Abstract

In view of the interaction between the power supply unit (PSU) inside the data center power supply system and the power distribution network, it is easy to cause low-frequency oscillation in the power supply system of the data center. At present, there is no effective analysis model for the research on the low-frequency oscillation of parallel multiple PSUs in the data center. Therefore, this paper proposes a low-frequency admittance modeling and stability analysis method for parallel multiple PSUs in data centers. On the basis of the low-frequency admittance model of the single-phase PSU, a low-frequency admittance model of parallel multiple PSUs considering the frequency coupling effect and the influence of the DC-side voltage is established by equivalently aggregating the frequency coupling effects of parallel multiple PSUs to improve the accuracy of the impedance model. The low-frequency admittance model of single-phase PSU in the parallel system; and according to the Nyquist stability criterion, the influence of the number, capacity and voltage-loop parameters of the PSU on the system stability is analyzed in detail, and the influence law of each factor on the system stability is obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and a reliable analysis model is provided for the planning, design and stable operation of the data center power system.

Grid-connected systems often consist of several feedback-controlled power-electronics converters that are connected in parallel. Consequently, a number of stability issues arise due to interactions among multiple converter subsystems. Recent studies have presented impedance-based methods to assess the stability of such large systems. However, only few real-life experiences have been previously presented, and practical implementations of impedance-based analysis are rare for large-scale systems that consist of multiple parallel-connected devices. This work presents a case study in which an unstable high-frequency operation, caused by multiple paralleled grid-connected rectifiers, of a 250 kW data center in southern Finland is reported and studied. In addition, the work presents an experimental approach for characterizing and assessing the system stability by using impedance measurements and an aggregated impedance-based analysis. Recently proposed wideband-identification techniques based on binary injection and Fourier methods are applied to obtain the experimental impedance measurements from the input terminals of a single data center rectifier unit. This work provides a practical approach to design and implement the impedance-based stability analysis for a system consisting of multiple paralleled grid-connected converters. It is shown that the applied methods effectively predict the overall system stability and the resonant modes of the system, even with very limited information on the system. The applied methods are versatile, and can be utilized in various grid-connected applications, for example, in adaptive control, system monitoring, and stability analysis.
