Abstract

A method for operating a load dependent current-generating system which supplies at least one electric drive motor with electrical energy. A power request is made to the electric drive motor, and a dynamic parameter of the current generating system and/or a simulation model, which characterizes the behaviour of the current generating system, is used for calculating the setpoint current value for the current generating system.

Claims (14)

1. A method for generating a setpoint current value for a load-dependent current-generating system which supplies an electric drive motor with electrical energy, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a power request (LA) to the electric drive motor;

providing at least one of a dynamic parameter of the current-generating system and a simulation model which characterizes behavior of the current-generating system; and

calculating a setpoint current value (I setp ) as a function of said at least one of said dynamic parameter of the current generating system and said simulation model wherein a rotational speed (n) of the electric drive motor at a given time and a torque (M) of the electric drive motor are additionally used for calculating the setpoint current value (I setp ) of the current-generating system wherein the setpoint current value (I setp ) for the current generating system is determined from the torque (M) of the electric drive motor and from the sum of the rotational speed (n) of the electric drive motor at a given time and a predictive rotational speed difference (Δn pre ).

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein dynamics of the rotational speed (Δn) of the electric drive motor at a given time are additionally used for calculating the setpoint current value (I setp ) of the current-generating system.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a time constant, scaled with a timing clock (ΔT), of the current-generating system (T SE-scal ) is used as a dynamic parameter.

4. The method according to claim 1 , the predictive rotational speed difference (Δn pre ) is generated from said at least the dynamic parameter and the simulation model of the current-generating system and from the dynamics of the rotational speed (Δn) of the electric drive motor at a given time.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predictive rotational speed difference (Δn pre ) is generated from the dynamic parameter of the current generating system and the dynamics of the rotational speed (Δn) of the electric drive motor at a given time by means of multiplication.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one of instantaneous torque at a given time or a setpoint torque of the electric drive motor is used as torque (M).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the current-generating system is a fuel cell system.

8. A method for generating a setpoint current value for a load-dependent current-generating system which supplies an electric drive motor with electrical energy, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a power request (LA) to the electric drive motor;

providing at least one of a dynamic parameter of the current-generating system and a simulation model which characterizes behavior of the current-generating system; and

calculating a setpoint current value (L setp ) as a function of said at least one of said dynamic parameter of the current generating system and said simulation model wherein dynamics of the rotational speed (Δn) of the electric drive motor at a given time are additionally used for calculating the setpoint current value (I setp ) of the current-generating system wherein the dynamics of the rotational speed (Δn) of the electric drive motor at a given time are determined by the differentiation of the rotational speed (n) of the electric drive motor at said given time.
