14. A method for proactively regulating energy flows in an electrical supply network of an automation installation having a plurality of connecting devices which are each connected to the supply network, and a plurality of the connecting devices having an electric motor serving as a generator or as an electric drive, wherein depending on an operating mode of electric motor, the plurality of connecting devices exchange information with respect to their energy requirement or their energy supply with one another, the method comprising:
-
exchanging, among the plurality of connecting devices, information on an expected variation over time of an energy requirement or energy supply of the plurality of connecting devices; and exchanging, among the plurality of connecting devices, energy based on the expected variation over time of the energy requirement or energy supply information; wherein information is formed as broadcast messages; wherein each of the plurality of connecting devices serves as one of (i) an energy consumer, (ii) an energy producer and (iii) an energy store; wherein energy flows are regulated such that an energy requirement of energy consumers is covered primarily by an energy supply of energy producers; and wherein the energy supply of the energy producer is fed directly to the energy consumer. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
