The control strategy provided by the application is shown in table 2, and the output power of the output port is distributed in real time according to the access and extraction states of the first output port and the second output port. When the single port is accessed, the output power is P MAX When the dual ports are accessed simultaneously, the output power of the dual ports is P MAX /2.
