Patent ID: 7352072

Claim:
A method for closed-loop speed control of an internal combustion engine-generator unit with a coupling during a starting operation, comprising the steps of: using a first set of parameters (PARA 1 ) to select a first run-up ramp (HLR 1 ) for the set point assignment of a set speed (nM(SL)); using first controller parameters (TN 1 , kp 1 , Tv 1 ) for computing controller components of a speed controller; and, during the starting operation after a start of the first run-up ramp (HLR 1 ), selecting a second set of parameters (PARA 2 ) when it is detected that the coupling has engaged, and deactivating the first set of parameters (PARA 1 ), whereby the second set of parameters (PARA 2 ) is used to set a second run-up ramp (HLR 2 ) which determines the presetting of the set speed (nM(SL)), and to set second controller parameters (TN 2 , kp 2 , Tv 2 ) as material for computing controller components of the speed controller.
