Abstract :
[en] The world-wide energy consumption has almost doubled since 1980 despite efforts towards energy saving and efficiency. This trend is supposed to continue for the decades to come so that major energy crises with electricity cuts and shortage of petrol or gas are anticipated. Furthermore, an ever increasing consumption of fossil fuels significantly contributes to further emissions of greenhouse gases and consequently to global warming in conjunction with catastrophic climate changes. These impacts are reduced to a large extent through utilisation of renewable energy sources for and within decentralised user facilities. The present invention relates to a method of communicating operation modes between a user facility control unit at a user facility and a utility grid control unit of a utility grid. In particular, it relates to a decentralised method of communicating operation modes between a user facility control unit at a user facility with renewable energy supply and a utility grid control unit of a utility grid.
