Abstract: In various embodiments, a process for configuring or commissioning a solar power system includes receiving, at a controller, hardware identifiers of a plurality of power electronics modules to be configured. Each of the plurality of power electronics modules of at least a portion of the plurality of power electronics modules is associated with a corresponding photovoltaic panel. A hub is configured to wirelessly communicate with the plurality of power electronics modules. The controller is physically connected to the hub and communicates with the hub via wiring that also carries power from photovoltaic panels to an inverter. The process includes configuring, by the controller, the plurality of power electronics modules using the received hardware identifiers.

Abstract: A wind power installation with a rotor which has two or more rotor blades and which is rotatably bearing-supported for rotation around a rotor rotation axis. The rotor is connected to a generator for generating electrical power. The rotor and the generator form a part of a turbine which is received by a turbine carrier. The turbine carrier is rotatably arranged at a supporting structure. The turbine is movably mounted in the turbine carrier via a bearing device so that the spatial position of the turbine in the turbine carrier can be modified. A pivoting range of the turbine corresponding to a pivoting range of the rotor rotation axis includes a first angle range and a second angle range relative to a reference plane, and the entire pivoting range is at least 120°.

Abstract: A mounting device is provided for oscillatingly mounting a range extender, which consists of an internal combustion engine and a generator, on a body and/or a chassis of a motor vehicle by way of vibration-damping elements. At least two of the vibration-damping elements are integrated in load-carrying bearings and one additional one is integrated in a supporting bearing for supporting moments. The mounting device is characterized in that the vibration-damping elements of the mounting device at least for the load-carrying bearings are secured to the range extender, i.e. a first vibration-damping element is secured to the internal combustion engine and a second vibration-damping element is secured to the generator.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a wind power installation (1) with a rotor (4) which has two or possibly more rotor blades (5) and which is rotatably bearing-supported for rotation around a rotor rotation axis (2). The rotor is connected to a generator for generating electrical power, and the rotor and the generator form a part of a turbine (T) which is received by a turbine carrier (3; 40), and the turbine carrier is rotatably arranged at a supporting structure (7). The turbine is movably mounted in the turbine carrier by means of a bearing device so that the spatial position of the turbine (T) in the turbine carrier can be modified, and a pivoting range of the turbine (T) corresponding to a pivoting range of the rotor rotation axis includes a first angle range and a second angle range relative to a reference plane, and the entire pivoting range is at least 120°.
