Publication number: 20240022193Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a value profile of a controlled variable of an electrical system. Differences between predetermined values of an output variable at an end time and a determined value of the output variable at the end time are determined. A value profile of the controlled variable in the time interval is predetermined, the value profile being dependent on an end value at the end time and is being determined uniquely by the specification of the end value. Allowed values of the controlled variable are determined such that, when the electrical system is activated, the value of the output variable at the end time is equal to the determined difference. A curve of the allowed values of the controlled variable is determined on the basis of the allowed values of the controlled variable. A point of intersection of the determined curve and a predetermined derating function is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Michele Hirsch, Christian Hahn, Markus Becker
