Energy supply system (100) with: - a first battery (20); - a second battery (23); - a
voltage converter (10) with several switching elements (31, 32, 33, 34), wherein the switching elements (31, 32, 33, 34) are designed to bidirectionally convert a
voltage between the first battery (20) and / or the second battery (23) and an output line (26) and to switch a connection between the first battery (20) and the second battery (23) to the output line (26) between a series and a parallel connection; and - a controller (60) designed to switch the multiple switching elements (31, 32, 33, 34) on or off in accordance with
pulse width modulation control, wherein - the output line (26) has a first electrical line (12) and a second electrical line (11) of lower potential than the first electrical line (12), - the multiple switching elements (31, 32, 33, 34) have a first, second, third and fourth switching element (31, 32, 33, 34) which are connected in series from the first to the second electrical line (12, 11), - the first battery (20) is connected in parallel to the third and fourth switching elements (33, 34), - the second battery (23) is connected in parallel to the second and third switching elements (32, 33), - the controller (60) then, if a total high-level period, which is a total period of a first high-level period and a second high-level period, is shorter than a
duty cycle period, is designed to control phases of pulse-width modulation control signals such that the first high-level period and the second high-level period do not overlap, in order to reduce
noise by bringing the frequency of the
electromagnetic noise of the
voltage converter outside the range audible to humans, wherein the first high-level period is a high-level period of a first pulse-width modulation
control signal for controlling a first voltage conversion of a first voltage conversion circuit formed between the first battery (20) and the output line (26),the second high-level period is a high-level period of a second pulse-width modulation
control signal for controlling a second voltage conversion of a second voltage conversion circuit formed between the second battery (23) and the output line (26), and the
duty cycle period is a total period of low-level periods of the pulse-width modulation control signals and a corresponding number of high-level periods of the pulse-width modulation control signals.
