1. A controller configured to optimize generated power output by a power generation system thereby ensuring said power generation system efficiency wherein said power generation system comprises:

  • at least one source of power;

    at least one load consuming energy from said source of power;

    one or more power transfer parameters having values that can be increased or decreased and held constant by a transducer device operatively connected to said controller;

    wherein said controller comprises the following operationally connected and structurally interrelated components;

    a read write memory;

    one or more of said transducer devices that can increase, decrease and hold a setting value of said one or more power transfer parameters and are responsive to said output result signals originating from a data processor;

    an output power sensor operatively connected to a data processor, measures and captures indicated power output of said power generation system in a form recognizable by said data processor;

    said data processor comprising logic circuitry configured to;

    receive and process input data indicating system power output from a power output sensor, processing said input in accordance with instructions stored in its memory and producing output result signals;

    select one power transfer parameter for optimization by one of said transducer devices and to hold other of said transducer devices, controlling the value of said power transfer parameter'"'"'s settings, that are operatively connected to said power generation system for optimization by said controller, constant in their last setting, isolating said selected power transfer parameter for optimization;

    optimize said power output by a power generation system by increasing or decreasing a setting value controlling said selected power transfer parameter'"'"'s value as required to optimize said power generation system power output based on the power generating system'"'"'s power output measurements obtained from said power output sensor;

    function to iteratively optimize each of said one or more power transfer parameters operatively connected to said data processing system progressing from said selected power transfer parameter'"'"'s setting to said next power transfer parameter selected for optimization;

    produce said output result signals, based on processing said input by said logic circuitry, which are received by said one or more transducer devices independently controlling the values of said one or more power transfer parameters.
