  • Publication number: 20220405437
    Abstract: A method for modeling a network topology of a subarea of a low-voltage network, wherein the network topology of the subarea of the low-voltage network is dynamically changeable by switching on, over and/or off components and/or by adding or removing components, where the network topology is modeled as a graph with nodes and edges, states valid for all edges of the graph at an initialization time are determined and assigned to the edges as the respective first state instance, with each subsequent change to the network topology, the respective current states valid for the respective edge from a time of the change to the network topology are determined for the edges of the graph, and each edge of the graph is assigned the respective state determined and currently valid from the time of the respective change to the network topology as a respective further state instance together with a timestamp.

  • Patent number: 10312683
    Abstract: A method for network regulation on threshold value overshoots in a low voltage or medium voltage network, wherein control commands are transmitted from a central regulator of the low or medium voltage network to controllable components of the low voltage or medium voltage network, where information is continuously transmitted from each of the controllable components to the central regulator regarding their emergency reserves for reducing threshold value overshoots, upon a threshold value overshoot, the central regulator calculates the necessary correction and transmits a suitable action instruction to at least one controllable component, with each action instruction, a probability factor is also transmitted which is incrementally raised if, given an insufficient reaction of the controllable components, the threshold value overshoot is not prevented and thus an action instruction must be transmitted anew, and the central regulator informs the network operator if the emergency reserves of the controllable compo

  • Patent number: 10303142
    Abstract: A method for network regulation upon threshold value overshoots in a low voltage or medium voltage network, wherein control commands are transmitted from a central regulation unit of the low or medium voltage network to controllable components of the low voltage or medium voltage network, where upon occurrence of the threshold value overshoot, the central regulation unit calculates the necessary correction and transmits a suitable action instruction to at least one controllable component, with each action instruction, a probability factor is also transmitted which is incrementally raised if, given an insufficient reaction of the controllable components, the threshold value overshoot is not prevented and thus an action instruction must be transmitted anew, and the central regulation unit informs the network operator if the emergency reserves of the controllable components are insufficient to prevent the threshold value overshoot.
