System and method for optimizing energy obtained from renewable sources

A computer program product for optimizing an efficiency of an energy source being disposed within an operating environment and supplying energy to an energy conversion circuit for generating output power based upon the supplied energy, the computer program product being encoded on one or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media and comprising:

• instruction for receiving conversion system information from the energy conversion circuit and sensor system information from one or more sensor circuits within the operating environment;
• instruction for calculating one or more quantitative model parameters of a quantitative model for predicting an operational behavior of the energy source based upon the received conversion system information and the received sensor system information;
• instruction for generating a converter control signal for establishing an optimal operating region of the energy source based upon the calculated quantitative model parameters;
• and
• instruction for transmitting the converter control signal to the energy conversion system,
• wherein the energy conversion circuit sets the supplied energy from the energy source based upon the converter control signal to establish a first operating region for enabling the energy source to operate at a peak power.
