An electric power management system is a system that performs an exchange of electric power with an electric power system of an electric power company that is a counterparty of the exchange of the electric power, and includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of the electric power between the battery of each of the vehicles and the electric power system. The server manages the exchange of the electric power for each vehicle group in which the vehicles are bundled, and configures the vehicle groups in advance such that distributions of the electric power supply and demand characteristics of the batteries of the vehicles included in the vehicle groups are the same or similar.

A method for assisting control of an electrical supply grid) or a portion thereof is provided. The method includes recording system states of the grid and/or influencing the grid, transmitting the states to a central evaluation and/or control unit and/or between other subscribers, including wind turbines and/or wind farms that supply the grid, for use in controlling their supply to the grid.

Fundamentally identical states are simultaneously recorded at multiple recording locations associated with the grid and the recording of at least one of the states at a respective recording location is performed by a turbine and/or farm and the turbine or farm recording a state at one recording location and the turbine or farm recording a state at another recording location are independent at least such that they supply to the grid at different points.

A method for feeding electric power into an electrical supply grid by means of a local feed unit. The feed unit is connected to a grid link point connected to a transformer point directly or via a supply connection. The transformer point is connected to a grid section via a transformer. The method includes feeding electrical real power into the electrical supply grid at the grid link point, feeding electrical reactive power into the electrical supply grid at the grid link point, detecting a change to be made in the real power to be fed in, and changing the fed-in real power in accordance with the detected change to be made. The method includes limiting a change in the fed-in reactive power over time when changing the fed-in real power and/or immediately thereafter or temporarily activating voltage control on the basis of the change in the fed-in real power.

The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation from a power plant which comprises a plurality of power generating units. The method involves setting a maximal allowed power production for each power generating unit in a selection of one or more power generating units of second priority to a non-zero value, where the maximal allowed power production is determined dependent on whether a first power production gap is greater or less than zero and dependent on a comparison of the first power production gap with a second available power production capability of the selection of the one or more power generating units of the second priority.
