Abstract: A power supply system contains a plurality of power generating devices, a plurality of power consuming devices, and a controller. The controller controls the power supply system based on a rated consumption value indicating an anticipated power consumption of the power supply system and also based on a standby value indicating a standby power. The standby value indicates the standby power made available by the power supply system at which emergency measures can be avoided if the actual power consumption deviates from the rated consumption. The power supply system further has a preprocessing device for calculating a rated consumption value and a standby value at which an emergency measure-free operation can be attained with the required probability, based on consumption values recorded in the past and using a probability value defined on the user side which defines the probability of the emergency measure-free operation of the power supply system.

Abstract: A power supply system has a plurality of power generating devices and a plurality of power consuming devices. The power generating devices and the power consuming devices are interconnected by a power transmission network. At least one of the power generating devices or at least one of the power consuming devices has a control device which is suitable, in an event of a change of a network frequency of the power transmission network, to at least temporarily vary a power output or power consumption of the power generating device or the power consumption device by a power variation value which is proportional to the temporal change of the network frequency of the power transmission network.

Abstract: An industrial production method and corresponding production equipment is specified, wherein, for providing the resources and/or energy needed, a load variation y(t) with time is forecast in an automated manner starting with expected environmental and planned production parameters. In at least one embodiment of this process, a forecast for the load variation y(t) with time is generated by linear interpolation in a manner which is clear for the user from parameter sets (p0, p1, . . . pn) provided with rules (R0, R1, . . . Rn) for allocating a respective load curve (Y0(t), y1(t), . . . yn(t)) for an expected parameter set (z).
