Abstract: A method for controlling an electric machine, in particular a permanent magnet synchronous machine, having a first, in particular three-phase, winding system, which is controlled by a first converter, and having a second, in particular three-phase, winding system, which is controlled by a second converter. The first converter is operated with block commutation and the second converter is operated with pulse width modulation, in particular space vector modulation.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating an electric drive system (20) with an electric machine (27) that comprises a first multiphase winding operatively coupled to a first inverter (25), and has at least one second multiphase winding that is coupled to a second inverter (26), A first energy storage (23) is arranged upstream of the first inverter (25), and a second energy storage (24) is arranged upstream of the second inverter (26). The method includes: operating the electric machine (27) by providing a first power flow between the first energy storage (23) and the first multiphase winding; and energizing the second inverter (26) so that a second power flow can be provided between the first energy storage (24) and the second multiphase winding. An electric drive system also is provided for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A control unit generates pulse width modulation (PWM) pulses for an inverter. The control unit has a noise reducer configured to generate an opposing signal for active noise reduction. The noise reducer is configured to set a phase angle of the opposing signal based upon a predefined PWM frequency.
