[0128] Preferably, the second data are determined or estimated from the first data.
[0129] The energy storage control unit determines the first charging and / or discharging profile LEP1 in particular from or using the data acquired, determined and / or estimated by the energy storage control unit 11, in particular the first and / or second data.
[0130] The network state control unit 12 detects network signals of the network 30, in particular a current network frequency and / or a forecast 31 of the network frequency, a network state, in particular an oversupply or undersupply, preferably every second, preferably every 1 to 10 seconds.
[0131] The grid 30 is a power grid, in particular a public power grid. Alternatively or additionally, the grid can be an external power grid and / or a local power grid and / or an internal power grid.
[0132] The charging and / or discharging periods are specified in a second grid or in a 5 to 60 minute grid, in particular as positive and / or negative values or as a charging and / or discharging profile. The first charging and / or discharging profile LEP1 comprises at least one discharge from the energy storage device 20 into the grid and at least one subsequent charging of the energy storage device 20 from the grid.
[0133] The charging of the energy storage device 20 takes place in particular in such a way that the charging of the energy storage device 20 exceeds at least a first, predetermined, charging state of the energy storage device 20.
[0134] The subsequent discharge of the energy storage device 20 takes place in particular in such a way that the discharge of the energy storage device 20 falls below at least a second, predetermined, charge state of the energy storage device 20.
[0135] The target power profile SLP comprises at least one target feed-in from the energy storage device 20 into the grid and at least one target charge of the energy storage device 20 from the grid according to an expected grid deviation.
[0136] In one embodiment, the target power profile SLP comprises a charging or discharging power forecast for the respective charging and / or discharging period by means of the grid state forecast, in particular by the grid state control unit 12.
[0137] In one embodiment, the target power profile SLP for determining a charging and / or discharging period takes into account at least one forecast grid state further in the future, for example, on a subsequent day. For example, the target power profile SLP can take into account that an oversupply or undersupply at a future point in time, for example, on a subsequent day, is forecast to be even greater than during a charging and / or discharging period, so that a corresponding target charging or discharging power PSLP is reduced in the charging and / or discharging period t1 to t8.
[0138] The charging and / or discharging power control unit 13 provides the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 for controlling the charging and / or discharging power to at least one charging and / or discharging control unit 22 of the energy storage device 20. Fig. 1 schematically shows, by way of example, a first charging and discharging profile LEP1 as a solid line with first charging and discharging powers PLEPI, a second charging and discharging profile LEP2 as a dashed line with second charging and discharging powers PLEPZ, and a target power profile SLP as a (substantially) dotted line with target charging and discharging powers PSLP. For better visibility, superimposed lines in Fig. 1 are drawn slightly offset from one another.
[0139] In Fig. 1, charging power PL is shown at the top, and discharging power PE is shown at the bottom. Depending on whether the power is in the upper or lower range, charging or discharging of the energy storage device is specified.
[0140] In the embodiment according to Fig. 1, non-exceeding is to be understood in particular as a value between 0 and the respective charging or discharging power, but not as a charge instead of a discharge or a discharge instead of a charge.
[0141] In a particularly further and not shown embodiment, not exceeding is understood to mean, in particular, a power value between a respective charging power and a respective discharging power. This can mean, for example, that, at a predetermined charging and / or discharging period, corresponding to t1 to t8, a charging power predetermined by the first charging and / or discharging profile is changed or can be changed, in particular by the charging and / or discharging power control unit, into the discharging power predetermined by the target power profile for this charging and / or discharging period.
[0142] The profiles are shown over an operating period B, which, in the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 1, is divided into a time grid of eight periods ti to ts, each lasting from 5 to 60 minutes. In period ti according to Fig. 1, the first charging and discharging power P LEPI of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is at zero, whereas the target charging power PSLP of the target power profile SLP is at a value PLI.
[0143] The charging and discharging power control unit 13 now changes the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 in the period ti into the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 in such a way that the first charging and discharging power PLEPI of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is not exceeded for the period ti of the operating period and that the target charging power PLI of the target power profile SLP is not exceeded for the period ti of the operating period.
[0144] This results in a second charging and discharging power P LEPZ of the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 of zero in period ti. Therefore, the energy storage device is neither charged nor discharged, since neither the charging nor the discharging power is greater than zero.
[0145] In period t2, the first charging power P LEPI of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is at PL2, whereas the target discharging power PSLP of the target power profile SLP is at a value PE1.
[0146] The charging and discharging power control unit 13 changes the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 in the period t2 into the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 such that the first charging power PL2 of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is not exceeded for the period t2 of the operating period and that the target discharging power PE1 of the target power profile SLP is not exceeded for the period tz of the operating period.
[0147] This results in a second charging and discharging power P LEPZ of the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 of zero in period t2. Therefore, the energy storage device is neither charged nor discharged, since neither the charging nor the discharging power is greater than zero.
[0148] In this case, the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 in period t2 includes a first charging power PL2, whereas the target power profile SLP has a target discharging power PE1. Since a non-exceeding value is considered to be between 0 and PL2 or 0 and PE1, the second charging and discharging power P LEPZ in period t2 is zero.
[0149] In period t3, the first charging power P LEPI of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is at PL4, whereas the target charging power P S LP of the target performance profile SLP is at a value PL3.
[0150] The charging and discharging power control unit 13 changes the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 in the period t3 into the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 such that the first charging power PL4 of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is not exceeded for the period t3 of the operating period and that the target charging power PL3 of the target power profile SLP is not exceeded for the period t3 of the operating period B.
[0151] This results in a second charging power P LEPZ of the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 of PL3 in period t3. Thus, the energy storage device is charged because the charging power PL3 is greater than zero.
[0152] In period t3 of operating period B, the target power PL3 is therefore smaller than the first charging power PL4.
[0153] In period t7, the first discharge power PLEPI of the first charge and discharge profile LEP1 is at PE3, whereas the target discharge power P SLP of the target performance profile SLP is at a value PE4.
[0154] The charging and discharging power control unit 13 changes the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 in the period t7 into the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 such that the first discharging power PE3 of the first charging and discharging profile LEP1 is not exceeded for the period t7 of the operating period B and that the target discharging power PE4 of the target power profile SLP is not exceeded for the period t7 of the operating period B. This results in a second discharging power P LEPZ of the second charging and discharging profile LEP2 of PE3 in the period t?. Thus, the energy storage device is discharged because the discharging power PE3 is greater than zero.
[0155] The grid condition forecast includes, in particular, a photovoltaic forecast and / or a wind forecast, preferably based on at least one weather model. A photovoltaic forecast and / or a wind forecast is understood, in particular, to mean a forecast of the expected impact of the power fed into the grid by photovoltaic and / or wind systems.
[0156] The grid status forecast includes, in particular, consumption forecasts and / or forecasts of control power usage. A consumption forecast is understood, in particular, as a forecast of the expected impact of electricity consumption on the grid.
[0157] The network condition forecast includes, in particular, weather models and / or satellite images and / or a Sahara dust forecast.
[0158] The grid status forecast includes in particular the availability of plants feeding electricity into the grid, e.g. a coal-fired power plant.
[0159] The network condition forecast includes in particular the evaluation of thermal images at power plants using infrared cameras and / or magnetic resonance measurements at power plants using power lines.
[0160] The network status forecast may, in one embodiment, include price forecasts as well as a forecast of the services offered, requested, and / or supplied. Reference symbols list
