Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If modern battery level measurement systems are used in electric aircraft, then battery monitoring is provided, but measurement accuracy and energy tracking precision are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The battery pack is divided into multiple battery modules, each equipped with individual sensing devices that measure parameters independently. This segmentation allows for more precise local measurements and better identification of power distribution variations among modules, directly addressing the measurement accuracy and reliability issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors battery parameters through sensing devices and uses computing devices to process this data, determining power distribution and detecting uneven power generation. This feedback loop enables real-time identification of measurement deviations and corrective actions, improving both measurement precision and energy tracking reliability.
2Loss of information
If battery parameters are monitored across multiple battery modules, then power distribution analysis is enabled, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing devices and computing devices are designed to perform multiple functions: measuring basic battery parameters, determining power distribution, detecting uneven power generation, and providing feedback for energy management. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby managing system complexity while comprehensively capturing power distribution information.
