1. AC--AC converter building modules comprising:

  • a means to convert fixed-frequency and fixed-voltage multi-phase AC power to adjustable-frequency and variable-voltage single-phase floating power cells or a power phase bank;

    a means for integrating the power cells or power phase bank at a system level, thereby forming multi-phase power electronic systems;

    wherein the means for integrating forms an integrated multiple AC-switch power module which has less device power terminals, a reduced power bus structure and a simplified gate control complexity compared to a power circuit of a same power output which is not integrated ; and

    wherein there is adaptive commutation control.
