Abstract: In electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), interruption of charging due to overheating is prevented by adjusting the pulse duty cycle on the control pilot conductor communicating the maximum allowed current level to the electric vehicle, the adjustment being performed whenever the EVSE temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature below the maximum operating temperature as a function of the approach of the temperature to the maximum operating temperature.

Abstract: A method for managing the temperature of a battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle includes recording a temperature value at which the cooling or heating of the battery is triggered. The method further includes, for two consecutive values in a predefined sequence of states of charge: a step of comparing a real gradient to a reference gradient of the battery temperature; and a step of modifying, depending on the comparison, the value of the trigger temperature, or the value of the power output by cooling or heating the battery; and also includes applying the modified trigger temperature or output power for the following two consecutive values of the state of charge of the battery in the predefined sequence.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a lower voltage set-point, an upper voltage set-point, a temperature-dependent upper current set-point, a time limit value, and a lower current hysteresis threshold set-point based on a measured temperature of a battery. A charge current from a battery charging circuit is provided. If a charge voltage is above the lower voltage set-point and below the upper voltage set-point and the charge current exceeds the temperature-dependent upper current set-point, timer is started. If the timer reaches a time limit value while the charge current exceeds the temperature-dependent upper current set-point and the charge voltage is between the lower voltage set-point and the upper voltage set-point, the charge current is reduced.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a state of charge of a vehicle battery in order to ensure the starting capability of the vehicle. A battery temperature prediction for the vehicle battery is determined and the battery temperature prediction is used to determine a lower state-of-charge limit of the vehicle battery. The amount of charge in the vehicle battery is controlled in such a way that the state of charge of the battery at least does not fall below the lower state-of-charge limit. Data of a navigation system integrated in the vehicle or coupled to the vehicle are taken into account in the determination of the battery temperature prediction.

Abstract: An energy storage apparatus for an onboard electrical system of a motor vehicle has a first electrical energy store characterized by a first voltage characteristic curve defining the quiescent voltage of the first store depending on the relative state of charge of the first store, and a second electrical energy store which can be connected in parallel with the first electrical energy store by a controllable switching element and which is characterized by a second voltage characteristic curve defining the quiescent voltage of the second electrical energy store depending on the relative state of charge of the second store. A first voltage value range covered by the first voltage characteristic curve and a second voltage value range which is covered by the second voltage characteristic curve partially overlap. The energy storage apparatus further has a device for determining the state of charge of the first energy store and/or of the second energy store. The device establishes the state of charge either by a quiescent voltage measurement device or by a state of charge determination device by balancing a respective battery current. The device opens the controllable switching element when the motor vehicle is in a state similar to the quiescent state and a quality value determined during a previous state of charge determination process in parallel with the state of charge and expressing the quality of the balancing exceeds a predefined threshold value. When the two criteria are fulfilled, the quiescent voltage measurement device for determining the state of charge of at least the first energy store is activated.

Abstract: A cooling system for cooling a device (150), e.g. a battery, within a vehicle (100), especially a hybrid electric vehicle, the cooling system comprising: a first cooling subsystem (180) for cooling the device (150) and having a relatively low rate of energy consumption, e.g. an ambient air-based cooling apparatus, a second cooling subsystem (182) for cooling the device (150) and having a relatively high rate of energy consumption, e.g. a refrigeration-based cooling apparatus, evaluation means (190P, 190R) comprising predictive evaluation means (190P) for providing a predictive output responsive to a determination whether a temperature of the device (150) will exceed a first prescribed threshold value within a prescribed period of time, an evaluation output of the evaluation means (190P, 190R) being dependent on at least the predictive output of the predictive evaluation means (190P), assessment means (190A) for providing an assessment output responsive to a determination whether the temperature of the device (150) is lowerable by the first cooling subsystem (180) alone, and control means for selectively controlling actuation of the first cooling subsystem (180) or the second cooling subsystem (182) in dependence on the evaluation output of the evaluation means (190P, 190R) and the assessment output of the assessment means (190A). By use of the combined evaluation methodology to operate the lower-energy cooling subsystem (180) in a pre-emptive manner, before or unless the higher-energy cooling subsystem (182) is actually needed, a more energy efficient system is achieved.
