Abstract
The method determining one or more components of a number of components which can be driven in parallel according to power requirements. A wear value of a respective component is ascertained in dependence on ambient conditions, operating states, the supply voltage, and/or the supply current. An optimal number of components to be operated in parallel is ascertained for a current power requirement and is compared with the currently operated number of components. If the number of currently operated components is greater than the optimal number, the component with the greatest wear value is deactivated. If the number of currently operated components is less than the optimal number, the component or components which can be activated in principle are ascertained and then the activatable component with the lowest wear value is activated.
