Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply technology, and specifically to a method and system for optimizing the efficiency of parallel power supplies. Background Technology
[0002] In modern power systems, parallel power supply systems are widely used due to their ability to provide high power output, redundancy, and flexible expansion capabilities. However, with the increasing demands for efficiency and stability from power electronic devices, parallel power supply systems face some pressing problems during operation. Traditional parallel power supply systems often suffer from low current sharing accuracy when distributing load current, leading to overload of some power modules while other modules are lightly loaded. This not only affects the lifespan of the power modules but also reduces the efficiency of the entire parallel power supply system. Furthermore, under different operating conditions, such as load changes and input voltage fluctuations, traditional control methods struggle to adjust the operating status of the power modules in real time to achieve optimal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Combined with the state estimate value of the previous moment, the state is predicted and updated through the adaptively adjusted process noise covariance matrix and observation noise covariance matrix, thus completing the filtering process and suppressing real-time noise interference.
[0012] A probabilistic graphical model is constructed among the power supply modules, and an information exchange channel between adjacent modules is established through a communication network.

[0021] The three control components obtained from the PID controller—proportional coefficient, integral coefficient, and derivative coefficient—are linearly superimposed and added to a pre-set reference control signal value to obtain the final voltage regulator control signal value.
[0022] The voltage regulator control signal value is limited, and the limited digital control signal is converted into an analog voltage signal by a digital-to-analog converter and pre-processed by a signal conditioning circuit.
[0023] The processed analog control signal is transmitted to the corresponding power module voltage regulator. After receiving the control signal, the voltage regulator adjusts its internal regulating element according to the signal value to regulate the output voltage of the power module.
[0024] Optionally, in a fifth implementation of the first aspect of the present invention, during the voltage regulation process, the output voltage and current data of the power supply module are continuously collected, the actual output voltage is compared with the target value, the regulation error is calculated, and the error information is fed back to the fuzzy PID controller.
[0025] Optionally, in a sixth implementation of the first aspect of the present invention, the step of calculating the efficiency of each power supply module based on its input voltage, output voltage, and output current, determining the optimal operating point of each power supply module based on its efficiency and load conditions, and adjusting the input power of the power supply modules to complete the overall parallel power supply efficiency optimization includes:
[0026] Calculate the efficiency of each power module based on its input voltage, output voltage, and output current.
[0027] With the goal of maximizing the overall efficiency of the parallel power supply system, a mathematical model is established that includes the efficiency characteristics of each module, load distribution constraints, and input power limits.
[0028] Randomly generate an initial particle swarm, with each particle representing a combination of working point parameters, and assign an initial position and velocity vector to each particle;
[0029] Calculate the fitness value of each particle, update the individual's historical best position and global best position, and update the velocity and position of each particle according to the iterative process of the particle swarm optimization algorithm.
[0030] During the particle update process, each particle is checked to see if it meets the pre-set constraints. For particles that violate the constraints, boundary processing is used to correct them. The constraints include at least meeting the total load requirements, the upper and lower limits of module power, and the safe range of voltage and current.
[0031] When the maximum number of iterations is reached, the iteration stops, the currently found global optimal solution is output, the global optimal solution obtained by the particle swarm optimization algorithm is converted into the actual control parameters of each power module, and sent to each power module to adjust the module operating point and realize the overall efficiency optimization of the parallel power system.

[0044] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” or “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0045] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention is described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 A flowchart of the parallel power supply efficiency optimization method provided in this embodiment of the invention is shown. The method specifically includes the following steps:
[0046] Step 101: Collect the output current of each power module in real time through the current sensor of each power module, and at the same time collect the total output current of the parallel power system and the input voltage and output voltage of each power module.
[0047] In this embodiment, the output current data of each module is acquired in real time through the current sensor built into each power module. At the same time, the total output current of the parallel power system and the input and output voltages of each module are collected. The collected output current, input voltage, and output voltage are used as the observation values of the Kalman filter. Combined with the state estimate value of the previous moment, the state prediction and update are performed through the adaptively adjusted process noise covariance matrix and observation noise covariance matrix to complete the filtering process and suppress real-time noise interference. A probabilistic graphical model is constructed among the power modules, and an information exchange channel between adjacent modules is established through a communication network. Each power module updates its posterior distribution of state based on the received multi-source information and fuses local estimation and neighborhood information through the message passing algorithm of the probabilistic graphical model, forming a globally collaborative state estimation result and suppressing the influence of sensor noise from a single module on the overall state judgment.
[0048] In this embodiment, each power module calculates its own posterior probability distribution based on the collected current and voltage data using the Bayesian estimation method, and transmits the estimation results to the adjacent modules through the communication link to receive cooperation information from the adjacent modules.
[0049] In this embodiment, a power module refers to a basic unit in a parallel power supply system that has independent power conversion capabilities. It typically includes circuits for input filtering, power conversion, and output regulation, and can supply power to the load individually or collaboratively. The number of power modules is n (n≥2). Current sensors (such as Hall effect sensors, shunts, etc.) are detection devices installed at the output terminals of each power module to monitor the module's output current in real time, converting the current into a voltage or digital signal that can be recognized by the control system. The output current is the current value provided by a single power module to the load, reflecting the real-time load status of that module and is a core parameter for judging the load distribution balance. The parallel power supply system consists of multiple... A power supply system composed of multiple power modules connected in parallel via electrical connections can expand its output power by increasing the number of modules, while also possessing redundancy backup capabilities to improve power supply reliability; the total output current is the sum of the output currents of all parallel power modules, used to measure the overall load level of the system and as a target benchmark for current sharing control; the input voltage is the real-time voltage value at the input terminal of each power module, i.e., the voltage supplied to the module by the external power supply network, which affects the calculation of the module's input power and efficiency; the output voltage is the real-time voltage value at the output terminal of each power module, i.e., the supply voltage provided by the module to the load, which needs to be maintained stable by a voltage regulator or dynamically adjusted according to control signals.
[0050] Step 102: Calculate the current sharing error of each power module, and use the current sharing error and the rate of change of the current sharing error as inputs to the fuzzy PID controller. Adjust the proportional coefficient, integral coefficient and derivative coefficient of the fuzzy PID controller through fuzzy inference rules.
[0051] In this embodiment, the output current of each power module is compared with the average current to obtain the current sharing error of each power module; the current sharing error calculated at the current moment is differentially processed with the current sharing error of the previous sampling period, and the current sharing error change rate is obtained after time interval normalization; the calculated current sharing error and its change rate are used as input variables of the fuzzy PID controller, and the input variables are converted into corresponding fuzzy linguistic variables and their membership degrees through the membership function; based on the combination of fuzzy linguistic variables of the current current sharing error and the error change rate, the proportional coefficient, integral coefficient, and derivative coefficient of the fuzzy PID controller are obtained through fuzzy logic operation; the fuzzy output result of the fuzzy PID parameter adjustment obtained by fuzzy inference is converted into parameter adjustment amount through the maximum membership method, the optimal values of the three control components of the fuzzy PID controller under the current operating condition are determined, and real-time updates are performed.
[0052] In this embodiment, the current sharing error is the difference between the actual output current of a single power module and the average output current of the system, directly reflecting the degree of imbalance in the load distribution among the modules. If the current sharing error > 0, it indicates that the load of the module is higher than the average level; if the current sharing error < 0, the load is lower than the average level. This parameter is the core basis for judging the current sharing control requirements and is used to quantify the deviation of each module from the ideal current sharing state.
[0053] The rate of change of the flow sharing error is the amount of change in the flow sharing error per unit time, characterizing the trend and speed of change of the flow sharing error. By analyzing the sign and absolute value of the rate of change of the flow sharing error, it is possible to determine whether the system is currently in the error convergence, divergence, or steady-state stage, providing dynamic trend information for the control strategy.
[0054] A fuzzy PID controller is a composite controller that integrates fuzzy logic and traditional PID control. It adjusts PID parameters online through fuzzy inference to adapt to dynamic system changes. The fuzzy inference rules are based on a pre-defined logical rule base derived from expert experience and system operating data. The proportional gain is a parameter in the PID controller used to amplify or reduce the current error signal, directly affecting the system's response speed. When the current sharing error is large or changes drastically, increasing the proportional gain enhances the controller's response to the current error and accelerates the current sharing adjustment speed. When the error is small, appropriately decreasing the proportional gain avoids system overshoot. The integral gain is a parameter used to accumulate historical error signals, primarily eliminating steady-state errors. If the current sharing error persists for a long time, increasing the integral gain strengthens the integral action, gradually eliminating the accumulated deviation. If the system is in a dynamic change phase, decreasing the integral gain avoids adjustment delay caused by integral saturation. The derivative gain is a parameter used to predict the error change trend, adjusting the control quantity based on the error change rate to suppress system oscillations. When the error change rate is positive, increasing the derivative gain provides damping and slows error growth. When the error change rate is negative, appropriately adjusting the derivative gain balances system response speed and stability.
[0055] Step 103: Calculate the control signal of the voltage regulator of each power module according to the adjusted PID parameters, and adjust the voltage regulator of the power module by adjusting the control signal to adjust the output voltage of the power module.
[0056] In this embodiment, the three control components—proportional coefficient, integral coefficient, and derivative coefficient—obtained by the PID controller are linearly superimposed and added to a pre-set reference control signal value to obtain the final voltage regulator control signal value. The voltage regulator control signal value is then subjected to amplitude limiting, and the amplitude-limited digital control signal is converted into an analog voltage signal via a digital-to-analog converter and pre-processed by a signal conditioning circuit. The processed analog control signal is then transmitted to the corresponding power module voltage regulator. After receiving the control signal, the voltage regulator adjusts its internal regulating elements according to the signal value to regulate the output voltage of the power module.
[0057] In this embodiment, during the voltage regulation process, the output voltage and current data of the power module are continuously collected, the actual output voltage is compared with the target value, the regulation error is calculated, and the error information is fed back to the fuzzy PID controller.
[0058] In this embodiment, the voltage regulator is the core component inside the power module used to regulate the output voltage. It is usually composed of a feedback control circuit and a power regulation element. It adjusts the output voltage by receiving control signals, thereby changing the module's output current. According to Ohm's law, voltage changes will affect the load current distribution. For example, a switching voltage regulator changes the output voltage by adjusting the PWM duty cycle, while a linear regulator achieves voltage stability by adjusting the voltage drop of the power transistor.
[0059] In this embodiment, the current flow sharing error value is substituted into the PID controller with adjusted parameters to calculate the proportional, integral, and derivative control components respectively:
[0060] Proportional component calculation: Multiply the flow sharing error value by the proportional coefficient to obtain the proportional control component that reflects the current error magnitude. This component provides rapid response capability.
[0061] Integral component calculation: The historical average flow error values are accumulated and summed, and then multiplied by the integral coefficient to obtain the integral control component that reflects the cumulative effect of error. This component is used to eliminate steady-state error.
[0062] Differential component calculation: Calculate the difference between the current flow averaging error value and the error value at the previous moment, and multiply it by the differential coefficient to obtain the differential control component that reflects the trend of error change. This component provides prediction and damping effects.
[0063] In this embodiment, the limiting process involves comparing the control signal value with preset upper and lower threshold values. If the value exceeds the threshold range, it is limited to the threshold boundary to prevent system instability or equipment damage caused by excessive control signal.
[0064] Step 104: Calculate the efficiency of each power module based on its input voltage, output voltage, and output current. Determine the optimal operating point of each power module based on its efficiency and load conditions, and adjust the input power of the power modules to complete the efficiency optimization of the entire parallel power supply.
[0065] In this embodiment, the efficiency of each power module is calculated based on its input voltage, output voltage, and output current. With the goal of maximizing the overall efficiency of the parallel power system, a mathematical model is established that includes the efficiency characteristics of each module, load distribution constraints, and input power limits. An initial particle swarm is randomly generated, with each particle representing a combination of operating point parameters. An initial position and velocity vector are assigned to each particle. The fitness value of each particle is calculated, and its historical best position and global best position are updated. The velocity and position of each particle are updated according to the iterative process of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. During particle updates, each particle is checked to ensure it meets pre-set constraints. For particles that violate constraints, boundary conditions are used for correction. These constraints include at least meeting the total load requirement, module power limits, and voltage and current safety ranges. When the maximum number of iterations is reached, iteration stops, and the currently found global optimal solution is output. The global optimal solution obtained by the particle swarm optimization algorithm is converted into the actual control parameters of each power module and sent to each power module to adjust the module's operating point, thereby achieving overall efficiency optimization of the parallel power system.

The collected output current, input voltage, and output voltage are used as the observation values of the Kalman filter. Combined with the state estimate value of the previous moment, the state is predicted and updated through the adaptively adjusted process noise covariance matrix and observation noise covariance matrix, thus completing the filtering process and suppressing real-time noise interference. A probabilistic graphical model is constructed among the power supply modules, and an information exchange channel between adjacent modules is established through a communication network. Each power supply module updates its posterior distribution of state by fusing local estimation and neighborhood information through the message passing algorithm of the probabilistic graphical model based on the received multi-source information, forming a globally collaborative state estimation result and suppressing the influence of sensor noise from a single module on the overall state judgment.

The current average error calculated at the current moment is compared with the current average error of the previous sampling period. The rate of change of the current average error is obtained after normalization by time interval. The calculated flow rate error and its rate of change are used as input variables of the fuzzy PID controller. The input variables are converted into corresponding fuzzy linguistic variables and their membership degrees through the membership function. Based on the current combination of fuzzy linguistic variables of the current flow sharing error and the error change rate, the proportional coefficient, integral coefficient and derivative coefficient for the fuzzy PID controller are obtained through fuzzy logic operation; The fuzzy output results of the fuzzy PID parameter adjustment obtained by fuzzy inference are converted into parameter adjustment quantities by the maximum membership method.
