FIELD: electrical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: system for supplying users with electrical energy includes server node (100), a plurality of power nodes (131, 132, 13n) and a plurality of mobile terminals (180). One or more communication networks (120) connects server node (100) to power nodes (131, 132, 13n). Each power node (131, 132, 13n) receives electrical energy from an external source of electrical energy and provides an output electrical energy via a remotely controlled outlet. Each mobile terminal (180) communicates with server node (100) via wireless interface (185). Power nodes (131, 132, 13n) periodically send corresponding instruction requests (IN-INQ1, IN-INQ2, IN-INQn) to server node (100). Server node (100) receives activation requests (ACT-REQ1) from mobile terminals (180). Each activation request (ACT-REQ1) indicates specific socket (141) and user ID (IDU) of the mobile terminal. In response to the activation request (ACT-REQ1), server node (100) checks whether user ID (IDU) is authorized to activate said socket (141), and if this is so; in response to the request for instructions (IN-INQ1) from first power node (131) connected to socket (141), sends an activation confirmation (ACT-ACC1) to first power node (131), providing electric power outlet (141).
EFFECT: increased efficiency for suppliers and consumers of electricity delivery to distribution locations.
