Zusammenfassung

Dezentrale Erzeugung kann als Erzeugung geringerer Leistung bezeichnet werden, die an das Verteilnetz angeschlossen ist, jedoch ohne zentrale Planung und zentrale Einspeisung in das Netz auskommt. Eine geeignete Steuerung der dezentralen Erzeugung kann deren Leistung erheblich verbessern, ohne Netzbegrenzungen zu verletzen, und erleichtert damit eine erfolgreiche Beteiligung im Stromnetz und am Strommarkt. Im Folgenden werden zwei Steuerungsebenen – die Steuerung der einzelnen Einheiten dezentraler Erzeugung sowie die Netzsteuerung – vorgestellt. Erstere wird auf Basis von drei Technologien erläutert: Induktionsgeneratoren, Synchrongeneratoren und Stromrichter. Eine wirkungsvolle Netzsteuerung kann anhand eines aktiven Managementkonzepts aufgebaut werden. Schließlich werden drei Beispiele für die Steuerung – MicroGrids, Speicherzelle und virtuelles Kraftwerk – besprochen.

Summary

Distributed generation (DG), whose installed capacity is increasing rapidly, can be defined as low rating generation that is neither planned nor dispatched centrally and is usually connected to the distribution network. Appropriate control of DG can improve the performance of DG units without violating network constraints, and facilitate the effective participation of DG in power system and market operation. Two control levels, DG unit control and network control, are summarized. DG unit control is introduced based on three technologies: induction generators, synchronous generators and power electric converters. Effective network control can be built based upon active management concept. Finally, three DG control paradigms, MicroGrid, cell and virtual power plant, are discussed.
