  • Patent number: 11539318
    Abstract: A method determines a correction value for a control device for an electric machine, which describes an angular difference between a position of a d-axis of the electric machine and an actual position of the d-axis. The correction value is determined in a rotating state of a rotor of the electric machine as a function of a d voltage value describing a d component of a stator voltage specified by the control device in the initial configuration, of a q voltage value describing a q component of the stator voltage specified by the control device in the initial configuration, of a flux value describing a magnetic flux of the rotor, a speed value describing the speed of the rotor in the rotating state, and of a calibration value describing a speed-dependent voltage error of the d component of the stator voltage.

  • Patent number: 11258396
    Abstract: Method for operating a power converter for a permanently excited electric machine, wherein temperature information, which describes a temperature of at least one permanent magnet of the electric machine, is determined by means of an observer as a function of operating parameters of the electric machine, and the power converter is controlled as a function of the temperature information, wherein a computing device, which handles processes in time slices, carries out a first process in a first time slice for detecting parameter values for determining the operating parameters and carries out a second process, which determines the temperature information, in a second time slice, which is retrieved less frequently than the first time slice.
