Application of HVDC and UPS in communication

Abstract: By comparing the traditional UPS (UninterrupTIble Power Supply) power supply mode with HVDC (high-voltage direct current, high voltage DC) mode, it is pointed out that the use of HVDC power supply can effectively improve the power supply quality of the equipment room The advantages of investment, high reliability, and low operating cost have gradually become a new power supply mode for operators' computer rooms.

With the safe operation of the UPS power supply system in the communication room, more and more attention has been paid to the industry, and it is also an important link that maintenance personnel are most worried about. The data room in the communication industry generally uses the UPS power system for power supply. Some communication operators have begun to explore and analyze the feasibility of adopting HVDC power supply for communication equipment, and have achieved initial results. The HVDC power supply system has gradually become a new power supply mode for the telecommunications operator's computer room with advantages such as low investment, high reliability, and low operating cost. This article makes some discussion and analysis on the use of HVDC power supply system in the telecommunications operator's computer room.

1 Defects in UPS power supply system and -48 Vdc system

1. 1 UPS power supply structure inverter has low reliability

The UPS power supply system is shown in Figure 1, and its reliability model is shown in Figure 2.

As we all know, DC / AC is the highest cost and lowest reliability link in UPS. According to the current equipment reliability level, the battery reliability Rb = 0.99, while the UPS DC / AC reliability Ri = 0.90, the static switch STS reliability Rs = 0.99, according to Figure 2 can be calculated Power supply reliability of UPS backup energy:

R = RbRiRs = 0. 99 & TImes; 0. 90 & TImes; 0. 99 = 0. 88

It can be seen that the reliability of UPS backup energy in the system is much lower than the reliability of batteries.

1. 2 The overall utilization rate of the UPS system is low

Each input power distribution of the UPS redundant system may be the main use, and any one of the UPS must be able to carry the full load. Duplex redundant UPS system load rate <35%. The three-phase unbalanced output of the UPS directly leads to the derating of the UPS and has the disadvantage of low stand-alone utilization.

Except for the main road, the input power distribution of the UPS is in no-load standby mode, the use efficiency is very low, the investment in the early construction of the computer room is large and the load planning is wasteful, and it is difficult to expand the system later.

UPS brings an increase in harmonic components of the power supply system, resulting in a decrease in transformer utilization and a weakening of the diesel generator's support capacity, which affects the safety and utilization of the entire power supply system.

It is impossible to eliminate the problem of circulating current between parallel UPS, and it also increases the reactive power loss of the UPS and reduces the reliability of the system.

1. 3 UPS emergency protection and poor maintainability

UPS online maintenance is complicated, online expansion is difficult, and cutover is difficult. Different equipment models and different systems cannot be mutually redundant, and it is difficult to replace key components such as inverters and filter capacitors.

If the UPS inverter fails, the system will switch to bypass power supply, but for certain communication loads, low-quality mains power may cause serious failure risks to the safe operation of the equipment, and the backup battery pack is isolated Protective effects.

1. 4 -48 Vdc system can not meet the requirements of large power consumption communication equipment room

In recent years, due to the rapid development of data communication, the power consumption of the equipment room is increasing. At present, the power consumption of a single rack is increasing rapidly. The measured power consumption of a single rack in a communication room is 9 to 12 kW / rack, and some single racks are up to about 31kW. ! If you still use-48 Vdc, due to the low power supply voltage, 240 Vdc with the high voltage (China Communication Standardization Association "Technical Requirements for 240 V DC Power Supply System for Communication" determines 240 V as the nominal voltage value of the high-voltage DC power supply system in the communications industry) In comparison, according to P = IU, the same power, its current is 240/48 = 5 times of 240 Vdc.

For the same power level, when the voltage is low, the current increases. For cable loss P = I2R, the same cable (the same cable resistance), the line loss is proportional to the square of the current. In order to achieve the same loss level, the cable diameter needs to be increased significantly. For example, 100 kW power consumption, when using 48 Vdc, the current I1 = 100 kW / 48 = 2 083 A, when using 240 Vdc, the current is:

I2 = 100 kW / 240 = 416. 6 A

Thick cables increase costs; high current means greater heat generation, and greater heat generation means more air conditioners are needed for cooling.

2 Feasibility analysis of HVDC replacing UPS

2. 1 HVDC replaces the advantages of traditional UPS

The schematic diagram of traditional UPS power supply is shown in Figure 3. The schematic diagram of HVDC power supply is shown in Figure 4. There is one less DC / AC inverter and AC / DC rectifier inside the server rack than the traditional UPS, which greatly improves the efficiency of the power supply system and reduces the heat loss of the power supply system. The reduction in heat loss also reduces the configuration of the air conditioner. The application of the HVDC power supply method can save 10% to 20% of electric energy than the UPS power supply.

Dc Gear Motor, namely Gear Reduction Motor, is based on ordinary Dc Motor , coupled with gear reduction gearbox.

The gear reducer is used to provide low speed and large torque.

At the same time, the gearbox with different deceleration ratio can provide different speed and torque.

Generally different industries, using different power dc motor, generally adopt custom parameter design pattern.


What are the four ratings of the Dc Gear Motor? The DC gear motor is often seen in our industrial production. Here Shunchang Motor gives you the knowledge of its four ratings. To talk about

1. Rated Current: The rated current is the maximum current allowed to flow through the armature winding of the DC deceleration motor in accordance with the specified operating mode, in A.

2. Rated Voltage: The rated voltage is the maximum additional voltage that the armature winding of the motor can work safely, unit V. It

3. Rated Speed: Rated speed refers to the rotational speed of the Gear Reducer Motor  in the rated voltage, rated current and output rated power under the circumstances of operation, the unit is r/min. Such

4, rated power: rated power refers to the motor in accordance with the specified mode of operation can provide output power. For motor, rated power is the output of mechanical power on the shaft.

Operating temperature range:

Geared motors should be used at a temperature of -10~60℃.

The figures stated in the catalog specifications are based on use at  ordinary room temperature catalog specifications re based on use at ordinary room temperature  (approximately20~25℃.

If a geared motor is used outside the prescribed temperature range,the grease on the gearhead area will become unable to function normally and the motor will become unable to start.Depending on the temperature conditions ,it may be possible to deal with them by changing the grease of the motor's parts.Please feel free to consult with us about this.


Storage temperature range:

Geared motors should be stored ta a temperature of -15~65℃.

In case of storage outside this range,the grease on the gearhead area will become unable to function normally and the motor will become unable to start.


Service life:

The longevity of geared motors is greatly affected by the load conditions , the mode of operation,the environment of use ,etc.Therefore,it is necessary to check the conditions under which the product will actually be used .The following conditions will have a negative effect on longevity.Please consult with us should any of them apply.
