Abstract
Disclosed are a power supply control apparatus and a power supply control method. The power supply control apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a measurement unit configured to generate measurement data indicating a state of each of a plurality of power supply modules, a monitoring unit configured to generate monitoring information including at least one of aging level information and load factor information based on the measurement data, and a main control unit configured to control each of the plurality of power supply modules into an operating mode or a non-operating mode based on the monitoring information.
Claims15
A power supply control apparatus comprising:
- a measurement unit configured to generate measurement data indicating a state of each of first to n-th power supply modules, wherein the power supply modules are configured to supply direct current power to an electrical load device;
- a monitoring unit configured to generate monitoring information including at least one of aging level information and load factor information based on the measurement data, wherein among first to n-th aging levels of the aging level information, an i-th aging level indicates an aging level of an i-th power supply module among the first to n-th power supply modules, and among first to n-th load factors of the load factor information, an i-th load factor indicates a load factor of the i-th power supply module;
- and
- a main control unit configured to control each of the first to n-th power supply modules into an operating mode or a non-operating mode based on the monitoring information,
- wherein n is a natural number of 2 or greater, and i is a natural number of n or smaller.
A power supply control method comprising:
- generating measurement data indicating a state of each of first to n-th power supply modules configured to supply direct current power to an electrical device;
- generating monitoring information including at least one of aging level information or load factor information based on the measurement data, wherein among first to n-th aging levels of the aging level information, an i-th aging level indicates an aging level of an i-th power supply module among the first to n-th power supply modules, and among first to n-th load factors of the load factor information, an i-th load factor indicates a load factor of the i-th power supply module;
- and
- controlling each of the first to n-th power supply modules into an operating mode or a non-operating mode based on the monitoring information,
- wherein n is a natural number of 2 or greater, and i is a natural number of n or smaller.
