    Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of technical units as a pool on an electric distribution network. A central controller is used to receive flexibility data from each technical unit. The flexibility data is used by the unit to indicate a power interval within which the electric power of the unit is allowed to vary or varies in an expected manner. Depending on a specified optimization target of the pool, an individual non-binding stimulus function is ascertained for each unit from the flexibility data of each unit and is provided to the respective unit. In response to the individual stimulus function, a respective schedule which describes a time curve of the power exchange planned according to a local optimization target of the unit is then received from each unit, and an overall schedule for the pool is generated from the schedules of the units.

    Abstract: A method for controlling at least one controllable system component in an electrical installation, where the installation is connected to an electrical supply network via a network connection. A measurement value of a performance from the supply network is detected for each individual successive time interval, and if one of the measurement values is larger than a predetermined threshold value, the performance is guided below the threshold value by switching electrical compensation power. The measurement value of the current time interval is predicted as a forecast value using a control device at at least one time within the current time interval in question by using forecast data to add a future course of the performance extending to the end of the time interval, and thereby deciding during the time interval how much compensation power is necessary.

    Abstract: A method for aggregating operating values of a plurality of spatially distributed operating units, wherein aggregation times are predefined and the operating values of each operating unit describe an operating variable at each of the respective aggregation times, and a respective aggregation value is generated from time-synchronized operating values of the operating units for the aggregation. Respective raw values are received for each of the operating units, which describe the operating variable at a respective detection time, and the operating values of at least one of the operating units are formed based on the raw values thereof. For each of the aggregation times, and based on a predetermined checking function, a respective operating value is sought which fulfills a synchronization criterion and a plausibility criterion. If an operating value of this type is found it is used, and if no such operating value is found, a detection gap is signaled.

    Abstract: A method for operating a system for supplying a vehicle with electrical energy, wherein the system has a charging station, an energy management unit and a translation unit. The translation unit has a first communications interface for communicating with the energy management unit, and a second communications interface which can be coupled for communication with the vehicle. In the event that the vehicle is coupled with the second communications interface, the system provides a minimum power parameter representative of a minimum electrical power that is to be supplied to the vehicle. A first evaluation matrix is provided to the translation unit via the first communications interface, which includes a first evaluation parameter for each future first time period and for each first power stage of electrical power to be supplied via the system. The evaluation parameter is representative of an output associated with a supply of the respective electrical power for each first time period. Depending on the minimum power parameter and the first evaluation matrix, a second evaluation matrix is determined by the translation unit, which is representative of an estimation of the output. The second evaluation matrix is provided to the vehicle via the second communications interface.

    Abstract: A system includes a vehicle and an induction charging unit, where the induction charging unit includes a primary coil and the vehicle includes a secondary coil. During a charging operation in a charging position, electric power is inductively transmissible from the primary coil to the secondary coil, in the charging position, the secondary coil being situated in a preferred spatial position area with respect to the primary coil, such that, for setting the charging position, by means of electromagnetic distance and angle measuring, by triangulation, the system detects a location position which describes a time-dependent spatial position of the secondary coil with respect to the primary coil. Moreover, by means of the location position and the charging position, the system detects at least a partial travel trajectory, along which the location position of the charging position can be approximated.
