Claim Text:
1. A fluid-reservoir management system for monitoring fluid capacities and controlling a transfer of fluid capacities within a fluid network, the fluid-reservoir management system comprising: a plurality of fluid reservoirs for storing the fluid capacities, with the fluid reservoirs being linked to each other in the fluid network for transferring fluid capacities, a central computer unit provided in a communication network, with the fluid reservoirs being linked to the communication network for transmitting data to and from the central computer unit, a communication portal provided in the communication network, with the communication portal being linked to the central computer unit, a user interface for accessing the communication portal, with the communication portal being configured for conveying orders to the central computer unit within a scope of accessing, a comparison unit for comparing fluid capacities and for comparing parameters of the fluid reservoirs and of the fluid network, and a control device for executing orders to transfer fluid capacities between at least two fluid reservoirs, the orders entered via the user interface of the communication portal, wherein the central computer unit is configured for coordinating the orders to transfer fluid capacities between at least two fluid reservoirs as a function of results of comparisons performed by the comparison unit and for forwarding the orders to the control device for executing wherein two or more fluid-reservoir management systems are provided that are monitored and controlled by a superordinate coordinating center having at least one coordinating-computer unit linked to the central computer unit of each of the two or more fluid-reservoir management systems via the communication network, wherein the at least one coordinating-computer unit of the superordinate coordinating center provides a determination of the order validity throughout the fluid network, the orders calculated by central computer units of respective fluid-reservoir management systems.
