RECONFIGURABLE HYBRID ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A method for reconfiguring a reconfigurable energy storage system, the method comprising:
- determining a first power level corresponding to a state of charge of a first energy storage system for storing electrical energy;
determining a second power level corresponding to a state of charge of a second energy storage system for storing electrical energy;
determining a load coupled to a power converter, the power converter coupled to the first energy storage system and the second energy storage system; and
manipulating the power transfer between the first energy storage system and the second energy storage system based on the first power level, the second power level and the load.

Abstract
The embodiments described herein relate to a reconfigurable energy storage system. In one embodiment, the reconfigurable energy storage system comprises a first energy storage system, a second energy storage system and a power converter. The power converter determines a first power level, a second power level and a load coupled to the power converter and manipulates the power transfer between the energy storage systems based on the first power level, the second power level and the load. In another embodiment, the reconfigurable energy storage system also comprises a third energy storage system. In this embodiment, the power converter determines a third power level corresponding to the third energy storage system and manipulates the power transfer between the energy storage systems based also on the third power level. The third power level may correspond to a state of charge of the third energy storage element or amount of power generated by the third energy storage system.
