Abstract
Methods for automated management of a plurality of throughflow apparatuses, the throughflow apparatuses being configured for producing a total throughflow of a fluid into and/or out of a storage apparatus, such as a natural gas store, include inputting predefined values for the throughflow apparatuses into an input unit, transferring the input predefined values to a management unit, and using the transferred predefined values of the management unit for managing the throughflow apparatuses in the control and/or regulation thereof.
Claims20
A method for automated management of a plurality of throughflow apparatuses configured for producing a total throughflow of a fluid into, out, or into and out of a storage apparatus method comprising:
- inputting a prescribed value for the total throughflow;
- inputting setpoints for each throughflow apparatus of the plurality of throughflow apparatuses into an input unit;
- transferring the input setpoints to a management unit;
- and
- managing the plurality of throughflow apparatuses in open-loop control, closed-loop control, or open-loop and closed-loop control using the transferred input setpoints of the management unit.
A management apparatus for automated management of distributed use of a plurality of throughflow apparatuses, the plurality of throughflow apparatuses being configured for producing a total throughflow of a fluid into, out of, or into and out of a storage apparatus, the management apparatus comprising:
- at least one input unit configured for inputting setpoints for each throughflow apparatus of the plurality of throughflow apparatuses;
- and
- at least one management unit configured to perform open-loop, closed-loop, or open-loop and closed-loop control on the plurality of throughflow apparatuses;
- wherein the at least one management unit is configured for receiving the input setpoints transferred thereto.
A natural gas storage system comprising a plurality of throughflow apparatuses, a management apparatus, and a storage apparatus, wherein the management apparatus comprises:
- at least one input unit configured for inputting setpoints for each throughflow apparatus of the plurality of throughflow apparatuses;
- and
- at least one management unit configured to perform open-loop control, closed loop control, or open-loop and closed loop control on the plurality of throughflow apparatuses,
- wherein the at least one management unit is configured for receiving the input setpoints transferred thereto.
