Energiemodul

EnergieModul is a modular energy-management unit used to store, convert and distribute electrical energy within a system. The term is used in German-speaking regions to describe a self-contained, scalable module that can be combined with other modules to form larger energy systems, such as microgrids or building energy setups. A typical EnergieModul comprises energy storage (batteries or capacitors), power-electronic interfaces (inverters or DC-DC converters), and a control subsystem that handles monitoring, protection, and communication. The unit is designed to be modular and stackable, allowing capacity and power ratings to be expanded by adding more modules. It often includes protective features (overvoltage, overcurrent, thermal management) and communication capabilities (Modbus, CAN, Ethernet) for integration with energy-management systems.

Applications include renewable-energy systems, off-grid or grid-tied microgrids, backup power in data centers or hospitals, and electrified transport charging infrastructure. In terms of standards, EnergieModul products typically conform to general electrical-safety standards, EMC, and battery-management-system guidelines; specific standards vary by region and application. Related concepts include energy storage modules, power modules, and microgrids.
