Claim 11:
12. An electric system comprising a first control circuit and a plurality of modules arranged in series between first and second terminals, each module comprising third and fourth terminals, at least one of the third and fourth terminals of each module being coupled to one of the third and fourth terminals of another module, each module comprising electric cells and switches coupling the electric cells to one another and to the third and fourth terminals of the module, and a second switch control circuit, the electric system further comprising at least one first data transmission bus, coupling the first control circuit to each second control circuit, the first control circuit comprising a memory having chained lists stored therein, each chained list comprising elements each comprising an identifier of one of the electric cells and at least one first pointer designating another element in the chained list, the first control circuit being capable of:
a) receiving a set point;
b) transmitting to the second control circuits first control signals for the connection or the disconnection of at least one of the electric cells of the modules to follow said set point, the first control signals being determined based on the chained lists; and
c) transmitting to the second control circuits second control signals for the connection of one of the electric cells and the disconnection of another electric cell among the electric cells, the second control signals being determined based on the chained lists.
