  • Method of and control system for operating a circuit arrangement of a vehicle
    Patent number: 10787080
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of and control system for operating a circuit arrangement, in particular a circuit arrangement of an electric vehicle for inductive power transfer to the vehicle. The circuit arrangement includes at least one phase line with at least one field receiving arrangement and at least one compensating arrangement with a variable reactance, wherein at least one current-dependent cost function is evaluated, wherein the reactance is varied such that the cost function is optimized.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 29, 2020
    Assignee: Bombardier Primove GmbH
    Inventors: Rinaldo Arnold, Robert Czainski
  • Circuit arrangement and method of operating a circuit arrangement
    Patent number: 9809124
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement, in particular a circuit arrangement of an electric vehicle for inductive power transfer to the vehicle includes a pick-up arrangement and at least one variable compensating arrangement. The variable compensating arrangement includes a capacitive element, a first switching element and a second switching element. The first switching element and the second switching element are connected in series, and the series connection of the first and the second switching element is connected in parallel to the capacitive element of the variable compensating arrangement. Also disclosed is a method of operating the circuit arrangement and a method of manufacturing the circuit arrangement of the electric vehicle and the electric vehicle.
