Within one property
Crossing property border (direct line)
Distributed
• E.g. solar panel on top of a
block of flats
• Electricity that doesn't flow in
DSO grid should not be
charged
• Computational separation of
self-production in IT systems
• E.g. neighboring property has
better conditions for PV
• Allowing to build a direct line
from the production unit to
consumption crossing border
• E.g. consuming solar energy
produced in summer cottage
PV in the permanent house
• datahub facilitates
• Distribution fees and taxes
should be paid normally
