The apparatus further includes an energy store for storing the electrical energy and an interface for outputting the energy to a consumer.
Claims15
An apparatus for converting and storing energy, comprising:
- a plurality of various energy converters for converting energy, which is present in various forms of energy, to electrical energy;
- an energy store for storing the electrical energy;
- an interface for outputting the energy to a consumer;
- and
- an interface for combining with other apparatuses for converting and storing energy so as to increase an output power and storage capacity, the apparatus comprising edges, the interface for combining comprising contacts at the edges, which contacts are configured to electrically interconnect several apparatuses when several apparatuses are combined.
A method of converting and storing energy, comprising:
- converting energy, which is present in various forms of energy, to electrical energy;
- storing the electrical energy in an energy store;
- combining the electrical energy with electrical energy of an apparatus for converting and storing energy via contacts at edges of the apparatus, so as to increase an output power and storage capacity;
- and
- outputting the energy to a consumer.
A system comprising two apparatuses which are implemented in a cubic manner and are mutually arranged in a geometrical manner such that the interfaces for combining the two apparatuses are electrically connected to one another.
