Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling an output voltage of a battery system comprising a plurality of battery cells, which are electrically interconnected in such a way that battery cells of the battery system can respectively be connected to the battery system and can be electrically bypassed. In order to adapt an actual output voltage of the battery system to a target output voltage, at least one switch-on probability is generated and the battery cells having the at least one generated switch-on probability are connected to the battery system and additionally at least one switch-off probability is generated and the battery cells having the at least one generated switch-off probability are electrically bypassed. The present invention further relates to a battery system designed to carry out the method according to the invention, comprising a plurality of electrically interconnected battery cells a plurality of activation circuits, and a control unit, wherein the battery cells can be respectively connected to the battery system or electrically bypassed by means of the activation circuits.
