METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ALTERNATOR FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERING A CONFIGURED ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR FOR COMPRESSING AIR AT THE INTAKE OF A THERMAL MOTOR

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a rotary electric machine (15) operating as an alternator when driven by a heat engine, the electric machine (15) being part of an electric circuit (1) also including a power storage unit (10) and an electric compressor (11) configured to compress the air at the intake of the heat engine, the electric circuit (1) being configured such as to selectively enable the supply of power to the electric compressor (11) by means of: a first power supplied by the power storage unit (10); and a second power from the rotary electric machine (15) when driven by the heat engine, method wherein the value of the voltage supplied by the rotary electric machine (15) is controlled on the basis of at least the charging status of the power storage unit (10) and the speed of the heat engine.
