  • Patent number: 11171492
    Abstract: A method of distributing electrical power in an electricity grid comprising an electrical distributor circuit having at least three terminals, wherein sources and sinks for electrical energy can be connected to the terminals, and wherein the three terminals are electrically connected together in such a way that an electric current can flow from each of the terminals to each of the other terminals. Each of the terminals has a respective power controller which is so adapted that in operation of the power distributor the electric power P(t) flowing by way of the respective terminal can be adjusted in dependence on time t. The control means is connected to each of the power controllers, and it calculates the electric power P(t) flowing by way of each of the terminals in dependence on the data received from the sources or sinks.

  • Publication number: 20160252922
    Abstract: A method for the directional transmission of electrical energy in an electricity grid and to a method for transmitting electrical energy via an electricity grid having at least at least one generator for electrical energy, at least one network node, and at least one consumer. A method and a system are provided for transmitting electrical energy, which method and system are highly flexible and make it possible to design the energy distribution in a grid dynamically so as to deal with even short-term fluctuations both on the supply side and on the demand side.

  • Patent number: 8296368
    Abstract: A method of and a program for providing coherence between instances of data objects residing on distributed nodes of a non-memory-coupled network. To provide a method of and a program for providing coherence in accordance with the features set forth in the opening part of this specification, which allows coherence between, in principle, any data objects or instances of data objects, in that respect is substantially freely scalable and also does not require a central memory or server for the data objects. In accordance with embodiments of the invention, for each instance of a data object that is processed by a node, platform-independent unique metadata are generated and by means of the metadata and a coherence protocol which operates on that metadata, the metadata and thus the data objects are kept coherent.
