A method and system of reducing/eliminating ripple in an electric motor are provided. An electric parameter, such as current is sensed in an input electric signal. Ripple is detected in the signal using one or more current sensors and a discrete Fourier transform calculation. Ripple is reduced by adjusting the electric signal being sent from a drive control to an electric motor, using a closed-loop configuration. The electric motor might be a regenerative electric motor that is configured to sink or supply electricity to a power grid.
