Abstract
A central device for a control system which controls an energy transfer system that has energy generators and energy consumers. The central device is suitable for determining, by an actual and/or a prognosticated energy consumption, how much energy should be generated by the energy generators. An individual energy bandwidth is assigned to at least one subgroup of the energy consumers connected to the energy transfer system, the bandwidth indicating to what extent the total energy consumption of the subgroup is expected to be able to be raised and/or lowered. The central device is suitable—in view of the energy generating behavior of the energy generators and the individual energy bandwidth of the subgroup—for determining an optimum target energy consumption which lies within the individual energy bandwidth and which the subgroup should achieve in total. The central device further generates a control signal indicating the target energy consumption.

20. A method for controlling a power transmission system having power generators and power consumers, which comprises the steps of:
-
determining by means of at least one of an actual power consumption or a forecast power consumption how much power should be generated by the power generators; assigning an individual power bandwidth to a subgroup of the power consumers connected to the power transmission system, the individual power bandwidth indicating to what extent a total power consumption of the subgroup is expected to be at least one of raised or reduced; determining, in view of power generating characteristics of the power generators and of the individual power bandwidth of the subgroup, an optimum desired power consumption which lies within the individual power bandwidth, and which the subgroup should achieve in total; and generating a control signal indicating the optimum desired power consumption.
