Abstract:

Redundant power supplies are commonly used in systems that require long-term uninterrupted operation and high reliability. When redundant power supplies are used as N+1 backup power supplies to supply power to devices at the same time, parallel current sharing must be considered.In order to solve the problem of large loss of passive redundant power supply and inability to achieve current equalization, this study adopts the design scheme of active redundancy and designs a 1+1 redundant power supply system with two parallel DC voltage inputs.The system uses GD32E103 as the main control chip. By changing the on-resistance of MOSFET(Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), PI(Proportional Integral) control is adopted to realize the automatic balance of the output current of two redundant power supplies.The simulation and experimental results show that the active redundancy design scheme can achieve the purpose of automatic current equalization.In normal operation, the maximum error of the two current channels is less than 0.1 A, and the accuracy of current sharing meets the design requirements.
