Abstract
The invention is a system and a method for active balancing of several coupled energy storage modules (10). The modules are controlled either as master module to be discharged or as slave module to be charged. Balancing is being implemented by the charge of a magnetic storage element (2, 11, 12) of the master module. The invention pools the balancing and coupling functions.
