Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If existing battery energy storage schemes are used, then energy storage function is provided, but intelligent control and power conversion are not ideal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintelligent controlVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system is segmented into multiple independent modules: battery management module for monitoring battery status, power control module for managing power conversion, and energy control module for optimizing energy scheduling. Each module operates independently with specific functions, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining intelligent control capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs dynamic control strategies where the power control module adjusts charging and discharging power in real-time based on battery status and load requirements. The energy control module dynamically schedules energy conversion based on power consumption conditions, enabling adaptive intelligent control without requiring overly complex fixed architectures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If battery energy storage modules are deployed, then energy storage capability is achieved, but application scenarios are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scenariosVSAvoidsystem configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The battery energy storage module is designed with universal applicability through standardized interfaces and modular architecture. The same battery module can serve multiple application scenarios including but not limited to peak shaving, load balancing, renewable energy integration, and emergency backup power, eliminating the need for different configurations for different applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides flexible adaptation to different application scenarios through dynamic control parameters and adjustable energy management strategies. The power control module can be configured with different charging/discharging profiles depending on the application, while the energy control module adapts its scheduling algorithm based on real-time power consumption conditions, enabling a single system design to serve multiple purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If uniform scheduling is applied to battery energy conversion, then management simplicity is achieved, but conversion power cannot be flexibly adjusted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower adjustment flexibilityVSAvoidconversion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The power control module implements dynamic power adjustment by continuously monitoring battery status (voltage, current, temperature) and load requirements. It flexibly modifies charging and discharging power levels in real-time, enabling both ease of operation through automated control and high conversion efficiency by optimizing power flow based on actual conditions rather than fixed uniform schedules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The battery management module provides real-time feedback on battery status to the power control module, which adjusts power conversion accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables flexible power adjustment while maintaining optimal conversion efficiency, as the system automatically responds to changing conditions without requiring manual intervention or complex uniform scheduling protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
