Abstract: A method for operating a service provision network includes: providing the service provision network includes a first service provision device with a predeterminable performance and a second service provision device with a non-predeterminable performance; determining an operating plan for operating the network via a prediction horizon, depending on a load prediction of a load demand to the network and a performance prediction for the second service provision device for the prediction horizon, which is a respectively same predetermined prediction horizon; determining the operating plan depending on a load confidence interval of the load prediction and on a performance confidence interval of the performance prediction, such that, at any point in time within the prediction horizon, a current performance prediction for the network is at least as great as a current upper limit of the load confidence interval; and operating then the service provision network according to the operating plan.

Abstract: A method for operating a power delivery network, including: detecting a load demand on the power delivery network; detecting a first power delivery information by a first power delivery device and a second power delivery information by a power delivery group; determining—based on a load demand, the first power delivery information, and the second power delivery information—a first load distribution by way of a nonlinear optimization, the first load distribution including a first partial load for the first power delivery device and a second partial load for the power delivery group; determining, by way of a mixed-integer linear optimization, a second load distribution through which the second partial load is distributed between second power delivery devices of the power delivery group; operating the power delivery network with the first load distribution; and operating the power delivery group with the second load distribution.

Abstract: A method of operating a service provision network, the method including the steps of: providing that the service provision network includes at least two service provision devices; splitting a load demand on the service provision network between the at least two service provision devices and a virtual service provision device to optimize a cost function, a load distribution being obtained; and operating the at least two service provision devices according to the load distribution obtained.
