A method for operating a power generation system that supplies power for application to a load is disclosed. The method may generally include receiving, at a power converter, an alternating current power generated by a generator operating at a speed that is substantially equal to its synchronous speed and converting, with the power converter, the alternating current power to an output power, wherein the power converter includes at least one switching element. In addition, the method may include receiving a control command to control a switching frequency of the at least one switching element and adjusting the switching frequency to an adjusted switching frequency that is substantially equal to a fundamental frequency of the load.
