    摘要: Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that can facilitate an intelligent battery cell are addressed. In one example, a device can comprise: active battery cell material; and an internal circuit coupled to the active battery cell material and comprising: a circuit board; two alternating current (AC) power points; two isolated direct current (DC) power points; and a controller that can operate one or more switches on an H-bridge circuit to disconnect the device from a main battery in a bypass mode. In another example, a smart cell modulator can comprise: a set of smart battery cells; and a controller that can operate to selectively engage a subset of the smart battery cells to enable load sharing, distributed feedback control, circulate load across one or more smart battery cells of the set of smart battery cells to increase torque, and to enable speed requests.

    摘要: An apparatus includes a power converter, one or more power source terminal configured to connect to a power source, and one or more load terminal. The apparatus further includes two or more energy storage terminals configured to connect to two or more electrical energy storage devices. Two or more protection circuits, included in the apparatus, one for each of the protection circuits, is electrically connected between the respective energy storage terminal and the power converter. The two or more protection circuits are configured to disconnect the respective terminal from the power converter following a failure of the respective one of the electrical energy storage devices.

    摘要: In a power supply system, a first system includes a first power supply connected to a first load. A second system includes a second power supply connected to a second load. A connection path connects the systems. An intersystem switch is provided on the connection path. A control apparatus sets the intersystem switch to a closed state and sets a voltage of the first power supply to be higher than a voltage of the second power supply to be a first state in which power supply is performed from the first power supply to the loads. In response to a reverse-direction current from the second system to the first system flowing to the connection path in the first state, the control apparatus sets the intersystem switch to an open state to be a second state in which power supply is performed from the second power supply to the second load.

    摘要: A system and method for combining power from DC power sources. Each power source is coupled to a converter. Each converter converts input power to output power by monitoring and maintaining the input power at a maximum power point. Substantially all input power is converted to the output power, and the controlling is performed by allowing output voltage of the converter to vary. The converters are coupled in series. An inverter is connected in parallel with the series connection of the converters and inverts a DC input to the inverter from the converters into an AC output. The inverter maintains the voltage at the inverter input at a desirable voltage by varying the amount of the series current drawn from the converters. The series current and the output power of the converters, determine the output voltage at each converter.

    摘要: The power supply device with multiple outputs includes two output ports, a power converting module with two power output ends, and two switching modules connected among the two power output ends and the two output ports. The output power from the two power output ends can be independently allocated to either one or two of the two second output ports. When one of the output ports requests for a demand power, the power supply device is able to determine which one or both of the power output ends to output power to the output port, reaching a better power allocation efficiency.
