Abstract
An electrical energy storage module is provided. The storage module includes a reversible electrical energy conversion device intended to be connected to an electrical energy source and an electrical energy storage device. The storage device includes a first branch including two filter capacitors in series, and a second branch including two identical electrical energy storage means connected in series. A node common to the two capacitors and a node common to the two energy storage means are coupled by an impedance. A first end of the first and second branches is connected to the electrical energy conversion device, and a second end of the first and second branches is connected to the electrical energy conversion device.

An electrical energy storage module comprising:
- a reversible electrical energy conversion device configured to be coupled to a source of electrical energy;
- and
- an electrical energy storage device comprising:
- a first branch comprising two filter capacitors in series;
- and
- a second branch comprising two identical electrical energy storage means, wherein a first node common to and between the two capacitors and a second node common to and between the two energy storage means are connected together by an impedance to stabilize current during switching phases of the reversible electrical energy conversion device, and
- wherein a first end of the first and second branches are connected to one terminal of the reversible electrical energy conversion device, and a second end of the first and second branches are connected to another terminal of the reversible electrical energy conversion device;
- wherein the storage device further comprises:
- a disconnection switch connected between the second end of said branches and an output terminal;
- a shunt switch connected on the one hand between the disconnection switch and the output terminal, and on the other hand to the first end of said branches in such a way as to shunt the electrical energy storage means;
- and
- a grounding switch connected between the node common to the two storage means and ground.
