- a method of operating a plurality of devices The present invention relates to a method for Operator Op ben ⁇ a plurality of devices which are connected in a network which has multiple network segments, which are connected together with a coupling element. About this, the present invention relates to such a Kopplungsele- element which connects several network segments of a network with ⁇ each other. Finally, the present invention relates to such a ⁇ network.
- Performance is needed to determine. Otherwise, the energy supply can not be designed in a targeted and time-dependent manner. This usually leads to the fact that on the one hand überdimensio ⁇ assembled cables for the electrical supply of the individual devices are used, and also to the fact that expensive contracts with the power companies. In particular, large farms usually count on the service to be provided.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to operate a plurality of devices connected in a network more efficiently.
- This object is achieved by a method for operating a plurality of devices, which in one
- the network has a plurality of network segments, which are connected to each other with a coupling element, and each of the devices is assigned to one of the Netzwerkseg ⁇ elements, by querying an energy demand of at least one of the devices, and providing a In ⁇ formation on the Energy requirement of at least one device in the coupling element.
- the current energy requirement of the individual devices is determined by means of a measuring device which is integrated in the respective devices or is arranged externally on the devices.
