Abstract

A method and a system are presented for operating a local energy network that has a limited network utilization and in which a plurality of loads can be connected via a power network. An energy requirement of each load is detected, and an allocation of the available energy to the loads takes place as a function of a maximum utilization of the energy network. At the same time, communication is enabled.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A method for operating a local energy network that has a limited network utilization and in which a plurality of loads can be connected via a power network, the method comprising:

detecting an energy requirement of each load; and

providing an allocation of an available energy to the loads as a function of a maximum utilization of the energy network, wherein the allocation is carried out by a system that at the same time enables a communication.

12. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein the allocation is carried out on the basis of a prioritization.

13. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising:

connecting an electric vehicle having a battery as a load.

14. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising:

carrying out the communication with a user.

15. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising:

carrying out the communication with another energy network.

16. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein the allocation is less than a corresponding energy requirement.

17. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein the communication takes place via one of the power network and a power line.

18. A system for operating a local energy network that has a limited network utilization and in which a plurality of loads can be connected via a power network, comprising:

an arrangement for detecting an energy requirement of each load; and

an arrangement for providing an allocation of an available energy to the loads as a function of a maximum utilization of the energy network, wherein;

the system enables a communication.

19. The system as recited in claim 18, further comprising:

an arrangement fashioned for enabling communication at least one of in the energy network and with at least one other energy network.

20. The system as recited in claim 18, further comprising:

an arrangement for providing data from the Internet to a connected electric vehicle for the purpose of range management.
