The invention relates to a method () for controlling an inverter (), wherein the inverter () converts a DC voltage into a multi-phase AC voltage in order to power an electric machine (). The method comprises the following steps: determining () an electrical frequency (f_el) of the electric machine (); determining () a target_switching frequency (f_p_s) for a pulse-width modulation, wherein the target_switching frequency (f_p_s) is synchronous with the determined electrical frequency (f_el) of the electric machine; specifying () a target_start angle (alpha_s) of a first voltage indicator of the pulse-width modulation in relation to the stator-fixed alpha axis, or to one of the basic voltage indicators; controlling () the inverter () by means of pulse-width modulation using the determined target_switching frequency (f_p_s) and the specified target_start angle (alpha_s).

Method and apparatus for controlling an inverter

The invention relates to a method for operating an electric machine. A harmonic manipulated variable with respect to a harmonic of a predetermined frequency occurring during the energization of the electric machine is determined. The electric machine is energized using the determined harmonic manipulated variable by means of a pulse width modulation method. For each period of the pulse width modulation method, the harmonic manipulated variable is determined for both a switch-on operation and a switch-off operation.

Method and device for operating an electric machine

The invention relates to controlling an electric drive system, a control range for the switching frequency of a power converter in such a drive system being adaptable when the rotational frequency curve or the torque curve of the electrical machine is taken into account. In this way, psycho-acoustic irritations can be avoided.

Control device and control method for an electric drive system, and electric drive system

The invention relates to a method for controlling an inverter which is electrically connected to an electric motor, having the following steps: defining a modulated voltage (S) for the inverter, said voltage being based on a first switching frequency, for operating the electric motor with a current, wherein the current has an electric frequency; determining the electric frequency (S); changing the first switching frequency (S) on which the modulated voltage is based to a second switching frequency if a value pair consisting of electric frequency and first switching frequency, or a value pair consisting of electric frequency and a sideband of the first switching frequency, is within at least one defined disturbance range (S).

Method for controlling an inverter

The invention relates to an energy supply system having an energy storage device. The energy storage device has a plurality of energy storage modules that are serially connected in at least one energy supply branch, each comprising an energy storage cell module having at least one energy storage cell, and a coupling device having coupling elements configured to selectively switch the energy storage cell module into the respective energy supply branch, or to circumvent same, and comprising a plurality of driver devices, each dedicated to one of the energy storage modules, and coupled to one of the energy storage modules, and which are configured to actuate the coupling elements of the coupling devices according to a driver signal. The energy supply system further comprises a control device, which is coupled to the driver devices by way of a control signal line, and which is configured to emit a control signal to the driver devices by way of the control signal line, which is provided with a physical control signal parameter, into the value of which a control mode for the driver devices is coded. The driver devices are configured to receive the control signal, and to generate the respective driver signal subject to the value of the control signal parameter, and a control mode assignment that can be predetermined.
