Abstract: An energy storage system and a method for controlling such a system is disclosed. The energy storage system comprises a plurality of interconnected energy storage cells forming an energy storage module, a power converter connected to the energy storage module, a resistor circuit connected in parallel to the energy storage module, a switch connected in series with the resistor circuit and configured to disconnect the resistor circuit from the energy storage module, and a control unit operably connected to the switch. The control unit is configured to receive information pertaining to a transmission of energy in the energy storage system and to control the switch based on said information.

Abstract: A charging system for an automated guided vehicle, AGV, is presented. The charging system includes an offboard, meshed charging grid and onboard contact pads. The offboard, meshed charging grid including a charging pole in each grid point, wherein adjacent charging poles are configured with opposite polarity of a charging current. The onboard contact pads include four separate contact pads. An AGV is also presented.

Abstract: A frequency support system arranged for providing frequency support to an AC grid. The system includes an ES arrangement, and a bi-directional DC/AC power electronic converter interface configured for connecting the ES arrangement with the grid. The ES arrangement includes a plurality of series connected ES groups, each ES group including a plurality of parallel connected ES modules, each ES module including an energy storage interfaced by a bi-directional power electronic ES converter configured for connecting the ES with a DC side of the converter interface.
