Abstract: A charging system (C-SYS) for charging at least one energy storage device (ESD) of a power grid (PG) according to a response curve (RC) indicating a power supplied by said energy storage device (ESD) to said power grid (PG) or absorbed by said energy storage device (ESD) from said power grid (PG) depending on at least one grid parameter of said power grid (PG), wherein in a dead band (DB) around a target value of said grid parameter a selected response curve (RC) is applied.

Abstract: A power system for providing a grid service to a power grid, said power system comprising: an energy resource controller (ERC) adapted to monitor a state of charge (SOC) of at least one energy storage device (ESD), wherein said energy resource controller (ERC) adjusts in a normal operation mode (NM) a power supplied by the energy storage device (ESD) to said power grid (PG) or a power received by the energy storage device (ESD) from said power grid (PG) in response to grid parameters or remotely generated control signals to stabilize said power grid (PG), wherein if the monitored state of charge (SOC) of said energy storage device (ESD) exceeds an upper state of charge limit (SOC-H) the energy resource controller (ERC) connects in a power absorption mode (PAM) a power absorbing load (PAL) to said power grid as long as the grid parameters or remotely generated control signals indicate that power is to be removed from said power grid (PG).

Abstract: An initialization method for a wireless network is disclosed with at least one receiver node and/or switching node and transmitter node in which one transmitter node is allocated to at least one receiver node. An operating method is also disclosed for a wireless network with at least one receiver node and/or switching node and transmitter node. At least one allocation is made between a transmitter node and a receiver node after such an initialization method with the steps of: transmission of a wireless message at the transmitter node, reception of the wireless message at one or more switching nodes, and if the switching node is not the receiver node, transmission of the wireless message at the switching node and reception of the message at the preset receiver node.

Abstract: Process for compensating a magnetic interference field in a vehicle having a navigation installation. During a calibration run for initial compensation, a first set of interference field parameters is determined from the measurements of the magnetic field probe (interference field vector V1, axes a, b of the elliptical locus curve E1, oblique position) and transformed onto points of a circular locus curve with the radius a about the origin (0); the distance from the origin (0) and the angle are calculated for each pair of measurements. The calculated radius values and the circularly transformed pairs of measurements (MP) are averaged and entered in their appropriate memory cell in a segmented memory for 360.degree. with a plurality of memory ceils (predetermined angular region). Variant 1: for each segment, the radius difference (.DELTA.
