Claim 0:
1. A micro-grid including at least:
a first heating appliance comprising a first electrical energy storage device adapted to be recharged from an electric power supply source, at least one first heater member adapted to be powered from the electric power supply source and/or from the first electrical energy storage device, and a first communication module,
a second heating appliance comprising a second electrical energy storage device adapted to be recharged from the electric power supply source, at least one second heater member adapted to be powered from the electric power supply source and/or from the second electrical energy storage device, and a second communication module, and
a supervision module adapted to communicate at least with the second communication module,
wherein:
i) the first communication module is configured to:
obtain, and transmit to the second communication module, a first set of data including:
at least one measurement related to an electrical consumption of the first heating appliance where said electrical consumption of the first heating appliance is an amount of electric power transmitted to the first heating appliance by the electric power supply source,
at least one measurement related to an electrical production of the first heating appliance where said electrical production of the first heating appliance is an amount of electric power consumed by the first heating appliance from the first electrical energy storage device,
and at least one measurement related to an actual state of charge of the first electrical energy storage device,
control the power supply of the first heater member from the first electrical energy storage device and/or from the electric power source taking into account the measurement related to the actual state of charge of the first electrical energy storage device and of a first state of charge setpoint related to a target state of charge of the first electrical energy storage device,

ii) the second communication module is configured to:
obtain, and transmit to the supervision module, the first set of data,
obtain and transmit to the supervision module, a second set of data distinct from the first set of data, the second set of data including at least one data related to the electric power supply source and at least one measurement related to an actual state of charge of the second electrical energy storage device,
receive from the supervision module, and transmit to the first communication module, said first state of charge setpoint,
receive, from the supervision module, a second state of charge setpoint related to a target state of charge of the second electrical energy storage device,
control the power supply of the second heater member from the second electrical energy storage device and/or from the electric power source taking into account the measurement related to the actual state of charge of the second electrical energy storage device and the second state of charge setpoint,

iii) the supervision module is configured to:
receive the first set of data and the second set of data,
generate from the first set of data and the second set of data, and transmit to the second communication module, the first state of charge setpoint and the second state of charge setpoint.
