Abstract
Systems and methods related to controlling flux through an inductor of a power converter are described. For example, a control system is configured to control a multi-level converter having a first leg, a second leg, and at least one inductor. The control system includes a processor operatively coupled to a memory. The processor receives a reference signal. The processor determine flux through at least one inductor of a converter. The processor controls a temporal distribution of the flux through the at least one inductor based on the flux through the at least one inductor according to the reference signal.
