Abstract: Regulation of the active and reactive power output or received by a induction machine (1) in a coordinate system fixed on the winding, wherein a first regulator output variable is generated using a first regulator (46-1) as a function of a setpoint variable deviation of the active power and a second regulator output variable is generated using a second regulator (46-2) as a function of a setpoint variable deviation of the reactive power, feedback variables are charged on each of the first and second regulator output variables, which are functions of at least one chronologically changing system variable of the induction machine, and a voltage or a current of the induction machine is determined as a manipulated variable without further regulation at least from the first and second regulator output variables charged with the feedback variables. The feedback variables may linearize the regulation path and then allow restriction to only two simple regulators, e.g., two PI regulators.
