Abstract: A method performed in which a forecast, a generation information, and a regulation information are obtained. A control information is determined in the event that the regulation information is indicative of over- or underproduction. The control information is indicative of a control of the amount of electrical energy generated by power generating plants. The control information is determined based on the obtained regulation and generation information. Based on the time at which the regulation information is obtained, the remaining time of a predetermined interval is determined. Operating points for the plants are determined such that, for the remaining time, the amount of energy generated by the plants for the predetermined interval saves or generates at least one determined difference between the amount of energy generated according to the forecast and generation information. The operating points are based on the control information. The determined control information is output.

Abstract: A shift arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission has a multiplicity of gear stages. The shift arrangement has a shift shaft which is aligned in an axial direction and has a multiplicity of shift members which are designed to engage on shift sleeves which can be displaced axially in order to shift the gear stages. The shift shaft is mounted so as to be rotatable in order to select in each case one of the shift sleeves and so as to be axially displaceable in order to shift the gear stages. The shift members have in each case one driver device for coupling to the shift shaft. The shift shaft has a coupling arrangement which is designed to engage, depending on the rotational position of the shift shaft, in each case with a driver device of one of the shift members in order to couple that shift member axially to the shift shaft.
