Method for operating a brake system for a motor vehicle and corresponding brake system

Abstract

A method for operating a brake system for a motor vehicle, wherein the brake system comprises an eddy current brake mechanically coupled to at least one wheel of the motor vehicle for providing a braking force acting on the wheel, wherein an electric machine is mechanically coupled or can be coupled to the wheel and is electrically connected to the eddy current brake. In this case, it is provided that, in an emergency braking mode for braking the wheel, the eddy current brake is supplied in parallel with energy provided by means of the electric machine operating as a generator and with electrical energy taken from an energy accumulator. The disclosure furthermore relates to a brake system for a motor vehicle.
