  • Publication number: 20250121694
    Abstract: An electrified motor vehicle with a high-voltage storage device, at least one electric machine, power electronics, a DC/DC converter, and an electronic analysis device to perform a central component-specific energy monitoring function of defined components of a low-voltage onboard electrical system and/or defined components of a high-voltage onboard electrical system. The analysis device is designed such that a specific load signature is stored for each defined component, and a complete measurement signal which is detected outside of the defined component using a first (e.g., single) measurement sensor for the entire low-voltage onboard electrical system and/or a second (e.g., single) measurement sensor for the high-voltage onboard electrical network is disaggregated in order to detect the load signatures using non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) technology. Each complete measurement signal is purged of motor vehicle-specific electric disturbance variables by a defined correction device.

  • Patent number: 11398788
    Abstract: A drive control for a three-phase motor has an inverter with multiple switches for generating three-phase voltages on the windings of the three-phase motor, and a control device for controlling the switches of the inverter on the basis of pulse-width modulation. The control device is set up to control the switches in a switching period by using a switching pattern, wherein the switching pattern is composed of two active voltage space vectors and multiple null vectors, wherein the null vectors vary within the switching pattern.
