Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatuses are implemented for electric power systems. An apparatus for power conversion according to one embodiment comprises: a multiple function power converter (77), the multiple function power converter (77) being capable of performing functions of a static inverter, and being capable of at least one of performing functions of a motor controller, and performing functions of a start converter to use a generator as a starter. An architecture system for aircraft according to another embodiment comprises: one or more rectifiers (408), wherein the one or more rectifiers (408) receive at least one high frequency AC power input; and a plurality of power conversion devices (78) optionally connectable to drive at least one high frequency generator (105) as a starter and at least one load, the input of each power conversion device (78) being connected to at least one rectifier (408).
