  • Patent number: 11279249
    Abstract: A method and a circuit arrangement for unlocking a charging plug in an emergency designed for a charging station for charging an electric energy storage of an electric vehicle, having a locking mechanism activated by an electric-motor drive unit. An emergency unlocking controller is a self-sufficient functional block in conjunction with a step-up converter for supplying the electric-motor drive unit with power, the input voltage of the step-up converter stepped up to the nominal voltage of the electric motor. A microcontroller controls and monitors the electric-motor drive unit and the step-up converter and for communicating with a superordinate locking controller generally disposed in the charging station. The step-up converter allows nearly the entire electric energy stored in the storage capacitor connected upstream of the step-up converter to be supplied to the electric-motor drive unit, whereby the motor can be operated at its required nominal voltage.

  • Patent number: 11097630
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing the energy demand of a charging station for an electric vehicle having an energy storage device, a charging power being supplied and controlled conductively via a charging connection line with the aim of providing a largest possible (current) control potential in order to attain grid stability for the power supply system. An anticipated parking duration and a desired energy amount are recorded as power-specific vehicle data and customer-specific data. Based on the aforementioned data, a charging plan is established which can follow different charging strategies according to the invention which dictate the temporal progress of the charging power while parking.
