    摘要: An embodiment relates to a method for predicting a voltage dip in a vehicle electrical system before a planned start of a load in a motor vehicle. The embodiment operates to ascertain a value of supply current expected to be required after the start of the load. An electrical voltage source and an energy store connected in parallel to a voltage source via the vehicle electrical system provide the supply current for operating the load. The energy store blocks a charge current into the energy store or blocks a discharge current out of the energy store based on a vehicle electrical system voltage of the vehicle electrical system being greater than a maximum value. Based on an instantaneous value of the vehicle electrical system voltage, the embodiment further ascertains a proportion of the supply current that the voltage source generates as a source current without the energy store until the vehicle electrical system voltage has fallen to the maximum value.

    摘要: A multi-source energy storage system, it includes a first energy storage system, a second energy storage system, and a second DC/DC converter and controller and a method for supplying power to an electrical load from multiple energy storage systems. The first energy storage system can be coupled to an electrical load. The second DC/DC converter and controller can be coupled between at least one of the following: a second energy storage system and a first energy storage system or electrical load. The controller settings control the first and second energy storage systems and the second DC/DC converter runs in both precharge mode and normal mode. In the precharge mode, the first energy storage system charges the second energy storage system via the second DC/DC converter. In normal mode, the second energy storage is coupled to the electrical load via the second DC/DC converter.
