  • Publication number: 20230198266
    Abstract: An installation for the supply of electricity to a subordinate network area is disclosed having a first connection to a superordinate network area which can be selectively established and disconnected by a disconnecting switch, a second connection to the subordinate network area, a high-voltage storage battery with charging electronics, a first conditioning device with an inverter for conditioning electrical energy from the high-voltage storage battery, a high-voltage distributor which is conductively connected to the high-voltage storage battery and the first conditioning device for the exchange of electrical energy, a synchronization controller coupled to a measuring probe in the superordinate network area for receiving measuring signals, and a controller for controlling at least the disconnecting switch, the high-voltage distributor and the first processing device. The first conditioning device can be controlled on the basis of the measurement signals received from the measuring probe.

  • Patent number: 11354457
    Abstract: In a method for structuring an existing grid (11) for distributing electric energy, wherein the grid (11) comprises, as grid components, at least sources, loads, lines, sensor, switching and converter components which are connected to one another in a starting topology, on the basis of property variables of the grid components and predefinable regulation limits, the grid components are combined in a plurality of local, self-regulating functional groups (30.1, 30.2, 30.3). Each local functional group (30.1, 30.2, 30.3) is assigned regulation processes comprising actions which are carried out upon reaching trigger criteria for complying with the regulation limits. Starting from an existing grid for distributing electric energy, the method results in a grid which is newly structured in terms of the regulation and, as far as possible, dispenses with a hierarchical structure with respect to the regulation and instead is constructed from local functional groups (30.1, 30.2, 30.
