  • Method for the open-loop and closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine with a generator and asynchronous machine, open-loop and closed-loop control unit, and internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 11187165
    Abstract: A method for the open-loop and closed-loop control of an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine or gas engine, with a generator and asynchronous machine, including the following steps: detecting at least one electrical characteristic variable of the generator, wherein the electrical characteristic variable is selected from current, voltage or frequency; determining a characteristic variable change in the electrical characteristic variable of the generator in a predetermined time interval; comparing the change in characteristic variable with a first threshold value; and in the event that the change in characteristic variable is greater than the first threshold value, changing from a standard speed control of the internal combustion engine to a feed-forward control.
