The present invention relates to a system and a method for connecting and/or interfacing a converter, such as a switched mode converter, to an electrical power grid. The invention furthermore relates to control of the converter. The present invention facilitates that the point of common coupling (PCC) between a utility grid and a converter is provided at the converter output. This facilitates that a converter, and thereby an electrical power source, may be connected to an electrical power grid without use of an inductor, such as a reactor.
