  • Patent number: 6252381
    Abstract: A method is described for regulating a generator, in particular a three-phase generator which has an excitation coil through which the regulatable excitation current (IE) used to generate the excitation field flows, and has stator coils in which currents are produced that are conveyed to the consumers via pulse inverters. By controlling the pulse inverters, the stator current can be impressed with respect to value and phase in relation to the excitation current so that the output power of the generator is optimized in the required speed range.

  • Patent number: 6111386
    Abstract: A method for controlling an asynchronous machine which is operated below a cutoff frequency in the base speed region with variable magnetization current and above a cutoff frequency in a field control speed region is provided. The maximum possible fundamental oscillation of a stator voltage is determined from a existing intermediate circuit voltage or battery voltage and a stator current is defined as a setpoint and impressed onto the asynchronous machine. A calculation is made of a rotor frequency needed, with that definition of the stator voltage to impress the current setpoint. A rotor frequency which corresponds to the current setpoint is compared via a control characteristic curve to the calculated rotor frequency and that rotor frequency value which is the greater of the two is used to determine the current setpoint. The method is advantageously performed with a microprocessor, with which the calculation algorithm may be executed rapidly, effectively, and contemporaneously.
