Abstract
A method for operating a plurality of technical units as a pool on an electric distribution network. A central controller is used to receive flexibility data from each technical unit. The flexibility data is used by the unit to indicate a power interval within which the electric power of the unit is allowed to vary or varies in an expected manner. Depending on a specified optimization target of the pool, an individual non-binding stimulus function is ascertained for each unit from the flexibility data of each unit and is provided to the respective unit. In response to the individual stimulus function, a respective schedule which describes a time curve of the power exchange planned according to a local optimization target of the unit is then received from each unit, and an overall schedule for the pool is generated from the schedules of the units.
