Abstract
A power converter has at least one series circuit of switching modules that each have semiconductor switches and an energy storage unit. A method of operating the power converter includes a step of making a prediction for at least one voltage value of the power converter and carrying out switching operations on the switching modules based on the prediction in order to regulate a switching frequency. There is also described a power converter that is configured to carry out a method according to the invention.
