A method for optimizing operation of a feedback system may include generating a control signal according to a control parameter, regulating an output of the feedback system via the control signal, and monitoring the control parameter. In response to the monitoring indicating that the present value of the control parameter is outside a specific range of values, a first parameter that impacts an operating characteristic of the feedback system may be adjusted until the present value of the control parameter is within the specific range of values. The specific range of values of the control parameter may correspond to a target level of the operating characteristic of the feedback system with respect to the first parameter. One or more additional independent parameters also impacting the operating characteristic of the system may be similarly adjusted to obtain a minimum present value of the control parameter at which the output of the feedback system would be regulated, with the minimum value of the control parameter corresponding to the target level of the operating characteristic of the feedback system with respect to, collectively, the first parameter and the one or more additional independent parameters.
