Patent 11972926 was granted and assigned to ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC. on April, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A generator and a method for controlling the generator are disclosed. The method comprises receiving a power sequence comprising a plurality of power states, creating a dynamic reference-time response within each state, and determining a dynamic average-delivered-power value within each state. An error signal is calculated within each state, and a controller output is produced using the error signal. An internal setpoint is produced based upon the error signal, and a power amplifier is controlled using the internal setpoint to control output power.
