Abstract

A method for controlling the stability of an electric supply grid is provided. A first device, designed to exchange electrical energy with the supply grid, locates a part of the supply grid, with which the first device is associated for an energy connection, by a geographic location of the first device. The first device determines parameters for an intended energy exchange. At least one second device associated with the part of the supply grid for energy exchange also determines parameters for an intended energy exchange. The first device performs the energy exchange considering the parameters of the first and the second device such that an electric stability of the part of the supply grid is ensured.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A method for controlling the stability of an electric supply grid, comprising:

locating a supply grid by a first device via a geographical location of the first device, wherein the first device is embodied to exchange electrical energy with the supply grid,

determining, by the first device, first parameters for an energy exchange with the supply grid,

determining, by a second device associated with the supply grid, second parameters for an energy exchange with the supply grid, and

exchanging electrical energy between the first device and the supply grid based upon the first and second parameters such that an electrical stability of the supply grid is ensured.

15. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein an end consumer, as the first device and/or as the second device, determines the first and/or second parameters for the energy exchange.

16. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the second device is a power plant component.

17. The method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the end consumer is an electrically-powered car.

18. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first and/or second parameters are selected from the group consisting of an intended power exchange with the first and/or second device, a prevailing frequency in the supply grid, an output available in the supply grid, an expected change of the power output and the frequency in the supply grid in case of the energy exchange, and a combination thereof.

19. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first device exchanges the first and/or second parameters with the second device and/or with the supply grid by way of a connected power supply line.

20. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first device exchanges the first and/or second parameters with the second device and/or with the supply grid by way of a radio communication process.

21. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the first device performs the energy exchange by taking additional parameters of a network node point of the supply grid into consideration in order to ensure the electrical stability of the supply grid.

22. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the supply grid derives rules for ensuring the stability of the supply grid based upon the first and second parameters of the first and second devices.

23. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein a local control of reactive power and/or active power and/or frequency of the supply grid is implemented using the first and second parameters.

24. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein electrical energy is fed into the supply grid by way of connected power plants, wherein nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, steam power plants and/or power plants with a temporally predictable energy output are used as power plants.

25. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein electrical energy is fed into the supply grid by way of connected solar power plants and/or wind power plants.

26. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the location of the first and/or second device and/or the supply grid is determined with a terminal which is provided for the energy exchange with the supply grid.

27. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the location of the first and/or second device and/or the supply grid is determined with a GPS or with a DGPRS or with a GPS-based system.
