Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of power supply and distribution in data centers, and more specifically relates to a supercapacitor power grid current stabilization system. Background Art

[0003] As a new productivity, the market demand for high-computing chips and servers has grown rapidly. In particular, the high-performance chips such as H100 and H200 launched by NVIDIA in recent years have brought about the rapid development of large-scale artificial intelligence model training. With the rapid development of the field of artificial intelligence, the high computing power required by AI chips during operation has led to a sharp increase in power consumption, and the power consumption of computing data centers has also increased sharply. For example, the peak power consumption of a single H100 chip is as high as 700W, and the annual power consumption of a single chip has reached more than 6MW. Therefore, with the development of AI computing power, it has posed a huge challenge to the power system.

[0004] At present, in the actual operation of computing power data centers, the real-time power of computing power data centers will experience periodic cliff-like power drop phenomena. For example, in a computing power data center, within a power oscillation cycle of about 36 seconds, the total power will drop twice in an instantaneous cliff-like manner. The low power state lasts for about 4 seconds, and then the power of the computing power data center recovers linearly, with the maximum power drop reaching about 80%. This periodic power oscillation has a huge impact on the safe operation of the power grid. In order to ensure the safety of the power grid, it is urgent to eliminate this power oscillation phenomenon in computing power data centers.

[0005] The power oscillation of the computing power data center is a phenomenon found in the actual operation of computing power chips and computing power servers. It is difficult to solve this phenomenon from the optimization of computing power chips and computing power servers. Starting from the power system of the computing power data center, the power supply and distribution system is further optimized to periodically absorb and release the energy changes of the power oscillation of the computing power data center, maintain the stability of the power of the power grid, and thus solve this phenomenon of power periodic oscillation. At present, the most common way to regulate power is to use batteries to store and release electrical energy. Lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries and other batteries are chemical power sources. Although they have the characteristics of high energy density, their power density is low, and they have large capacity for high-power energy storage systems, slow charging and discharging speed, short life, and high system safety requirements. Supercapacitors are physical power sources with the advantages of good energy storage timeliness, high power density, fast charging speed, long cycle life, safety and reliability, green and environmental protection, ultra-fast high-frequency charging and discharging capabilities, life of up to 1.5 million times / 10 years, and a wide temperature range of -40 to +65℃. Therefore, in response to the power oscillation phenomenon in computing data centers, developing a supercapacitor grid current stabilization system that is fast, has an ultra-long life, and is safe and reliable is an important technical approach to solving the problem of grid safety.

[0009] Preferably, the bidirectional converter can be directly connected to the low-voltage AC busbar to directly adjust the power change of the power grid on the low-voltage side.

[0010] Preferably, the supercapacitor can be directly connected to the bidirectional converter to directly match the DC side voltage range of the bidirectional converter in a series-parallel manner.
