Abstract

A module for connecting to a second module of the same type to provide an electrical converter system or, a battery system, wherein the module comprises an energy storage, at least five internal switching elements, and at least two connections on each side of the module, wherein the energy storage is connected directly to at least one of the at least two connections and the internal switching elements are arranged and connected in such a way that the internal switching elements, independently of a switching state of corresponding internal switching elements of the second module of the same type, can realize all switching states in order to dynamically switch an electrical connection between the energy storage and a corresponding energy storage of the second module. The invention further relates to an electrical converter system and to a battery system.
