  • Patent number: 10300920
    Abstract: A method for vibration dampening of a drive train is disclosed. The method includes determining torsional parameters of the drive train via a state controller based on reconstructed torsional parameters of the at least one flywheel mass detected by at least one observer, determining the reconstructed torsional parameters based on disturbances in both (i) a load torque (Mlast) applied at an output of a torque transmission device and (ii) an induced torque (Mind) transmitted via the torque transmission device, determining a compensation torque via the state controller based on the reconstructed torsional parameters, and controlling an electric machine via the state controller based on the compensation torque to compensate torsional vibrations.

  • Publication number: 20170334448
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for vibration dampening of a drive train, including an internal combustion engine which has an engine torque (Mvm) from a crankshaft, an electric machine, a transmission which has a transmission input shaft and a torque transmission device arranged between the crankshaft and the transmission input shaft, which torque transmission device has at least one flywheel mass capable of oscillating with a moment of inertia (J 1, J2, J3) and a state controller for controlling the electric machine by a compensation torque (Mregler) compensating for torsional vibrations on the transmission input shaft.
