Abstract

The invention concerns a method for controlling an assembly of at least two inverters (1a, 1b) in an electricity generating system with parallel inverters. The method comprises the implementation by at least one data processing unit (2a, 2b) of the steps: (a) for each inverter (1a, 1b) of the assembly, obtaining an input duty factor (PWMi) of an input signal (Si) received by the inverter (1a, 1b), (b) calculating a mean duty factor (PWMm) from the input duty factors (PWMi), (c) modulating and synchronising the input signal (Si) received by each inverter (1a, 1b) into an output signal (So) having an output duty factor (PWMo) corresponding to the mean duty factor (PWMm).
