The control module 11 is connected to the mains power access module 1, the photovoltaic controller 6, the charge / discharge controller 7, and the battery 12. The AC load 16 includes a primary AC load branch 1601, a secondary AC load branch 1602, and a tertiary AC load branch 1603. The DC load 17 is divided into a primary DC load branch 1701, a secondary DC load branch 1702, and a tertiary DC load branch 1703. A first control switch 18 is connected between the mains power access module 1 and the first AC-AC converter 2; a second control switch 19 is connected between the mains power access module 1 and the rectifier 3; a third control switch 20 is connected between the photovoltaic controller 6 and the charge / discharge controller 7; a fourth control switch 21 is connected between the photovoltaic controller 6 and the first inverter 8; a fifth control switch 22 is connected between the photovoltaic controller 6 and the second DC-DC converter 9; a sixth control switch 23 is connected between the battery 12 and the third DC-DC converter 13; and a seventh control switch 24 is connected between the battery 12 and the second inverter 14.The first-level AC load branch 1601, the second-level AC load branch 1602, and the third-level AC load branch 1603 are respectively connected to an eighth control switch 25, a ninth control switch 26, and a tenth control switch 27.

The first-level AC load branches are critical infrastructure: such as AC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems; and cooling systems: precision air conditioners (CRAC) and chillers (to ensure equipment heat dissipation). These directly affect the equipment operating environment and power supply stability. Secondary AC load branches are for auxiliary power equipment: general air conditioners (non-precision type), ventilators; general lighting systems (non-emergency areas), corridor lighting. Tertiary AC load branches are for non-continuously operating or non-critical equipment, such as water dispensers, microwave ovens, general computers, printers, and non-core area lighting. They can tolerate prolonged interruptions without affecting business operations.
[0019] During the day, when there is sufficient sunlight, the solar photovoltaic array generates electricity normally. The fourth and fifth control switches are closed to prioritize powering DC and AC loads from the solar photovoltaic array. Excess electricity generated by the array is stored in the battery, and the third control switch is closed to charge the battery. During periods of abnormal sunlight (such as cloudy or rainy days) or at night, when the solar photovoltaic array fails to generate electricity normally, the first and second control switches are closed to use mains power to supply DC and AC loads. During consecutive cloudy or rainy days, if the battery is not fully charged and reaches its lower discharge limit, mains power is used to charge the battery, ensuring power supply to the server room during power outages. When the solar photovoltaic array fails to generate power normally and is powered off, close the sixth and seventh control switches to use the battery to supply power to the DC and AC loads. Based on the remaining battery power and the time of power restoration, select the load to be supplied via the eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, or thirteenth control switches. Prioritize disconnecting the power supply to the third-level DC load branch and the third-level AC load branch, and then disconnect the power supply to the second-level AC load branch. The power supply to the second-level DC load branch is selected based on the remaining battery power and the time of power restoration, and can be interrupted for a short time. Prioritize supplying power to the first-level DC load branch and the first-level AC load branch.
[0020] This utility model's photovoltaic-coupled power supply system for computer rooms combines mains power and photovoltaic power generation. Through the rational configuration of rectifiers, inverters, and other components, it achieves flexible conversion between AC and DC power, providing stable power to both AC and DC loads within the computer room. By prioritizing loads based on their importance, it effectively ensures the power supply to critical equipment in the computer room, improving the reliability and stability of the power supply. Utilizing photovoltaic power generation reduces dependence on mains power, lowers energy consumption and operating costs, and offers significant energy-saving and environmental benefits.
[0021] The primary AC load branch 1601, secondary AC load branch 1602, and tertiary AC load branch 1603, as well as the primary DC load branch 1701, secondary DC load branch 1702, and tertiary DC load branch 1703, are respectively connected to voltage sensors and current sensors.

[0022] The control module 11 is also wirelessly connected to the meteorological service platform 31; the control module connects to the meteorological service platform to obtain meteorological data, such as the weather conditions in the near future, so as to facilitate the prediction of the power generation of the solar photovoltaic array.
[0023] The control module 11 is also wirelessly connected to a light intensity sensor 32. The light intensity sensor is installed in the area where the solar photovoltaic array is located to monitor the light intensity. Based on the light intensity and the voltage and current output by the solar photovoltaic array, it determines whether the solar photovoltaic array is generating electricity normally and whether there is any abnormality.
[0024] Work process:
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During the day, when there is sufficient sunlight, the solar photovoltaic array 5 generates electricity normally. The fourth control switch 21 and the fifth control switch 22 are closed, prioritizing the use of the solar photovoltaic array 5 to supply power to the DC load 17 and the AC load 16. Excess electricity generated by the solar photovoltaic array 1 is stored in the battery 12, and the third control switch 20 is closed to charge the battery 12. When sunlight is abnormal during the day (such as on cloudy or rainy days) or at night, and the solar photovoltaic array 1 fails to generate electricity normally, the first control switch 18 and the second control switch 19 are closed to use mains power to supply power to the DC load 17 and the AC load 16. When the solar photovoltaic array 1 fails to generate power normally and is powered off, close the sixth control switch 23 and the seventh control switch 24 to use the battery 12 to supply power to the DC load 17 and the AC load 16. Based on the remaining power of the battery 12 and the time of power restoration, select the load to be supplied via the eighth control switch 25, the ninth control switch 26, the tenth control switch 27, the eleventh control switch 28, the twelfth control switch 29 or the thirteenth control switch 30. Prioritize disconnecting the power supply to the third-level DC load branch 1703 and the third-level AC load branch 1603, and then disconnect the power supply to the second-level AC load branch 1602. The power supply to the second-level DC load branch 1702 is selected based on the remaining power of the battery and the time of power restoration, and can be interrupted for a short time. Prioritize supplying power to the first-level DC load branch 1701 and the first-level AC load branch 1601.
