Abstract: To operate electrical devices, power consumptions of all the electrical devices are continually captured and assigned to the individual electrical devices and at least one desired result is achieved by virtue of at least a first control instance of the electrical devices, the operation of which helps to achieve a desired result, and a second control instance of the electrical devices, the operation of which likewise helps to achieve the desired result. The devices are operated in a coordinated fashion. To this end, measured values from multiple measured value transmitters are captured by operating the multiple electrical devices. Correlations between changes in the measured values of the individual measured value transmitters over time and changes in the power consumptions of the individual electrical devices over time are determined and the desired result is selected from a subgroup of results.

Abstract: A method for the communication of system control units with a plurality of spatially distributed energy generating systems, which jointly feed into a continuous supply network for electrical energy, includes receiving request data from the system control units and system data from the energy generating systems at a gateway that is operating as a common gateway, managing the system data in the gateway and processing the request data in the gateway, and sending control commands to the energy generating systems and/or data responses to the system control units that result from the processing of the request data via the gateway. The method also includes receiving the request data in at least two different data models of the individual system control units and/or receiving the system data in at least two different data models of the individual energy generating systems at the gateway, translating the request data and the system data from their respective data models into a metadata model in the gateway; and managing the translated system data in the gateway and processing the translated request data in the gateway, wherefrom data responses compiled from system data to specific system control units and/or control commands to specific energy generating systems result in the metadata model. Lastly, the method includes translating the data responses and/or control commands from the metadata model into the data models of the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems in the gateway, and transmitting the translated data responses and/or control commands by the gateway to the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems.

Abstract: For optimizing a chronological development of consumption of electric power by a group of different consumers with regard to a supply of electric power including electric power from at least one wind or solar power generator, characteristic time curves of the consumption of electric power are determined at a high temporal resolution. A prognosis is made of a chronological development of the supply of electric power from the at least one power generator for a future period of time, and a plan for apportioning electric power to the individual consumers within the future period of time is made based on the characteristic time curves of the consumption of electric power by the individual consumers, the prognosis, and user goal setting by a user of the consumers resulting in different weightings of consumption of electric power by different consumers and supply of electric power by different power sources.

Abstract: A method of detecting a serial arc fault in a DC-power circuit includes injecting an RF-signal with a narrow band-width into the DC-power circuit and measuring a response signal related to the injected RF-signal in the DC-power circuit. The method further includes determining a time derivative of the response signal, analyzing the time derivative, and signaling an occurrence of a serial arc fault in the power circuit based on the results of the analysis. A system for detecting an arc fault is configured to perform a method as described before.

Abstract: A method for locking a connection between a connector and a mating connector arranged on an electric vehicle is disclosed. The connector is arranged on a charging cable connected to a charging post of a charging station, such as a charging cable fixedly connected to a charging post of a charging station. The connector is associated with a first locking element, and the mating connector is associated with a second locking element, wherein the first locking element and the second locking element cooperate to lock the connection between the connector and the mating connector, and each have an activated state and a deactivated state. The method includes operating the first locking element associated with the connector in an activated state in a first operating mode of the charging station to lock the connection between the connector and the mating connector when the second locking element associated with the mating connector is activated. The method further includes operating the first locking element associated with the connector in a deactivated state in a second operating mode of the charging station to unlock the connection between the connector and the mating connector when the second locking element associated with the mating connector is activated. Additionally described is a charging station which is suitable and set up for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A method of communication of distributed devices handling electric energy with communication partners via the Internet includes programming rules in a server. The rules determine between which device and which communication partner a communication connection is to be mediated based on generic properties of the devices, generic properties of the communication partners and an initializing time-variable datum. The communication connection is a point to point, point to multi point or multi point to multi point connection via the internet. Data are transmitted from each device and each communication partner to the server via the Internet. These data include both a communication address and attributes indicative of the generic properties of the device or the communication partner, respectively. The communication connection is mediated between the device and the communication partner determined by the rules in response to a value of the initializing time-variable datum also defined by the rules.
