Describe in detail for example below:
The method for managing power supply of a kind of multi-power module system that the embodiment of the invention provided can be used for the multi-power module system that the embodiment of the invention 1 is provided is managed.
As shown in Figure 1, the excursion of supposing the power consumption numerical value of main equipment 5 is that 2500W~4000W is (after starting main equipment 5, even main equipment 5 is not worked the power consumption of 2500W is not at least arranged yet), the concrete numerical value of supposing the some time is 3000W, for guaranteeing to have two redundant power modules in four power modules at least, power module rated power must be greater than 2000W, and each power module rated power of hypothesis is 2000W in the embodiment of the invention.
After starting power module and relying on the main equipment 5 of power module power supply, the power output of each power module is 750W, its export ratio is 37.5%, because preestablishing and be stored in the number range of the export ratio of the high efficiency point in the signal processing unit is 80%~100%, this moment, signal processing unit 6 was given one of them power module by internal communication bus 7 transmission mode setting commands, the control chip of power module 1 for example, setting power module 1 is 90% for the intermediate value (being the mean value of maximum and minimum value) of the number range of the high efficiency point export ratio of normal mode of operation makes its export ratio, power output is 1800W, is set at intermediate value and can reduces the error of adjusting appearance; The residue power output that signal processing unit 6 is not shared power module 1 is distributed to power module 2 and power module 3, and the export ratio of setting power module 2 is 50%, and power output is 1000W, is the low efficiency point of normal mode of operation; Setting power module 3 is 10% for its export ratio of slight load model, and power output is 200W, and setting power module 4 is active standby mode, and its power output and export ratio are 0;
(this situation only can instantaneous generation if the power consumption of main equipment 5 reaches maximum 4000W, and occurrence probability is considerably less), then signal processing unit 6 all is adjusted into 100% with the export ratio of power module 1, shares the power output of 2000W, is the high efficiency point of normal mode of operation; Power module 2 export ratios are adjusted into 70%, are the low efficiency point of normal mode of operation, share the power output of 1400W, the export ratio of power module 3 is adjusted into 30%, share the power output of 600W, be slight load model; Setting power module 4 is active standby mode, and its power output and export ratio are 0;
If the power consumption of main equipment 5 drops to minimum value 2500W, this moment, signal processing unit 6 all was adjusted into 90% with power module 1 export ratio, shared the power output of 1800W, still at the high efficiency point of normal mode of operation; The 700W residue power output that signal processing unit 6 is not shared power module 1 is distributed to power module 2 and power module 3, and the export ratio of power module 2 is adjusted into 31%, shares the power output of 620W, is the low efficiency point of normal mode of operation; The export ratio of power module 3 is adjusted into 4%, shares 100W, be still slight load model;
After setting is finished, if each power module has entered the pattern that signal processing unit 6 configures, then
Main signal processing unit 6 does not just need frequently to set the pattern of each power module, once more to instructing if the control chip of each power module sends;
Up to work one period scheduled time, this time period be assumed to be single power module life time 1/10 after, signal processing unit 6 is adjusted the pattern of each power module more by turns.The power module that will be in normal mode of operation high efficiency point is set at active standby mode, the power module that will be in slight load model is set at the low efficiency point of normal mode of operation, the power module that will be in active standby mode is set at slight load model, and the power module that will be in the normal mode of operation low efficiency point is adjusted into normal mode of operation high efficiency point;
In the power module running, if there is one to break down and lost efficacy, then signal processing unit 6 is by the control chip of internal communication bus 7 transfer instructions to power module, and cancellation is to the management of power module, and the power module of Shi Xiaoing is not on average shared the power output of main equipment 5.
Certainly, the method for managing power supply of embodiment of the invention multi-power module system also can be applied in the multi-power module system that the identical multi-power module system of four groups of rated power and the embodiment of the invention 2 and embodiment 3 provided.
How the method for managing power supply that describes embodiment of the invention multi-power module system below for example in detail is applied in a kind of multi-power module system that embodiment 2 as shown in Figure 2 provided.
In a kind of power module system that embodiment 2 is as shown in Figure 2 provided, the excursion of supposing the power consumption numerical value of main equipment 5 is 1200W~1500W, and selecting rated power is the power module of 1500W.
When the power consumption numerical value of main equipment 5 is 1500W, then during initial condition, the power output that each power module is shared naturally is 500W, export ratio is 33.3%, the number range of supposing the export ratio of the normal mode of operation high efficiency point that set this moment still is 80%~100%, the export ratio number range of slight load model is 0~30%, then this moment, signal processing unit 6 one of them power module were set at normal mode of operation high efficiency point, for example power module 1 is set at the high efficiency point of normal mode of operation, this moment, the export ratio of power module 1 was 90%, and power output is 1350W; Power module 2 is set at slight load model, and its export ratio is 10%, shares 150W; Power module 3 is set at the active standby mode power output and export ratio is 0.
After setting was finished, if each power module does not have entering signal processing unit 6 in the set pattern of reserving of above-mentioned steps, then main signal processing unit 6 just sent the pattern that each power module is set in instruction to the control chip as if each power module once more;
Up to work one period scheduled time, this time period be assumed to be single power module life time 1/10 after, signal processing unit 6 is adjusted the pattern of each power module by turns;
In the power module running, there is one to break down and lost efficacy, then signal processing unit 6 is given the control chip of each power module by internal communication bus 7 transfer instructions, and cancellation is to the management of all power modules.
Obviously, the method for managing power supply of embodiment of the invention multi-power module system also can be applied in the identical power module system of three groups of rated power, and the pattern of three or three groups power modules can be set and be adjusted by turns to signal processing unit 6.
The method for managing power supply of embodiment of the invention multi-power module system also can be used for a kind of multi-power module system that as shown in Figure 3 embodiment 3 is provided is managed.
How the method for managing power supply that describes embodiment of the invention multi-power module system below for example in detail is applied in a kind of power module system that embodiment 3 as shown in Figure 3 provided.
In a kind of power module system that embodiment 3 is as shown in Figure 3 provided, the excursion of supposing the power consumption numerical value of main equipment 5 is 1200W~1500W, owing at least a redundant power module will be arranged, so the rated power of each power module is at least the maximum 1500W of the power consumption of main equipment 5, if the rated power of power module is too big, can cause the waste of device resource, be 1500W so suppose the rated power of each power module here herein.
Initial condition, the power consumption numerical value of supposing main equipment 5 this moment is 1400W, the power output that each power module is shared naturally is 700W, this moment each power module to be operated in export ratio be 46.7% POL, the number range of supposing the export ratio of the normal mode of operation high efficiency point that set this moment also is 80%~100%, the export ratio number range of slight load model was 0~30% (not comprising 0), signal processing unit 6 is set one of them power module at this moment, for example the power output of power module 1 is 1350W (export ratio is 90%), is the high efficiency point of normal mode of operation; Set the power output of power module 2 again, make it share remaining 50W (export ratio is 3.3%), be slight load model; Certainly, signal processing unit 6 also can be adjusted into 85% with the export ratio of power module 1, shares the power output of 1190W, also is the high efficiency point of normal mode of operation; Making power module 2 export ratios is 15%, shares 225W, also is slight load model;
After setting was finished, if each power module has not entered signal processing unit 6 in the set pattern of reserving of above-mentioned steps, then main signal processing unit 6 just sent the pattern that each power module is set in instruction to the control chip as if each power module once more;
Up to work one period scheduled time, this time period be assumed to be single power module life time 1/10 after, signal processing unit 6 is adjusted the pattern of each power module by turns;
In the power module running, as if having a power module to break down and losing efficacy, then signal processing unit 6 is by the control chip of internal communication bus 7 transfer instructions to power module, and cancellation is to the management of power module.
Obviously, the method for managing power supply of embodiment of the invention multi-power module system also can be applied in the identical power module system of two groups of rated power, the pattern of two or two groups power modules can be set, be adjusted by turns to signal processing unit, the power consumption demand when satisfying two of main equipment uses or two groups of power modules.
In sum, to set at least one power module according to the number range of the export ratio of power module under the power consumption value of main equipment and each pattern be normal mode of operation to signal processing unit in the embodiment of the invention, at least one power module is standby mode of operation, make full use of the power module of the bigger normal mode of operation of the number range that is in export ratio, and the power module of the less standby mode of operation of the number range that makes export ratio is as standby, when making power module satisfy the power consumption demand of main equipment, make different power modules, be in the pattern of the number range of different export ratios, avoided all power modules all to be in the lower operating state that power output is arranged of export ratio, so it is bigger to have solved existing multi-power module system redundancy, the technical problem that the conversion efficiency of power supply is lower.
