Abstract
A method and a control device for regulating a drive device includes an electric motor with a motor shaft and a converter for supplying power to the electric motor. To this end, measured values of measured variables, which characterize a power loss of the drive device, are detected and a converter output voltage is adjusted depending on the detected measured values in such a way that the power loss decreases.

13. A method for regulating a drive device having an electric motor with a motor shaft and a converter for supplying power to the electric motor, said method comprising:
-
connecting an inverter of the converter to a rectifier of the converter via an intermediate circuit; detecting in every regulation time measured values of measured variables commensurate with a power loss of the drive device; determining the power loss from the measured values; adjusting a converter output voltage of the converter; adjusting by using the rectifier an intermediate circuit voltage of the intermediate circuit depending on the detected measured values in such a way that the power loss decreases; determining an output voltage target value of the converter output voltage and an intermediate circuit voltage target value of the intermediate circuit in successive regulation time intervals depending on the detected measured values; adjusting the converter output voltage to the determined output voltage target value; adjusting the intermediate circuit voltage to the determined intermediate circuit voltage target value; using an intermediate circuit voltage of the intermediate circuit as a measured variable; changing the intermediate circuit voltage target value in a stepwise manner depending on the detected measured values until a change in the power loss compared to a power loss in a preceding regulation time interval is less than a predetermined change value, or the intermediate circuit voltage reaches a predetermined intermediate circuit voltage maximum value or a predetermined intermediate circuit voltage minimum value; changing a direction of a change in the intermediate circuit voltage target value compared to a change of a direction in a preceding regulation time interval when the determined power loss is increasing compared with a power loss determined in a preceding regulation time interval; and maintaining the change of the direction when the determined power loss is decreasing compared to the power loss determined in the preceding regulation time interval. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
