The present invention relates to an electrical energy
regulator system for a power supply
bus, the
system including: an
electrical energy storage unit, a
solar generator comprising a plurality of cells, means for regulating the
bus power supply voltage adapted to impose on each
cell one of the following three states: a first state in which the
bus is supplied with current, a second state in which the storage unit (BAT) is supplied with current, and a third state in which the
cell is shunted, the cells being divided by the
bus voltage regulator means into: a first group in which at least one
cell supplies power to the bus and one cell is assigned to regulation of the
voltage of the bus and is in its first state only when maintaining a nominal
bus voltage requires a top-up of current, and a second group in which at least one cell is either in a second state or in a third state, as a function of a required charging current of the storage unit, the number of cells in the second state being a function of the required charging current. According to the invention, the
system further includes means for regulating the charging of the storage unit which assign at least one cell of the second group to supplying power to the storage unit (BAT) and one cell of the second group to regulating the
voltage of the storage unit, the storage unit charging
voltage regulator cell being in its second state only when maintaining a nominal charging voltage requires a top-up of current.
