Abstract
The effect of a constant current (CC) power supply on the CC ocean observation system is a problem that once was neglected. The dynamic characteristics of the CC power supply may have great influence on the whole system, especially the voltage behavior in the event of load change. This needs to be examined. In this paper, a method is introduced to check whether the CC power supply can satisfy the dynamic requirements of the CC ocean observation system. An equivalent model to describe the non-ideal CC power supply is presented, through which the dynamic characteristics can be standardized. To verify the feasibility of this model, a minimum system of a single node in the CC ocean observation system is constructed, from which the model is derived. Focusing on the power failure problem, the output voltage responses are performed and the models are validated. Through the model, the dynamic behavior of the CC power supply is checked in a practical design.
