  • Patent number: 11955910
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method (400) for regulating an electric machine (190), comprising a harmonic filter (150), said harmonic filter (150) comprising a second filter (142) and a filter output transformer (132). The method has the steps of: ascertaining (410) a feedback variable (Idq); determining (414) a filter specification variable (FV); filtering (415) the filter specification variable (FV); ascertaining (417) a filtered feedback variable without harmonic components (IdqFunda); and energizing (480) at least one winding of the electric machine (190) on the basis of the filtered feedback variable without harmonic components (IdqFunda).

  • Publication number: 20240030852
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining correction information for an electric machine (7) which has a stator winding and a rotatably mounted rotor having multiple pole pairs, wherein a reference rotational angle (?Ref) of the rotor is selected; an actual variable influenced by a rotation of the rotor is determined and is monitored for interference waves (SW); when an interference wave (SW) is detected, an interference-wave correction instruction which is based on the reference rotational angle (?Ref) and is intended for compensating for the detected interference wave (SW), and a reference feature of the interference wave (SW) based on the reference rotational angle (?Ref) are determined; a reference rotational angle value of the reference rotational angle (?Ref) is determined on the basis of a rotational angle interval (??el) covered during an electrical revolution of the rotor; and the determined interference-wave correction instruction, the determined reference feature and the determined referenc

  • Publication number: 20220190757
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electric machine (1), in particular of a motor vehicle, that has a stator (4) and a rotor (2), wherein the stator (4) has a stator winding (5) having at least three phases (U, V, W), and wherein the rotor is arranged/arrangeable on a rotor shaft (3), wherein a time-invariant differential equation modelling the machine (1) is taken as a basis for ascertaining a desired current value (Idesired,fl) for the stator winding (5) for producing a required torque and/or a required rotation speed, wherein the desired current value (Idesired,fl) is compared with an actual current value (Iactual,fl) of the stator winding (5), which actual current value corresponds to electric phase currents (IU, IV, IW) flowing through the phases (U, V, W), and wherein the comparison is taken as a basis for passing current through the phases (U, V, W) such that a difference from the actual current value (Iactual,fl) to the desired current value (Idesired,fl) is reduced.

  • Patent number: 11358612
    Abstract: A method for controlling an automated or autonomous locomotive device, including automatically ascertaining a deviation from a predefined trajectory, the deviation requiring a return of the locomotive device to the predefined trajectory; automatically calculating a jerk as an input variable, as a function of the deviation from the predefined trajectory; automatically calculating an unconstrained correcting variable for the return to the predefined trajectory, as a function of a weighted sum that includes a weighted summand of the input variable and a weighted summand of the state for the return path; automatically calculating a constrained correcting variable regarding the jerk; the unconstrained correcting variable being manipulated via a cascade that includes multiple stages having one saturation function per stage; integrating the constrained correcting variable, to obtain a constrained return trajectory to the predefined trajectory; automatically steering the locomotive device to the predefined trajectory

  • Patent number: 11271502
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a control system for an electric machine. In order to control the electric machine, predetermined frequency components are extracted from manipulated variables or measurement variables of the electric machine and are multiplied by a previously calculated control matrix. The control matrix can be calculated in advance here. Different control matrices can be formed in advance for different applications. As a result, simple efficient and robust control of the electric machine is possible, in particular for optimising and minimising harmonics.

  • Publication number: 20200099326
    Abstract: The invention relates to the regulation of an electric machine, wherein an interference variable is compensated for and simultaneously a target value is set. In the process, two mutually independent control loops are provided. A first control loop is used to compensate for the interference variable, and a second control loop is used to set a specified target value. When the specified target value is being regulated, the control loop is decoupled from the interference variable compensation process. In this manner, a modular independent regulation can be achieved for the target value and the interference variable compensation process.
