  • Publication number: 20150227121
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling and/or regulating a technical system, in which actions to be carried out on the technical system are first of all determined using an action selection rule which was determined through the learning of a data-driven model and, in particular, a neural network. On the basis of these actions a numerical optimization searches for actions which are better than the original actions according to an optimization criterion. If such actions are found, the technical system is regulated or controlled on the basis of these new actions, such that the corresponding actions are applied to the technical system in succession. The method is suitable, in particular, for regulating or controlling a gas turbine, wherein the actions are preferably optimized with respect to the criterion of low pollutant emission or low combustion chamber humming.

  • Publication number: 20150115967
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch, in particular a rocker switch, comprising a contact system and comprising a movable actuating element for switching over the contact system between two switch positions, in particular an on position and an off position. The switch has a drivable actuator, which is operatively connected to the actuating element in such a way that the actuating element in at least one of the two switch positions is moved, on driving of the actuator, into the other switch position by the actuator for switching the contact system. In particular, the actuating element is moved by the actuator from the on position to the off position of the contact system.

  • Publication number: 20140100703
    Abstract: A method for the computer-supported generation of a data-driven model of a technical system, in particular of a gas turbine or wind turbine, based on training data is disclosed. The data-driven model is preferably learned in regions of training data having a low data density. According to the invention, it is thus ensured that the data-driven model is generated for information-relevant regions of the training data. The data-driven model generated is used in a particularly preferred embodiment for calculating a suitable control and/or regulation model or monitoring model for the technical system. By determining optimization criteria, such as low pollutant emissions or low combustion dynamics of a gas turbine, the service life of the technical system in operation can be extended. The data model generated by the method according to the invention can furthermore be determined quickly and using low computing resources, since not all training data is used for learning the data-driven model.
