  • Energy supply system for feeding a DC link, and method for operating the system
    Patent number: 11658560
    Abstract: In a system for feeding a DC link and a method for operating the system, a sensor for detecting a current in the DC link or voltage on the DC link is connected to a controller, which activates a second converter, e.g., a DC/DC converter or current controller. A first energy storage device is connected via the second converter to the DC link, and the controller activates a third converter, e.g., a DC/DC converter or current controller. A second energy storage device is connected via the third converter to the DC link, and the first and the second energy storage devices are different, e.g., have a different dynamic behavior and/or different discharge time constants.
