Patent ID: 8866335

Claim:
An apparatus for controlling an energy system ( 1 ), the apparatus comprising: at least one energy unit ( 10 , 20 ); at least one DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ), the DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ) coupled to at least one electrical component ( 12 , 22 ); a power output to the electrical component ( 12 , 22 ) controlled by the DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ), with the maximum power which can be output to the electrical component ( 12 , 22 ) determined by a power limit value of the DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ); a limit-value management system ( 13 ) coupling the energy unit ( 10 , 20 ), the DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ), and the electrical component ( 12 , 22 ), the limit-value management system ( 13 ) configured to control the power output such that, when power is demanded by the electrical component ( 12 , 22 ) above the power limit value of the DC/DC converter ( 11 , 21 ), power is output up to the maximum power limit value.
