    摘要: A system for managing the load profile of an electric network is provided. The system includes: a plurality of loads, and each respective load of the plurality of loads is assigned a priority, an energy storage system, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a predicted energy usage of the electric network at an end of a time period, based on comparing the predicted energy usage to a target energy usage, determine an adjustment of the plurality of loads based on the respective priority of each respective load. Based on the adjustment of the plurality of loads and a charge of the energy storage system, the controller dynamically assigns a priority to the energy storage system, and performs the adjustment of the plurality of loads and the energy storage system using the respective priority of each respective load and the dynamically assigned priority of the energy storage system.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a method for allocating electrical energy within an electrolysis plant for producing oxygen and hydrogen. The electrolysis plant comprises a system control device and at least two management apparatuses. Each management apparatus comprises at least one management control device and at least two electrolysis devices. The allocation method comprises method steps and method sequences by means of which the electrolysis process can be particularly advantageously controlled. Thus, a particularly flexible design of the electrolysis process can be implemented, while at the same time high efficiency and an extended service life of the individual components of the electrolysis plant are achieved. The flexible design of the electrolysis process is reflected especially in an expanded range of application of the electrolysis plant.

    摘要: A fault-responsive power system and method using active line current balancing. First and second supply-side currents flowing from at least one power supply and into first and second conductor pairs, respectively, are measured. First and second remote-side currents flowing from the first and second conductor pairs and into first and second power converters, respectively, are measured. The outputs of the first and second power converters are electrically coupled together in parallel and deliver power to a load. The first and second remote-side currents are balanced in response to measurements of the first and second remote-side currents while power is being delivered. When a difference between the first and second supply-side currents at least meets a magnitude threshold, the first and second supply-side currents are reduced until the difference is less than the magnitude threshold.

    摘要: A circuit arrangement for controlling a plurality of loads of an electrical appliance has a main control module, arranged in a first voltage range and configured to generate control data for controlling a plurality of loads, which are arranged in a second voltage range. A galvanic isolation unit transfers the control data via a galvanically isolated connection from the first voltage range to the second voltage range. At least one auxiliary control module has a plurality of control outputs for the loads and an LED driver for operating a corresponding plurality of LED arrangements via the of control outputs, and/or a general-purpose input/output expansion circuit with programmable control outputs. Based on the control data, the auxiliary control module identifies a first control output for controlling the first load and causes the first load to be controlled via the first control output.
