  • the distribution network operator 14 is also connected to the Internet 42 via a communication link 46.
  • the direct sales power supply company 48 does not have to build its own lines to the end customer 18, but can use existing networks 12 or 16. In this way, the end user 18 has the choice between two or more providers and can optionally choose the cheaper one.
  • the direct sales EVU 48 can offer electricity at a lower cost because it purchases transmission capacity or energy or transmission capacity, for example, in large quantities and therefore at low cost.
  • the distribution network operator 14 may be advantageous for the distribution network operator 14 to sell electricity via direct sales EVU 48, since the distribution network operator 14 saves at least some of the corresponding expenses and costs for advertising and direct customer care and can concentrate entirely on the operation, maintenance and repair of the distribution network 16 . Furthermore, the distribution network operator 14 or generator 10 can also deliver electricity to customers outside of its regional distribution network 16 via the direct sales EVU 48, if the direct sales power supply company 48 has made corresponding agreements with other neighboring distribution network operators, for example, and the power generation or line capacities there, if applicable . are not sufficient to meet the demand or the electricity costs there are higher.
  • the direct sales EVU 48 therefore buys network capacity or energy or Pass-through capacity at the distribution system operator 14 and / or producer 10 and sells an amount of electricity supplied to the end consumer 18 further, which is still only on Distribution network 16 of its distribution network operator 14, which then differs from the direct sales EVU 48 is connected.
  • the direct sales power supply company 48 offers the electricity in shops or via e-commerce via a data network (e.g. internet). On corresponding purchase of electricity by the end user 18 at the Direct sales RU 48 is then as follows:
  • the end customer 18 decides to accept the offer and purchases in one Retail store, such as supermarket, gas station or Department store, at the beginning of the week KW 13 250 kWh of energy in the form of Electricity from the direct sales EVU 48.
  • the end user receives 18 either later via Internet 42 and connection 40 one full authorization key, which is then via line 38 in the Counter 20 is loaded, or alternatively a card on which part A of a Authorization key is printed.
  • This alternative is special then an advantage if there is no Internet connection at the end user 18 40 or possibly not even a device controller 28, 30, 36 with a data connection 38 exists.
  • the end consumer follows purchasing the energy in the store home and calling his Distribution network operator 14, which corresponding, contained on the card Queries information.
  • the distribution system operator 14 transmits to the End user a second part B of the authorization key, so that the end user now has a full authorization key comprehensively holds part A and part B in his hands.
  • This full authorization key is then manually, for example, by the end user 18 entered into the counter 20 via a keyboard 60 connected to the counter.
  • the end user can 18 Enter the authorization key in this, too the device control 28, 30 36 then the authorization key Data line 38 loads into the counter 20.
  • part A of the authorization key is already on the card in electronic form, for example in a chip or on a magnetic stripe, a card reader can be installed on the device control be provided, which is part A of the authorization key reads directly. In this case, only the operator of the distribution network operator must telephone 14 transmitted part B of the authorization key from End users 18 can be entered manually.
  • the distribution network operator 14 can part B of the authorization key via the Internet 42 to device control 28, 30, 36, for example transmitted by e-mail so that the end user has no manual Must enter the authorization key.
  • the counter 20 itself has a total counter, a downward counter and an up counter.
  • a conventional counter can also be used 20 only be connected to a total counter, which Down counter and the up counter then as a separate unit or units are to be provided, which may then be the property of the end user 18 are.
  • these separate units and if necessary, the external keyboard 60 of the counter 20 is then also from the direct sales power supply company 48 in conjunction with an electricity supply contract, which accordingly is bound to the end customer for a longer period of time, then the sales price for this separate unit is then partial is subsidized by the electricity contract and the end user then a correspondingly lower purchase price for this separate unit have to pay.
  • the counter 20 After entering or loading the full authorization key the counter 20 checks the authenticity or validity of this Key and, if necessary, sets the downward counter to the amount of electricity purchased, So in the present case to 250 kWh, and activates the forward counter. As soon as the amount of electricity purchased is used up, i.e. the down counter is set to zero, the up counter is stopped. In the full The authorization key is in addition to the amount of electricity purchased (250 kWh) also contain a calendar date or a reference period. As soon as the current calendar date after that in the authorization key included calendar date or as soon as that in the authorization key contained period of time has expired, it will become this if applicable Time counter not yet set to zero set to zero and the up-counter stopped. Any remaining credit expires.
  • Any energy transport will therefore be for the period KW 13 to the end of KW 16 or up to zero of the down counter by "Counting down" the down counter and "Counting up” the Up counter registered.
  • the up-counter registers the actual purchase quantity.
  • the total counter counts as usual further up.
  • the difference between the Counter reading of the total counter and the counter reading of the up-counter determines an amount of electricity supplied by the distribution system operator 14 only this difference to the end user 18th is calculated by the distribution system operator 14.
  • the amount of electricity according to The direct sales power supply company 48 directly counts upwards to the end user 18 calculated. Possibly.
  • the end user 18 obtains in the course of a Billing period one after the other electricity from different direct sales power supply companies 48, so that the delivered according to the up-counter Then the amount of electricity according to the respective electricity supply contracts divides the various direct sales RU 48. Possibly. is for every direct sales utility company 48 its own up-counter and optionally also Down counter provided.
  • the functions of the various parties involved in the above, power supply network can be how summarize as follows:
  • the producer or transmission system operator 10 generates electricity for energy transmission, transports this electricity or the energy to the distribution system operator 14 via the one operated by him Transmission network 12 and calculates a corresponding transmission the direct sales utility company 48 and the distribution system operator 14.
  • the Distribution network operator 14 transports the electricity or energy to the end customer 18, guarantees a basic service, this counts with the end customer 18 and calculates a transmission with the person concerned Direct sales EVU 48 from.
  • the direct sales EVU 48 offers "Power by Call "or electricity over the Internet 42, organizes the transmission from Producer 10 via the distribution network operator 14 to the end user 18 and settles with end customer 18 via e-commerce.
  • the distribution network operator 14 can for each end consumer or tariff customer 18 the transmission volume that occurred per billing period from the respective counter reading of the up and down counter Determine by calculating the difference. For billing the transit the distribution system operator knows the individual direct sales EVU 48 14 the individual, temporary electricity supply contracts, since he by creating the second part (part B) of the full authorization key has been informed accordingly. Without this part B of the Authorization key would be the counter to the authorization key do not accept as valid and increment the counter and refuse to start the up-counter.
  • a data center may be provided for the direct sales EVU 48, which for a fully automatic processing of the order via Internet 42 and the collection activities to be derived from it. For customer care a call center is also planned. From those with the respective Orders obtained from the data center are also processed Automatically required "energy transport timetables" are created because the period, Amount and location of the service consumption by the end user 18 are part of the order information. Coordinated based on these timetables of the direct sales EVU 48 its requirements with regard to quantity and goals of Transmission with the producers or transmission system operators 10 and the distribution network operators 14. For the generation of the required authorization key becomes partial information in the authorization key of the respective distribution system operator 14 as mandatory in the System installed, i.e. the counter 20 is designed such that it only then an authorization key is verified as genuine, if it is contains the second part (part B) generated by the distribution system operator. This enforces the exchange of information between the direct sales RU 48 and the respective distribution system operator 14.
  • the possible integration of the data connection 38 in the form of a PLC at the location of the end user 18 saves complex installations in transformer stations of the distribution network operator 14.
  • less effort is required with regard to data security since either only a distribution network tree from the meter 20 to the electrical installation 26 of the end customer 18 is necessary or, if the authorization key is entered manually, no transmission of the authorization key takes place via electronic data networks that are endangered by security.
  • the end user 18 can optionally create his own keys for private data protection for his device control 28, 30, 36.
  • the administration at the level of the distribution network operator 14 is omitted.
  • the system according to the invention is open to the market of rapidly increasing "home automation”, but does not absolutely need such "home automation”.
  • the keyboard 60 as an input device on the counter 20 can additionally or as an alternative to "Home Automation" with the device control components 28, 30, 36, internal data connection 38 and external data connection 40 be provided.
