Method and system for distributing and/or controlling an energy flow taking into account constraints relating to the electricity network

Method and system for distributing and/or controlling an energy flow to a cluster of a plurality of nodes (N1, N2,...) in an electricity network (1), wherein each node (N1, N2,...) has an associated status, taking into account constraints relating to the energy to be delivered to the nodes and taking into account constraints relating to the electricity network (1). The method comprising the steps of: i. allocating a local agent (A1, A2,...) to each node (N1, N2,...) of the cluster of a plurality of nodes, wherein the local agent receives a priority for energy to be delivered among the nodes (N1, N2,...); iii. allocating a regional concentrator agent (RCA1, RCA2) to the least one regional network (2, 3), wherein each regional network (2, 3) comprises at least a part of the cluster and wherein a total of the at least one regional network (2, 3) forms the electricity network (1); iv. receiving by the at least one regional concentrator agent (RCA1, RCA2), the priority for energy to be delivered among the nodes and determining an aggregate priority for energy to be delivered to the at least one regional network (2, 3), wherein said aggregate priority depends on voltage limitations of the electrical network (1).
