Abstract: A unit for connecting a fluid line to a port of a superordinate assembly, comprising a base body comprising a connection piece at one axial end for connection to the fluid line and a receiving portion at another axial end. The unit comprises an insert element comprising a resilient material and at least one radially outwardly projecting protrusion. The insert element defines, in its interior, an axial central connection opening and is separate from and connectable to the base body. The at least one protrusion projects into a corresponding aperture formed in an area of the receiving portion. Each protrusion comprises a blocking flank extending outwardly in a substantially radial direction and facing the axial end of the base body opposite the connection piece. The blocking flank is configured to abut against a respective blocking protrusion on the base body in a receiving portion engaged state of the insert element.

Abstract: A high-pressure fluid line including a corrugated tube defining a fluid flow channel its interior, wherein a wall of the corrugated tube, in parallel with the extension direction of the fluid flow channel, comprises a sequence of wave peaks and wave troughs. The fluid line includes a braiding made of threads, which is applied to an outer periphery of the corrugated tube. The braiding bears tightly against the outer periphery of the corrugated tube at a substantially constant braiding angle over the entire corrugated tube. The braiding and the corrugated tube are connected at least at two mutually separate locations such that stretching of the corrugated tube in a longitudinal direction is accompanied by a reduction in a diameter of the braiding.

Abstract: A receiving unit of a coupling device for fluid lines, and the coupling device. The receiving unit comprises a closure element which fluidically seals the fluid flow channel in a closed position. The closure element is preloaded into the closed position using a spring element. The closure element comprises a perforation-free cylindrical portion. The entire spring element, in the release position of the closure element, is arranged within a region that is completely overlapped by the cylindrical portion along the entire longitudinal extent thereof, as viewed in a radial direction of the cylindrical portion.

Abstract: A connection unit for connecting fluid lines, including a plug-in unit connectable to a first fluid line not belonging to the connection unit, defining a first fluid flow channel in its interior, and a receiving unit connectable to a second fluid line not belonging to the connection unit, defining a second fluid flow channel in its interior. The plug-in unit and the receiving unit are connectable to establish a fluid connection between the first and second fluid flow channels. The connection unit also includes a release element transferrable from a holding state to a release state upon insertion of the plug-in unit into the receiving unit up to a predetermined depth, and an indicator element formed separately from the release element and locked by the release element in the holding state. The indicator element is detachable from the connection unit when the release element is in the release state.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a method for operating a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines and to a control system for a wind farm. The wind farm is connected to an electrical grid. The wind turbines are operated to supply electrical power to the electrical grid in accordance with at least one setpoint value for a power related electrical variable. In the event that an available reactive power of the wind farm is smaller than a setpoint for a reactive power to be supplied by the wind farm, a required increase of reactive power is determined for each wind turbine of the wind farm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connection unit for connecting fluid lines, wherein the connection unit comprises a first connection body and a second connection body, wherein the connection unit comprises a machine-readable code which is not detectable when the first connection body and the second connection body are in an unconnected state and which is detectable when the first connection body and the second connection body are in a connected state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plug-in connection for a first pipe and a second pipe and use thereof in a motor vehicle. A free end segment of the first pipe and a free end segment of the second pipe can be connected to each other. A retaining clip having two legs, which each bear a respective locking element, sits in a guide for the retaining clip, wherein the guide is formed on the free end segment of the first pipe. The retaining clip mounted in the guide interacts with the retaining region on the free end segment of the second pipe in a form-fitting and force-fitting manner by means of each of the locking elements.

Abstract: A joint unit is provided, including a main body, a bush, which is fastened to the main body in the axial direction and forms with the main body a receiving space intended to receive a connecting piece not forming part of the joint unit, and a retaining unit for interacting with the main body and the connecting piece. The bush and the retaining unit are formed together in one piece. A joint assembly is further provided, including a joint unit and a connecting piece.
