Abstract

Claims (20)

1 . A balancing system of a high-voltage or medium-voltage network comprising:

a network input incorporating protection units configured to protect said network and units for measuring the performance of said network, the units for measuring the performance of said network configured to detect balancing requirements;

a transformer having a first winding connected to an output of said network input and configured to lower a voltage of said network;

an inverter connected to a second winding of said transformer and configured to transform an AC voltage into a DC voltage;

a set of batteries connected to said DC voltage; and

a supervision unit configured to activate said inverter and to charge or discharge said batteries when an imbalance is measured on said network by said measurement units;

wherein said balancing system also includes a voltage converter connected at the input to said DC voltage of said set of batteries, and at the output to at least one charging socket of an electric or hybrid vehicle; a first probe for measuring a charging requirement of said charging socket; a second probe disposed between said voltage converter and said DC voltage of said set of batteries to measure a first instantaneous power consumed by said charging socket, and a third probe disposed on said DC voltage of said set of batteries to measure a second instantaneous power consumed by said set of batteries;

wherein said supervision unit is configured to;

activate said voltage converter when a charging requirement is detected at said charging socket and requirements for injection into the network are less than a threshold value, and

activate and deactivate said voltage converter based on the first instantaneous power and the second instantaneous power to maintain a charge level of the set of batteries relative to a threshold.

2 . The balancing system according to claim 1 , wherein said units for measuring the performance of said network comprise a dedicated energy meter for an operator of said network and an independent energy meter.

3 . A method for managing a balancing system, the method comprising:

detecting balancing requirements for a network using units for measuring the performance of said network, the units for measuring the performance of said network being incorporated at a network input of the balancing system with protection units configured to protect said network;

activating, via a supervision unit of the balancing system, an inverter of the balancing system to charge or discharge batteries of the balancing system when an imbalance is measured on said network by said measurement units;

measuring, via a first probe, a charging requirement of a charging socket of the balancing system;

measuring, via a second probe disposed between a voltage converter of the balancing system and a DC voltage of said set of batteries, a first instantaneous power consumed by said charging socket;

measuring, via a third probe disposed on said DC voltage of said set of batteries, a second instantaneous power consumed by said set of batteries;

activating, via said supervision unit, said voltage converter when a charging requirement is detected at said charging socket and requirements for injection into the network are less than a threshold value; and

activating or deactivating, via said supervision unit, said voltage converter based on the first instantaneous power and the second instantaneous power to maintain a charge level of the set of batteries relative to a threshold.

4 . The method of claim 3 wherein said units for measuring the performance of said network comprise a dedicated energy meter for an operator of said network and an independent energy meter.
