Abstract
A method for controlling the pressure and/or the flow rate of a fluid includes withdrawing flow energy from a fluid flowing through a pipeline (). This energy is converted at least partially into electrical energy and used for the electrical control () of the flow rate and/or the pressure of a fluid. The device for controlling the flow rate and/or pressure of a fluid in a pipeline () has at least one electric generator (), which is developed for the withdrawal of flow energy from a flowing fluid and for converting this energy at least partially into electrical energy. The device has a control mechanism () for controlling the flow rate and/or pressure of a fluid in a pipeline () with an electric driving mechanism supplied by the generator ().
