Abstract

In a method for analyzing an electrical energy storage device, in particular an accumulator or a battery, the energy storage device is electrically connected to at least one consumer and to at least one electrical energy source in an electrical energy supply system. An electrical energy flow into or out of the energy storage device is directly or indirectly measured using a measuring unit, in particular a smart meter, and at least one energy storage device parameter is iteratively determined on the basis of recorded values of the measured energy flow. The energy flow is expressed by the unit energy per time, and an energy profile of the energy flowing into the energy storage device and extracted from the energy storage device is identified from the energy flow by integrating the energy flow over time. The at least one parameter is determined on the basis of the energy profile.
