The Internet of Things paradigm and the ubiquitous diffusion of Power Electronic Converters
in many fields of application are suggesting the possibility of new ICT services associated to
advanced power conversion. This work investigates the feasibility of shared centralized
control and communications units able to control and synchronize different power
converters, enabling real-time control and telemetry with a cloud approach on the Internet.
Our research is focused on defining a proper communication bus making communications …

Nowadays, a new energy revolution is in act. This trend can be noticed from the explosive
growth of portable devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets) industry processes, hybrid cars
and many others. Power Electronic assumes a fundamental role in this revolution, since it
represents the technique with which the power is transferred from the source to the load.
These developments are leading digital control into becoming the enabling technology for
many engineering fields and Power Electronic Converters (PECs) into being used in several …
