Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power distribution, and in particular to a power supply control system and method for a ring main unit. Background Art
[0002] As an important component of modern power distribution systems, ring main units are widely used in urban power grids, industrial parks, data centers, and other scenarios that require high power supply stability. Ring main units are usually used to distribute, control, and protect electrical energy in power systems. Their core functions include improving power supply reliability, optimizing power dispatching, and reducing the impact of faults.
[0003] The existing power supply control system of the ring main unit usually adopts a fixed power supply configuration, that is, the main power supply and backup power supply are pre-specified in the design stage, and the backup power supply is switched only when the main power supply fails. However, this method has the following technical defects: First, due to the failure of dynamic adjustment of the fixed power supply configuration, some power supplies may be in a low-load state for a long time, while some power supplies may suffer from increased losses due to high-load operation, reducing the overall power supply efficiency; secondly, most existing systems rely on manual or preset logic for power switching, which makes it difficult to select the optimal power supply according to the real-time grid load conditions, resulting in delayed power scheduling and affecting the power supply quality; at the same time, when the load suddenly changes or a power supply fails, the existing system may have a switching delay, or even cause a short-term power outage, affecting the continuous operation of critical loads; finally, the existing system fails to optimize the operating status and load conditions of different power supplies in real time, which may cause some power supplies to operate at high load for a long time, shortening the life of the equipment and increasing maintenance costs.
