Abstract
A system and method for operating an inverted-based power source includes a power input configured to receive alternating current (AC) power and a rectifier configured to convert the AC power to direct current (DC) power. The inverter-based power source also includes an inverter configured to receive the DC power from the rectifier and convert the DC power to AC power and a controller configured to generate switching signals according to a pattern of offsets from a regular half period and communicate the switching signals to the inverter or rectifier control operation of the inverter or rectifier.
