Publication number: 20230307919Abstract: A method and device for controlling decentralized loads in an energy network, including at least two controllable loads, wherein the controllable loads are in particular energy consumers and/or energy storages and/or energy producers distributed over several buildings or building complexes. The loads are connected to a central energy supply by means of an energy supply line for providing power to the loads. In doing to, at least two controllable loads are provided. In the method, an inter-building load forecast is determined for several loads. In addition, an inter-building operational plan is created for at least two controllable loads on the basis of the inter-building load forecast. The controllable loads are driven on the basis of the inter-building operational plan and by means of the climate profiles of generated control data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Markus Werner, Jonas Blum, Stefan Hardt

Patent number: 11335500Abstract: The invention provides a method and a device for producing a winding element from a supplied wire, in particular from a round copper wire, said method and device allowing the economical and flexible production of a winding element which, when subsequently used in the field of electrical engineering as a coil or inductor fitted in a stator, ensures the highest possible groove filling factor. For this purpose, the wire is wound to a three-dimensional shape and the cross section of the wire is changed simultaneously, as a result of which separate method steps and therefore tool arrangements for three-dimensional winding of the wire as well as the change of the cross-section of the wire can advantageously be dispensed with.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: FRAUNHOFER-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÖRDERUNG DER ANGEWANDTEN FORSCHUNG E.V.Inventor: Markus Werner

Patent number: 10685313Abstract: Certain example embodiments described herein relate to defining relevant data for analysis and reporting for modeled processes and process-related data. In certain example embodiments, a normal (and potentially-non-expert) user can define a model, object, or a relation as “source” and “target” of interest. The user also may be able to make a question more concrete, e.g., by specifying stopovers, a number of steps that might be between the source and the target, etc. A net of different paths from the source to the target may be retrieved as result, representing all possible relations, including those that are implicit. Such information also can be selectively excluded from the net, e.g., if the user does not want to evaluate same. However, the user can be reasonably sure that all relevant data for analysis has been returned, even though the definition was made without consulting an expert.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: SOFTWARE AGInventors: Ralf Werner Munkes, Markus Werner, Stefan Ruschel
