Abstract
A method for controlling energy supply to different units includes receiving, by an aggregator, the demand request signal, and performing, by the aggregator, an allocation of the requested demand modification to the units based on a negotiating process with the units for minimizing an impact of the allocation on a future operation of another utility or of other utilities. Each unit is connected to multiple utilities for receiving enemy for operating its energy systems. A demand request signal is provided by at least one operational entity and/or by at least one utility for requesting a demand modification of a utility and/or of one form of energy.
