Method for the communication of system control units with a plurality of energy generating systems via a gateway, and correspondingly configured and programmed data server
First Claim
1. A method for the communication of system control units with a plurality of spatially distributed energy generating systems, which jointly feed into a continuous supply network for electrical energy, comprising:
- receiving request data from the system control units and system data from the energy generating systems at a gateway that is operating as a common gateway;
managing the system data in the gateway and processing the request data in the gateway;
sending control commands to the energy generating systems and/or data responses to the system control units that result from the processing of the request data via the gateway;
receiving the request data in at least two different data models of the individual system control units and/or receiving the system data in at least two different data models of the individual energy generating systems at the gateway;
translating the request data and the system data from their respective data models into a metadata model in the gateway;
managing the translated system data in the gateway and processing the translated request data in the gateway, wherefrom data responses compiled from system data to specific system control units and/or control commands to specific energy generating systems result in the metadata model;
translating the data responses and/or control commands from the metadata model into the data models of the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems in the gateway; and
transmitting the translated data responses and/or control commands by the gateway to the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems.

Abstract
A method for the communication of system control units with multiple energy generating systems includes receiving request data from the system control units and system data from the energy generating systems at a common gateway, managing the system data and processing the request data in the gateway, and sending control commands to the energy generating systems and/or data responses to the system control units via the gateway. The request data and/or the system data are received in at least two different data models at the gateway, and translated from their respective data models into a metadata model. The translated system data are managed and the translated request data are processed in the gateway, resulting in data responses and/or control commands in the metadata model that are translated back into the data models of the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems, and transmitted to them by the gateway.

18. A data server comprising a processor as a gateway, wherein the processor is configured and programmed to perform, upon executing instructions of a program, acts for the communication of system control units with a plurality of spatially distributed energy generating systems, which jointly feed into a continuous supply network for electrical energy, wherein the processor is configured to:
-
receive request data from the system control units and system data from the energy generating systems at the gateway as a common gateway; manage the system data in the gateway and process the request data in the gateway; send control commands to the energy generating systems and/or data responses to the system control units that result from the processing of the request data via the gateway; receive the request data in at least two different data models of the individual system control units and/or receive the system data in at least two different data models of the individual energy generating systems at the gateway; translate the request data and the system data from their respective data models into a metadata model in the gateway; manage the translated system data in the gateway and process the translated request data in the gateway, wherefrom data responses compiled from system data to specific system control units and/or control commands to specific energy generating systems result in the metadata model; translate the data responses and/or control commands from the metadata model into the data models of the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems in the gateway; and transmit the translated data responses and/or control commands by the gateway to the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems.
