A method for configuring a process control system includes coupling an I/O module to a PLC coupled to field devices. For each field device, the PLC has registers storing data of values associated with the field device. The PLC is configured such that each field device is associated with a PLC control tag, and each control tag is associated with tag parameters corresponding to the registers for the field device. The method includes configuring the I/O module to associate the tag parameters with corresponding controller parameters such that, for each control tag, there is a set of controller parameters associated with the tag parameters for the control tag. The method includes instantiating an integration object and associating the integration object with one of the control tags. The integration object configures itself, according to the set of controller parameters that is associated with the tag parameters for the control tag, as an analog input function block, a discrete input function block, an analog output function block, or a discrete output function block.

A station-building power supply device is provided in each station building and supplies low-voltage AC power to station building facilities of each station building. There are two mode therein: a regenerative mode in which, when regenerative power regenerated by a train to an overhead wire becomes surplus, the surplus regenerative power supplied from the overhead wire and power supplied from a high-voltage distribution line are used together to supply low-voltage AC power corresponding to an amount of normal power consumption of the station building; and a standby power supply mode in which, when a power outage of the high-voltage distribution line occurs, power supplied from the overhead wire is used to supply low-voltage AC power corresponding to an amount of emergency power of the station building.

A method of operating an electrical feeder permits the electrical feeder voltage to be maintained at the minimum voltage within a voltage range based upon dynamic grouping together of electrical generators on the electrical feeder with demand response loads on the electrical feeder. A method of assessing the proper operation of a voltage control device on the electrical feeder involves detecting a number of properties of the electrical power in the electrical feeder both prior to and subsequent to a change in an operational parameter of a voltage control device. An expected effect upon the electrical feeder of one or more distributed generators is filtered from this in order to determine a net effect of the voltage control device itself on the electrical feeder. Based upon the detected net effect and a predicted baseline effect for the voltage control device, it can be determined whether the voltage control device is functioning properly.

A method for operating an energy supply network, wherein energy generation is decentralized, the energy supply network has three supply levels, and energy is generated in each supply level and is fed into the particular supply level, where the three supply levels each form an independent control unit that is connectable or disconnectable via interfaces between the control units as needed, an operator region is associated with each of the control units, in which operator region an energy feed-in and an energy consumption for the respective associated control unit are combined and controlled, and where an exchange of energy amounts between the control units is then controlled, such as in a demand-oriented manner, by the respective operator areas via the interfaces between associated control units by the control of parameters defined between the control units, such that the entire energy supply network can be dynamically controlled in a simple manner.

A system and method for controlling power flow between power sources and a load in a power system are disclosed. Briefly described, one embodiment is a method for transferring power from a plurality of power sources to an AC system through an IPC module.
