Battery Placement Planning Aligning Usage With User Policies
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional storage battery relocation support devices do not provide optimal placement solutions based on user intent or usage policies, focusing solely on extending battery service life by relocating them across different facilities.
Innovation Solution
An arrangement planning device that collects state information from storage batteries, calculates their performance indicators, and determines optimal placement locations based on required operation amounts and user-defined policies, prioritizing either high operation or leveling to align battery usage with user objectives.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If storage batteries are relocated repeatedly to extend service time, then battery lifecycle cost is reduced, but the device cannot satisfy user intent or usage policy requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters considered for battery relocation by incorporating user intent and usage policy as additional decision factors. The determination unit evaluates not only battery degradation state but also user-defined preferences and facility operation requirements to select optimal placement locations that satisfy both battery management and user needs.
2Productivity
If storage batteries are placed to increase operation amount before lease expiration, then utilization efficiency is improved, but battery degradation accelerates
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by selectively increasing operation amounts for specific batteries based on their degradation state and lease requirements. Rather than uniformly maximizing operation for all batteries, the system determines optimal operation levels that balance utilization efficiency improvement with acceptable degradation rates, using user intent and usage policies to guide the degree of operation increase.
3Duration of action of moving object
If storage batteries are leveled in operation amounts, then lifetime reduction is curbed, but the amounts of operation cannot be increased as desired
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts operation distribution based on real-time battery states and usage requirements. Rather than applying static leveling, the determination unit continuously evaluates battery degradation levels, lease expiration timelines, and facility needs to optimize operation amounts, allowing the system to transition between leveling and operation maximization strategies as conditions change.

AI summary
An arrangement planning device includes: a collection unit that collects state information indicative of a present-time state of each of storage batteries; a prediction calculation unit that calculates a performance indicator of a degree of wear of each of the storage batteries from the state information; an amount-of-operation acquisition unit that obtains a required amount of operation of the storage batteries at each of places of use, the storage batteries being to be placed in the places of use; a policy acquisition unit that obtains an operation policy for each of the storage batteries; and a placement location determination unit that determines a placement location for each of the storage batteries from the places of use, wherein the placement location determination unit determines the placement location for each of the storage batteries based on the required amount of operation, the performance indicator, and the operation policy.
