Abstract
According to an embodiment it is a method comprising obtaining first data indicative of an imbalance of one of a first energy storage unit and a second energy storage unit with respect to the respective other one of the first energy storage unit and the second energy storage unit; providing an operational parameter based on the first data for one or more of, at least one of a first converter unit and a second converter unit; at least one of a first diode element and a second diode element; and a load; wherein the operational parameter acts against the imbalance.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining first data indicative of an imbalance of one of a first energy storage unit and a second energy storage unit with respect to the respective other one of the first energy storage unit and the second energy storage unit;
- providing an operational parameter based on the first data for one or more of, at least one of a first converter unit and a second converter unit;
- at least one of a first diode element and a second diode element;
- and a load;
- wherein the operational parameter acts against the imbalance;
