METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method of controlling the transfer of electricity between a collection of a plurality of electricity storage devices and an electrical power network, the plurality of electricity storage devices having a communication line therebetween, the method comprising:
- receiving a message at a first electricity storage device from a controlling device and, in response to the message;
transferring electricity between the first electricity storage device and the electrical power network; and
sending, from the first electricity storage device to a second electricity storage device, a second message containing data in response to which the second electricity storage device transfers electricity to or from the electrical power network.

Abstract
A method of controlling the connection of a collection of a plurality of electricity providing devices to an electrical power network is described. In this, the plurality of electricity providing devices having a communication line therebetween and the method comprises receiving a message at a first electricity providing device from a controlling device and, in response to the message: connecting the first electricity providing device to the electrical power network; and sending, from the first electricity providing device to a second electricity providing device, a second message containing data in response to which the second electricity providing device is connected to the electrical power network.

10. An electricity storage device operable to provide electrical energy to an electrical power network, comprising:
-
a communication interface operable to communicate with a second, different, electricity storage device and to receive a message at the electricity storage device from a controlling device and, a controller operable in response to the message to; transfer electricity between the electricity storage device and the electrical power network; and
, using the communication interface to send to the second electricity storage device, a second message containing data in response to which the second electricity storage device transfers electricity to or from the electrical power network. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
