POWER CONVERTER AND METHODS FOR INCREASING POWER DELIVERY OF SOFT ALTERNATING CURRENT POWER SOURCE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power converter comprising:
- a detection circuit configured to;
determine a power source type based on at least one characteristic of power received from a power source;
determine an operating edge of the soft AC source by monitoring at least one parameter as the soft AC power source approaches a power limit; and
assign an operating point to the soft AC power source based on the operating edge to increase power delivery of the soft AC power source.

Abstract
A power converter is provided that includes a detection circuit configured to determine a power source type based on at least one characteristic of power received from a power source. The detection circuit is also configured to determine an operating edge of the soft AC source by monitoring at least one parameter as the soft AC power source approaches a power limit, and assign an operating point to the soft AC power source based on the operating edge to increase power delivery of the soft AC power source.
