Abstract: An installation and a method for charging an electric battery for an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle comprises an on-board computer. The installation comprises a main power source delivering a charging power Pc1. The charging method comprises the step of determining the charging power Pc to be delivered to the electric battery in relation to a charging voltage and/or current set point demanded at an instant t by the onboard computer. The charging power is compared against the charging power Pc1 delivered by a main power source. If Pc>Pc1, at least one auxiliary power source delivering a charging power Pc2 is utilized in addition to the main power source such that the sum of the charging powers delivered by the power sources is equal to the charging power Pc.

Abstract: The device includes a set of electronic switches having a common structure and forming modules for converting electrical energy and a power DC bus onto which the modules are connected in parallel. These modules are controlled by a control circuit so as to supply electrical energy originating from external sources of energy over the power DC bus or to extract electrical energy over this bus to recharge batteries. The device includes at least one AC-DC conversion module configured for carrying out the rectification of an AC line supply and for powering the DC bus, a DC-DC conversion module configured for charging a user battery from the DC bus and a DC-DC conversion module configured for alternatively allowing the recharging of a storage battery from the DC bus or the discharge of the same battery over the latter. The various modules are mounted onto an accommodation structure forming a heat dissipator.
