Abstract

In a method for the compensation of rotor torque oscillations upon the occurrence of mains asymmetries in relation to a double-fed asynchronous machine ( 1 ) it is provided that at least one respective currently prevailing machine parameter is measured and/or derived, the at least one machine parameter is respectively decomposed by calculation into a positive and a negative sequence system component and optionally a DC component, and for the positive sequence system component, the negative sequence system component and optionally for the DC component of the at least one machine parameter, there are respective separate control members for controlling an adjusting value, to which the respective components of the machine parameters are fed as input components and the output values of which are additively superposed. In that case the control members are so adapted for controlling the adjusting value in such a way that the torque oscillations are counteracted. Alternatively there is provided a control member to which the cross-product of the positive sequence system components and negative sequence system components as well as the cross-product of the negative sequence system components and positive sequence system components are fed as an input value, the control member being so adapted for controlling the adjusting value in such a way that second-order torque oscillations are counteracted.
