  • Patent number: 9911248
    Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive system which includes ascertaining an overall cost function that takes into account the cost function, which is a function of the operating point, for minimizing an energy usage of the hybrid drive system, and that takes into account one or more partial cost functions, which are a function of the operating point, which are each assigned to a requested special function; determining an optimized operating point of the hybrid drive system corresponding to an optimization according to the ascertained overall cost function; operating of the hybrid drive system at the operating point; and executing of those of the requested special functions for which the determined operating point is within an operating range assigned to the respective special function.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9227625
    Abstract: A method for operating a driving system of a motor vehicle, in particular, the driving system having an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor, and during warm-up of the internal combustion engine, the latter being loaded with a specifiable torque; and the at least one electric motor generating a torque at least at times, to unload or load the internal combustion engine. An actual torque of the internal combustion engine is compared to a specifiable first setpoint torque of the internal combustion engine; a difference of the actual torque from the first setpoint torque being formed; and a time integral being formed over the difference formed; and a fault being detected in the warm-up of the internal combustion engine, as a function of the time integral formed.
