  • Patent number: 12074439
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for directional transmission of power in the form of energy packets via a transmission network. The power to be transmitted is adjustable at least one location x of each edge by a data and computer network. A data packet is biuniquely assigned to each energy packet, which data packet is formed in a control instance of the data and computer network by means of predictions. This data packet describes an optimized transport path via which optimized transport path a source transmits the physical power in a fixed transmission period T to a load for partial demand coverage. Furthermore, the data packet describes the power class of the energy packet, wherein this power class is defined by the temporal course of a nominal power Pnom(t) determined by predictions and by a remainder R(t) in the transmission period determined by a function of an uncertainty of the predictions.
