Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing monitoring methods are used for energy storage systems, then basic operational data can be collected, but abnormal operations leading to capacity reduction cannot be effectively detected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidcapacity guarantee
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms operational data into deterioration acceleration parameters by changing the parameter representation from raw operational values to rate-of-change metrics. This allows the system to detect abnormal operations that cause capacity reduction by measuring how quickly deterioration is accelerating, rather than just monitoring static operational parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs simulations to calculate predicted hourly deterioration rates before actual significant capacity loss occurs. By predicting deterioration trends in advance based on current operational patterns, the system can issue warnings and take preventive actions before the energy storage system suffers substantial capacity reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If comprehensive operation information is collected for accurate deterioration analysis, then abnormal operations can be detected, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormal operation detectionVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential parameters needed for deterioration analysis from comprehensive operational data. Instead of processing all available operational information, the system identifies and extracts key parameters such as temperature, charge-discharge cycles, and state-of-charge ranges that most directly influence battery deterioration, simplifying the analysis while maintaining detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces deterioration acceleration parameters as an intermediary metric between raw operational data and capacity assessment. This intermediary transformation layer simplifies the relationship between complex operational variables and capacity degradation, making the system more manageable while preserving the ability to detect abnormal operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
