Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method is provided for the power requirement-dependent operation of a generator unit mounted on an agricultural work vehicle. A power output of the generator unit is varied as a function of a determined power requirement of an electrical consumer, which is fed with the power of the generator unit of an attachment which is connected to the agricultural work vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for the power requirement-dependent operation of a generator unit mounted on an agricultural work vehicle, comprising: providing an attachment connected to the vehicle and an electrical consumer; determining a power requirement of the electrical consumer; and varying a power output of the generator unit as a function of the determined power. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the power output of the generator unit is varied by adapting an input rotational speed of the generator unit. 3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a power requirement of the attachment. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determined power requirement of the attachment is transmitted as a power demand at least indirectly to the generator unit. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the power demand is transmitted to the generator unit via the agricultural work vehicle. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generator unit transmits a rotational speed request to the agricultural work vehicle as a function of the power requirement of the attachment. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the agricultural work vehicle converts the rotational speed request into adaptation of the rotational speed of the engine or the rotational speed of the power takeoff shaft. 8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing a control unit; linking by the control unit the power requirement of the attachment, the power output of the generator unit, and the rotational speed of the engine or of the power takeoff shaft; and forming a closed-loop control circuit in which closed-loop control is carried out in such a way that the power output of the generator unit corresponds at least approximately to the power requirement of the attachment.
