Power distribution unit 120 comprises switching device 121.The input of switching device 121 is connected with the output of AC-DC converter 111.Opening and closing state through control switch device 121 comes optionally to be 130 power supplies of follow-up power supply device.Switching device 121 can comprise many group switch elements, and each switch element is power supply device 130 of control separately.As required, thus uninterrupted power supply module 110 also can be directly be connected with power supply device 130 through power distribution unit 120 supplies power for power supply device 130.In the present embodiment, storage capacitor 140 is arranged on the inside of this power distribution unit 120.When power distribution unit 120 not being set, storage capacitor 140 can be arranged among the uninterrupted power supply module 110.

Power supply device 130 comprises DC-to-dc converter 131 and filter capacitor 132.The input of DC-to-dc converter 131 is connected with the output of switching device 121; This DC-to-dc converter 131 is used for converting the voltage signal of switching device 121 outputs to follow-up load 150 operate as normal required normal voltage signal, like the voltage signal of 5V or 12V.Load 150 can be unit such as inner memory of counter formula data center or processor.In the present embodiment, DC-to-dc converter 131 converts the voltage signal of the 400V of switching device 121 outputs to the voltage signal of the 12V of DC-to-dc converter 131 outputs.One end of said filter capacitor 132 is connected on the output of power distribution unit 120, and its other end is connected with earth terminal.The effect of this filter capacitor 132 is the deviate of input voltage is maintained within certain scope.For general power-supply system, its ripple voltage (RippleVoltage) is defined as about 1% of input voltage usually.Be under the situation of 400V promptly, generally need utilize filter capacitor 132 that input voltage is maintained in the voltage range of 400V ± 4V for the standard input voltage.

One end of storage capacitor 140 links to each other with the input of power supply device 130, and its other end is connected with earth terminal.The effect of said storage capacitor 140 is behind system cut-off, storage capacitor 140 still can be in a period of time (like 20ms) for subsequent conditioning circuit provides electric energy, thereby normally closing the buffer time that provides certain for subsequent conditioning circuit.Need to prove that the effect of storage capacitor 140 and battery modules 112 is also inconsistent.The effect of battery modules 112 is when meeting the situation of unexpected power failure; Battery modules 112 inner stored electric energy can continue to be supplied to power supply device 130; Make it keep operate as normal, its duration reaches dozens of minutes or more than the several hrs usually.And the effect of storage capacitor 140 mainly is under the situation that system normally closes, and makes subsequent conditioning circuit that certain closing buffer time (like 20ms) can be arranged, and preserves or carry out closing motion etc. to realize data in closing buffer time at this.

Particularly, said DC-to-dc converter 131 is the full-bridge direct current change-over circuit, and it generally includes the switch that direct voltage just converts high-frequency ac voltage into, and high-frequency ac voltage is carried out the transformer coil of step-down and follow-up regulator rectifier circuit.Recently control the ratio that voltage changes through the main coil of selection transformer coil and the number of turn of secondary coil.In the present embodiment, the turn ratio of said transformer coil is N _p: N _s=40: 2, N wherein _pRepresent the number of turn of main coil, N _sRepresent the number of turn of secondary coil.

In the above-mentioned power-supply system 10 that is used for counter formula data center, storage capacitor 140 is transferred to the inside of power distribution unit 120 from the inside of power supply device 130.Because the capacity and the volume of storage capacitor 140 are bigger, storage capacitor 140 is shifted out power supply device 130 after, can effectively improve the inner performance of ventilating of power supply device 130, thereby improve its radiating efficiency.Under the situation of utilizing fan that power supply device 130 is dispelled the heat, use lower rotation speed of the fan still can play better radiating effect.The technique effect of embodiment of the present invention will be described with the Practical Calculation value of storage capacitor 140 and filter capacitor 132 below.

For storage capacitor 140, its capacitance C _HoldUsually satisfy following formula:

Formula 1: $\frac{P_{\mathrm{Out}}}{\mathrm{Eff}}\×T_{\mathrm{Hold}}=\frac{1}{2}\×C_{\mathrm{Hold}}\×(V_{\mathrm{In}-\mathrm{Normal}}^2-V_{\mathrm{In}-\mathrm{Min}}^2)$

In formula 1, V _In-normalRepresent normal input voltage; V _In-minRepresent minimum operating voltage; P _OutRepresent power output; Eff represents conversion efficiency; T _HoldThe representative outage is held time.

Formula 1 is put in order, can be obtained the capacitance C of storage capacitor 140 _HoldComputing formula:

Formula 2: $C_{\mathrm{Hold}}=\frac{P_{\mathrm{Out}}}{\mathrm{Eff}}\×\frac{T_{\mathrm{Hold}}\×2}{(V_{\mathrm{In}-\mathrm{Normal}}^2-V_{\mathrm{In}-\mathrm{Min}}^2)}$

If set V _In-normal=400V; V _In-min=320V; P _Out=900W; Eff=0.97; T _Hold=20ms; Then learn C through calculating _Hold=644.3 μ F.Consider the normal capacity and the error amount thereof of electric capacity, selecting nominal capacity for use is 680 μ F, and operating voltage is that the electric capacity of 420V is as storage capacitor 140.With NCC (Nippon Chemi-Con) KMQ of company series aluminum electrochemical capacitor is example, and the electric capacity of its 680 μ F/420V (105 ℃) is of a size of: 35mm (Φ) * 50mm (L).It is thus clear that the volume of said storage capacitor 140 is about 4.8 * 10 ⁴Mm ³It is thus clear that, if said storage capacitor 140 is arranged at the inside of power supply device 130,, make power supply device 130 inside have bigger windage because its volume is bigger, be unfavorable for the heat dispersion of power supply device 130 inside.

For filter capacitor 132, its capacitance C _InUsually satisfy following formula:

Formula 3: $\mathrm{\Δ}{V}_{\mathrm{Cin}}=\frac{I_{\mathrm{In}}\×(D-D^2)\×T_s}{C_{\mathrm{In}}}=\frac{I_{\mathrm{Out}}^{\mathrm{In}}\×N_s}{2\×N_p}\×\frac{(D-D^2)\×T_s}{C_{\mathrm{In}}}$

Generally speaking, need be with ripple voltage Δ V _CinBe arranged to input voltage V _In1%.At V _In=400V, 1/T _s=140kHz, N _s=2, N _p=40, I _OutUnder the situation of=75A, D=0.375, can draw according to formula 3:

$C_{\mathrm{in}}=\frac{I_{\mathrm{out}}\×N_s}{2\×N_p}\×\frac{(D-D^2)\×T_s}{\mathrm{\Δ}{V}_{\mathrm{cin}}}=\frac{I_{\mathrm{out}}\×N_s}{2N_p}\×\frac{(D-D^2)\×T_s}{V_{\mathrm{in}}\×1\%}$

Through calculating C _In=0.78 μ F.Consider the nominal capacity and the error amount of electric capacity, selecting nominal capacity for use is 1 μ F, and operating voltage is that the electric capacity of 450V is as filter capacitor 132.With NCC (NipponChemi-Con) YXA of company series electric capacity is example, and the electric capacity of its 1 μ F/450V (105 ℃) is of a size of: 8mm (Φ) * 11.5mm (L).It is thus clear that the volume of said filter capacitor 132 is about 5.78 * 10 ²Mm ³This shows; The volume of the volume ratio storage capacitor 140 of filter capacitor 132 is wanted little two one magnitude; Storage capacitor 140 is transferred to the inside of power distribution unit 120 from the inside of power supply device 130, can effectively reduce the inner windage of power supply device 130, improve its radiating efficiency.And, because power distribution unit 120 temperature inside will be lower than power supply device 130 temperature inside, said storage capacitor 140 can adopt the lower electric capacity of heat resisting temperature (as heat-resisting be 85 ℃), thereby provide cost savings.
