Abstract: A system for storing electrical energy is specified, comprising a plurality of storage cells having an operating voltage, wherein an electrical load and a switching element in series with the load are arranged parallel to the storage cell. The switching element being closed upon reaching or exceeding a threshold voltage. The system further comprises a control device, which is configured to influence the threshold voltage in response to a temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for storing electrical energy, comprising a plurality of storage cells (12). A switch (16) and an electrical resistor (14) connected in series thereto are connected in parallel to each of the storage cells. At least one switching unit (T) closes each individual switch as soon as the storage cell located parallel to said switch exceeds a specified voltage. There is additionally a time-switch unit (T) that holds each closed switch closed for a specified time after closing has once occurred.

Abstract: A roof module is used for mounting on a roof of a vehicle. It comprises a self-supporting support frame on which components are mounted. The support frame is arranged independently of the vehicle roof. The components comprise at least electric energy storage modules. A shielding plate is arranged on the support frame between the electric energy storage modules and the vehicle roof.

Abstract: In an electric or hybrid vehicle drive having an electric machine, which can be operated either as a motor or as a generator, and includes an electronic power system, wherein a power source is connected to a direct voltage terminal of the electronic power system, and the electric machine is connected to an alternating voltage terminal thereof, an inverting, bidirectional DC/DC transformer is connected between the direct voltage terminal of the electronic power system and the power source providing the electric machine with a voltage in the motor mode of the electric machine, which is higher than, or equal to or lower than, the voltage of the power source, and the DC/DC transformer for charging the power source in the generator mode of the electric machine.
