    摘要: A method for operating a first energy generator in an electric power supply system to which a plurality of electric consumers and at least the first energy generator, which is embodied as a regenerative energy generator, are connected via respectively one grid connection point each assigned thereto, wherein at least the first energy generator has an inverter of predetermined power rating, the AC voltage output is electrically connected to a first grid connection point assigned thereto, and wherein the operating control of the inverter regarding its reactive power feed and/or its reactive power draw into or out of the electric power supply system takes place depending on a continuously measured mains voltage value. The reactive power control in the energy grid is improved in that the mains voltage value is measured at a second grid connection point, which is different from the first grid connection point of the energy generator.

    摘要: A method and a controller for power state control of a device that is connected to two or more other devices are described. Also described are a method and a controller for configuring the power state control. Power states of related devices among the two or more other devices are monitored. In case all related devices among the two or more other devices are in a low power mode, the device is switched to a low power mode. Alternatively, in case all related devices among the two or more other devices are in a low power mode, the device is switched to a normal power mode. Which of the other devices are related devices is determined in a configuration procedure.

    摘要: The detailed description described embodiments of highly efficient power management systems configurable to simultaneously generate various output voltage levels for different components, sub-assemblies, and devices of electronic devices, sub-systems, and systems. In particular, the described embodiments include power management systems that substantially reduce or eliminate the need for inductors, large numbers of capacitors, and complex switching techniques to transform an available voltage level from a system power source, such as a battery, to more desirable power supply voltages. Some described embodiments include a charge pump that uses only two flying capacitors to simultaneously generate multiple supply outputs, where each of the multiple supply outputs may provide either the same or a different output voltage level. The described embodiments also include efficient power management systems that flexibly provide highly accurate voltage levels that are substantially insensitive to the voltage level provided by a system power source, such as a battery.
