  • Method for operating a drive with an internal combustion engine and an electric machine
    Patent number: 7040269
    Abstract: The warm-up period of the internal combustion engine is reduced by operating an electric machine as an additional load of the combustion engine in order to obtain a specific excessive increase in the heat loss of combustion engine. To this end, the magnetizing current of the electric machine such as, for example, a starter generator with field-oriented regulation, can be regulated in order to obtain a specific decrease in the degree of efficiency of the electric machine.
