METHOD FOR OPERATING A POWER CONVERTER MODULE AND A DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

The present disclosure relates to methods a system and a module for operating a power converter module (1) the power converter module (1) comprises a voltage converter (4) an output circuitry (7) and a processing circuitry (8) operable for controlling the voltage converter (4). According to an embodiment the method comprises transmitting (10) a first status signal representing operating parameters of the voltage converter (4) to the processing circuitry (8). Determining (11) whether the status of the voltage converter (4) is acceptable or unacceptable. The method also comprises transmitting (12) a second status signal representing the operating parameters of the output circuitry (7) to the processing circuitry (8). The method also comprises determining (13) if the second status signal is above a predetermined threshold value. When the second status signal is above said predetermined threshold value and the status of the voltage converter (4) is acceptable (14) entering a peak output mode (15). The peak output mode (15) involves determining (16) based on a maximum output voltage if the output voltage is allowed to increase. If allowed increasing (17) the output voltage and operating (18) the voltage converter (4) at maximum power dissipation as long as the status of the voltage converter (4) is acceptable and the second status signal is above said predetermined threshold value (19).
