    Abstract:

    To address the lack of real-time monitoring for wind turbine pitch control system power supplies and the cumbersome replacement procedures during failures, this paper proposes a hot-swappable dual-module switching power supply system based on microcontroller control. This solution enables faulted power supply replacement without system shutdown. This solution adopts a modular dual-power-supply redundant architecture. The power supply is designed based on a flyback circuit with modular components, featuring a wide input voltage range of 20~80 V and a stable output of up to 24 V/3 A. It integrates an STM32 microcontroller and TPS2491 hot-swap chip, enabling automatic switching during power failures and supporting rapid hot-swap replacement of faulty units. A monitoring platform developed using the Bootstrap5 framework was established to achieve intelligent power supply monitoring and management. Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves short switching times (≤10 ms under full load conditions) and minimal voltage dips during power failures. Concurrently, the monitoring platform enables real-time power status monitoring, fault alerts and operational data analysis, thereby enhancing the power supply reliability of the variable pitch system.
