  • Method and test bench for testing a starter motor
    Patent number: 9453781
    Abstract: To enable testing of a starter motor on a test bench with an electrical dynamometer as a replacement for a real combustion engine, a simulation unit (20) is used in which a mathematical model of the combustion engine is implemented, and the simulation unit (20) determines a new load setpoint (ns, Ts) using the mathematical model from measured actual values (?i, ni, Ti) of the operation of the electrical dynamometer (3) at every scanning time point of a regulation, which new load setpoint (ns, Ts) is fed to the regulator (21) of the electrical dynamometer.
    Type: Grant
