An electrical power converter comprising an inductor 3, an oscillator 1 which operates a first switch 2, and a diode 4 or second switch to the output. The electrical power converter gives a pseudo resistive input characteristic which is intrinsic to its switched inductor operation and does not require feedback, though feedback can be used to modify its characteristic. As the supplied input voltage is increased, the input current also increases. The output characteristic is to deliver an energy pulse as the inductor is de-energised. This device can be used to provide maximum power point tracking of a generator 5 without needing the intelligence of a microprocessor if the characteristics of the generator, converter and load 6 are matched. |
