  • Circuit arrangement for a vehicle electrical system of an electrically driven motor vehicle and method for operating a circuit arrangement of this type
    Patent number: 11560068
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement (24) for a vehicle electrical system of an electrically driven motor vehicle (42), comprising: a high-voltage battery (26) for supplying power to an electrical drive machine (28) of the motor vehicle (42); a range extender (22), which is designed to charge the high-voltage battery (26) and which has a plurality of identical fuel-cell base modules (10) having interfaces for supplying reactants in the form of hydrogen and air; a switching device (32) for connecting the range extender (22), the circuit arrangement (42) having no DC-to-DC converter; a control device (36) which is designed to carry out the following steps after the control device has received an activation signal regarding the range extender (22): determining an operating point of the range extender (22) in dependence on at least one variable of the high-voltage battery (26); defining a setpoint value regarding the supply of the reactants to the fuel-cell base modules (10) and/or a setpoint value rega

  • MODULAR RANGE EXTENDER SYSTEM FOR AN ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN MOTOR VEHICLE, AND ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A RANGE EXTENDER
    Publication number: 20220212549
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular range extender system (20) for an electrically driven motor vehicle (52), comprising a plurality of fuel cell basic modules (10), which each have a plurality of fuel cells connected in series and interfaces for supplying hydrogen and air as well as for discharging water and residual gas; a media supply device, which is designed to supply air and hydrogen to the fuel cell basic modules (10) via the interfaces and to discharge water and residual gas from the fuel cell basic modules (10) via the interfaces, wherein, in order to provide different outputs and/or voltages, different numbers of the fuel cell basic modules (10) are electrically connectable to one another in different series and/or parallel circuits and are configurable with the media supply device to form different variants of the range extender (22).
