Abstract

Disclsoed is a method for the decentralized provision of energy, preferably electricity or heat. In the method, a plurality of decentralized energy producers (1) and/or energy suppliers is located in a definable geographic region, and the energy is transported between the energy producers (1), energy suppliers, energy buyers and/or energy consumers (2) according to the offer and/or demand by mobile storage units (3), without using any cable system. A corresponding supply system for the decentralized provision of energy is also disclosed.

Claims

1. Method for the decentralized provision of energy, whereby multiple decentralized energy producers (1) and/or energy suppliers are arranged in a definable geographic area, and whereby the energy is transported between energy producers (1), energy suppliers, energy buyers, and/or energy consumers (2) according to the supply and/or demand by means of movable storage units (3)—

without using any power line system—

wherein the supply and demand relative to energy are administered by a central computer and wherein a monitoring of the supply and demand relative to energy is carried out by an application software.

2. Method according to claim 1, wherein a movable storage unit (3) is assigned to a motor vehicle.

3. Method according to claim 2, wherein the motor vehicle is a passenger car, a truck, a bus, a motorcycle, a train car, or a trailer.

4. Method according to claim 2, wherein the motor vehicle is driven electrically.

5. Method according to claim 1, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

6. Method according to claim 1, wherein the producers (1) and/or suppliers form a decentralized supply system.

7. Method according to claim 1, wherein the energy is renewable.

8. Method according to claim 1, wherein a monitoring of the supply and/or demand relative to energy by users is made possible via the Internet.

9. Method according to claim 1, wherein a reserving of, ordering of, and/or paying for energy is carried out via an application software, an app.

10. Supply system for decentralized provision of energy for implementing the method according to claim 1, whereby multiple decentralized energy producers (1) and/or energy suppliers are arranged in a definable geographic area and whereby energy can be transported between energy producers (1), energy suppliers, energy buyers, and/or energy consumers (2) according to the supply and/or demand by means of movable storage units (3)—

without using any power line system, the supply system comprising a central computer for administering the supply and demand relative to energy, whereby a monitoring of the supply and demand relative to energy can be carried out via an application software.

11. Method according to claim 3, wherein the motor vehicle is driven electrically.

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the storage units are stationary.

13. The method of claim 7, wherein, the energy is produced by at least one of the sun, wind, hydroelectric power, heat, geothermal energy, and biomass.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the users are registered.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the monitoring is carried out via an application software, an app.

16. The supply system of claim 10, wherein the energy provided is at least one of electrical energy and heat.

17. Method according to claim 2, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

18. Method according to claim 3, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

19. Method according to claim 4, wherein the storage units for the energy are assigned to the producers (1) and/or suppliers.

20. Method according to claim 2, wherein the producers (1) and/or suppliers form a decentralized supply system.
