In addition, DTU is also compatible with a variety of communication interfaces and standard communication protocols, integrating measurement and control, protection and communication functions. With the acceleration of the intelligentization and automation of power systems, the role of DTU equipment in distribution networks has become increasingly important. However, during operation, DTU may cause power supply fluctuations or interruptions due to occasional power outages or necessary power outage inspections. If the equipment lacks a power-off retention design, it may cause historical data to be lost, which in turn affects the monitoring and control of distribution network automation. Therefore, DTU equipment needs to have a strong power guarantee capability to ensure the safe storage of data in the event of a power outage.

[0003] At present, power-off retention design has been widely used in many fields, and diversified technical solutions have emerged to meet the needs of different fields. In the field of industrial automation, the invention patent with publication number CN116382561A proposes a flexible and reliable data power-off retention method, which can effectively obtain the power-off data of the industrial control system, solving the problem of insufficient flexibility and reliability of the traditional power-off retention solution; another invention patent with publication number CN117785561A designs a power-off retention circuit for motion controllers, which improves the operating reliability of motion controllers in power-off situations. In the field of medical equipment, the invention patent with publication number CN117498528B proposes an optimized power-off data retention circuit design, which solves the problem of high transportation and manufacturing costs caused by using batteries as backup power supplies in medical equipment, and improves the economy and practicality of power-off protection of medical equipment. In the field of smart grids, the invention patent with publication number CN201336565Y integrates the power-off retention circuit into the underground low-voltage feeder switch integrated protector, which not only simplifies the external circuit design, but also improves the reliability of the microcomputer protection function. In the field of aerospace, the invention patent with publication number CN112003464A has designed a power-off holding circuit that meets the requirements of Class B DC power supply equipment under the RTCA-DO-160 standard, ensuring the stable performance of avionics equipment in the event of a power outage. In the field of automotive electronics, the invention patent with publication number CN105553079A has proposed a precise power-off control design, which effectively avoids a series of problems caused by the complexity of traditional circuit maintenance and capacitor failure.

[0004] Although the power-off holding circuit design has shown high practicality in various fields, its actual application in distribution network automation terminal equipment is relatively limited. Although some DTU devices try to combine supercapacitors with switching circuit designs, there is a high energy loss in the power conversion process, which makes it difficult for the equipment to achieve efficient and stable operation in the event of a power failure.

[0037] The present invention relates to a circuit design based on power-off retention of distribution network automation terminal (DTU). The circuit is designed to provide at least 2 seconds of power support for the DTU core unit when the main power supply is disconnected or fluctuates, to ensure its normal operation and complete the necessary data storage. The invention combines a switch circuit, a supercapacitor circuit and a DC-DC boost conversion circuit to achieve efficient and stable power-off retention capability. The description and specific implementation of each component are as follows.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 When the 5V system power supply is normally supplied, the transistor Q1 is turned on, the gate level of the field effect tube is pulled down, Q2 is completely turned on, and the 5V system power supply supplies power to the subsequent circuit, and the voltage drop on Q2 is extremely small at this time; the supercapacitors C1 and C2 are in a charging state, and because the transistor Q3 belonging to the DC-DC boost conversion circuit is also in a conducting state, the enable terminal EN of the DC-DC boost chip is in a low level, causing the DC-DC boost converter to be in a shutdown state, the DC-DC boost converter stops working, and the conversion circuit is in an idle state.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to reduce the voltage drop on the field effect transistor Q2 and reduce power loss, the gate of Q2 is controlled by the transistor Q1 to ensure a rapid switching process while reducing the voltage drop.

[0040] Furthermore, the resistor R2 is used to prevent Q1 from entering an erroneous conduction state due to leakage current after power failure.

[0041] Furthermore, when the 5V system power supply is normally supplied, the parallel design of the current limiting resistors R4 and R5 controls the charging current to prevent overcurrent from damaging the supercapacitor.

[0042] Furthermore, supercapacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series to provide a higher operating voltage range, ensuring rapid release of energy during discharge.

[0043] Furthermore, the filter capacitor C3 is used to stabilize the voltage and reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations on the subsequent circuit.

[0044] Exemplarily, the transistor Q1 is S9013-E or a similar component; the field effect transistor Q2 is IRF7416TRPBF or an equivalent model; the resistance values ​​of the resistors R1 and R2 are 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ.

[0045] Exemplarily, the capacity of supercapacitors C1 and C2 is 10F / 2.7V; the resistance of current limiting resistors R3 and R4 is 10Ω; and the capacity of filter capacitor C3 is 10µF.

[0046] For example, the boost chip U1 uses TPS61023DRLT or similar models; the inductor L1 is 1µH; the filter capacitors C4 and C5 have a capacity of 22µF / 16V; the protection diode D1 is SS34-SMB, the transistor uses S9013-E or similar components, and R7, R8, R9, R10, and R11 are 1K, 10K, 6.8K, 787K, and 100K respectively.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 , when the 5V system power is off, both transistor Q1 and field effect transistor Q2 are in the cut-off state. Due to the cut-off of field effect transistor Q2, the current backflow is effectively prevented, protecting the circuit safety. At the same time, transistor Q3 is also in the cut-off state, so that the enable terminal (EN) of the DC-DC boost chip remains at a high level. At this time, the DC-DC boost chip starts to work, and the boost conversion circuit starts and performs the boost function. In this process, the supercapacitor starts to discharge and provide power support. Through U1, the voltage is boosted to a stable 5V, providing a reliable power supply guarantee for the continuous operation of the core unit. Furthermore, Q3 controls the start and stop of U1, and starts the boost function when the 5V system power is disconnected.

[0048] Furthermore, the base of the transistor Q3 is connected to a 5V system power supply via a current limiting resistor R7 as a control signal of the DC-DC boost converter circuit.

[0049] Furthermore, the resistor R8 is used to prevent Q3 from entering an erroneous conduction state due to leakage current after power failure.

[0050] Furthermore, the diode D1 is used to prevent the current from flowing in the opposite direction and protect the circuit; It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the design of the present invention is applicable to the following scenarios: 1. Power-off protection and data storage of distribution network automation terminal (DTU).

[0051] 2. Power supply guarantee for smart grid, energy management and remote monitoring equipment.

[0052] 3. Other electronic devices that need to maintain short-term operation in the event of a power outage, such as industrial controllers, communication equipment, etc.

[0053] Through the implementation of the present invention, the reliability and data security of the distribution network automation terminal in the event of a power outage can be effectively improved, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the smart grid.

[0054] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the structure of the present invention in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present invention are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
