Abstract

In a method for synchronizing a feed voltage with a network voltage of an electrical energy supply network, a property of the feed voltage can be determined on the basis of a static characteristic curve. The static characteristic curve is compared to the property of the feed voltage of a feed power received by the electrical energy supply network at the applied feed voltage. The property of the feed voltage is adjusted to a specified value when a limit current of the feed power is reached.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for synchronizing a feed voltage of a first current-limited network former with a network voltage of an electrical energy supply network comprising additional second network formers having second static characteristic curves and electrical loads, the method comprising:
determining, based on a first static characteristic curve of the first network former, a property of the feed voltage of the first network former, said property selected from frequency, phase position and root-mean-square value,

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the limit for the feed power of the first network former is reached when a maximum current that can be supplied to the supply network by the first network former is reached or a feed power of the first network former is negative, or both.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising shifting a base of the first static characteristic curve to adjust the property of the feed voltage of the first network former to the specified value.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein for shifting the base, a supplied primary energy, from which the feed power of the first network former is converted, is reduced.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the base of the first static characteristic curve is returned to its original value when the feed voltage of the first network former is smaller than the limit for the feed power of the first network former.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switch-on signal is an increase of a property of the network voltage.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequentially controlled property of the feed voltage of the first network former is the root-mean-square value of the feed voltage of the first network former.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a length of time of the ramp-shaped desired curve is shorter than a transmission time of the predetermined switch-on signal.
