Battery Power-Type Tracking for Relocatable Charge Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery charge/discharge management systems fail to continuously manage and transact green and non-green power types when the battery is moved to a different location, as they assume a fixed installation and do not account for changes in installation location.
Innovation Solution
A battery charge/discharge management system that includes a battery package and a charge/discharge control device, where the battery package stores and updates power storage amounts for each power type, and the charge/discharge control device notifies and controls the battery package to manage and update these amounts based on charged and discharged power types, enabling continuous management and transaction regardless of location changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the battery is fixedly installed in one location and connected to the same power network, then the management system can continuously track green and non-green power storage amounts, but the system cannot adapt when the battery is moved to different locations and power networks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by creating a virtual replica of the power network's green power information at the battery location. The management server copies green power storage amount information from the power network and transmits it to the battery, allowing the battery to track and manage green power amounts even when moved between different locations and power networks, thus maintaining continuous management capability while adapting to location changes
2Measurement precision
If the management system tracks green and non-green power separately, then accurate transaction management is achieved, but the system complexity increases due to separate tracking requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the green power information management function into the existing battery management server. Instead of creating a separate system for tracking green power, the management server is enhanced to handle both green power storage amount information and non-green power battery charge/discharge information together, reducing system complexity while maintaining precise tracking of different power types
Solution Approach 2:
The management server is designed with multi-functionality to handle multiple tasks: managing battery charge/discharge information, tracking green power storage amounts, and facilitating transactions for different power types. This universal approach allows a single system to perform multiple functions, avoiding the need for separate specialized systems and reducing overall complexity while maintaining measurement precision

AI summary
A battery charge/discharge management system includes: a battery package in which a battery is housed; and a charge/discharge control device that controls charge/discharge of the battery package, in which the battery package stores and holds a storage amount of power stored in the battery for each power type, the charge/discharge control device notifies the battery package of the power amount of each power type charged and discharged from the battery package, and the battery package updates the storage amount of the power stored in the battery for each power type stored and held based on the power amount of each power type charged and discharged from the battery package notified from the charge/discharge control device.
