  • Method for operating a transmission system and transmission system in an energy supply network
    Publication number: 20050089029
    Abstract: At least one centralized transmission facility is connected via the power supply lines of the power supply network to the decentralized transmission facilities with a decentralized repeater function being appropriately positioned in the power supply network in the event of there being insufficient transmission range of the centralized to the decentralized transmission facilities. According to the invention, part of the decentralized transmission facilities are additionally fitted with repeater functions in such a way that they can be configured via the centralized transmission facility as a decentralized transmission facility and/or as a decentralized transmission facility with a repeater function. In this way, if centralized transmission facilities cannot be reached, an alternative path is determined and the transmission system is automatically reconfigured.
