The device includes an electric energy source to which an inverter is power-connected, whose output is three-phase with symmetrical power distribution. It further includes an inter-phase power transfer module which is power-connected to the inverter and comprises at least one first power board including at least three power transistors. The inter-phase power transfer module has a data interface and has a first output with asymmetrical power distribution into three phases, wherein the first output is further connected to a distinctive nodal point, this distinctive nodal point being power-connected to a load. Through a measuring module, the PLC control system is also connected to the distinctive nodal point, the PLC control system being further connected also to the inverter and the data interface. This arrangement ensures that the power supplied to the load reflects in each phase the power consumed by the load. The device further offers additional possibilities to control energy production, consumption and storage.
