Hybrid-cooled load bank with solid-state fast varying load simulation

Abstract

A hybrid-cooled load bank rack with solid-state fast varying load simulator combines liquid-cooled load bank module and air-cooled load bank module within a single rack frame to enable testing of hybrid-cooled data center infrastructures. The hybrid-cooled load bank rack incorporates a solid-state relay switching assembly containing power semiconductor devices, gate driver and snubber network, and inline current sensors to dynamically modulate power delivery according to programmable time-versus-power profiles. A central controller with a programmable load profile engine encodes power demand datasets into control signals and adjusts load allocation between liquid and air cooling paths based on cooling feedback from a CDU feedback interface. A method for simulating fast-varying hybrid-cooled server rack power loads applies programmable power profiles through the solid-state relay switching assembly while monitoring system metrics and streaming real-time power and thermal telemetry to external control systems for coordinated cooling performance analysis.
