Abstract
A method includes receiving a periodic voltage by a power converter comprising a plurality of converter cells and, in a series of time frames of equal duration, alternating an average power level of power converted by at least one converter cell of the plurality of converter cells. Each of the series of time frames corresponds to a time period between sequential zero crossings of the periodic voltage.
