Methods and apparatus for controlling a power converter are provided herein. For example, apparatus can include a series resonant circuit including transformer with a primary side winding directly coupled to a DC bridge drive and a control system connected to the series resonant circuit and configured to measure a voltage at the primary side winding for determining a bias signal that can be applied to a resonant capacitor voltage at a secondary side winding of the transformer for restoring a DC content of the DC bridge drive to about zero.
