Methods and apparatuses for allocating amounts of energy
First Claim
1. A method for allocating an amount of energy per prosumer, the method comprising:
- determining a maximum amount of energy and a minimum amount of energy for each prosumer;
generating a maximum total amount of energy, the generating of the maximum total amount of energy comprising summing the maximum amounts of energy for each prosumer;
generating a minimum total amount of energy, the generating of the minimum total amount of energy comprising summing the minimum amounts of energy for each prosumer;
generating a first amount of energy, the generating of the first amount of energy comprising forming a difference between the maximum total amount of energy and the minimum total amount of energy;
generating a respective second amount of energy per prosumer, the generating of the respective second amount of energy per prosumer comprising forming a difference between a respective maximum amount of energy and a respective minimum amount of energy;
generating an energy factor per prosumer, the generating of the energy factor per prosumer comprising multiplying the respective second amount of energy by a reciprocal of the first amount of energy;
generating a respective amount of energy, the generating of the respective amount of energy comprising adding the respective minimum amount of energy and a product of an absolute value of the minimum total amount of energy and the respective energy factor, such that;
a relative position of the respective amount of energy is produced within an interval, defined by the minimum amount of energy and the maximum amount of energy, of the respective prosumer such that the relative positions of each of the prosumers have an identical value; and
a sum of the respective amounts of energy for each prosumer yields a value of zero.

Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for allocating amounts of energy for prosumers, wherein the prosumers provide minimum and maximum amounts of energy for a future interval of time and the respective amounts of energy from the prosumers are generated in such a manner that, on the one hand, a relative position of the amount of energy within an interval for the particular prosumer, as defined by the minimum amount of energy and the maximum amount of energy, assumes an identical value for all prosumers and, on the other hand, a sum of the amounts of energy from all prosumers produces a value of zero. The invention can be used in the distribution of amounts of energy in a power supply system having conventional energy producers and energy consumers as well as in novel participants in the power supply system which can both consume and provide energy, for example an electric vehicle.
