A method for generating electrical energy using a generator and its use in vehicles with anti-lock brake system

摘要

The invention relates to a method for generating electrical energy from the rotational movement of the axles of vehicles, in particular rail-bound vehicles, by means of a generator arrangement in which in addition to the generation of electrical energy the speed of rotation of the respective axis is determined. In order to provide a method for operating an axle generator arrangement and an axle generator arrangement itself as well as a use of the same which is matched thereto, with which method a separate angle of rotation sensor can be dispensed with and a safe and reliable supply of energy with as constant electrical voltage as possible is ensured in all operating situations, it is proposed that both the generation of electrical energy and the determination of the speed of rotation should take place exclusively by a generator function, the pulse parameters of each induced electrical voltage characteristic being evaluated in order to determine the speed of rotation.
