Abstract
The power conversion system of this invention achieves precisely regulated input current and precisely regulated output voltage in a two step process whereby one power converter sub-system (141) provides input current regulation and a second power converter sub-system (158) provides output voltage regulation. The two converter sub-systems are arranged so that the second power converter sub-system (158) is powered by the first power converter sub-system (141) and the output of the second power converter sub-system (158) is placed in series with an output of the first power converter sub-system (141) to form the system output so that the load voltage is the sum of the two outputs placed in series. With this arrangement only a small fraction of the load power needs to be processed by the second power converter sub-system (158) which yields higher system efficiency and smaller system size, weight, and cost.
