Method, computer program product, device, and energy cluster service system for managing control targets, in particular load balancing processes, when controlling the supply, conversion, storage, infeed, distribution, and/or use of energy in an energy network

Abstract

Managing control targets, in particular, load balancing processes, when controlling the supply, conversion, storage, feed, distribution, and/or use of energy in an energy network if the increasing, volatile, dynamic, decentralized, local feed and/or storage of electric energy leads to loads at different network connection levels of the energy network to control the energy supply so efficiently and sustainably that load balancing processes resulting from occurring load deviations for example are supported locally and reduced regionally and/or across network connection levels. Provided are hierarchical and network-oriented energy clusters formed within network connection levels of the energy network, and in the process, the expenditure of energy and the local exchange of energy within energy clusters are localized across clusters and/or across network connection levels via a voluntary and incentivized participation in an energy cluster service which manages the control targets in the energy network.
