Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé d'alimentation électrique intelligents et évolutifs capables d'alimenter une charge définie pour une période spécifiée. Plusieurs entrées CC et CA externes alimentent le système si cela est possible et requis. Une entrée CC interne d'une source d'énergie de secours est embarquée. La source d'énergie de secours est évolutive en ajoutant des cartouches d'énergie supplémentaires, comme des batteries dans des racks montés dans des cadres du système. Les entrées CA et CC (comprenant la source CC interne) sont contrôlées, mesurées, captées et converties par le circuit commandé par le micro-processeur en plusieurs sorties CA ou CC. Un micro-processeur gère l'entrée d'alimentation vers et dans la sortie du système. Les performances de batteries ion-lithium utilisées pour alimenter une automobile peuvent être déterminées sur la base de blocs-batteries individuels ou de cellules de batteries individuelles dans les blocs. Ceci permet aux grappes ou groupes de batteries ion-lithium d'être utilisés dans un véhicule, de sorte que ces grappes fonctionnent comme une cuve de 'gaz' et, de manière plus appropriée, comme une cuve 'd'énergie'.
