Description

電源備援系統及其操作方法 Power backup system and its operation method

本創作係有關一種電源備援系統及其操作方法,尤指一種高可靠度之集中型電源備援系統及其操作方法。 The present invention relates to a power backup system and an operation method thereof, and more particularly to a high reliability centralized power backup system and an operation method thereof.

隨著科技日新月異,資料處理中心的需求遽增,資料處理中心的配備以電腦為主,利用電腦及相關設備處理大量的資料,提供方便、可靠、快速的服務,以協助企業單位各個部門,增加生產力或提高行政效率,亦常稱為計算機中心(Computing Center)或電腦中心(Computer Center)。資料處理中心屬於服務性的功能,在一個機構內,資料處理中心所提供的服務,對其他單位的效率及其成就深具影響。多數資料均從遠處終端機輸入資料處理中心的電腦主機處理,因應實際需求,資料處理中心往往需24小時運作。資料處理中心的電源需經過特殊設計,以維持資料處理中心的穩定性。因此,大多數的資料處理中心的前端皆使用電源備援系統,當輸入電源發生問題時,電源備援系統可切換為備用電源,以繼續提供資料處理中心所需的電源。 With the rapid development of technology, the demand for data processing centers has increased. The data processing center is equipped with computers. It uses computers and related equipment to process large amounts of information, providing convenient, reliable and fast services to assist enterprises in various departments to increase Productivity or administrative efficiency is often referred to as the Computing Center or Computer Center. The data processing center is a service function. Within an organization, the services provided by the data processing center have an impact on the efficiency and achievements of other units. Most of the data is processed from the remote terminal to the computer host of the data processing center. Due to actual needs, the data processing center often needs to operate 24 hours. The power of the data processing center must be specially designed to maintain the stability of the data processing center. Therefore, most data processing centers use a power backup system at the front end. When there is a problem with the input power, the power backup system can be switched to the backup power supply to continue to provide the power required by the data processing center.

請參閱圖1所示係為現有電源備援系統之電路方塊示意圖。該電源備援系統100A係轉換一電源Vs為一輸出電源Vo,並供應給後端的負載40A(資料處理中心)使用。該電源備援系統100A係包含一開關模組10A(具有一高功率容量模組)以及連接該開關模組10A的複數個電源供應器(P1-1~P1-M),其中該開關模組10A係為自動轉換開關(Automatic Transfer Switching;ATS)。由於現行的電源備援系統100A係僅以單一自動轉換開關提供電源Vs給整個機架(rack or shelf)的電源轉換器(P1-1~P1-M),因此當自動轉換開關發生故障時造成整個機架的電源供應器(P1-1~P1-M)失效,而影響到後端的資料處理中心。由於上述現行之電源備援系統100A的電路架構的缺失,造成整體電源備援系統100A的可靠度不佳。 Please refer to FIG. 1 for a circuit block diagram of an existing power backup system. The power backup system 100A converts a power source Vs into an output power source Vo and supplies it to the load 40A (data processing center) of the back end. The power backup system 100A includes a switch module 10A (having a high power capacity module) and a plurality of power supplies (P1-1~P1-M) connected to the switch module 10A, wherein the switch module The 10A is an automatic transfer switch (ATS). Since the current power backup system 100A supplies the power supply Vs to the rack or shelf power converter (P1-1~P1-M) with only a single automatic transfer switch, when the automatic transfer switch fails, it is caused. The power supply (P1-1~P1-M) of the entire rack is invalid, which affects the data processing center of the back end. Due to the lack of the circuit architecture of the current power backup system 100A, the reliability of the overall power backup system 100A is poor.

因此,如何設計出一種電源備援系統及其操作方法,以維持資料處理中心的穩定性,乃為本案創作人所欲行克服並加以解決的一大課題。 Therefore, how to design a power backup system and its operation method to maintain the stability of the data processing center is a major issue that the creators of this case want to overcome and solve.

茲有關本發明之技術內容及詳細說明,配合圖式說明如下:請參閱圖2係為本發明第一實施例電源備援系統之電路方塊示意圖。該電源備援系統100係接收一電源Vs,且對一負載40供電。該電源備援系統100係包括一開關模組10、一電源供應模組20以及一控制單元30。該開關模組10係接收該電源Vs,且切換該電源為一輸入電源Vin。該電源供應模組20係連接該開關模組10與該負載40之間,且轉換該輸入電源Vin為一輸出電源Vo,並對該負載40供電。該控制單元30係根據該電源備援系統100的電源Vs狀態,傳送一控制訊號Sc控制該開關模組10的啟閉。其中,該電源Vs、該輸入電源Vin、以及該輸出電源Vo的電源形式,可為電壓源、電流源…等。但不以此為限,換言之,只要是能提供電力的電源形式,皆應包含在本發明之範疇之中。值得一提,該電源Vs係為至少一個輸入源,有關該電源Vs的具體描述,請參見後述說明。 The technical content and detailed description of the present invention are as follows with reference to the following drawings: Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a circuit block diagram of a power backup system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The power backup system 100 receives a power source Vs and supplies power to a load 40. The power backup system 100 includes a switch module 10, a power supply module 20, and a control unit 30. The switch module 10 receives the power source Vs and switches the power source to an input power source Vin. The power supply module 20 is connected between the switch module 10 and the load 40, and converts the input power source Vin into an output power source Vo, and supplies power to the load 40. The control unit 30 transmits a control signal Sc to control the opening and closing of the switch module 10 according to the power supply Vs state of the power backup system 100. The power source Vs, the input power source Vin, and the power source form of the output power source Vo may be a voltage source, a current source, or the like. However, it is not limited thereto, in other words, any form of power supply capable of providing electric power should be included in the scope of the present invention. It is worth mentioning that the power supply Vs is at least one input source. For a detailed description of the power supply Vs, please refer to the description below.

復參閱圖2,該開關模組10係包含複數個開關單元(Q1~Qn+1),每個開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)係分別接收該電源Vs,且切換該電源Vs為該輸入電源Vin。該電源供應模組20係包含複數個電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1),每個電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1)係對應連接每個開關單元(Q1~Qn+1),且轉換該輸入電源Vin為該輸 出電源Vo,並對該負載40供電。該控制單元30係傳送一控制訊號Sc控制該開關模組10的啟閉,以切換適合該電源備援系統100的輸入源。 Referring to FIG. 2, the switch module 10 includes a plurality of switch units (Q1~Qn+1), each switch unit (Q1~Qn+1) receiving the power source Vs and switching the power source Vs to the input. Power supply Vin. The power supply module 20 includes a plurality of power supply units (P1~Pn+1), and each power supply unit (P1~Pn+1) is connected to each switch unit (Q1~Qn+1), and is converted. The input power source Vin is the input The power supply Vo is output and the load 40 is powered. The control unit 30 transmits a control signal Sc to control the opening and closing of the switch module 10 to switch an input source suitable for the power backup system 100.

該電源備援系統100係為n+1的備援系統,其中符號n+1係指n個電源供應單元所能提供的總電力大於或等於該負載40所需的電力,再加上1個備援的電源供應單元。當其中之一開關單元(假設為Qn+1)或電源供應單元(假設為Pn+1)故障,導致該路無法正常輸出電力給後端負載時,剩餘的該些開關單元(Q1~Qn)所對應連接的該些電源供應單元(P1~Pn)所能提供的總電力仍大於或等於該負載40所需的電力,以維持該負載40的順利運行,並達到備援的功效。以圖2為例,當其中之一開關單元(假設為Qn+1)發生故障時,代表所對應連接的電源供應單元Pn+1無法輸出該輸出電源Vo。但由於該電源備援系統100為n+1的備援系統,因此,剩餘的電源供應單元(P1~Pn)還是可穩定供應負載40所需的電力,以避免該電源備援系統100無法提供該負載40所需的電力而導致負載失效。當其中之一的電源供應單元(假設為P2)發生故障時,代表該電源供應單元P2無法輸出該輸出電源Vo,或該電源供應單元P2無法提供與其他電源供應單元相同之電力時。但由於該電源備援系統100為n+1的備援系統,因此,剩餘的電源供應單元(P1、P3~Pn+1)還是可穩定供應負載40所需的電力,以避免該電源備援系統100無法提供該負載40所需的電力而導致負載失效。值得一提,本發明所提到的電力可為電壓、電流、功率容量…等。舉例來說,如圖2,假設n=10,而負載40在正常運作時需要的功率為1000瓦,則在設計電源供應單元時,每一個電源供應單元能夠提供的最大輸出功率應設計為1000/n=1000/10=100瓦以上,由於整個電源備援系統採用n+1組電源供應單元,也就是除了原本的10個電源供應單元,額外再加上1個電源供應單元,因此,當其中之一電源供應單元(假設為P11)或其中之一開關單元(假設為Q11)故障而無法提供100瓦的輸出功率時,剩下的第1~10 個電源供應單元的總輸出功率還是可以達到1000瓦以上,以滿足負載40的電力需求。 The power backup system 100 is a backup system of n+1, wherein the symbol n+1 refers to the power required by the n power supply units to be greater than or equal to the power required by the load 40, plus one Backup power supply unit. When one of the switching units (assumed to be Qn+1) or the power supply unit (assumed to be Pn+1) fails, causing the path to fail to output power to the back-end load normally, the remaining switching units (Q1~Qn) The total power that the corresponding power supply units (P1~Pn) can provide is still greater than or equal to the power required by the load 40 to maintain the smooth operation of the load 40 and achieve the backup effect. Taking FIG. 2 as an example, when one of the switching units (assumed to be Qn+1) fails, the power supply unit Pn+1 representing the corresponding connection cannot output the output power Vo. However, since the power backup system 100 is a backup system of n+1, the remaining power supply units (P1~Pn) can also stably supply the power required by the load 40 to prevent the power backup system 100 from being provided. The load 40 requires the power to cause the load to fail. When one of the power supply units (assumed to be P2) fails, it means that the power supply unit P2 cannot output the output power supply Vo, or the power supply unit P2 cannot provide the same power as the other power supply units. However, since the power backup system 100 is a backup system of n+1, the remaining power supply units (P1, P3~Pn+1) can also stably supply the power required by the load 40 to avoid the power backup. System 100 is unable to provide the power required by the load 40 to cause the load to fail. It is worth mentioning that the power mentioned in the present invention may be voltage, current, power capacity, etc. For example, as shown in Figure 2, assuming n = 10, and the load 40 requires 1000 watts during normal operation, the maximum output power that each power supply unit can provide when designing the power supply unit should be designed to be 1000. /n=1000/10=100 watts or more, because the entire power backup system uses n+1 power supply units, that is, in addition to the original 10 power supply units, plus one power supply unit, therefore, when When one of the power supply units (assumed to be P11) or one of the switch units (assumed to be Q11) fails to provide 100 watts of output power, the remaining 1~10 The total output power of the power supply unit can still reach more than 1000 watts to meet the power demand of the load 40.

如圖2所示,每個電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1)係包含複數個電源供應器(P1-1~Pn+1-M),該些開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)係對應連接該些電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1)內的每個電源供應器(P1-1~Pn+1-M)。當其中一個電源供應器(假設為P2-2)故障時,會導致該組電源供應單元P2所輸出的輸出電源Vo異常。但由於該電源備援系統100為n+1的備援系統,因此,剩餘的電源供應單元(P1、P3~Pn+1)所能提供的總電力仍大於或等於該負載40所需的電力,以避免該電源備援系統100無法提供該負載40所需的電力而導致負載無法運作,其中符號M係為每個電源供應單元內具有1至M個電源供應器。 As shown in FIG. 2, each power supply unit (P1~Pn+1) includes a plurality of power supplies (P1-1~Pn+1-M), and the switch units (Q1~Qn+1) correspond to each other. Each power supply (P1-1~Pn+1-M) in the power supply units (P1~Pn+1) is connected. When one of the power supplies (assumed to be P2-2) fails, the output power supply Vo outputted by the group of power supply units P2 is abnormal. However, since the power backup system 100 is a backup system of n+1, the total power that the remaining power supply units (P1, P3~Pn+1) can provide is still greater than or equal to the power required by the load 40. In order to prevent the power backup system 100 from providing the power required by the load 40, the load cannot be operated, wherein the symbol M has 1 to M power supplies in each power supply unit.

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the power backup system 100' includes a plurality of control units (30-1~30-n+1). Each control unit (30-1~30-n+1) is connected to each switch unit (Q1~Qn+1), and each switch unit (Q1~Qn+1) is controlled correspondingly. The control units (30-1~30-n+1) respectively transmit a control signal Sc to control corresponding switch units (Q1~Qn) in the switch module 10 according to the power supply Vs state of the power backup system 100'. +1) opening and closing. Since the power backup system 100' controls a single switching unit (Q1~Qn+1) for a single control unit (30-1~30-n+1), one of the control units (30-1~30-n) +1) When it is damaged, it will not cause all the switching units (Q1~Qn+1) to be inoperable, and the power supply units (P1~Pn+1) will not receive the power supply Vs, so that the power supply is redundant. The system 100' is unable to provide the power required by the load 40 and the load is not operational.

請參閱圖4係為本發明開關單元之電路示意圖。復配合參閱圖2~3,每個開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)係包含一第一開關SW1、一第二開關SW2。該第一開關SW1的一端係接收該電源Vs的一第一輸入源Vs1,該第二開關SW2的一端係接收該電源Vs的一第二輸入源Vs2,且該第一開關SW1的另一端係連接該第二 開關SW2且輸出該輸入電源Vin。當該控制單元30控制該第一開關SW1導通時,該第一輸入源Vs1係為該輸入電源Vin;且當該控制單元30控制該第二開關SW2導通時,該第二輸入源Vs2係為該輸入電源Vin。該電源備援系統100運行時,該控制單元30係導通該第一開關SW1或該第二開關SW2,以輸出該第一輸入源Vs1或該第二輸入源Vs2。所對應的電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1)係轉換該第一輸入源Vs1或該第二輸入源Vs2為該輸出電源Vo,當該第一輸入源Vs1或該第二輸入源Vs2的其中一個異常時,該控制單元30係控制該些開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)切換為另一個輸入源。值得一提,於本實施例中,該電源Vs係不限定僅有第一輸入源Vs1與第二輸入源Vs2,僅以方便說明為例。換言之,該電源Vs係可包含複數個輸入源或僅有單個輸入源,且每個開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)內部開關的數量,係對應該些輸入源的數量既可。 Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a circuit diagram of the switch unit of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 2~3, each switching unit (Q1~Qn+1) includes a first switch SW1 and a second switch SW2. One end of the first switch SW1 receives a first input source Vs1 of the power source Vs, one end of the second switch SW2 receives a second input source Vs2 of the power source Vs, and the other end of the first switch SW1 is Connect the second The switch SW2 is output and the input power source Vin is output. When the control unit 30 controls the first switch SW1 to be turned on, the first input source Vs1 is the input power source Vin; and when the control unit 30 controls the second switch SW2 to be turned on, the second input source Vs2 is The input power source Vin. When the power backup system 100 is in operation, the control unit 30 turns on the first switch SW1 or the second switch SW2 to output the first input source Vs1 or the second input source Vs2. The corresponding power supply unit (P1~Pn+1) converts the first input source Vs1 or the second input source Vs2 to the output power source Vo, when the first input source Vs1 or the second input source Vs2 is When an abnormality occurs, the control unit 30 controls the switching units (Q1~Qn+1) to switch to another input source. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the power source Vs is not limited to only the first input source Vs1 and the second input source Vs2, and is merely taken as an example for convenience of description. In other words, the power source Vs can include a plurality of input sources or only a single input source, and the number of internal switches of each of the switch units (Q1~Qn+1) is corresponding to the number of input sources.

以圖2為例,且配合參閱圖4。假設該電源備援系統100以該第一輸入源Vs1為該輸入電源Vin,當該控制單元30偵測到該第一輸入源Vs1異常時,該控制單元30係控制該第一開關SW1不導通,且導通該第二開關SW2,並切換為該第二輸入源Vs2為該輸入電源Vin。值得一提,於本實施例中之該些開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)係為自動轉換開關(Automatic Transfer Switching;ATS),且可為半導體式開關或為機械式開關。但不以此為限,換言之,只要可達成本案上述功效之開關單元種類,皆應包含在本實施例之範疇之中。 Take Figure 2 as an example, and refer to Figure 4 for cooperation. It is assumed that the power supply backup system 100 uses the first input source Vs1 as the input power source Vin. When the control unit 30 detects that the first input source Vs1 is abnormal, the control unit 30 controls the first switch SW1 to be non-conductive. And turning on the second switch SW2, and switching to the second input source Vs2 as the input power source Vin. It is worth mentioning that the switch units (Q1~Qn+1) in the embodiment are automatic transfer switches (ATS), and may be semiconductor switches or mechanical switches. However, it is not limited thereto. In other words, as long as the type of the switching unit of the above-mentioned utility can reach the cost, it should be included in the scope of the present embodiment.

請參閱圖5係為本發明開關切換波形圖。復配合參閱圖2~4,該電源備援系統100於運行前係會檢測該第一輸入源Vs1與該第二輸入源Vs2,當其中一個輸入源的品質較佳時,該控制單元30係切換導通對應品質較佳輸入源的開關。以圖5為例係為該第一輸入源Vs1品質較佳,因此導通該第一開關SW1。且當該第一輸入源Vs1的品質低於閥值或無該第一輸入源Vs1時,該控制單元30係不導通該第一開關SW1且導通該第二開關SW2,以將該輸入電源Vin由該第一輸 入源Vs1切換為該第二輸入源Vs2。且該些開關單元(Q1~Qn+1)內部的該第一開關SW1與該第二開關SW2於該第一輸入源Vs1與該第二輸入源Vs2切換時,係具有一切換時間Th。更具體而言,該切換時間Th為該第一開關SW1關斷至該第二開關SW2開啟之間,或該第二開關SW2關斷至該第一開關SW1開啟之間的延遲時間,該延遲時間須為該些電源供應單元(P1~Pn+1)可容忍暫時未有該輸入電源Vin的時間。值得一提,為避免該第一輸入源Vs1低於閥值時,該第二輸入源Vs2也未達閥值標準而同時導通該第一開關SW1與該第二開關SW2。因此,於本實施例中,該閥值係設定為輸入源基準值的誤差10%以內為最佳。此外,為避免該切換時間Th過長而導致該電源備援系統100供應負載的輸出電源Vo受到影響。因此,於本實施例中,該切換時間Th係設定為10毫秒為最佳。 Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a waveform diagram of the switch switching of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the power backup system 100 detects the first input source Vs1 and the second input source Vs2 before running. When the quality of one of the input sources is better, the control unit 30 is configured. Switching the switch corresponding to the better quality input source. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, the quality of the first input source Vs1 is better, and thus the first switch SW1 is turned on. And when the quality of the first input source Vs1 is lower than the threshold or the first input source Vs1, the control unit 30 does not turn on the first switch SW1 and turns on the second switch SW2 to input the input power Vin By the first loser The source Vs1 is switched to the second input source Vs2. The first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 inside the switch units (Q1~Qn+1) have a switching time Th when the first input source Vs1 and the second input source Vs2 are switched. More specifically, the switching time Th is a delay time between when the first switch SW1 is turned off and when the second switch SW2 is turned on, or when the second switch SW2 is turned off to when the first switch SW1 is turned on. The time must be such that the power supply units (P1~Pn+1) can tolerate the time when the input power source Vin is not present temporarily. It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent the first input source Vs1 from being lower than the threshold, the second input source Vs2 also fails to reach the threshold value while turning on the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the threshold is set to within 10% of the error of the input source reference value. In addition, the output power supply Vo that supplies the load to the power backup system 100 is affected to avoid the switching time Th being too long. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is preferable that the switching time Th is set to 10 milliseconds.
