In aeronautics, the optimization of the global energetic efficiency, the reduction of the embedded weight and the need to meet the growing energetic requirements lead to develop new technologies and methods to generate electrical energy, to distribute it, to convert it and to store it aboard. In this thesis, electrical energy storage systems are characterized with a view to be modeled. Among varied storage systems, presented in an introductory state of the art, ultracapacitors and Lithium-ion polymer secondary batteries are studied. These components are considered respectively as power and energy sources, in regards to the application scale. These storage systems are characterized by chronopotentiometry at constant current and by electrochemical impedance spectrometry. Tests are carried out in experimental conditions which define the validity area of modeling, in relation with the application constraints. Different models are developed according to their future use : simple models, which are functional and sufficient for the global energy management, and dynamics models, which are behavioral and necessary for the analysis of the network quality. Then, they validated thanks to mission profiles. Finally, to dispose of an efficient storage system that meets the energetic requirements of the aircraft, a sizing method is suggested by combining complementary storage systems. An energy management based on frequency approach is implemented in order to minimize the storage system weight.
