  • Patent number: 10505405
    Abstract: An electric machine is provided having at least one first permanent magnet, at least one second permanent magnet, a first region, the temperature of which is in a first temperature range during operation, and a second region, the temperature of which is in a second temperature range during operation. The at least one second permanent magnet has a higher maximum working temperature than the first permanent magnet, wherein the maximum working temperature is below the temperature at which the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet irreversibly decreases in dependence on temperature and because of a magnetic field applied externally to the permanent magnet from. The first permanent magnet is arranged in the first region and the second permanent magnet is arranged in the second region.

  • Publication number: 20180342881
    Abstract: A storage system configured to deliver electric power for propulsion of a vehicle includes a first storage module with at least N first sub-modules for the storage of electrical energy, where N>1, where the first storage module includes a switching unit to connect the N sub-modules in series, forming a series circuit, when the storage system is in a charge mode, and to connect the N sub-modules in parallel, forming a parallel circuit, when the storage system is in a drive mode. The storage system also includes a second storage module with at least one second sub-module for the storage of electrical energy, where the second storage module comprises a DC voltage converter which is configured to couple the second sub-module with the first storage module. A control unit is configured to control the switching unit and the DC voltage converter.
