A control method and system includes determining a resonant frequency of a vehicle system operably coupled with an external power source providing voltage and current to the vehicle system. A first filter extracts a phase or frequency component from the voltage provided by the external power source to produce a stable voltage component. A second filter extracts a phase or frequency component from the current provided by the external power source to produce a stable current component. The stable voltage component is out of phase with the stable current component. A control input for a converter device of the vehicle system is determined based on the stable voltage component, the stable current component, and the resonant frequency.
