Abstract

A method for regulating the speed of an internal combustion engine. According to the invention, a second regulation difference (dR 2 ) is calculated by a second filter in the event of dynamic changes of state. In this way, in the event of dynamic changes of state, a speed regulator defines a power-determining signal (ve) according to a first regulation difference (dR 1 ) and the second regulation difference (dR 2 ). The inventive method thus increases the dynamics of the control loop.

Claims (10)

1. A method for closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine, comprising the steps of: computing a first filtered actual speed (nM 1 (IST)) from an actual speed (nM(IST)) of the internal combustion engine by means of a first filter; computing a first control deviation (dR 1 ) from a set speed (nM(SL)) of the internal combustion engine and the first filtered actual speed (nM 1 (IST)); determining a power-determining signal (ve) for automatically controlling the speed of the internal combustion engine from the first control deviation (dR 1 ) by means of a speed controller; computing a second filtered actual speed (nM 2 (IST)) from the actual speed (nM(IST)) of the internal combustion engine by means of a second filter; computing a second control deviation (dR 2 ) from the set speed (nM(SL)) and the second filtered actual speed (nM 2 (IST)); and, when a dynamic change of state occurs, determining the power-determining signal (ve) for the closed-loop speed control of the internal combustion engine with the speed controller from the first control deviation (dR 1 ) and the second control deviation (dR 2 ).

2. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the second filter has a smaller filter angle than the first filter.

3. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 1 , including detecting the dynamic change in state by way of the second control deviation (dR 2 ).

4. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the second control deviation (dR 2 ) acts on a DT 1 component of the speed controller.

5. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 4 , including determining the DT 1 component from the second control deviation (dR 2 ) by way of a characteristic curve.

6. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 5 , including deactivating the DT 1 component by means of the characteristic curve if the second control deviation (dR 2 ) becomes smaller than a first limiting value (GW 1 ) (dR 2 <GW 1 ), and activating the DT 1 component by means of the characteristic curve if the second control deviation (dR 2 ) becomes greater than a second limiting value (GW 2 ) (dR 2 >GW 2 ).

7. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the second control deviation (dR 2 ) acts on a P component of the speed controller.

8. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 7 , including determining the P component from the first control deviation (dR 1 ), a first factor (kp 1 ), and a second factor (kp 2 ), with the second factor (kp 2 ) being computed from the second control deviation (dR 2 ) by way of a characteristic curve.

9. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 8 , including additionally computing the P component from the second control deviation (dR 2 ).

10. The method for the closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the first factor (kp 1 ) is either preset as a constant or computed as a function of the first filtered speed (nM 1 (IST)) and/or an I component (ve(I)).
