Abstract: A charging station (1) for charging a vehicle battery (2A) of at least one electrically powered vehicle (2) connected to said charging station (1) by means of a pluggable charging connector (3) adapted to transfer in a charging process electrical power from said charging station (1) to the vehicle battery (2A), wherein a valve of said charging station (1) and/or of the vehicle (2) is opened before, during and/or after said charging process to supply a medium with a suitable temperature into a battery conditioning unit (2B) of the vehicle (2) to optimize the temperature of the vehicle battery (2A) for the charging process.

Abstract: A high power charging station used to exchange electrical power with a battery of an electrically powered vehicle by means of a power cable connecting the high power charging station with the vehicle, wherein the high power charging station comprises a DC/DC converter adapted to convert electrical DC power, wherein a suppression of unwanted frequencies generated by the DC/DC converter by means of electronic filters is controlled by a control unit of the high power charging station.

Abstract: A distributed charging system (1) comprising a plurality of charging stations (2) transportable by charging station transport trucks (3), wherein each charging station transport truck (3) of the distributed charging system (1) has at least one lifting mechanism (4) adapted to lift at least one charging station (2) deployed on a ground floor onto a transport platform (3A) of the charging station transport unit (3) for transport to another location, wherein each transportable charging station (2) has at least one battery pack (2D) with rechargeable battery cells adapted to store electrical energy which is used to charge batteries of electrically powered vehicles (6) connected to charging stations (2) deployed on the ground floor, wherein the housing (2A) of the portable charging station (2) comprises a ground locking interface unit (2C) adapted to lock the charging station (2) mechanically and/or electrically to a base frame (5) of the distributed charging system (1) installed on the ground floor.

Abstract: A transport unit for a distributed charging system comprising a charging station transportable by the transport unit, wherein the transport unit comprises a lifting mechanism adapted to lift a fluid exchanger onto a base frame (of the charging system installed on a ground floor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for increasing safety during charging of a vehicle battery of a vehicle by a charging station, the method comprising the steps of calculating a forecast value for a maximum safe charging current by the controller of the vehicle based on sensor data generated by sensors of the vehicle and adjusting the charging current provided by the charging station in response to the forecast value of a maximum safe charging current.

Abstract: An automated method for authoring product catalogs includes setting up a catalog database for storing and providing data for use in the authoring of the product catalogs and authoring a product content. This includes updating a product structure, including storing new data, selecting views for a product wherein the views comprise a respective hierarchical structure of objects of various types, associating the new data with respective selected views, entering product data for the objects of various types, and updating and organizing the objects, in each case, based on the respective hierarchical structure such that the product content for all required views is stored in the catalog database.
