According to an aspect, a power supply system includes a power stage, a power supply controller configured to control operations of the power stage, a metering circuit configured to sense measured conditions of the power stage, and a system performance controller configured to be coupled to the power supply controller and the metering circuit. The system performance controller is configured to set or adjust a control parameter for the power stage based on energy conversion efficiency of the power stage. The system performance controller includes an efficiency computation circuit configured to compute the energy conversion efficiency of the power stage based on the measured conditions, and a control manipulation module configured to modify the control parameter until the energy conversion efficiency achieves a threshold condition.
