Publication number: 20240003474Abstract: 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.

Publication number: 20230184361Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: Fränkische Industrial Pipes GMBH & CO.

Publication number: 20230167802Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Georg Grosseholz, Sören Schröter, Kai Kruppa, Simon De Rijcke
