Description

PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 Description of the invention entitled: “ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM, VIRTUALIZED, FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS WITH WALLET VIRTUAL AND ASSOCIATED PROGRAM” in the name of: NOVOTECNA LIABILITY BENEFIT COMPANY LIMITED to: Catanzaro (CZ) Inventors: PALERMO Gennaro; PROCOPIO Antonio _________________________________________________________________ Description Field of technology The present invention fits into the context of management and optimization of photovoltaic systems, exploring the use of advanced digital technologies for improve the energy efficiency of end users. Particular importance is given to given to the concept of “digital twin” which allows the transfer of energy credits virtually, creating a balance between energy production and consumption from some of the users. Known art To date, a fundamental problem that emerges in the scope of action of the This invention addresses the increasingly pressing need to optimize and manage the energy produced by photovoltaic systems, in an energy context that requires constant evolution towards more efficient, reliable and interconnected. Existing solutions are mainly based on physical systems and real energy wallets with limited possibilities for interaction, control and remote optimization of the energy produced, forcing end users to a passive and limited management of the energy produced by its own production plants. There is a web-based sale of services called virtual photovoltaics, among which “GridShare”, “Virtual Photovoltaic” and “Cloud Photovoltaic” but these are, in PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 effects of solutions that foresee (moreover only with very brief hints via the web and without ever going into detail) to prepay a portion of energy which is then returned by bank transfer following the purchase of energy packages. With regard to industrial patents, it is necessary to examine what is currently available in light of the problem highlighted above. In particular, it must refer to patent WO2023102265A1 which discloses a system and a method for managing the energy of a vehicle power pack electric including a photovoltaic charging. This system includes packs of power supply and a photovoltaic array made up of interconnected photovoltaic cells which provide an electrical charge to the packs for their recharging. A database for Charge management stores data relating to the respective charge cycles of the packs based on their charging and discharging. An energy control system regulates the flow of power within the system to control the charging and discharging of the power pack, optimizes power flow based on their respective cycles of charge as traced in the data stored in the aforementioned database and updates the database based on the optimizations. An output interface shows the status of the power pack based on power flow, for example to indicate the effect of the optimizations on the packs themselves. Although the solution offered by the patent WO2023102265A1 introduces an advanced system for the management and the optimization of energy pack charging, its applications appear limited to the specific field of electric vehicles and do not extend to a system for the overall management of virtualized photovoltaic systems. Furthermore, this system It does not appear to have integrated energy simulation functionality with sensors environmental nor of an energy trading platform, thus limiting its use in a non-interactive and less flexible context of use than the needs outlined above. The state of the art analysis conducted did not disclosed competing patents directly comparable to the invention under consideration, the which emphasizes the inventive nature of the proposed system. Conventional solutions PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 in the field of photovoltaic energy management they are often limited to mechanisms basic monitoring, without an integrated platform that can offer a holistic and optimized energy management. This invention is distinguished clearly from these approaches, providing a solution that integrates virtualization of the photovoltaic system with an advanced virtual wallet system. The scope of application is very broad and also covers cases in which potential users, for example: - do not have spaces for the installation of photovoltaic systems or sufficient space to cover your energy needs; - even though there are areas available, these are subject to regulatory constraints; - reside in areas of the country where the productivity of the plants (Kwh / KWp) is reduced compared to other areas of the country; - they frequently change location and / or residence and it is not convenient economically the investment; - have areas available that are geographically very distant from each other to the localization of consumption. The legislation in force actually provides for the possibility of connecting a system of renewable energy production by installing it within a few km from the user but the costs of the construction of the physical connection (excavations, overhead power lines, etc.) make the adoption of this solution is prohibitive and cannot be amortized within a reasonable time frame except for very large-scale systems. It is evident that for situations of above, and for other similar ones, there is no physical solution, in accordance with the law and / or concretely widespread which allows for realistic and economical resolution sustainable solution to the problem. Virtualization allows us to overcome the limitations physics of traditional systems, while artificial intelligence applied to optimize energy consumption introduces a level of interactivity and significantly higher automation, improving efficiency and management of energy. These aspects, together with the possibility of simulating energy scenarios PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 in response to variable environmental conditions, give the invention a value added significantly in terms of precision, flexibility and control. It introduces a synergistically advanced program that also encompasses management of virtualized storage systems and expands towards the creation of an environment fully integrated and interactive energy system. In doing so, it elevates significantly improve renewable energy management by introducing a model example of active and conscious participation of the user in the context current energy. Description of the invention The present patent application for industrial invention intends to describe an energy management and optimization system for photovoltaic systems virtualized that exploits the concept of digital “virtual twin” to correlate the energy production of a real photovoltaic system compared to energy consumption of end users, by creating an accounting and compensation mechanism energetic. The basic idea is to provide end users with a “virtualized” photovoltaic system, which will simulate as a “digital twin”, a real photovoltaic system, or portions of it, installed elsewhere than the user connection point and, in any case case, even well beyond the distances foreseen up to now and at market costs. The system in question is based on a digital platform (hereinafter referred to as the programme for computer network) which allows the use of the service and provides two types of users: - the first concerns all those (end users) who purchase a share of a real, remote photovoltaic system that they want to use the energy produced in a different place than the one where the system is installed, virtually dislocating the energy on the so-called points of delivery (commonly known as POD) at a different or distant site from the production site of energy (hereinafter users); PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 - the second is that of the suppliers (admin) who have at least one photovoltaic system and consequently the capacity to produce energy (of followed by suppliers). This last category will deal with the management of activities on the platform (viewing orders and the ability to change the installation status of the systems), making available, in a fractional or total manner, their own photovoltaic system and the kWh it produces, viewing the details of how much produced and delivered to users. The heart of the invention requires two factors: essential preliminary, that the service provider is in possession of the license of national operator for the sale of electricity and gas to private users ownership of the platform (as described below) which will allow you to manage the energy and accounting dynamics of the service offered. The first factor is essential to connect the POD (hereinafter consumption user) and account for it in the bill in energy-economic netting of the “virtual twin” while the second factor it is the technological tool that allows you to put it into practice. The system is structured starting from at least one real photovoltaic system that produces energy and allows it to be fed into an energy distribution network electricity, the energy produced. At the same time, the aforementioned system is connected to a plurality of devices for measuring the energy produced and to devices for measurement of consumption associated with the user (which may be domestic, industrial and / or any other type of user) of each end user who has purchased a portion of the system. These devices are in turn remotely controlled connected to the said computer network program, which will allow to each user, as detailed below, to keep in the wallet, the share of energy produced by the virtual twin in the form of credits energy. It is emphasized that users will draw the energy they need directly from the aforementioned distribution network. In order to obtain correct and timely management of the netting of energy produced, PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 of that car consumed and that put into the network, the platform will receive in input the specific data on the plant's electricity production and consumption of electricity on the user side. This system will consequently allow for the accumulation of virtual energy credits by said users and their subsequent use in any area geographic area to which the user associates a POD. The computer network program will simulate the behavior of the real system, accounting for energy based on the physical and economic ones negotiated between user and supplier, providing for: i. to count and not to economically account for the energy withdrawn from the user from the network (in the relevant share) at the same time as the physical plant is producing it and feeding it into the grid, in case the energy produced by the physical plant is greater than / equal to the energy, in that moment, taken from the net; ii. count and account for the energy as customer credit, if applicable where the actual plant is feeding energy into the grid in a quantity greater than to what the user is currently drawing / consuming from the grid; iii. count and account for energy, with costs charged to the customer purchase rate of the quantity of energy, at that moment, withdrawn from the network in case the physical plant is not producing energy (for example at night); iv. count and account for energy, with the customer being charged for the costs difference between the energy drawn from the grid and the amount of energy fed into the grid from the physical system (e.g. in overcast conditions). The program for computer network, connected to the real photovoltaic system and each of the users who have purchased a share is configured for enable the synchronization and management of balance information energy of each user in a virtual wallet. PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 In this way, it is possible to charge the customer only for the energy delta taken from the network not covered by the relative and simultaneous photovoltaic production and accredit the benefits of the “digital twin” in the form of energy credit in relation to the amount fed into the grid and not self-consumed. The system tracks energy inputs and withdrawals, in time slots, in order to count the quantities produced and consumed and the related hourly time stamps for the purposes of traceability and verification, for example, by comparing the data detectable by the platform and from the data reported on the bill. Energy measuring devices, strategically placed inside of the plant, record production in real time while the devices consumption measurement, provide accurate data to enable the accounting of energy credits for each user. The above program for computer network, to which are connected the said measuring devices, acts as an interface and management dashboard in real time, both for the supplier and for the users, allowing to monitor, manage and optimize your energy quota. At the same time, to allow the counting of consumption by end users who have purchased energy credits, consumption measuring devices are also installed at each user managed through the aforementioned wallet described in detail below. As for the computer network program, it will be divided into: a. a monitoring subsystem that allows reading and / or estimating data of the actual photovoltaic system and of the loads of the individual users; b. a billing subsystem that allows for the invoicing of credits arising from joining the system to be integrated with the energy consumption bill of the user; c. a virtual photovoltaic management subsystem which, by receiving the data from the virtual photovoltaic system, displays the energies involved in relation to to the physical plant, to the portion of it purchased by the user and to the related PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 “virtual twin”. The production of the physical photovoltaic system will be divided into several portions and the energy generated by each of these portions will be associated with a user “remote” and, consequently, to a “virtual twin” reproduced by the program for computer. Knowing therefore the production of the plant or the share of it acquired from the user and the user's consumption the program will be able to simulate the flow data energy as if the portion of the system was installed at the POD of each user. In it the data collected by the measuring devices are synchronized and managed through an energy billing system that allows you to carry out the compensation between the energy produced and that consumed. In this case the The quantities that will be provided for each user will be: Epcp = Energy produced by the portion of the photovoltaic system Ec = Energy consumed by the user Eac = Virtually self-consumed energy Epr = Ec-Eac = Virtually extracted energy Ei = Epcp-Eac = Virtually injected energy Installed in the said program, moreover, there is a module for simulating a virtualized energy storage system (virtual storage system) which represents a crucial element of the system: being developed through software and simulation algorithms, virtually reproduces the load cycles and discharge typical of a real storage system, managing the energy balance of the users. The balance, expressed in energy or monetary credits, is accumulated in the said virtual wallet module and, in a further version, through a plurality of energy status display devices. This virtual wallet allows users to use accumulated credits for purchases within the ecosystem energy or, possibly, for participation in a trading platform PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 decentralized energy, thus also promoting the buying and selling of credits energy between users. Within the computer program, in addition to management and optimization energy, a billing module for economic netting is also implemented in bill. This form plays a crucial role in making the benefits tangible. of energy self-consumption and of the surplus produced by virtual photovoltaics. First of all, the billing module allows you to accurately calculate how much Energy credit has been accumulated in the user's wallet. This includes both the energy self-consumed and that fed into the grid and not used directly. Thanks to this precise calculation, the user can have a clear understanding of the own energy savings and the value of the accumulated credit, in fact the module billing performs economic netting directly in the consumption invoice energy. This means that the value of the credit accumulated in the wallet is subtracted directly from the user's energy bill. In practice, the savings energy obtained through self-consumption and the use of surplus is reflected directly into the user's energy account, thus reducing the final cost of the bill. As mentioned, the system also includes at least the following elements: - a plurality of servers in which the said network program is installed electronic computers, which also act as monitoring dashboards remote and real-time management and backoffice portal for management, - energy production measurement devices and energy measurement devices consumption, - environmental sensors, - interface for each type of user. This allows each user to be virtually assigned a share of production energy performance of the real photovoltaic system, based on the data collected by the meters and managed through the centralized platform. The system of PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 Energy balancing takes into account consumption and production in real time real, allowing a fair and personalized distribution of energy shares. Additionally, at the end of a certain month the distributor's data will be used to align measurements and / or simulations with actual data and for accounting energy. Ultimately, thanks to the energy management and optimization provided from the platform, the energy credit produced by the real and set aside photovoltaic in the aforementioned wallet, together with the set of services offered, which simulate the called virtual twin (or the so-called virtual storage system), translates into a reduction of the electricity bill and / or a compensation for it. In essence as if the self-consumed energy had never been purchased. Furthermore, the credit accumulated in the wallet for surplus energy, compared to the energy consumed by the car, It can also be used in an optimized way for a variety of services different (such as, by way of example and not limited to, car charging electric) also offering economic advantages. The real-time management dashboard provides system administrators a complete and updated overview of the distribution of production shares energy, allowing for management changes to be adopted in response to variations of production or demand. In it, the backoffice portal is dedicated to the administrative and accounting management of assigned quotas and energy credits generated, offering those in charge of management a powerful tool for control and optimization. The program associated with the above mentioned system is also supported by a database data storage that archives information relating to production and energy consumption, as well as the details of the transactions carried out. As regards any versions of this system, devices are foreseen for measuring and displaying energy status, these include mechanisms such as LED indicators, which provide all users with a immediate and effective feedback on the energy efficiency resulting from the use of the PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 platform. These devices are configured to intuitively display the energy efficiency status of the system in terms of energy consumed and produced, allowing them to immediately understand the impact of their choices energy or their energy purchases and to adapt their behavior to maximize energy savings. The synergy between the said program and the devices part of the system allows a continuous feedback mechanism that fuels the optimization process energy: this includes the ability to monitor, for example, the conditions atmospheric through the aforementioned environmental sensors (thermal, light and anemometric) and / or weather prediction platforms, including third-party ones and predict variables such as solar radiation intensity, production effective photovoltaic system and production capacity of the systems real photovoltaic day by day. This feature allows you to manage the activities daily activities that require the use of electricity based on the actual production potential of each plant. The indicators installed in the modules included within the said program display consumption and production data in real time, supporting the user in understanding one's energy profile in terms not only of consumption but of efficient consumption. This aspect is fundamental to encourage practices of responsible use of energy and to improve the overall efficiency of the system. Based on the same principle, through the program in question it is permitted Simulation of virtual storage batteries for energy optimization produced by virtual photovoltaics achieving an accumulation functionality virtual that will simulate the behaviors of real physical batteries of accumulation. This will be enabled through a real-time simulation module. of loading / unloading cycles to provide each user with an identical experience to the possession of a photovoltaic system complete with installed storage system PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 physically at your home or business. The module for real-time simulation of loading and unloading behaviors consists of advanced software and specific algorithms capable of emulating the Operating dynamics of virtual batteries within the photovoltaic system virtualized. This aspect of the invention provides: - a simulation module that creates a virtual model that reflects the energy storage and release characteristics typical of a physical battery, adapting to the energy flow data detected on the user; - computing algorithms responsible for managing the data collected by the devices energy measurement, which process production and consumption variables and “virtually” stored energy such as radiation intensity solar, the actual production of the photovoltaic system and the consumption energy to determine the ideal loading and unloading cycles by simulating the behavior of a physical storage system. The advantage of this solution is the total absence of physical equipment with relative total absence of: - costs for maintenance of the equipment as it is virtual and not physical; - end-of-life disposal costs. The virtual system (virtual photovoltaic + virtual storage) will guarantee the behavior of a physical storage system connected to a plant physical photovoltaic namely: 1. the energy produced by the plant will be used, with priority, to power the load and, in the event that this requires less energy than that produced, It will be used to recharge the batteries; once the charge is reached maximum energy will be fed into the grid; 2. if the energy required by the load is greater than that produced from the system, the battery, if charged, will supply energy to the same load and, in in case of even higher needs, it will be absorbed by the network; PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 3. if the system does not produce energy and the batteries have a share of stored energy these will provide, by discharging, the energy request and, if it is not sufficient, the energy will be taken from the grid. Ultimately, this ensures the management of the energy balance in the said virtual wallet module in an optimal manner and according to needs. The energies involved overall within the system in question are: ENERGIES INVOLVED BY THE INTERESTED PARTY NOVOTECNA CUSTOMER The energy produced by the physical plant x The energy fed into the grid by the physical plant x The share of energy produced / attributed to the “virtual twin” xx The energy drawn by the user (from the GRID) xx The energy consumed by user xx The energy fed into the grid by the “virtual twin” xx The energy stored in the “virtual batteries” – state of charge xx The number of charge / discharge cycles “used” of the virtual batteries xx The simulated energy distribution also allows users to manage their own production quotas efficiently and accurately predict the potential of energy storage and consumption, ensuring optimal management of resources and greater automation in the trade-off between production and consumption. The loading and unloading of the vehicle also takes place in the above simulation module. virtual storage system. Through this integration, the algorithm is in able to proactively advise when to store additional energy in the virtual wallet balance and when to use previously used energy instead stored to meet the energy consumption demands of end users, increasing the efficiency and overall sustainability of the photovoltaic system virtualized. PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 Furthermore, the ability to convert surpluses into digital credits emphasizes the aspect innovative invention, placing the user at the center of an ecosystem flexible and highly customizable energy. In essence, through the program described above, it will also be permitted (by way of example and not limitation) to each user to: - change the user to associate the virtual system with, for example, if the customer decides to change location and / or residence, changing the point of delivery (POD) of reference. This operation is permitted through the so-called virtual plant portability. - Install virtual systems on areas available to the user and connect the “virtual twin” to other users to reduce consumption. For example, a customer who has a secondary residence (such as a beach house) and reside in the city (where there is space for the installation of the system) could install the system at the secondary residence and use the energy produced in the house in the city by connecting the “virtual twin” to this POD. During the holidays, he could “move” the “virtual twin” to the secondary residence to use energy when and where needed. In the case in which, however, the user is associated with a supermarket chain that you own several offices operating in a condominium or you wish to purchase a large area for the operation, it could install the plant on that area and use it in various locations, connecting their respective delivery points (PODs) to the “virtual twins” of the physical plant. Another important application concerns the possibility given to the user to visually check in real time whether it is using energy at its own expense arrangement through two methods: - directly on the meter through the use of the meter's visual LEDs; - directly accessing the portal via a traffic light indicator. According to the following color indications: PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 - if the user is drawing energy from the distribution network the LED will be red; - if the user is virtually feeding energy into the distribution network or in virtual batteries or if it is storing energy (i.e. the relative value (economic) in the photovoltaic wallet, the LED will be yellow; - if the user is self-consuming the energy produced virtually through the virtual twin simulation system, the LED will be green. The dynamic energy management procedure within the module simulation allows for the allocation and redistribution of energy share virtual accumulated in the wallet module based on needs and preferences of the user, for example for the aforementioned charging of electric vehicles or for the possible sale via the trading platform. Additionally, coupling of the virtual energy share with devices is allowed of real measurement and environmental sensors, so as to adjust the energy distribution with respect to peaks in energy production and consumption of the user. Regarding the balancing of energy consumption of the user with virtual production the system is configured to compensate automatically the variations in the user's energy consumption, drawing on the energy credits present in the wallet if the actual photovoltaic production is insufficient. Intelligent balance management involves the acquisition of energy from the electricity grid using the accumulated energy credits, or sell the excess of credit on the energy markets via the trading module. Furthermore, the simulation algorithm works in synergy with an intelligence module artificial to adjust the energy balance to production forecasts photovoltaic and user consumption patterns, maximizing efficiency energetic. The above program for computer network through the intelligence module artificial allows to compensate the user's energy consumption with the PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 virtual production and for the purchase of grid energy in case of need performing: - a correlation between the physical production of the real photovoltaic system and the virtual energy quotas assigned to users which allows for compensation between the energy consumed and that produced at the same time; - the automatic purchase of energy from the grid when virtual energy available is not sufficient to cover the consumption made by the end user; - a communication with the interactive trading module, which regulates the transactions and the interface between users and the network provider, enabling a optimal management of energy resources. This compensation mechanism is based on data acquired by the devices energy measurement and subsequently by the program in question. The procedure energy system optimization is entrusted to a set of algorithms said artificial intelligence module that analyzes and acts on the data, considering external weather forecasts and specific requests from each user for adapt energy management by processing historical and real-time data to anticipate consumption peaks with energy production. Coming to the smart environmental sensors they are configured to measure and track environmental parameters, such as temperature, brightness and wind speed, allowing the interactive platform to adapt the energy parameters in proactively. For example, they suggest purchasing grid energy in moments of high demand or low photovoltaic production, or recommend the energy consumption from the virtual wallet when the accumulated energy is significant. They are placed near the actual photovoltaic system and inside of the user's home or industrial environment, transmitting in real time the environmental data collected on the central platform. The platform processes these data in synergy with the battery behavior simulation module virtual, to adapt the energy storage and release strategy in the wallet PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 virtual. These components work together to achieve a balance dynamic between virtual production and real consumption, promoting a consumption responsible and aware energy use by users. Furthermore, the system is in able to communicate with the grid energy supplier to automatically manage the purchase of additional energy, if it is necessary to integrate the quota virtual with physical energy. This ensures that the user always has access to sufficient energy, while simultaneously reducing grid dependence and, consequently, the overall environmental impact. The artificial intelligence module is also configured to analyze data from Energy consumption collected in real time and predict future behaviors of users in terms of energy usage; it is able, for example, to identify periods of peak consumption and provide suggestions for optimising efficiency energy. Thanks to this analysis, artificial intelligence supports the management of energy credits, directing the user towards the optimal use of resources available. Finally, the system of intelligent notifications and automatic responses is designed to work in synergy with the artificial intelligence module, in fact, through the environmental sensors and servers, the system notifies savings opportunities energy detected, suggesting specific actions or automatically implementing them optimization interventions. This includes, but is not limited to, the automatic adjustment of energy-consuming devices in response to signals sent from the central platform, with the aim of maximizing efficiency energy without compromising user comfort. In a further version the system integrates a management functionality charging for electric vehicles (and / or with other types of load) configured for optimize charging times and costs by using energy from the system real photovoltaic in direct correlation with the energy management platform PRAXI Intellectual Property SpA PF / RM / 248p2023 virtualized. This module integrates seamlessly into the overall architecture. of the invention and interacts synergistically with other components of the system to maximize energy efficiency. The aforementioned charging management module is structured through at least: - a communication interface configured to connect with vehicles electric, allowing the two-way transmission of information relating to to the charge levels, the vehicle's energy consumption profiles and the charging scheduling; - a plurality of energy measuring devices that detect the Real-time photovoltaic energy production and energy quantity fed into the electric vehicle charging system; - an integrated notification system that, using communication modules data, informs the user about the charging status and any adjustments to be implemented to further improve efficiency. The synergy between the charging management module and the program allows, through the continuous exchange of information, to collect data on energy production and cross-reference them with the vehicle's energy demand, allowing you to plan charging at times when photovoltaic production it is optimal to use energy credits accumulated in the virtual wallet in case of lower solar production. In parallel, in a further version, through the energy trading module energy credits are managed and a community of users engaged in the creation energy transition. This allows not only to monetize surplus energy but also to acquire energy at advantageous costs and in times of greater availability, thus promoting a conscious and optimised use of energy within the virtualized energy ecosystem.
