  • Patent number: 9482709
    Abstract: A method for assigning individual phase conductors at a first point to those at at least one further point in a polyphase energy distribution network, in particular in a three-phase network. In the case of mains operation, wherein a common reference time is determined for these points, and the time difference and/or phase difference of the phase voltage or the line-to-line voltage between the reference time of a zero crossing of the phase voltage are determined for these points. By a comparison of the time and/or phase differences at two different points the phase conductor of one point is assigned to a phase conductor of the further point which has the same to time and/or phase difference with respect to the common reference time. An additional loading of the energy supply network or an interruption of the mains operation is avoided by the method.

  • Publication number: 20140032009
    Abstract: A method controls the power generation of at least one power output device. A control device that is associated with the power output device is connected via a unidirectional or bidirectional communication link to a central device that monitors a power distribution system. Regular or irregular checks on whether the communication link is interrupted or the transmission quality of the communication link is below a prescribed minimum quality value are performed. The supply of power from the at least one power output device to the power distribution system is reduced or stopped by the control device if the communication link is interrupted or the transmission quality of the communication link is below the prescribed minimum quality value.
