Claim 27:
28. 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, wherein each module comprises an energy source configured to output a DC voltage, a converter coupled with the energy source, and a local control device configured to control the converter to output a module voltage of +DC volts, zero volts, or −DC volts; 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 modules within each array are connected as levels of that array such that the AC signal output by that array is a superposition of the output voltages from each module of that array, and
wherein the energy system further comprises a master control device communicatively coupled with each local control device of the modules, the master control device configured to provide control information to at least one of the local control devices of the modules.
