NOVELTY - The network has private energy agents (PEA) associated to multiple energy consumption units e.g. office buildings, and/or energy generation units. The agents are networked among each other. Each agent communicates with the other agents in an energy network. The network is designed such that distribution of energy in the network takes place based on phase-specific monetary transactions, which are negotiated between the agents. Each agent includes a transaction unit, which automatically negotiates prices with the other agents for providing and/or delivering the energy.    USE - Three-phase decentralized energy network i.e. low voltage network, for distributing electrical energy produced from energy generation units to energy consumption units. Uses include but are not limited to distribute electrical energy produced from photovoltaic systems, generator systems, wind turbines, sterling engines, batteries, electrochemical storages, and combined heat and power plants, to private households, office buildings, public swimming pools, heat pumps, compression refrigerating systems, charging devices for electrical vehicles, and industrial consumers.    ADVANTAGE - The energy network is designed such that distribution of the energy in the energy network takes place based on the phase-specific monetary transactions, which are negotiated between the agents, thus preventing occurrence of phase asymmetries, and achieving energy distribution based on energy requirement, generatable energy, and mechanisms of a free market. The network is designed such that any change in power output or power input requires trading acts, thus avoiding occurrence of large balance errors.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for distributing energy in an energy network.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a decentralized energy network.
