A system and a method for exchanging data between a server and a client in an industrial data network, wherein the server employs a first information model for information interchange and the client employs a second information model for information interchange, where the method includes converting the first and the second information models in a first and a second machine-interpretable description, deducing similarities between elements of the first and the second machine-interpretable description, proposing and implementing a mapping of at least one element of the first information model to an element of the second information model based on the deduced similarities in text and in structure and, employing, by a gateway entity, the mapping for a data exchange between the server and the client such that the semantic mapping of virtually any input, vendor-specific metadata, and any output model (including OPC UA-based models) is achieved.

A method for communicating between an electric vehicle and a charging station for electrically charging at least one energy storage device of the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle is connected to the charging station during the charging process by a lockable mechanical coupling between a terminal of charging cable connected to the vehicle and a terminal of the charging station. Charging current is fed from the charging station through the charging cable. Information is transferred in the course of the charging process based on a communication between the electric vehicle and the charging station. The information includes a signal transmitted from the electric vehicle to the charging station for locking and/or unlocking the mechanical coupling. The signal triggers the locking and/or unlocking of the mechanical coupling between the terminal of the charging cable and the terminal at the charging station.

An energy management system of a power supply grid includes at least one control unit (CU) connected to distributed energy resource controllers (ERC) of energy resources (ER) of the power supply grid by means of a communication network, (CNW) wherein the control unit (CU) monitors communication links (CL) between the control unit (CU) and the energy resource controllers (ERC) via the communication network (CNW), and wherein the control unit (CU) is adapted to calculate a predicted operation behavior of an energy resource (ER) controlled by an energy resource controller (ERC) if a loss of communication or a communication bandwidth limitation of the monitored communication link to the energy resource controller (ERC) is detected.

Method and apparatus for performing energy management in a power supply grid

A device and method is provided that establishes a charging connection and a communication connection between a charging station and a vehicle, the vehicle having a first charging device and a first communication device, the charging station having a second charging device and a second communication device. The first charging device is positioned with respect to the second charging device in a way that energy for charging a battery of the vehicle is transmitted via the charging connection, and an orientation of the second communication device with respect to the first communication device, is such that the communication connection can carry out a wireless exchange of information in a way that reception of the information by a further communication device is prevented. The first communication device and the second communication device are configured in a way that the information is emitted and/or received by means of at least one communication unit.

Establishing a charging connection and an associated communication connection

The invention substantially relates to a method, wherein operational control parameters and/or control limits, which are to be conveyed using communications technology, are determined on the operator side for each of the distributed storage devices in such a way that a specific cost function is minimal for all of the distributed storage devices on the basis of locally measured variables determined at the respective storage device and transmitted to the operator and on the basis of installation-dependent control limits stored locally in each case and which are also transmitted to the operator, and wherein the operational control parameters and/or control limits, which are to be conveyed using communications technology, are transmitted from the operator side to the corresponding distributed storage devices and implemented there. Consideration of the locally limited available energy and power and the boundary conditions resulting from serving multiple applications from one storage device hereby ensures power availability and, by way of example, an optimal overall service life of all distributed storage devices.

The invention essentially relates to a facility for charge current control of storage units in an electrical energy supply grid including, among others, distributed generators and distributed storage units, in which a logic unit is present such that, a storage charge current value can be determined for the storage unit as a function of control variables transferred via a communication system of measurement variables determined at the storage and of locally held internal control variables. This represents an important component for achieving the optimum possible overall utilization of the distributed and multiple-use energy storage.

The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for allocating amounts of energy for prosumers, wherein the prosumers provide minimum and maximum amounts of energy for a future interval of time and the respective amounts of energy from the prosumers are generated in such a manner that, on the one hand, a relative position of the amount of energy within an interval for the particular prosumer, as defined by the minimum amount of energy and the maximum amount of energy, assumes an identical value for all prosumers and, on the other hand, a sum of the amounts of energy from all prosumers produces a value of zero. The invention can be used in the distribution of amounts of energy in a power supply system having conventional energy producers and energy consumers as well as in novel participants in the power supply system which can both consume and provide energy, for example an electric vehicle.

Methods and apparatuses for allocating amounts of energy

In a method for communicating between a number of first services and a number of second services. The number of first services belongs to a service-oriented architecture, in which a respective first service is provided by messages based on a question-answer mechanism by a first protocol. The number of second services belongs to a data-based architecture, in which second services can be switched together by a second protocol. The second protocol specifies data input and data output of the second service and transfers the data between the second services. A message of a first service, entering into the service converter, is converted into data input of a second service associated with the first service and/or data output of a second service, entering into the service converter is converted into a message emitted by the service converter, of a first service associated with the second service.
