A controller for a technical system is trained using a machine learning method. For this purpose, a chronological sequence of training data is detected for the machine learning method, the training data including both state data as well as control action data of the technical system. A change in the control action data over time is detected specifically and correlated with changes in the state data over time within different time windows, wherein a time window-specific correlation value is ascertained in each case. A resulting time window is then ascertained on the basis of the ascertained correlation values, and the training data which is found within the resulting time window is extracted in a time window-specific manner. The controller is trained by means of the machine learning method using the extracted training data and thereby configured to control the technical system.

Controller for controlling a technical system, and method for configuring the controller

A method is provided for the computer-aided open-loop and/or closed-loop control of the operation of an energy generation system. The method may include: creating a simulation model of the energy generation system; providing an efficiency calculation module that is designed to calculate the expected thermal and electrical efficiency of the energy generation system based on the created simulation model and using predefined operating parameters; applying a learning and/or optimization method to the provided efficiency calculation module using previously obtained known operating data of the energy generation system and/or based on simulation data obtained by the simulation model such that the operation of the energy generation system is optimized in terms of at least one thermal and/or electrical operating parameter in line with a target specification; creating a control strategy for the energy generation system on the basis of the trained efficiency calculation module; and operating the energy generation system using the created control strategy.
