Abstract
In an energy management system for a motor vehicle, the system has an energy manager that contains a computing unit. Connected to the energy manager are a memory device and a plurality of electrical system components that include energy-producing devices, energy storage devices, and consumers of energy. Various possible operating states are assigned to each of the energy producers and energy storage devices, and these states are represented as the summation of an energy producer and of zero, one, or a plurality of what are known as virtual energy consumers.
