1. A method for controlling, by at least a control device, at least one electrical installation, wherein the at least one electrical installation comprises at least one electrical energy source, at least one electrical energy sink, or a combination thereof, and the at least one electrical installation is coupled to a power grid, the method, executed by the control device, comprising:
setting an upward flexibility for a future period of time, wherein the future period of time is defined by a start time and a specified duration, wherein the upward flexibility comprises at least one of a forecast maximum feed-in power increase and a forecast maximum feed-out power decrease;
setting a downward flexibility for the future period of time, wherein the downward flexibility comprises at least one of a forecast maximum feed-out power increase and a forecast maximum feed-in power decrease;
setting a selling threshold price for the future period of time;
setting a purchasing threshold price for the future period of time; and
completing at least one electricity trading transaction for the future period of time, wherein the at least one electricity trading transaction comprises a base value, a base amount, a base price, a date on or by which the at least one electricity trading transaction is to be carried out, and an obligation for physical fulfillment during this period of time, wherein:
the base value comprising a positive or negative on-demand power;
the date of said electricity trading transaction being said start time of said future period of time;
the physical fulfillment comprising a delivery of the base value in an amount of the base amount;
in a case of positive on-demand power, the at least one electricity trading transaction provides ALp≤Fo and BPp≥Pv, wherein ALp is the base amount of positive on-demand power, Fo is the upward flexibility, BPp is the base price of the positive on-demand power, and Pv is the selling threshold price;
in a case of negative on-demand power, the at least one electricity trading transaction provides ALn≤Fu and BPn≤Pe, wherein ALn is the base amount of negative on-demand power, Fu is the downward flexibility, BPn is the base price of the negative on-demand power, and Pe is the purchasing threshold price; and
on or by said date of said electricity trading transaction the at least one electrical installation is controlled and configured to deliver the base value in the amount of the base amount during the period of time.
