Abstract

A method for generating a current set point value for a charging device connected to an electrical network includes measuring at least one electrical voltage, calculating a filtered voltage according to the measured voltage and a value of electrical pulsation of the electrical network, estimating a frequency and the amplitude of the measured voltage according to the at least one measured voltage and the at least one filtered voltage, calculating a consolidated voltage according to the measured voltage and the filtered voltage, and generating a current set point value according to the consolidated voltage and the estimated amplitude.
