In this paper, a new auxiliary power supply system of magnetic levitation based on the LLC DC-DC converter is proposed. The switches of the DC-DC converter are SiC MOSFET, which enables high frequency, high temperature, and high power density. For further improving the efficiency of the system and realizing the stability of the output voltage under different load conditions, the digital synchronous rectification (DSR) based on the phase shift control strategy is proposed. The prototype of the LLC DC-DC converter based on SiC MOSFET is implemented, which can realize zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS). Then, the thermal image of DSR is presented, which proves that the power loss of SiC MOSFET with DSR is relatively low. Additionally, the system efficiency among the Si IGBT, SiC MOSFET, and SiC MOSFET with DSR is analyzed and the prototype demonstrates 98% peak efficiency. Finally, simulations, experiments, and data analysis prove the superiority of the proposed DSR strategy for the new auxiliary power supply system of magnetic levitation.

BrushLess Direct-Current (BLDC) motors are characterized by high efficiency and reliability due to the fact that the BLDC motor does not require power to the rotor. The rotor of the BLDC motor consists of permanent magnets. When examining the waveform of the current supplied to the motor windings, significant current ripple was observed within one power cycle, where the optimum value would be the constant value of this current during one power cycle. The variability of this current in one motor supply cycle results from the variability of the electromotive force induced in the motor winding. The paper presents a diagram of the power supply system consisting of an electronic commutator and a DC/DC converter made by the authors, and a proposed modification of the power supply system reducing the current pulsation of the motor windings and thus the possibility of reducing energy losses in the motor windings. The paper presents numerous results of measurements which showed a significant reduction in energy losses in the case of low-load operation.

Abstract With the rapid development of the information technology industry, the demand for data centers is gradually expanding. As the foundation of carrying many information technology services, data centers have been built and put into use on a large scale. At the same time, the characteristics of huge energy consumption are more obvious. Due to the defects of low utilization rate, heavy pollution and limited reserves of traditional fossil fuels when supplying energy for data centers, the development of green renewable energy has become an inevitable demand. This paper studies the key technologies involved in supplying power to DC power supply data center with renewable energy, and makes a case to compare the DC power supply system and the AC power supply system. This paper also pays attention to the technology of energy storage in data center, and makes an analysis to prove the advantages of energy storage data center. In addition, this paper studies and summarizes the application of multi-station integration technology and other issues.
