Abstract
A control unit includes a power supply device with a battery store including at least one battery unit; a first energy conversion device that converts nonelectrical energy into electrical energy; and a connecting unit configured such that a summed energy for the electrical energy of the energy conversion device and battery store is deliverable. The control unit receives an instantaneous output power or a future output power requirement of the first energy conversion device and further receives a predicted power of the first energy conversion device for at least one future time. The instantaneous output power or the future output power requirement and the predicted power are used to ascertain a required power at the future time. At least one battery unit is switched on in response to the threshold value being exceeded by the required power.
