Abstract

A method for the communication of system control units with multiple energy generating systems includes receiving request data from the system control units and system data from the energy generating systems at a common gateway, managing the system data and processing the request data in the gateway, and sending control commands to the energy generating systems and/or data responses to the system control units via the gateway. The request data and/or the system data are received in at least two different data models at the gateway, and translated from their respective data models into a metadata model. The translated system data are managed and the translated request data are processed in the gateway, resulting in data responses and/or control commands in the metadata model that are translated back into the data models of the specific system control units and/or energy generating systems, and transmitted to them by the gateway.
