Method for determining a power limiting value for an electric machine in a vehicle, computer program and control unit for controlling an electric machine in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an electric machine in a vehicle, wherein the electric machine is assigned an energy storage device, and wherein the electric machine is supplied with power from the energy storage device in a motor mode and energy is stored in the energy storage device in a generator mode of the electric machine, the method comprising:
- determining a power limiting value for the electric machine, wherein the determining of the power limiting value includes;
calculating an intermediate power value from a maximally allowable current of the energy storage device and an instantaneous voltage;
determining a corrected intermediate power value by a pilot control unit in the vehicle by adding at least one power loss value to the calculated intermediate power value;
determining a first correction value by a second control unit in the vehicle for reducing the absolute value of the corrected intermediate power value if the absolute value of an instantaneous power of the energy storage device is greater than the calculated intermediate power value; and
determining the power limiting value by superimposing, one of additively or multiplicatively, the first correction value on the corrected intermediate power value.

Abstract
In a method for determining a power limiting value for an electric machine in a vehicle, the electric machine being assigned an energy storage device, an intermediate power value is calculated from a maximally allowable current of the energy storage device and an instantaneous voltage. A corrected intermediate power value is determined by adding at least one power loss to the intermediate power value. A first correction value is determined for reducing the absolute value of the corrected intermediate power value if an instantaneous power of the energy storage device is greater than the absolute value of the calculated intermediate power value. The power limiting value is determined by superimposing the first correction value on the corrected intermediate power value.
