  • System and method for providing multi-dimensional power supply efficiency profiles
    Patent number: 9791902
    Abstract: A first operating condition and a second operating condition at a power supply unit (PSU) are determined at a first time. A power conversion efficiency of the PSU is determined at the first time. A first entry at a power conversion efficiency profile is generated, the first entry associating the first power conversion efficiency with the first operating condition and the second operating condition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2017
    Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS, LP
    Inventors: Dinesh K. Ragupathi, Ashish Munjal, Thomas F. Archer, Binay A. Kuruvila

  • System and Method for Dynamically Adjusting Power Supply Efficiency
    Publication number: 20160313777
    Abstract: Power efficiency peak shifting capability information is received from a power supply unit, the power supply unit providing power to a load. An operating condition of the power supply unit is determined. A command is issued directing the power supply unit to transition from a first efficiency profile to a second efficiency profile based on the capability information and further based on the operating condition.
