Method and device for regulating power consumption of equipments

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for regulating power consumption of equipments, wherein the method comprises the following steps of: dividing multiple equipments into at least one equipment group, setting a group power consumption upper threshold for the equipment group, setting an equipment power consumption upper threshold for each equipment in the equipment group; obtaining the current total power consumption of the equipment group, when the current total power consumption of the equipment group exceeds the group power consumption upper threshold, judging whether the current power consumption of each equipment in the equipment group exceeds the self equipment power consumption upper threshold; when the current power consumption of each equipment exceeds the equipment power consumption upper threshold, reducing the power consumption of each equipment to the equipment power consumption upper threshold; and when the current power consumption of partial equipments exceeds the equipment power consumption upper threshold, setting a new power consumption upper threshold, and reducing the power consumption to below the new power consumption upper threshold or new power consumption upper threshold. By adopting the method and device provided by the invention, the power budge of the equipments can be fully utilized, and the property of the equipment can be fully developed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a method and device for adjusting power consumption of communication equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of Internet, mobile broadband and other services, operators need to continuously purchase new communication equipment to expand system capacity and improve processing capabilities, but the area of ​​the equipment room, power supply and heat dissipation capabilities are limited, and with the number of equipment The total power consumption of the equipment will also continue to increase, which severely restricts the equipment density and space utilization in the computer room. Usually, the power consumption of communication equipment changes dynamically with the load: when the load increases and the processor occupancy rate increases, the power consumption of the device also increases; when the load decreases and the process...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although this power consumption capping technology can make the power consumption detection and capping operation of each device independent of each other, the management is relatively simple; however, if the power consumption of a certain device exceeds the power consumption cap value, while other devices are far from reaching When the upper limit value is set, the power consumption of the entire device group does not reach the budgeted value, resulting in low resource utilization

In addition, the capping value of each device must be set as accurately as possible. If it is set too high, it will cause waste of resources. If it is set too low, it will cause frequent capping and affect performance.
