  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE SUITABILITY OF A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS WHICH ARE OPERATED IN A NETWORK AS A VIRTUAL POWER PLANT FOR SUPPLYING CONTROL POWER
    Publication number: 20170149246
    Abstract: According to the invention, a system for the up-to-date determination of the suitability of technical units of a virtual power plant for supplying positive or negative control power, which are spatially distributed as a virtual power plant to generate and/or store and/or consume electrical energy, and which are connected to a power supply network for the purpose of supplying and/or removing electrical energy, and which are connected via a communication link to a control center for the purpose of controlling their operation, is characterized by a state signal generator at each of the technical units, which is configured to send, to the control center, in a regular time cycle and/or upon every state change in the respective technical unit, a state signal which signals the state change and/or contains information on the present state of the technical unit, and by a computer in the control center which is configured to compare, according to the state signals and at least one scoring criterion, at least two of

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE POWER OF A PLURALITY OF ELECTRICAL PRODUCERS AND CONSUMERS WHICH ARE OPERATED IN A NETWORK AS A VIRTUAL POWER PLANT
    Publication number: 20170131331
    Abstract: A system and corresponding method, in order to determine in a real-time manner the power of a plurality of decentralized technical units, which—are spatially distributed in order to generate and/or store and/or consume electrical energy and which—are connected to a power supply network in order to feed in and/or draw electrical energy and which—are connected to a control center by means of a communication connection in order to control the operation of the technical units, is characterized by—a data memory in the control center, which data memory is designed store a power value or a plurality of different power values for each of the technical units, and by—a trigger signal transmitter for each of the technical units, which is designed, in the case of each state change of the technical unit in question between the power value and zero or between the power value and another of the power values, to send a trigger signal, which signals the state change, to the control center, and by—a computer in the control cen
