Energy supply system, aircraft or spacecraft and method

摘要

An energy supply system, an aircraft and spacecraft using such an energy supply system and a method for providing electrical energy with the energy supply system. The energy supply system comprises an energy source which generates a direct current or a direct voltage. A converter is coupled to the energy source and is designed to convert the generated direct current or the generated direct voltage into an output current specified for the energy supply system or an output voltage specified for the energy supply system. A switching device is designed to couple an output of the energy supply system to the converter or directly to the energy source as a function of the electrical power required by the energy supply system.

1. An energy supply system, comprising:
an energy source, which generates a direct current or a direct voltage, a converter coupled to the energy source and configured to convert the generated direct current or the generated direct voltage into an output current specified for the energy supply system or an output voltage specified for the energy supply system, and a switching device configured to couple an output of the energy supply system to the converter or directly to the energy source via a bypass device as a function of the electrical power required by the energy supply system, wherein the switching device comprises a switch, a voltage sensor configured to record an electrical voltage at the energy source, and a control device configured to control the switch as a function of the recorded voltage such that the output of the energy supply system is either coupled indirectly to the energy source via the converter or directly to the energy source via the bypass device, and wherein the control device comprises a first operating mode in which the output of the energy supply system is indirectly coupled to the energy source via the converter, the control device configured to control the switch in the first operating mode in such a way that the output of the energy supply system is coupled directly to the energy source via the bypass device if the absolute value of the recorded voltage is lower than a first voltage threshold.
