Super capacitor module for vehicle with high voltage power source and control method thereof, computer program, and computer readable memory

A method for controlling a super capacitor module for a vehicle with a high voltage power source, wherein the super capacitor module comprises:

• a super capacitor, high power control electronics for controlling and actuating charging of the super capacitor, a high-powered DC-DC converter connected to super capacitor and adapted to be connected to a low voltage power supply system, a voltage comparison circuit connected to the super capacitor and adapted to be connected to a low voltage power source, the super capacitor module being adapted to be connected to at least one Electric Control Units (ECU) for a vehicle and/or a starter motor for a vehicle, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
• detecting that a low voltage power source is attached to the super capacitor module, in response to detecting that a low voltage power source is attached to the super capacitor module, operating the high-power control electronics so as to choose charging intervals of the super capacitor so that the voltage of the super capacitor is above the nominal voltage of the low voltage power source, detecting that a low voltage power source is not attached to the super capacitor module, detecting that at least one ECU is connected to the super capacitor module, in response to not detecting that a low voltage power source is attached to the super capacitor module and detecting that an ECU is connected to the super capacitor module, operating the high-power control electronics so as to choose charging intervals of the super capacitor within allowable intervals for the at least one ECU, detecting that a starter motor is not attached to the super capacitor module, in response to not detecting that a starter motor is attached to the super capacitor module, utilizing the high-powered DC-DC circuit to convert high voltage power from the high voltage power source to low voltage and supplying the low voltage to the low voltage supply system.
