Claim 23:
24. A method for assembling an energy system comprising modules arranged in levels, wherein a different module of each level services a different phase of the system, the method comprising:
assembling modules belonging to a different level of the energy system in each of a set of cabinets along an axis orthogonal to a reference plane such that the modules are aligned along the axis and a module for each phase is located a distance defined for modules of its phase from the reference plane; and
arranging the set of cabinets so each is adjacent to another and equidistant from the reference plane,
wherein the modules are connected as a plurality of arrays such that each array is configured to output an AC signal having a different phase angle,
wherein the energy system comprises a control system comprising a master control device and a plurality of local control devices communicatively coupled to the master control device,
wherein within each array of the plurality of arrays, a respective subset of local control devices are coupled together in a daisy chain configuration, and
wherein the master control device is directly communicatively coupled to a single local control device of each subset of local control devices, and is configured to coordinate control of each local control device of the plurality of local control devices.
