via an application software.

11. Method according to claim 3, wherein the motor vehicle is driven electrically.

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the storage units are stationary.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein, the energy is produced by at least one of the sun, wind, hydroelectric power, heat, geothermal energy, and biomass.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the users are registered.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the monitoring is carried out via an application software, an app.

16. The supply system of claim 10, wherein the energy provided is at least one of electrical energy and heat.

17. Method according to claim 2, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

18. Method according to claim 3, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

19. Method according to claim 4, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

20. Method according to claim 2, wherein the producers (1) and/or suppliers form a decentralized supply system.

Description

[0031] FIG. 1 shows, in a diagrammatic depiction, an embodiment of a supply system according to the invention for decentralized provision of electrical energy.

[0032] In a diagrammatic depiction, FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a supply system for decentralized provision of electrical energy. In this case, multiple decentralized producers 1 of electrical energy are arranged in a definable geographic area. Electrical energy can be transported between the producers 1 and consumers 2 of the electrical energy according to the supply and/or demand by means of movable storage units 3—without using any power line system. In this respect, a determination as to a definable type of power with means that are simple in design is made possible. For example, it can be ensured that producers 1 generate, for example, only renewable energy. This energy can then be transported according to the supply and/or demand by means of the movable storage units 3 to consumers 2 or other producers 1. For example, energy can be transported from one producer 1 to another producer 1, when an increased demand for electrical energy is present in the case of this last-mentioned producer 1. In addition, multiple producers 1 can also supply the same consumer 2 with electrical energy.

[0033] The movable storage units 3 are transported by means of motor vehicles. The producers 1 form a decentralized supply system to producers 1 for decentralized provision of electrical energy.

[0034] Supply and/or demand relative to the electrical energy is/are administered by a central computer, not shown here, or many local or regional supply system computers, which perform a super-regional supply and demand balancing, whereby multiple decentralized computers are more reliable than a single central computer. The monitoring of the supply and/or demand and the reserving of, ordering of, and/or paying for the electrical energy is done with a suitable application software, an app.

[0035] In the embodiment shown here, the motor vehicle that transports the storage unit 3 forms the “power line,” so to speak, which connects to one another the producers 1 and/or consumers 2 with respect to the transport of electrical energy.

[0036] As decentralized producers 1, various systems are suitable, for example a farm, a shopping center, a car dealership, and even private houses. This list is not to be viewed as exhaustive, however.

[0037] With respect to additional advantageous configurations of the method according to the invention and the supply system according to the invention, an effort should be made to avoid repetition in the general part of the specification as well as in the attached claims.

[0038] Finally, it should be expressly pointed out that the above-described embodiments of the teachings according to the invention are used only for discussing the claimed teachings, but the latter are not limited to the embodiments.
