  • Operating strategy for hybrid vehicles for the implementation of a load point shift, a recuperation and a boost
    Patent number: 10029691
    Abstract: A hybrid drive includes a combustion engine, a generator driven by the combustion engine, a charge storage unit, and an electric engine. The hybrid drive can be driven in a load point shifting mode, a recuperation mode, and a boost mode. In the load point shifting mode, a power or torque distribution regulator specifies the torques supplied by the combustion engine and the electric engine in the sense of a maintenance of a predetermined theoretical value of the charging state of the charge storage unit. The theoretical value of the charging state of the charge storage unit is shifted in the load point shifting mode, as a function of the charging state changes of the charge storage unit in a previously carried out recuperation or boost mode.

  • Control of a modular converter having distributed energy stores with the aid of an observer for the currents and an estimating unit for the intermediate circuit energy
    Patent number: 8837185
    Abstract: Methods and configurations controlling a converter having controllable power semiconductors, compare actual and target state values to obtain control difference values for a control unit producing setting voltage values. Control electronics provide control signals according to setting voltage values and transmit them to power semiconductors. The control unit generates voltage values so control difference values become small. Current and converter energy controls and energy balancing are performed jointly, actual state values are calculated by an observing unit based on setting voltage values considering measured current values and actual state intermediate-circuit energy values are calculated by an estimating unit considering measured intermediate-circuit energy values of positive and negative voltage sources.
