  • Patent number: 12480473
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electricity distribution grid having a nominal grid voltage, in particular in a critical grid situation, wherein a grid control center is provided for controlling the electricity distribution grid and the electricity distribution grid has at least one control region that comprises a plurality of mutually geographically separate wind farms, comprising the steps of: querying power outputs available from the wind farms, in particular on the basis of a weather forecast; defining a control node within the control region, in particular on the basis of the queried available power out-puts, preferably performed by the grid operator; combining a number of wind farms at the calculated control node to form a wind power plant on the basis of the queried available power outputs and/or a probability distribution of the available power output; controlling the wind power plant, in particular through the grid control center, by way of a wind power plant control unit, such that a required voltage qu

  • Patent number: 11192465
    Abstract: A method for operating a charging station for charging a plurality of electric vehicles, in particular electric automobiles, wherein the charging station is connected to an electricity supply grid at a grid connection point in order thereby to be supplied with electrical energy from the electricity supply grid, the grid connection point is arranged on a first grid section of the supply grid and at least one further electrical consumer is connected to at least one second grid section of the supply grid, the first and the second grid section are connected to one another, the at least one further consumer and/or the at least one second grid section are able to be influenced by the charging station, the charging station is controlled such that a grid voltage in at least one of the grid sections is controlled, and/or a power flow at least in the at least one second grid section is controlled.
