Method and device for registering electrical consumption and generation
First Claim
1. A device for an energy management system in a form of at least one energy management unit for optimizing loads and generation in an energy management network, the device configured for connection in a power distribution system having a plurality of separate electrical consumers and a plurality of separate power generators, the device comprising:
- switching elements and energy meters, which are influenceable or analyzable by the energy management unit via a connection thereto,wherein the switching elements are situated in a switching matrix including a plurality of switching modules such that the energy meters for the generators and the consumers are switchable in series or in parallel, as a function of a particular instantaneous feed-in remuneration pricing rate of a generator or consumption pricing rate of a consumer, which are received by the energy management unit from different utility companies, wherein each of the plurality of switching modules includes a plurality of structural elements and is integrated into the switching matrix, wherein the structural elements include a plurality of switches, an energy meter and at least one energy flow direction indicator, a separate switching module being assigned to each generator and each consumer for billing,wherein, when a lowest feed-in remuneration pricing rate is greater than or equal to a highest consumption pricing rate, the switching elements decouple the generators from the consumers, couple the generators to a public power grid, and couple the consumers to the public power grid.

Abstract
A method and device for registering electrical consumption and generation in an energy management network has at least one energy management unit, and, in a power distribution system, a number of electrical consumers or consumer groups and a number of generators are interconnected with the aid of assigned components in the form of switching elements and energy meters, which are influenced or analyzed by the energy management unit, as a function of the purchase price and the feed-in remuneration.

9. A method for registering electrical consumption and generation in an energy management network, which has at least one energy management unit, and, in a power distribution system, at least one electrical consumer and at least one generator being interconnected via switching elements and energy meters, which are influenced or analyzed by the energy management unit, the method comprising:
-
indexing, via a switching algorithm, the consumers, beginning with an instantaneous highest purchase price, and the generators, beginning with a lowest feed-in remuneration, and coupling, based on the indexing, the consumers and the generators via the switching elements such that a number of couplings of the consumers having high purchase prices with the generators having low feed-in remunerations is maximized. wherein, when the lowest feed-in remuneration is greater than or equal to the highest purchase price, the switching elements decouple the generators from the consumers, couple the generators to a public power grid, and couple the consumers to the public power grid. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
