Abstract
A method for error-compensated current measurement of an electrical accumulator, including: providing a time window-related estimated charge ascertained by a model-based estimator from operating variables of the accumulator and reflecting the estimated charge that has been withdrawn from the accumulator and supplied to the accumulator within the time window; and detecting the accumulator current supplied to the accumulator and withdrawn from the accumulator during the time window, with a current detection sensor. A zero crossing point in time (estimated charge is essentially zero) and a maximum point in time (the absolute value of the estimated charge essentially has a relative maximum or has a value which is greater than a minimum charge difference) are detected. A current measurement offset error is ascertained at the zero crossing point in time by comparing the estimated charge to the detected accumulator current. The accumulator current is ascertained according to the current measurement offset error, and a current measurement scaling error is ascertained at the maximum point in time by comparing the estimated charge to the detected accumulator current. The ascertained current measurement offset error is subtracted from the comparison result thus obtained, and the accumulator current is compensated for based on the current measurement scaling error. A related device for error-compensated current measurement is also described.

11. A method for providing error-compensated current measurement of an electrical accumulator, the method comprising:
-
providing a time window-related estimated charge, which is ascertained by a model-based estimator from operating variables of the accumulator and which reflects the estimated charge that has been withdrawn from the accumulator and has been supplied to the accumulator within the time window; detecting the accumulator current supplied to the accumulator and withdrawn from the accumulator during the time window, with a current detection sensor; detecting a zero crossing point in time at which the absolute value of the estimated charge or the accumulator current is less than a maximum value; detecting a maximum point in time at which the absolute value of the estimated charge or the accumulator current essentially has a relative maximum or has a value which is greater than a minimum value; ascertaining a current measurement offset error at the zero crossing point in time by comparing the estimated charge to the detected accumulator current; compensating for the accumulator current according to the current measurement offset error; ascertaining a current measuring scaling error at the maximum point in time by comparing the estimated charge to the detected accumulator current; subtracting the ascertained current measurement offset error from the comparison result thus obtained; and compensating for the accumulator current based on the current measurement scaling error. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A device for providing error-compensated current measurement of an electrical accumulator, comprising:
-
a model-based estimator configured to provide an estimated charge which is related to a time window, and which is connected to the operating variable input; a current signal input configured for connection to an accumulator current measuring device which outputs a current signal which represents the accumulator current during the time window, which is supplied to the accumulator and is withdrawn from the accumulator; an operating variable input for at least one operating variable of the accumulator; a zero crossing comparator, connected to the estimator, which compares the estimated charge or the accumulator current to a maximum value in order to ascertain a zero crossing point in time; a maximum comparator, connected to the estimator, which compares the absolute value of the estimated charge or the accumulator current to a minimum value, or which compares estimated charges or detected accumulator currents of two, three, or more than three successive time windows to one another to determine a point in time of a scaling error detection based on the difference; an offset error ascertainment unit which includes an offset error subtraction unit which is configured to subtract the estimated charge, provided by the estimator, from the accumulator current at the zero crossing point in time which is provided by the zero crossing comparator, to provide the current measurement offset error as the result of the subtraction; a scaling error ascertainment unit which includes an offset error subtraction unit which is configured to subtract the current measurement offset error, provided by the offset error ascertainment unit, from the accumulator current or from the time integral of the accumulator current to compensate for the offset error of the accumulator current, the scaling error ascertainment unit also including a ratio unit which is configured to provide a ratio of the compensated accumulator current to the estimated charge as the scaling error; and a compensation unit configured to compensate for the provided offset error of the accumulator current, and to compensate for the scaling error of the accumulator current which has been compensated for with regard to the offset error. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
