Abstract
System for balancing an association in series of elements for generating and/or storing electrical energy has full bridge inverters (OPC, OPC, OPC), with two inverter arms connected in parallel between two end ports and with two switches (T, T; T, T) connected in series by a median point (P, P) of the arm; a plurality of connectors for connecting the two end ports of each full bridge inverter to a respective element (CA, CA, CA, PV, PV, PV) of said association in series; and a magnetic coupler (NM) formed by a magnetic core on which a plurality of windings (W, W, W) is formed, each winding connected to the median points of the arms of one of said inverters. A series of elements (CA, CA, CA) for electrochemical storage of electrical energy and a series of photovoltaic cells (PV, PV, PV) provided with such a balancing system are also disclosed.
