System and method for converter switching frequency control

A system 100 for power conversion includes a power converter 126 having switching elements, a detector 142, and a controller 144. The detector 142 detects a parameter and provides electrical signals indicative of the parameter. The controller 144 receives the electrical signals transmitted from the detector 142, and sends commands to instruct the power converter 126 to perform power conversion by operating the switching elements in accordance with switching signals at a different frequency in response to a detection of the system condition. A method for operating the system 100 is also provided.
