Abstract
Examples of power source adjustment can include a device that includes a sensing device to measure a first thermal temperature of a first power source and second thermal temperature of a second power source, a controller to balance power sourced by each of the first and the second power sources based on the first and the second thermal temperatures, and a circuit to adjust the power sourced by each of the first and the second power sources based on the balanced sourced power.
Claims17
A system for power source adjustment, comprising:
- a sensing device to measure a first thermal temperature of a first power source and second thermal temperature of a second power source;
- a controller to balance power sourced by each of the first and the second power sources based on the first and the second thermal temperatures;
- and
- a circuit to adjust the power sourced by each of the first and the second power sources based on the balanced sourced power.
A system for power source adjustment, comprising:
- a first sensing device to measure a first thermal temperature of a first power source;
- a second sensing device to measure a second thermal temperature of a second power source, the second power source wired in parallel to the first power source;
- a controller to:
- receive from the first sensing device a first signal associated with the first thermal temperature;
- receive from the second sensing device a second signal associated with the second thermal temperature;
- and
- generate a first response signal associated with the first power source and a second response signal associated with the second power source in response to the received first and second signals;
- and
- a circuit to adjust the power sourced by each of the first and the second power sources based on the first and the second response signals.
A method for power source adjustment, comprising, by a controller:
- receiving a plurality of measured thermal temperatures of a plurality of power sources wired in parallel;
- determining a thermal stress level for each of the plurality of power sources based on the plurality of measured thermal temperatures;
- determining, responsive to a difference between at least two of the plurality of thermal stresses, a balance of power between the plurality of power sources based on the plurality of thermal stresses;
- and
- instructing adjustment of the power sourced to each of the plurality of power sources based on the determined balance.
