Abstract: A synchronization of sensor data, as can be used, for example, for testing a downstream processing of the sensor data. Three operating modes are provided for this purpose. In one operating mode, real sensor data are received from an environment sensor and forwarded for subsequent processing according to the timing with which the sensor data are provided. In a further operating mode, previously stored sensor data are forwarded according to a timing with which the sensor data are provided. Furthermore, a third operating mode is provided in which previously stored sensor data are forwarded with a timing that corresponds to the timing of further data that are simultaneously provided by an environment sensor.

Abstract: A model-based method for designing an oscillation damping device and an installation having such an oscillation damping device are provided. Oscillation damping devices for turbogenerators in gas and/or steam power plants serve the purpose of reducing power oscillations which occur. Such a device can be designed on the basis of a model. A physical linear model is used and a differentiating effect is taken into account when designing for improving a damping response, thus ensuring that an output signal of the oscillation damping device is zero in a steady state.
