  • Patent number: 11938976
    Abstract: An arrangement for driving a locomotive has various energy-provision systems. The locomotive contains a main energy-provision system as the main system and a drive system. Energy provided by the main system is supplied to the drive system as drive power and is used by the drive system for moving the locomotive. A railroad car carries at least one additional energy-provision system as an auxiliary system. The auxiliary system is used in a manner which is temporally offset from the main system in order to supply drive power to the drive system. Components which can be used by both the main system and the at least one auxiliary system are implemented only once and are used jointly by both the main system and the auxiliary system. Components which are used exclusively by the auxiliary system are arranged on the railroad car.

  • Publication number: 20200161940
    Abstract: An electrical energy production system includes a diesel engine that is functionally coupled to a three-phase current generator device, the generator device is functionally coupled to an electrical intermediate circuit, the electrical intermediate circuit is functionally coupled to an electric consumer device and a passive rectifier and a pulse rectifier are connected in parallel in the intermediate circuit. An electrical intermediate circuit voltage of the electrical intermediate circuit is provided, in a defined manner, from the passive rectifier and the pulse rectifier. A set point or nominal value of the electrical intermediate circuit voltage is supplied to the pulse rectifier and the pulse rectifier provides a defined portion of the electrical intermediate circuit voltage. A method for operating an electrical energy production system and a computer program product are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6401052
    Abstract: In incremental detectors, measurement signals thereof are first corrected in graduation-specific fashion with respect to amplitude offsets, and phase displacement, and a rough angle is determined. The residual error of the rough angle is fine-corrected via rough-angle-specific, graduation-independent rough angle correction values and a position signal is determined in this way. The correction values for amplitudes offsets, and phase displacement are determined using regression, and the rough angle correction values are determined using high-precision reference angle measurements.
