  • Patent number: 12283812
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for monitoring an electricity supply grid, wherein the electricity supply grid has a grid frequency and a grid topology with a plurality of grid nodes, a plurality of converter-controlled infeed units are each connected to the electricity supply grid via a grid connection point, and the grid connection points are distributed over the grid topology, comprising the steps of acquiring in each case at least one node voltage at the grid connection point or at a grid node, assigned to the grid connection point, of the plurality of grid nodes, such that a plurality of node voltages are acquired, wherein each grid connection point or grid node is assigned a location in the grid topology, which is referred to as node location, and the acquired node voltage is characterized by a node phase angle as phase angle of the node voltage, assigning an associated node location to each node voltage, and ascertaining grid statuses distributed over the grid topology from the acquired node voltage

  • Patent number: 12252028
    Abstract: A method for planning a power exchange between a charging infrastructure and an electricity supply grid. The infrastructure has a plurality of terminals for connecting and charging electric vehicles such that the electric vehicles can exchange power with the grid via the terminals. Each electric vehicle has an electrical storage unit with a variable individual state of charge for drawing and outputting power, and all of the storage units connected to the infrastructure form an overall storage unit of the infrastructure, which overall storage unit is characterized by a total storage capacity and a total state of charge that are variable. The prediction of arrival times of the vehicles at the terminals thereof is created, and a total state of charge prediction is created for a prediction period depending on the prediction of the arrival times, wherein the total state of charge prediction is created as a time profile.

  • Patent number: 12140119
    Abstract: A method for feeding electric power into an electric supply network using a wind park having wind power installations is provided. An expected power is determined for a predetermined feed-in period, where the expected power indicates a power value or temporal profile of power expected to be available to the park as power from wind in the predetermined feed-in period. An expected accuracy is determined and is a measure of how accurately the power reaches the expected power in the feed-in period. To determine the expected power, at least one expected wind variable representative of the expected wind speed is determined using a weather forecast, and the expected wind variable is additionally determined or verified, proceeding from the weather forecast, using a correction rule based on local weather data and/or operating data of the park. The expected power is determined on the basis of the expected wind variable.

  • Publication number: 20240229766
    Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine for generating a settable turbine power, where the wind turbine includes a rotor having rotor blades adjustable in their blade angle, is operable at a settable rotor speed, and is installed at an installation site at a distance to an obstacle, comprises the obstacle causing a wind disturbance, which, in dependence on current wind direction and wind velocity, can reach the wind turbine as a wind wake, and the wind turbine reducing its turbine operation by throttling down for protection against loads due to the wind wake, wherein the throttling down is controlled in dependence on the current wind direction and the current wind velocity, wherein a weather prediction is used in order to take into consideration at least one further weather property in addition to the wind direction and wind velocity, and wherein the throttling down is additionally controlled in dependence on the weather prediction, in particular on the further weather property.
