Method for controlling voltage conversion elements e.g. rectifiers of telecommunication network element, involves switching off voltage converter elements when the efficiency of converter elements is below threshold value

摘要

The method involves determining the current energy requirement of the telecommunication network elements, and computing efficiency of the voltage converter elements by a control unit. The voltage converter elements are switched off when the efficiency of the voltage converter elements is below a threshold value, and energy requirement of the telecommunications network elements is higher than the voltage converter elements. An independent claim is included for telecommunication network element.
