The invention relates to a method for controlling a compression installation (1) which comprises at least two compressor units (i=1, …, N) that can be separately turned on or off, a plurality of devices for modifying the output of the compressor units and a control device (10). Known methods and devices do not function optimally in terms of the power consumption of the entire compression installation. The aim of the invention is therefore to optimize the power consumption (EG) for the operation of a plurality of compressor units (i=1, …, N) of a compression installation (1). The inventive method and device are characterized by calculating a novel circuit configuration (S) and automatically adjusting said novel circuit configuration (S) by means of a control device (10). The invention also relates to compression installations (1), for example natural gas compression installations, for transporting and/or storing gas, as key installations for the national and international power supply. |
