Energy resource system
First Claim
1. An energy resource management server comprising:
- means for receiving energy availability messages from remote energy resources and geographic location indicators indicative of the geographical location of said remote energy resources;
means for receiving energy request messages from remote energy resources and geographic location indicators indicative of the geographical location of said remote energy resources;
a processor configured to determine counterparties in an energy resource transfer based on received energy availability messages and received energy request messages and the geographical location of the remote energy resources and one or more of;
i. a transfer time comprising an amount of time at least one of the remote energy resource is willing to engage in said energy resource transfer,ii. energy availability time window comprising a temporal window of time at least one of the remote energy resources is available for sharing, andiii. a measure of the time required to transfer a particular amount of energy between remote energy resources,wherein the processor is configured to transmit, to one or both of the counterparties, geographical location information of the other counterparty of the determined counterparties.
