Patent number: 11876242Abstract: A module layer and to a battery system made therefrom, which, as a device for supplying and storing electrical energy between two final end components, comprises a number of battery modules that are electrically connected to one another in series. Each module here consists of a number of elementary cells, which are generally lithium-ion batteries. The module layer is embodied as a structural unit, wherein the cells in the module layer are positioned next to one another in a tray, in an upright position on a base element of the tray, and are enclosed by an outer frame that is embodied as a heat sink and constitutes the rim of the tray, the outer frame has a seal, and the module layer has a section of a central shaft into which bus bars protrude, which produce a conductive connection with the cells of the respective module layer.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: ElringKlinger AGInventors: Jochen Hantschel, Tobias Schmidt

Publication number: 20220294042Abstract: A control device for a battery storage device, which is equipped with components of the electronics system, e.g. battery management system and current measurement shunt, and with components of the electromechanical system, e.g. in the form of relays, fuses, bus bars, and plug connectors, and is accommodated in a closed housing. In order to create a control device in which a predetermined service life can be reliably achieved even without an oversizing of components, it is proposed for the closed housing to be embodied to form a free and/or forced convection, it being possible for the convection to balance out temperature differences inside the housing and throughout the control device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: ElringKlinger AGInventor: Jochen HANTSCHEL

Patent number: 9467070Abstract: The invention relates to a device and to a method for monitoring a decentralized power generation plant for feeding into a three-phase network in order to prevent undesired island network operation, wherein the power generation plant has an inverter, which produces three alternating currents phase-shifted from each other from an input-side direct voltage, in particular of a photovoltaic generator, which alternating currents are fed into the network. The basis of the monitoring method is that the target power value for a designated phase of the network alternating voltage is changed, e.g. reduced, by a predetermined first amount for a predetermined time period while the target power values for the other two phases are changed in the opposite direction, e.g. increased, by a predetermined second and/or third amount. The sum of the second and third amounts equals the first amount.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: AEI Power GmbHInventors: Jochen Hantschel, Felix Martin

Patent number: 9118212Abstract: An inverter system (1) for a photovoltaic solar installation for generating an AC voltage from a DC voltage of a solar generator (2) is provided which includes an additional energy storage device (38) which is arranged in an energy transfer path that can be activated when needed. A control arrangement (31, 39) for monitoring and controlling the operation of the inverter system (1) is designed to detect short-term energy peaks of the insolation at the solar generator and, upon a presence of insolation peaks, to activate the energy transfer path (36) in order to cause a transfer of energy from the solar generator (2) to the energy storage device (38). Also a method for the operation of an inverter system for a photovoltaic solar installation for the utilization of insolation peaks at the solar generator is disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: REFUSOL GMBHInventor: Jochen Hantschel

Publication number: 20140306544Abstract: A photovoltaic system for converting a DC voltage from a photovoltaic generator into an AC voltage, includes a transformerless power inverter which comprises high-frequency-clocked switching units, the DC voltage input of which is connected to the photovoltaic generator, and the AC voltage output of which is connected to a series circuit consisting of a bias generating device and an inductive HF decoupling device. The bias generating device is used to apply a bias potential to the AC voltage output of the power inverter, said bias potential also indirectly influencing the voltage potential at the DC voltage input of the power inverter. The inductive HF decoupling device is used for the HF decoupling of the AC voltage side from the DC voltage side of the power inverter in order to prevent capacitive discharge currents to the photovoltaic generator due to the use of the bias generating device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2012Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: REFUSOL GMBHInventors: Jochen Hantschel, Steffen Notz

Patent number: 8749092Abstract: A photovoltaic system includes a first and a second photovoltaic generator (9, 11) which delivers electric energy, an inverter (4) which can be coupled to the PV-generators (9, 11) for converting electric energy of the PV generators (9, 11) to output AC energy, and a switchable coupling arrangement (3) for coupling the PV generators (9, 11) to each other and to the inverter (4). The coupling arrangement (3) is arranged functionally between the PV generators (9, 11) and the inverter (4) and designed to connect the PV generators selectively either in a series circuit arrangement or a parallel circuit arrangement to the inverter (4). The PV system (1) can therefore expediently be operated with an intermediate circuit voltage which is higher than the maximum voltage of one PV generator for achieving improved efficiency whereas it can be switched to a lower intermediate circuit voltage when necessary, for example, in case of a ground connection fault, to maintain predetermined voltage limits.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Refu Elektronik GmbHInventors: Jochen Hantschel, Felix Martin
