Abstract: The present invention relates to an alcohol acyl transferase which is capable of esterifying a tertiary monoterpene alcohol such that at least 30% by mass of said tertiary monoterpene alcohol is esterified, preferably within 36 h, 24 h, 18 h, 12 h, 6 h, 3 h, 2 h, 1 h, 45 min or 30 min, more preferably in a microbial cell. The invention further relates to a nucleic acid comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding the alcohol acyl transferase of the invention, or a complementary sequence thereof, and a vector or gene construct comprising the nucleic acid of the invention. Further provided by the present invention is a host cell comprising the vector or gene construct of the invention, and a transgenic non-human organism comprising the nucleic acid of the invention, the vector or gene construct of the invention, or the host cell of the invention.

Abstract: Method for controlling a technical system including a power grid, connected to at least one energy supply system. The method ensures that the consumption of electrical energy of the grid is within a given load curve by avoiding or compensating peak loads; including the steps of: a) providing data of the total load occurring in the grid to a load data processor; b) the processor processing said data and determining curves of a plurality of load components of the total load; c) determining future load curves for each component for a time period ahead; d) superimposing the future load curves and determining a future total load curve for the future total load and future peak loads; and e) controlling the technical and/or energy supply systems based on the determined future total load curve to avoid exceeding given load limits and future peak loads or allocate energy required in the future.
