Calculate total energy and print it, also in JSON format

This mode regulates the input current such that the load to the
generator has a constant, defined impedance. The impedance is set
such that it matches the ratio between the specified motor voltage and
current. In that case, the power extracted from the motor/generator ist
maximized.
