Method and Apparatus for Performing Energy Management in a Power Supply Grid
First Claim
1. An energy management system of a power supply grid (PSG), comprising:
- at least one control unit (CU) connected to distributed energy resource controllers (ERC) of energy resources (ER) of said power supply grid (PSG) by means of a communication network (CNW),wherein said control unit (CU) monitors communication links (CL) between said control unit (CU) and the energy resource controllers (ERC) via said communication network (CNW),wherein said control unit (CU) is adapted to calculate a predicted operation behavior of an energy resource controlled (ERC) by an energy resource controller (ERC) if a loss of communication or a communication bandwidth limitation of the monitored communication link (CL) to said energy resource controller (ERC) is detected.

Abstract
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.

22. A method for performing an energy management in a power supply grid comprising distributed energy resources (ER) having energy resource controllers (ERC) connected to at least one control unit (CU) by means of a communication network (CNW), comprising the steps of:
-
(a) monitoring the communication links (CL) between said at least one communication unit (CU) and the energy resource controllers (ERC) via said communication network (CNW); (b) calculating a predicted operation behavior of an energy resource (ER) if a loss or limitation of communication of the communication link (CL) between the energy resource controller (ERC) of the affected energy resource (ER) and the communication unit (CU) is detected. - View Dependent Claims (23)
