Abstract
In accordance with systems and methods of the present disclosure, an apparatus may include a power converter and a controller. The controller may be configured to monitor a voltage at an input of the power converter, cause the power controller to transfer energy from the input to a load at a target current, decrease the target current responsive to determining that the voltage is less than or equal to an undervoltage threshold, and increase the target current responsive to determining that the voltage is greater than or equal to a maximum threshold voltage.
