Apparatus and mehtod for controlling power supply

Abstract

The power supply control apparatus is provided. The power supply control apparatus includes: a switching module configured to connect a power supply unit of a vehicle and a capacitor bank configured to store power output from the power supply unit; and a controller configured to monitor a voltage of the capacitor bank and control an operation of the switching module based on a result of the monitoring, wherein the controller includes: a switching driver configured to output a switching control signal to control the operation of the switching module; an analog-to-digital converter configured to monitor the voltage of the capacitor bank; and a processor configured to determine a degradation state of the capacitor bank based on the monitoring result and control a duty ratio of the switching control signal based on the determined degradation state.
