Energy supply management system for a vehicle, method for determining the coverage of an energy requirement of a load unit of the energy supply management system, and computer program product

An energy supply management system for a vehicle, comprising:

• at least one energy supply system having at least one energy supply unit;
• and
• at least one load unit, which is able to be supplied with energy by the at least one energy supply system, wherein
• the energy supply management system is configured to:
• determine an availability of functions of the at least one load unit,
• determine an energy requirement based on the determined availability of functions of the at least one load unit,
• determine energy that is able to be provided by the at least one energy supply unit to cover the energy requirement, and
• determine the availability of functions of the at least one load unit, the energy requirement based on the availability of functions of the at least one load unit, the energy that is able to be provided by the at least one energy supply unit to cover the energy requirement, and/or a remaining maneuverability of the vehicle based on the determined energy requirement continuously, periodically, or in an event-dependent manner, in dependence on a change in the availability of functions and/or the energy that is able to be provided.

A method for determining coverage of an energy requirement of at least one load unit of an energy supply management system of a vehicle, wherein the energy supply system has at least one main energy supply unit and multiple auxiliary energy supply units, the method comprising:

• determining an availability of functions of the at least one load unit;
• determining an energy requirement of the at least one load unit based on the determined availability of the functions of the at least one load unit;
• determining the coverage of the energy requirement of the at least one load unit based on a determination of energy that is able to be provided by the at least one energy supply unit;
• determine the energy that is able to be provided by at least one auxiliary energy supply unit to cover the energy requirement, and
• determine the energy that is able to be provided by the at least one auxiliary energy supply unit to cover the energy requirement based on a selection of at least one auxiliary energy supply unit of the multiple auxiliary energy supply units, while at least one other auxiliary energy supply unit of the multiple auxiliary energy supply units is excluded from the selection as at least one reserve auxiliary energy supply unit.
