Never used in canon AFAIK.

We have the derived noun {rIHwI'} "energizer" which *may* be a control 
component of an impulse engine.  (In ST2 Kirk ordered "Energizers off!" 
while still inside the Terran system and the Enterprise came to an apparent 
halt. Then Kirk ordered the warp drive engaged.)

Cf. also the verbs {laQ} "fire/energize (e.g. thrusters)", {chu'} 
"activate" and {Huj} "charge (up)".  (As I argued recently, {Huj} probably 
doesn't refer to a military charge as we have {yov} "charge [mil]" for that.)
