Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the open-/closed-loop control of a battery module of an electric vehicle and to a corresponding battery system having a plurality of battery modules. A method for the open-/closed-loop control of a battery module (12) in a battery system (10) of an electric vehicle having a plurality of battery modules (12) is correspondingly proposed, comprising the steps of: capturing battery module data (20) in each battery module (12); transmitting the battery module data (20) from a respective battery module (12) to every other battery module (12); and determining, in each battery module (12) by means of an electronic control unit of the respective battery module (12), a measure to be carried out by the respective battery module (12) on the basis of the received battery module data (20) and the battery module data (20) captured by the respective battery module (12). The logic is identical for each electronic control unit and the measure is determined independently of a master battery module (12a; 12b) of the battery modules (12).

Abstract

A method for operating a DC-DC converter (300) which contains a buck-boost converter (10) with an inductor (L) and a plurality of switching elements (S1-S4), comprises measuring a current (I) flowing through the inductor (L) and performing the following method steps: a) comparing the current with a first threshold current value (Ival), b) setting the buck-boost converter into a first switching state (BOOST ON) at the beginning of a switching cycle if the current is below the first threshold current value, or setting the buck-boost converter into a second switching state (BOOST OFF, BUCK ON) at the beginning of the switching cycle if the current is not below the first threshold current value, c) if the buck-boost converter is operated in the first switching state, comparing the current with the first threshold current value (Ival) and setting the buck-boost converter into the second switching state as soon as the current reaches the first threshold current value, d) if the buck-boost converter is operated in the second switching state, comparing the current with a second threshold current value (Ipk) which is greater than the first threshold current value and setting the buck-boost converter into the third switching state (BUCK OFF) as soon as the current reaches the second threshold current value, and repeating steps a) to d) after expiry of the predetermined period duration (Tc).

Abstract

The invention relates to an electric fluid heater (12) for use in a vehicle, having a heating element (10), wherein the heating element (10) comprises a carrier element (14) and a heat conductor layer (16) which is arranged on the carrier element (14). The heat conductor layer (16) has, in a heat conductor layer plane (18), a heat conductor path (20) which is delimited in the heat conductor layer plane (18) by at least one insulation interruption (22), wherein the heat conductor path (20) has, on an electric connection side (17) of the heat conductor layer (14), a first connection region (32) and a second connection region (34) in each of which the heat conductor path is connected in an electrically conductive manner to at least one electric connection conductor (35). The first connection region (32) and the second connection region (34) have a distance d to one another along a connection line extending in a straight line in the heat conductor layer plane (18) and the heat conductor path (20) touches and/or crosses said connection line in some sections. A first heat conductor path section (28) in the heat conductor layer plane (18) extends between the first connection region (32) and the electric connection side (17). The invention enables thermal stresses in heating operation to be reduced and the fluid heater to thus be made more durable and robust, in particular for applications with very high voltages of several hundred volts to over 1000 V and, for example, heating power of 5, 8 or 10 kW.
