Embodiments of the invention can provide systems, methods, and an apparatus for operating a power converter. According to one embodiment, a system 100 for operating a power converter 115 can be provided. The system can include a direct current (DC) power source 105 with an output electrically coupled to an input of the power converter. The system can also include a controller 125 operable to modify the performance of the DC power source 105 through the power converter 115. As part of this modification, the controller 125 can determine whether a low voltage ride (LVRT) event exists in a load and can adjust the DC power source 105 when an LVRT event occurs. In this way, embodiments of the invention can provide a stable source of DC power that does not require electrical separation from a load when an LVRT occurs.
