Abstract

A building control system for at least one building. The building control system has a system controller and at least one building operation device with a respective operation controller. Electrical supply power is fed from a supply grid to the at least one building operation device. The system controller is set up to temporarily adapt a setpoint value for each building operation parameter in order to adapt the electrical supply power to the state of the supply grid and to stabilize the supply grid. The direct specification of a temporarily modified setpoint value for a building operation parameter is a simple and efficient option of integrating the subordinate open-loop or closed-loop controllers of the building operation devices into the building control system. This measure also makes simple retrofitting possible.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A building control system for at least one building comprising a system control that is communicatively connected to at least one operation control of at least one building operation device,

wherein the at least one building operation device is supplied with electrical supply power from a power grid for operation of the at least one building operation device, whereby the at least one building operation device is configured to open loop control or closed loop control a building operation parameter according to a setpoint value for the building operation parameter preset by the at least one operation control,
wherein the system control is configured to determine a grid operation parameter of the power grid or to receive the grid operation parameter from the power grid and whereby the system control is configured to temporarily modify at least one setpoint value for one or more building operation parameters in order to modify the electrical supply power extracted from the power grid by the at least one building operation device in order to reduce a deviation of the grid operation parameter of the power grid from a setpoint value for the grid operation parameter.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
