Abstract
A method and a device for supplying a measurement electronics system in a fitting, through which a fluid flows, with electrical energy, which is generated in a turbine by the fluid flowing through the filling, wherein the flow quantities and pressures vary within wide boundaries, typically 1:1000. A pressure control device associated with the turbine controls the pressure of the fluid striking the turbine in such a manner that the electrical energy required for operating the measurement electronics system is generated with a small flow quantity, the pressure loss incurred by the fluid while flowing through the fitting being limited to a maximum value.
