Network regulation upon threshold value overshoots in a low voltage or medium voltage network

A system comprising:

• a central regulation unit;
• and
• a plurality of controllable components of a low voltage or medium voltage network which are connected to one another via a communication network;
• wherein a plurality of controllable components have a transmitting device in order to each transmit information continuously via the communication network to the central regulation unit regarding their own emergency reserves for reducing threshold value overshoots;
• wherein the central regulation unit is configured to calculate, upon an occurrence of a threshold value overshoot, a necessary correction and further configure to transmit a suitable action instruction for reducing threshold value overshoots to at least one controllable component which transmits information regarding emergency reserves;
• wherein the central regulation unit is further configured in order, with each action instruction, to also transmit a probability factor having a value in a range between 0 and 1, which is incrementally raised when, given an insufficient reaction of the controllable components, the threshold value overshoot is not prevented and thus an action instruction must be transmitted anew;
• wherein a specified selection factor having a value in a range between 0 and 1 for each controllable component in accordance with a random process is added to the probability factor, the selection factor remaining unchanged for a respective existing threshold value overshoot, and a requirement to take action for a respective controllable component being compulsory when the probability factor reaches the value 1;
• wherein the system is operated to control the controllable components of the low voltage or medium voltage network and regulate the low voltage or medium voltage network upon threshold value overshoots in the low voltage or medium voltage network;
• and
• wherein the central regulation unit is further configured to inform a network operator when the emergency reserves of the controllable components are not sufficient to prevent the threshold value overshoot.

A non-transitory computer program product encoded with a computer program which is loaded directly into a memory store of a central regulation unit of a low voltage or medium voltage network which, when executed by the central regulation unit, causes network regulation of threshold value overshoots in a low voltage or medium voltage network, the computer program comprising:

• program code for transmitting information continuously from each of a plurality of controllable components to the central regulation unit with respect to their own emergency reserves for reducing threshold value overshoots;
• program code for calculating, by the central regulation unit, a necessary correction and transmitting a suitable action instruction for reducing threshold value overshoots to at least one controllable component which transmits information regarding emergency reserves upon an occurrence of a threshold value overshoot;
• program code for transmitting, with each action instruction, a probability factor having a value in a range between 0 and 1, which is incrementally raised when, given an insufficient reaction of the controllable components, the threshold value overshoot is not prevented and thus an action instruction must be transmitted anew;
• program code for adding a specified selection factor having a value in a range between 0 and 1 for each controllable component in accordance with a random process to the probability factor, the selection factor remaining unchanged for a respective existing threshold value overshoot, and a requirement to take action for a respective controllable component being compulsory when the probability factor reaches the value 1;
• and
• program code for informing, by the central regulation unit, the network operator when the emergency reserves of the controllable components are not sufficient to prevent the threshold value overshoot;
• wherein the program code operates the low voltage or medium voltage network and controls the controllable components of the low voltage or medium voltage network.
