A distributed energy conversion system may include one or more DC power sources and two or more inverters to convert DC power from the power sources to AC power. The AC power from the two or more inverters may be combined to provide a single AC output. A module may include one or more photovoltaic cells and two or more inverters. An integrated circuit may include power electronics to convert DC input power to AC output power and processing circuitry to control the power electronics. The AC output power may be synchronized with an AC power distribution system.

Distributed energy conversion systems

Methods and apparatus for substrate modeling are disclosed. In one disclosed method, for example, the substrate modeling comprises determining scalable Z parameters associated with at least two substrate contacts, constructing a matrix of the scalable Z parameters for the at least two substrate contacts, and calculating an inverse of the matrix to determine resistance values associated with the at least two substrate contacts. Computer-readable media containing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer system to perform any of the described methods are also disclosed.
