    Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical power which flows into or out of an electrical subnetwork via a connection point is disclosed. The subnetwork has at least one electrical load, and the electrical load is connected to a control device via a communication connection, the electrical power flowing via the connection point is measured and a maximum power consumption of the electrical load is set by means of the control device on the basis of the electrical power flowing via the connection point. A device for connecting a multiphase subnetwork, which has an energy production installation and an energy store, to a superordinate multiphase alternating voltage network is configured to transmit electrical power between the alternating voltage network and the subnetwork and comprises an AC/AC converter having a network connection, two inverter bridge circuits with an interposed intermediate circuit and a subnetwork connection. The device also comprises a control device which is configured to set the electrical powers flowing via the individual phases of the subnetwork connection on the basis of power values of the energy production installation and/or of the energy store by suitably controlling the inverter bridge circuits of the AC/AC converter.

    Abstract: The application describes a method for operating an electrolyzer to generate hydrogen from water using an electrolysis reaction, supplied with power from an AC grid via an actively controlled rectifier circuit. The method includes operating the electrolyzer in a normal operating mode with an input voltage UEI above a no-load voltage ULL with predominantly ohmic behavior, operating the electrolyzer in a standby operating mode with an input voltage UEI below the no-load voltage ULL with predominantly capacitive behavior, and transitioning from the standby operating mode to the normal operating mode during a first transition duration Δt1, wherein the first transition duration Δt1 is reduced by keeping the input voltage UEI at the electrolyzer input during the standby operating mode above a first voltage threshold value UTH,1 different from 0 V. The application furthermore describes a connection circuit, an actively controlled rectifier circuit and an electrolysis system for performing the method.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tracking method for a voltage transformer, in particular an inverter, of a photovoltaic system. In the method, an intermediate circuit voltage is repeatedly decreased or increased in one direction to a lower or higher voltage by voltage steps of a specified magnitude. The method is characterized in that an average rate of change of the intermediate circuit voltage in a partial time period between two voltage steps is limited by a maximum average rate of change, the maximum average rate of change being defined according to the magnitude of the intermediate circuit voltage. The disclosure further relates to a tracking device designed to perform the tracking method and to an inverter equipped with the tracking device.
