The method further comprises: determining a fundamental frequency; assigning an operating frequency to the power converters, wherein for each of the power converters, the operating frequency is a multiple of the fundamental frequency; operating the plurality of power converters at the assigned frequency; and summing the individual outputs of the power converters to produce an output. A method of tuning a set of power converters includes assigning a switching time to each of the power converters, wherein updating the switching time requires no additional communication.)
