High-voltage energy regulated conversion circuit

A high-voltage energy regulated conversion circuit (HVERCC) () for electrically coupling to a vehicle bus () is provided. The HVERCC () includes a high-voltage energy converter (HVEC) module () coupled to the vehicle bus (), a battery-pack high-voltage bus battery bus (), and a WEG heater bus (). The battery bus () is coupled to a high-voltage battery pack () and a WEG heater circuit (). The HVEC module (), the high-voltage battery pack (), and the WEG heater circuit () are coupled to a logic controller () via a network (). The logic controller () regulates the power on the vehicle bus (), the battery bus (), and the WEG heater bus (). An operational method for the HVEC module () is also provided.

High voltage energy regulated conversion circuit

A matrix system for a battery, which includes a first parameter of power usage and a first requirement, which designates a portion of the first parameter is disclosed. The system further includes a second parameter of temperature and a second requirement, which designates a portion of the second parameter. Also, a third parameter of state of charge and a third requirement, which designates a portion of the third parameter, is described. The portions of the first, second and third parameters intersect to form a volume.
