A power supply system includes a first power circuit coupled to a capacity-type first battery and a drive motor, a second power circuit coupled to an output-type second battery, a voltage converter that converts a voltage between the first power circuit and the second power circuit, and a converter ECU and a management ECU that operate the voltage converter to control converter passing power in the voltage converter. The management ECU sets, when a first SOC that is a percentage of charge in the first battery is less than a predetermined lamp-on threshold and a first maximum output P1_lim that is a maximum output of the first battery is more them a predetermined output threshold Pe0 maximum converter passing power Pcnv_max corresponding to maximum power with respect to the converter passing power to 0 to prohibit discharging of the second battery.

An onboard powertrain for an automated guided vehicle, AGV, is presented herein. The onboard powertrain includes a split-source inverter, SSI, having at least one middle point pole, a positive DC-link pole, and a negative DC-link pole, a battery and an inductor connected in series between the positive or negative DC-link pole and the middle point pole, and a supercapacitor connected between the positive and negative DC-link poles.

The present disclosure provides a capacitor module including: a capacitor; a first housing having a hexahedron shape and having an inner space in which the capacitor is disposed, the first housing including a pair of cooling parts recessed inwards from a pair of parallel surfaces among outer side surfaces thereof such that a refrigerant flows, a pair of cooling channels disposed inside opposite side surfaces perpendicular to the surfaces of the pair of cooling parts such that the pair of cooling parts communicate with each other, and a through-hole configured to connect each of the cooling channels to the outside such that the refrigerant is introduced or discharged therethrough; and a cooling plate coupled to the first housing so as to seal the cooling parts.

Disclosed herein is an electric power and thermal management system in which, when a shaft is rotated due to an operation of a power part, generation of electric power and a circulation of a fluid are performed together so that the generation of the electric power and a circulation structure of oil are integrated, and thus a layout can be reduced, and a structure can be simplified. In addition, in a state in which the generation of the electric power and the circulation structure of the oil are integrated, a circulation amount of the oil is adjusted according to an angle of an inclined plate constituting a pumping mechanism so that an oversupply of the oil to parts through which the oil is circulated can be prevented.
