ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a stabilized power converter having an input voltage and an output voltage, where the stabilized converter operates similar to a conventional converter under normal conditions, and operates continuously at the maximum power transfer point during overload conditions. The stabilized converter comprises a voltage control loop for regulating output voltage, and a stabilization loop for regulating input voltage. In a preferred embodiment, the stabilization loop senses the input voltage to the stabilized converter and compares it to a reference voltage. Whenever converter input voltage is above the maximum power transfer voltage, no action is taken by the stabilization loop, and the converter operates in the conventional manner. As converter input voltage approaches the maximum power transfer voltage, converter output voltage and corresponding converter input and output power are reduced to compensate.
