Abstract: A method for aggregating operating values of a plurality of spatially distributed operating units, wherein aggregation times are predefined and the operating values of each operating unit describe an operating variable at each of the respective aggregation times, and a respective aggregation value is generated from time-synchronized operating values of the operating units for the aggregation. Respective raw values are received for each of the operating units, which describe the operating variable at a respective detection time, and the operating values of at least one of the operating units are formed based on the raw values thereof. For each of the aggregation times, and based on a predetermined checking function, a respective operating value is sought which fulfills a synchronization criterion and a plausibility criterion. If an operating value of this type is found it is used, and if no such operating value is found, a detection gap is signaled.
