A method and a device for ascertaining control parameters in a computer-assisted manner for handling a technical system is provided. A starting state and the surroundings of the technical system are detected using at least one sensor, and a physical simulation model of the technical system is generated using same. On the basis of the starting state, different combinations of handling steps of the technical system are simulated with respect to a specified target state using the simulation model, wherein control parameters of the technical system for carrying out the handling steps are varied. The simulation data is used to train a machine learning routine by means of an evaluation of each handling step, and the trained machine learning routine is used to ascertain an optimized combination of handling steps. The control parameters of the optimized combination of handling steps are output to control the technical system is also provided.

A method for defining a structure of a photovoltaic system on a system surface with a local topology is provided, including: first placement of a block at a location on the system surface with the local topology; placing additional blocks at additional locations on the system surface without overlapping previously placed blocks, wherein prior to each placement, row spacing of the solar panels of each additional block is adapted to the topology at the location at which the respective additional block was placed, resulting in a change in the extension of the additional block in the direction of the column of solar panels of the additional block, and ending the placement of additional blocks if, by the placement of an additional block, the nominal capacity of a photovoltaic system corresponding to the structure were to be exceeded, or if no additional block can be placed without overlapping previously placed blocks.

A method and a device for controlling an energy-generating system are operated with a renewable energy source. In the method, a prediction about an energy yield of the energy-generating system is made for a predefined prediction time period, and a predefined area, using a learning system with an input vector and an output vector. The output vector includes operating variables for a multiplicity of successive future times of the time period. The input vector includes variables, influencing the operating variables, for a point in time from a multiplicity of points in time of a predefined observation time period. The input variables include at least three items of information for the observation time period and the predefined area. The energy-generating system is controlled on the basis of the generated prediction such that weather-conditioned fluctuations in the energy yield of the energy-generating system are reduced.

A method for creating a physical layout of a photovoltaic system in a specified field is provided where the photovoltaic system is specified by a plurality of technical properties. The method includes reading out more than 20 pre-calculated, completed layouts for the photovoltaic system from a memory; presenting the completed layouts in a graphical presentation wherein each of the completed layouts is represented by at least one partial amount of the plurality of technical properties; modifying value ranges of the presented technical properties, in order to present a modified number of completed layouts in a comparable manner; and selecting an optimized layout that has been optimized with regard to the presented properties from the modified number of completed layouts. Thereby a photovoltaic system having a high nominal power can be established in the best possible manner. The physical layout of the entire photovoltaic system is adapted to the specified field.
