Abstract

The present disclosure relates to motor vehicles. The teachings thereof may be embodied in the operation and control of an externally excited electrical generator in an on-board electrical system of a motor vehicle. An example method may include: setting the excitation voltage within the scope of regulating an actual output voltage of the generator at a predetermined setpoint output voltage of the generator; evaluating load requirements of at least one peak load consumer supplied from the on-board electrical system; identifying exceptional situations based on the load requirements; and in the event of an exceptional situation, setting an associated temporary excitation output voltage of the generator.
