Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for configuring cold redundancy of a power source. The method includes determining an efficient range and an inefficient range of an efficiency-load curve of a power supply unit (PSU), wherein the efficiency-load curve is acquired by testing the PSU in advance. If the PSU operates in the efficient range when voltage of the PSU is before a preconfigured power source configuration point, or if the PSU operates in the inefficient range when the voltage of the PSU is after the preconfigured power source configuration point, the method includes recalculating the preconfigured power source configuration point. If neither, then the method includes determining that the preconfigured power source configuration point is a power source configuration point, wherein the power source configuration point is a voltage value at which a standby PSU is switched to a power supply PSU when cold redundancy is configured.

Claims (13)

1. A method for configuring cold redundancy of a power source, comprising:

determining an efficient range and an inefficient range of an efficiency-load curve of a power supply unit (PSU), wherein the efficiency-load curve is acquired by testing the PSU in advance; and

in response to a first case that the PSU operates in the efficient range when a voltage of the PSU is less than a preconfigured power source configuration point, or the PSU operates in the inefficient range when the voltage of the PSU is greater than the preconfigured power source configuration point, recalculating the preconfigured power source configuration point;

in response to a second case that the PSU operates in the inefficient range when a voltage of the PSU is less than a preconfigured power source configuration point, and the PSU operates in the efficient range when the voltage of the PSU is greater than the preconfigured power source configuration point, the preconfigured power source configuration point is determined as a power source configuration point;

wherein the power source configuration point is a voltage value at which a standby PSU is switched to a power supply PSU when cold redundancy is configured, and

the determining an efficient range and an inefficient range of an efficiency-load curve of a power supply unit (PSU) comprises:

acquiring an efficiency maximum point of the PSU on the efficiency-load curve;

determining a load value of the PSU based on the efficiency maximum point according to the efficiency-load curve; and

determining a range from 0 to the load value of the PSU as the inefficient range and a range from the load value of the PSU to 100% as the efficient range.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the recalculating the preconfigured power source configuration point comprises:

recalculating the preconfigured power source configuration point according to a connection point between the efficient range and the inefficient range.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the preconfigured power source configuration point is acquired by algebraic calculation based on a load current segment by segment.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the power source comprises a direct-current power source.
