BATTERY SYSTEM HAVING AN INTERMEDIATE CIRCUIT VOLTAGE WHICH CAN BE SET IN A VARIABLE FASHION

摘要

A battery system includes a battery, a DC voltage intermediate circuit connected to the battery, an inverter connected to the DC voltage intermediate circuit and an electric motor connected to the inverter. The DC voltage intermediate circuit includes a capacitor, and the battery includes a battery module line having a plurality of battery modules which are connected in series, and a control unit. Each battery module includes a coupling unit and at least one battery cell which is connected between a first input and a second input of the coupling unit. The coupling unit is configured to connect the at least one battery cell between a first terminal of the battery module and a second terminal of the battery module in response to a first control signal, and to connect the first terminal to the second terminal in response to a second control signal.
