Abstract

A method for designing a battery storage at a connection point of a load to an energy supply network. In the method, at least two different load types are determined. A load profile of the load before a connection and an operation of the battery storage is recorded. The load profile is evaluated and the load is assigned to one of the load types depending on the evaluation. The battery storage is designed so that the load is assigned to a different load type after the battery storage has been connected and operated.

The nominal frequency is influenced by a power input, a power output, a rotational speed, a torque, a modulation angle, and/or a phase angle of components included in the power network. Harmonic information indicative of one or more harmonic levels is determined from the components of the power network or from one or more network nodes. The harmonic information is determined based on the network topology information. Evaluation information indicative of an occurrence of one or more resonances and/or harmonic level increases in the power network is determined. The evaluation information is determined based on the determined harmonic information. The determined evaluation information is output.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming a connection (3, 20) between two tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22) of different widths, preferably of a tower-like structure, in particular a wind turbine. In order to be able to interconnect tubular segments of different widths more simply, more reliably and more economically, according to the invention: an end of the further tubular segment (1, 31) is pushed in part over an end of the narrower tubular segment (2, 32); the tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22) are positioned at a distance from each other, forming an annular gap (5, 27) between the tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22); a separating layer (4, 14) extending in the longitudinal direction (L) of the tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22) and/or in the radial direction (R) is provided in the annular gap (5, 27) between the two tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22); the annular gap (5, 27) adjacent to the separating layer (4, 14) and on at least one side of the separating layer (4, 14) is at least partly filled with a casting compound (9, 30); as the casting compound (9, 30) hardens, the casting compound (9, 30) on one side of the separating layer (4, 14) makes a firm connection (3, 20) only with one of the tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22) and/or the casting compound (9, 30) on the other side of the casting compound (9, 30) makes a firm connection only with the other tubular segment (1, 2, 21, 22); and, after the casting compound (9, 30) has hardened, the tubular segments (1, 2, 21, 22) having the associated, separate connecting elements (10, 11, 21, 22), formed in particular by the hardened casting compound (9, 30), are separated from one another again along the separating layer (4, 14).

The foundation also includes a power generation system arranged above the water surface connected to the connecting portion of the tower. A natural frequency of the offshore structure lies below an excitation component one times the rotational frequency 1P of at least one exciting component. The foundation also includes at least one restoring element connected to the tower via one or more transition pieces. The restoring element is designed such that, in a skewed position of the tower, tensile and/or compressive forces can be transferred to the tower by means of the restoring element such that the tower can be straightened up.

Abstract

A method performed in which a forecast, a generation information, and a regulation information are obtained. A control information is determined in the event that the regulation information is indicative of over- or underproduction. The control information is indicative of a control of the amount of electrical energy generated by power generating plants. The control information is determined based on the obtained regulation and generation information. Based on the time at which the regulation information is obtained, the remaining time of a predetermined interval is determined. Operating points for the plants are determined such that, for the remaining time, the amount of energy generated by the plants for the predetermined interval saves or generates at least one determined difference between the amount of energy generated according to the forecast and generation information. The operating points are based on the control information. The determined control information is output.

Abstract

A method for detecting profiles of charging currents for electric vehicles at charging stations, said method comprising the following steps: detecting a profile of a charging current at a charging station; storing the profile of the charging current together with a vehicle identification of the vehicle being charged. The method is characterised in that, for each vehicle identification, a profile of the charging current is stored at a plurality of charging stations, and in that for a vehicle identification a present profile of the charging current is compared with the stored profiles of the charging current at the plurality of charging stations, and a signal is output in the event of a deviation of the present profile of the charging current from the stored profiles of the charging current at the plurality of charging stations that is greater than a limit value.
