  • Patent number: 9994237
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical vehicle (100), including an electric engine (102) and on-board energy storage means (104, 106) that are electrically connected to the engine in order to supply same with electrical energy, in which the energy storage means include a first energy storage module (104) including at least one supercapacitor, and a second energy storage module (106) including at least one battery, the first and the second energy storage modules (104,106) being arranged on parallel electrical branches, the vehicle including interconnection means (108), arranged between the energy storage means (104, 106) and the engine (102), capable of electrically connecting the two electrical arms to the engine (102) and configured such that a single one of the two electrical arms is connected to the engine (102) at a time. The invention also relates to a facility comprising the vehicle (100) and at least one station (200) for recharging the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20160336768
    Abstract: The invention is aimed at a method of managing a plurality of energy storage assemblies (18A-18C, 20) intended to provide the electrical energy to an object to be powered (16) during a discharge phase, the storage assemblies being linked electrically in parallel, at least one DC current converter (22, 24) being interposed between the energy storage assemblies and the object to be powered, so that the energy originating from each storage assembly is converted in a manner independent of that originating from the other assemblies, the method being characterized in that during the discharge phase: at least one parameter relating to each storage assembly is measured, as a function of the parameters measured for all the assemblies and of at least one output power relating to the object to be powered, there is determined for the or each converter at least one setpoint relating to a respective electrical quantity at output, so that a distinct setpoint is associated with each of the assemblies, the converter or conver
