1. A system comprising:

  • one or more energy modules configured to output power to an energy management bus based on load demands wherein an energy module of the one or more energy modules includesone or more energy cells enclosed within a module housing configured to provide the power to the energy management bus,a first rotation assembly and a second rotation assembly attached on opposite ends of the module housing that are configured to provide rotational movement for the energy module, anda local controller with first circuitry configured tocontrol an amount of power output from the one or more energy cells to the energy management bus,engage a self-driving mode of the energy module in response to receiving a disconnection signal from a central controller, andcontrol movement of the energy module in the self-driving mode to a predetermined location via the first rotation assembly and the second rotation assembly; and

    the central controller including second circuitry configured toreceive a current module status from the one or more energy modules, andcontrol a configuration of the one or more energy modules providing power to the energy management bus based on the current module status.
