Publication number: 20170278025Abstract: An energy management method is provided for detecting an energy consumption of at least one consumer connected to an energy supply network, wherein relevant detection values of each energy consumption are detected by a plurality of detection devices and/or calculated from detected values. A switching device is respectively assigned to at least one of the detection devices and/or at least one group of the detection devices. The detection values detected and/or calculated by the detection device and/or the group of detection devices are each provided to the switching device according to a predefined detection device protocol for the detection device and/or the group of detection devices. The respective energy values are transmitted to a central device via a network which connects the central device to all switching devices, according to a predefined central device protocol which differs from the detection device protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2015Publication date: September 28, 2017Inventors: Dominic Buchstaller, Nader Halmuschi, Frank Jungnickel, Johannes Reinschke, Jochen Ziegner

Patent number: 9627890Abstract: A circuit arrangement has a bidirectional AC/DC converter connected to a first side of a DC/DC converter at a DC side of the AC/DC converter via first electric switch. The AC/DC converter is connected to a second side of the DC/DC converter at the DC side of the AC/DC converter via a second electric switch. The first side of the DC/DC converter is connected to a third electric switch and can be connected to an energy storing device via said switch. The second side of the DC/DC converter is connected to a fourth electric switch and can be connected to an energy generating device via said switch. The AC/DC converter can be connected to the electric supply grid at the AC side of the AC/DC converter. A control device controls the switches and the converters.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2012Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGELLSCHAFTInventors: Dominic Buchstaller, Johannes Reinschke
