1. An energy management system comprising:
a universal energy flow manager comprising:
a housing;
an energy storage device disposed in the housing;
a power electronics module disposed in the housing and configured to convert and manage power;
a connections interface; and
a distribution and communications module comprising at least a HVDC Bus (High-Voltage Direct Current Bus) having variable power limits, configured to power an entire load requirement of one or more coupled electrical loads up to a defined power limit determined by an aggregation of power from one or more coupled energy sources; and
an electric vehicle application specific hardware device (EV ASH), configured to:
operate in a first operation mode in which the EV ASH provides power from an electric vehicle energy source to the universal energy flow manager and to charge another electric vehicle; and
operate in a second operation mode to receive power from the universal energy flow manager for provision to an electric vehicle battery pack;
wherein the one or more coupled electrical loads and the one or more coupled energy sources are external to the universal energy flow manager and connect to the HVDC Bus through the connections interface.
