Title: A system and method of renewable energy distribution
Inventor: DAVID MUTCH
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 2022-03-04
Abstract: A switch 24, 26 is provided and configured to selectively connect the output of the grid-tie inverter 22 to either first premises 1 or second premises 2. The grid-tie inverter 22 converts the DC output of a renewable energy source 20 to an AC output. In this way because of differences between the patterns of electricity consumption across the day, the renewable energy generated gets greater utilization than would otherwise be the case, so less renewable power is wasted. Local renewable generation is seldom 100% utilized by the consumer, because the premises typically don’t always use all the renewable power for all the time. Accordingly, the output of grid-tie inverters typically slightly exceeds that of the grid so that power may flow to the grid if the demand at the consumer’ premises is insufficient. However, feeding electrical power back to the grid is inefficient due to transmission losses, and is preferably avoided.
