Power supply system with optimized availability

A method for detecting anomalies in a network of a plurality of power supply systems connected in a common network by data technology, comprising:

• collecting all operating data of predetermined operating parameters of individual components of the power supply systems in an anonymized manner as collected operating data;
• storing the collected operating data centrally as centrally stored data;
• accessing the centrally stored data by all power supply systems for an analysis as to whether a proper operation of each individual component is present as a performed analysis;
• and
• as a function of a result of the performed analysis, controlling the individual components of the power supply systems such that availability of each power supply system is optimized and/or detected deviations of individual components of the power supply systems are displayed or are output as a signal, respectively,
• wherein the power supply systems each comprise a power supply system for galvanically isolating an input voltage, which is present on an input side of the power supply system and which is hazardous when touched, from a touchable output voltage, which is to be provided on an output side of the power supply system, and to provide a constant output voltage on the output side, the power supply system comprising:
• at least two individual components, at least one individual component of the at least two individual components being configured to provide electrical energy, and a predetermined plurality of operating parameters for each individual component of the at least two individual components being monitorable by a sensor unit or a plurality of sensor units;
• and
• a monitoring unit configured such that:
• at least one operating parameter of the plurality of operating parameters of each individual component relates to an operating time of the respective individual component, a service life of an internal component of the respective individual component, or a service life of the respective individual component itself and is comparable to a stored corresponding reference operating parameter, reference values of the stored reference operating parameter being stored for respective different operating states,
• at least one operating parameter of one individual component of the at least two individual components is comparable to a corresponding operating parameter of an other individual component of the at least two individual components, and
• based upon a detected deviation between a value of the operating parameter and a value of the reference operating parameter beyond a predetermined measure, or based upon a detected deviation between a value of the operating parameter and a value of the corresponding operating parameter beyond a predetermined measure, at least one of the individual components is controllable such that availability of each individual component is optimized and/or the detected deviation is displayed or outputtable as a signal, respectively.
