  • Patent number: 11851038
    Abstract: An emergency energy store for a vehicle. Multiple electrical energy storage devices may feed electrical power in parallel into an electrical power supply network of a vehicle with the aid of separate voltage converters in each case. An electromechanical brake booster for a vehicle, a braking and/or steering system for a vehicle, and a power supply system for a vehicle, are also provided. A manufacturing method for an emergency energy store of a vehicle is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11283115
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining a status of a thermal connection of at least one component within an electrical energy storage system to a heat source or heat sink, wherein the electrical energy storage system has at least one electrical energy storage unit, comprising the following steps: a) determining (S11) a temperature of the at least one component; b) determining (S12) a temperature of the heat source or heat sink, in particular a cooling plate; and c) determining (S13) the status of the thermal connection of the at least one component to the heat source or heat sink based on the temperature of the at least one component and the temperature of the heat source or heat sink. The invention also relates to a corresponding device and a corresponding electrical energy storage system.

  • Patent number: 11063455
    Abstract: A method and system for adapting the voltage supplied by a high performance electrochemical storage device provide for: supplying a voltage for a load using a high-performance electrochemical storage device; monitoring the temperature of the high-performance electrochemical storage device; an adapting the voltage supplied by the high-performance electrochemical storage device as a function of a change in the monitored temperature thereof in a way that counters a change in the value of the power density of the high-performance electrochemical storage device attributable to the temperature change.
