1. A power converter control system, comprising:

  • at least one power producing device;

    at least one power consuming device; and

    at least one power electronics module configured to;

    convert and condition a flow of electrical current between the at least one power producing device and the at least one power consuming device; and

    serialize a flow of a first set of signals between the at least one power electronics module and at least one controller,wherein at least one of the first set of signals corresponds to at least one characteristic of the at least one power electronics module; and

    wherein the at least one controller is configured to;

    process a second set of signals into commutation signals for controlling at least one switch in the at least one power electronics module;

    serialize the commutation signals; and

    direct the serialized commutation signals to the at least one power electronics module.
