  • Publication number: 20260045616
    Abstract: This system comprises one of the battery modules coupled to at least one control device and formed of battery cells arranged in parallel coherent strings of battery cells, the battery modules being distributed in two independent networks including a high-voltage network and a low-voltage network coupled in series, the low-voltage network including a battery module including a first sub-network and a second sub-network electrically separated from the first sub-network by a physical separation element arranged on the battery module of said low-voltage network, characterised in that each battery module of the high-voltage network includes a number of parallel coherent strings of battery cells equal to the number of parallel coherent strings of battery cells of each battery module of the first sub-network.

  • Patent number: 12476561
    Abstract: An electrical converter includes an inverter configured to provide at least one input AC voltage from an input DC voltage. The electrical converter further includes an AC-to-AC voltage converter configured to provide an output AC voltage from the at least one input AC voltage such that the output AC voltage has an amplitude that depends on a frequency of the at least one input AC voltage. A rectifier designed is configured to provide an output DC voltage from the output AC voltage.

  • Patent number: 10958724
    Abstract: Electrical distribution system for an aircraft comprising at least one computer communicating with the avionics (2), at least one computer (1) suitable for communicating with at least one computer communicating with the avionics (2), each computer containing stored data. The system comprises a context information storage device (4), suitable for storing a copy of the data stored in the different computers, and an updating device, suitable for determining that a computer has been replaced by determining that it does not hold the same data as the other computers of the distribution system and/or as the context information storage device (4), the updating device being suitable for controlling the downloading of the data from the context information storage device or from a computer communicating with the avionics, into the replaced computer.
