Abstract
Devices () convert source power from first sources () that receive solar/wind/water energy into load power destined for loads (). The devices () comprise first converters () for converting first direct-current voltage signals from the first sources () to second direct-current voltage signals destined for the loads (), first arrangements () for controlling the first converters () and regulating the second direct-current voltage signals in response to first control voltage signals, and first circuits () for providing the first control voltage signals. To prevent a collapse of the first direct-current voltage signals when having relatively small amplitudes, the first control voltage signals should have amplitudes equal to/larger than minimum values. The amplitudes of the first control voltage signal may be fixed, firstly fixed and secondly proportional to the amplitude of the first direct-current voltage signal, or inversely proportional/proportional to a square of the amplitude of the first direct-current voltage signal.
