The article presents an analysis of methods for obtaining electrical energy from the operating losses of an internal combustion heat engine. The material also presents electrical energy management structures on board a modern motor vehicle and proposes a concept for the management and supervision of electrical energy derived from a turbogenerator located in the exhaust system of a piston engine.Over the last few years, it can be observed that the pace of development of internal combustion engines and progress in optimizing the combustion process of the medium powering piston units does not go hand in hand with the dynamic increase in the vehicle’s demand for electrical energy. Despite the introduction into mass production of many breakthrough solutions for the automotive industry, such as the use of multi-sequence direct fuel injection for both diesel and spark-ignition engines, or a whole range of pro-ecological solutions limiting the emission of harmful substances, the efficiency of the heat unit has not significantly improved in the last decade.
