Abstract
There is provided a system for providing (e.g., configured to provide) power to one or more loads. The system comprises a plurality of power converters, wherein each power converter is configured to be arranged in a parallel configuration with one or more additional power converters so as to provide power to the one or more loads. The system further comprises a central controller configured to receive a plurality of local current measurement values from each of the power converters, output a global current measurement value based on the local current measurement values, and transmit the global current measurement value to each of the power converters, wherein each power converter comprises an inverter for receiving an input voltage and converting this to an output voltage having one or more associated output current(s).
