ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

A method for controlling an electric power supply system (200) is described. The electric power supply system (200) may be an electric power supply system (200) for a vehicle configured to drive the vehicle. The electric power supply system (200) comprises a first energy storage unit (206) electrically connected to a first converter unit (210) and a second energy storage unit (208) electrically connected to a second converter unit (212). The first converter unit (210) is electrically connected to a load (220) via a first diode element (232). The second converter unit (212) is electrically connected to the same load (220) via a second diode element (234). The method comprises obtaining first data indicative of an imbalance between the first energy storage unit (206) and the second energy storage unit (208). Moreover, the method comprises providing an operational parameter for at least one of the first converter unit (210) and the second converter unit (212). Additionally or alternatively, an operational parameter for at least one of the first diode element (232) and the second diode element (234) is provided. Further additionally or alternatively, an operational parameter for the load (220) is provided. The operational parameter is based on the first data and acts against the imbalance. Moreover, a data processing apparatus, a computer program, a computer-readable storage medium, a use, an electric power supply system (200), and a vehicle are presented.
