Abstract

A distributed energy power source control method, apparatus and system are provided. The method includes the following steps. The total amount of energy provided by an energy supply apparatus for various loads in a system is read. Energy data of each load is collected, the energy data including: a power supply voltage, a power supply current, a reactive power, an active power, and power consumption. The total power consumption of all the loads in the system is calculated. An energy allocation policy is determined by comparing the total power consumption and the total amount of energy, the energy allocation policy including: allocating energy according to a priority level of each load, and switching energy modes according to a power factor of each load. The method, apparatus and system can provide loads with dynamic power distribution modes, thereby improving the working efficiency, reliability and stability of an entire power supply system.
