A control system of a wind power installation and/or a wind farm is provided. The control system has a plurality of operating modes and has an interface. The interface is configured for providing maximum adjustability of the wind power installation and/or the wind farm in critical power grid situations. The interface is configured to receive a signal of a power grid operator, as a result of which all of the plurality of operating modes are released and made available to the power grid operator.

A system for controlling and/or regulating a plurality of machines includes a control unit designed to communicate with the plurality of machines and to transmit to at least one of the plurality of machines a data packet which includes an instruction for carrying out a work task, and a licensing unit designed to provide a license required for carrying out the work task, with the license being awarded in the presence of an authorization to carry out the work task when the at least one of the plurality of machines meets a certain technical requirement.

Systems and methods are described herein for managing the operations of a plurality of microgrid modules. A microgrid module includes transformers and/or power converters necessary for modifying the input AC or DC power sources to meet the required characteristics of the output power. The microgrid module further comprises a control software module and a power router software module. The control software module receives data from sensors in the microgrid module and controls the flow of power with controllable elements. The power router software module controls the operation of the power router. The power router can detect changes in demand for power within the microgrid module or from other microgrid modules. The power router can adjust the flow of power between the microgrid modules in response to changes in the supply of power to the microgrid module and changes in the demand for power from the microgrid module.
