Battery Power Dispatch by Environmental Added Value
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to selectively discharge electrical power with environmental added value to facilities that require it, as they do not differentiate between power with and without environmental added value when stored in the same storage battery apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A management apparatus that includes a manager to categorize and track dischargeable electrical power, a determiner to decide which type of power to discharge based on facility requests, and a transmitter to instruct storage battery apparatuses to supply the appropriate power, ensuring only environmental added value power is discharged to facilities that need it.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If electrical power with and without environmental added value is stored in the same storage battery apparatus, then storage capacity is maximized, but the ability to selectively discharge environmental added value power to facilities that require it is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the storage battery apparatus into multiple independent storage units, each capable of storing electrical power with specific environmental added value characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to maintain storage capacity while preserving the ability to identify and selectively discharge specific types of power to facilities that require them.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the management apparatus tracks and categorizes dischargeable electrical power by environmental added value, then selective discharge capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatus is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a simple storage coordinator and as an intelligent dispatcher that tracks environmental added value characteristics. This universal design allows the same system to handle both basic storage operations and sophisticated selective discharge operations without requiring separate dedicated systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary information layer that tracks environmental added value characteristics without requiring direct intervention in the physical storage battery operations. This intermediary system manages the complexity of tracking and categorizing power by environmental attributes while keeping the actual storage and discharge operations relatively simple.
3Reliability
If the system manages multiple types of electrical power separately, then environmental standards compliance is improved, but storage efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic management of power storage and discharge operations, allowing flexible allocation of different power types to different facilities based on real-time requirements. This dynamic approach enables the system to maintain environmental standards compliance while optimizing storage efficiency, as power can be moved and reallocated based on changing conditions rather than being locked in static categories.

AI summary
A management apparatus (50) configured to manage one storage battery apparatus or a plurality of storage battery apparatuses (301 to 30c) includes: a manager (51) configured to manage a dischargeable amount of electrical power having an environmental added value stored in the storage battery apparatuses (301 to 30c); a determiner (54) configured to determine which of the dischargeable electrical power in the storage battery apparatuses (301 to 30c), the electrical power having the environmental added value or electrical power not having the environmental added value, is to be discharged for each electrical-power consuming facility (201 to 20b); and a transmitter (52) configured to transmit, to the storage battery apparatuses (301 to 30c), a message giving an instruction to discharge the determined electrical power to the electrical-power consuming facility (201 to 20b).
