Instead, only the d- and q-axis currents are controlled. The current references are set as tunable parameters, allowing the user to input values directly. A more comprehensive example of PV inverter control is presented in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/example\/three-phase-pv-inverter\">Three-phase PV inverter for grid-tied applications (AN006)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controller-to-controller-communication\"><\/span>Controller-to-controller communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With imperix controllers, various approaches can be used to implement coordinated and\/or synchronized control of multi-converter systems. Communication between controllers can be achieved using standard real-time protocols such as CAN or Ethernet, or via Imperix&#8217;s proprietary RealSync protocol. The latter is natively supported by all Imperix controllers and offers the advantages of synchronized control execution and modulation without adding implementation complexity. More details on the available options can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/real-time-communication-protocols\">Real-Time Communication Protocols for B-Box RCP (PN202)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When RealSync is used to exchange user data between controllers running different control codes, this is referred to as <strong>master-master communication<\/strong>. This differs from <strong>master-slave communication<\/strong>, which occurs transparently between controllers when operating in I\/O extension mode. A combination of these approaches is also possible to implement distributed control, known as <strong>combined mode<\/strong> in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/technology\/distributed-converter-control\/\">Distributed Control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Code-development-in-multi-master-scenarios\"><\/span>Code development in multi-master scenarios<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For multi-master operation, each controller should have its own programming model (Simulink or PLECS) and the data exchange between controllers is handled using the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/software\/sfp-out-sfp-output-mailbox\">SFP block<\/a>. More details on programming imperix controllers in multi-master setups can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/multi-master-mode-for-distributed-networked-control-systems\">Multi-master for distributed networked control (PN158)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this note, to illustrate controller-to-controller communication, the PCC current reference entered by the user is divided by three in the first converter&#8217;s controller and transmitted to the other two converters. Additionally, the activation state of the first controller is shared with the other two, simplifying the operation of the multi-converter system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To simplify the testing and development of the three control codes, a top-level Simulink model integrates the three independent models using the template provided in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/multi-master-mode-for-distributed-networked-control-systems\">Multi-Master for Distributed Networked Control (PN158)<\/a>. This enables simultaneous code generation for all three models with a single click. Additionally, a plant simulation model is included to facilitate offline testing of the multi-converter system, using simulation models of the <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/getting-started-with-imperix-power-library\">Power Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"991\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/simulink-model-multi-converter-2.png\" alt=\"Control model of three grid tied inverters\" class=\"wp-image-32881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/simulink-model-multi-converter-2.png 991w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/simulink-model-multi-converter-2-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/simulink-model-multi-converter-2-768x478.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 991px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Simulink model used to implement the control of the three grid-tied inverters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interleaving-in-multi-converter-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interleaving-in-multi-converter-systems\"><\/span>Interleaving in multi-converter systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the operation of multi-phase DC\/DC converters, the operation of several grid-tied inverters can be interleaved.
