Abstract:
1. A method of stabilizing power provided by an energy source to a load, said method comprising: capturing, in a first energy storage device, energy produced by the energy source in excess of the immediate energy requirement of the load unless an energy level of the first energy storage device is at a first maximum threshold; capturing, in a second energy storage device, the energy produced by the energy source in excess of the immediate energy requirement of the load if the energy level of the first energy storage device is at the first maximum threshold, unless an energy level of the second energy storage device is at a second maximum threshold; transferring energy from the first energy storage device to the second energy storage device in response to the energy level of the first energy storage device reaching the first maximum threshold; and ceasing transferring energy from the first energy storage device to the second energy storage device in response to (i) the energy level of the first energy storage device reaching a first predetermined level, or (ii) the energy level of the second energy storage device reaching the second maximum threshold.
