Storage Battery Relocation Assistance via Deterioration Prediction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Storage batteries used in vehicles deteriorate quickly due to severe conditions, making recycling costly and inefficient, while batteries no longer suitable for vehicles can still perform well in other facilities, leading to increased comprehensive costs throughout their life cycle.
Innovation Solution
A storage battery relocation assistance apparatus and method that collects and stores battery information, predicts deterioration, and determines optimal relocation times and destinations based on this data to assist in reducing comprehensive costs by extending the life cycle of storage batteries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If storage batteries are recycled when deteriorating from vehicle use, then the battery materials can be reused, but the comprehensive cost for the life cycle increases due to high recycling costs and premature disposal
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts battery allocation based on real-time performance data and prediction results, transitioning batteries from vehicle use to facility use at optimal moments rather than following a fixed lifecycle pattern
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously collects battery information, predicts future performance, and uses this feedback to determine optimal relocation timing, creating a closed-loop system that prevents premature disposal and reduces recycling costs
2Duration of action of stationary object
If storage batteries are relocated to other facilities before complete deterioration, then their usable life is extended, but the complexity of managing battery relocation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system manages multiple batteries across different facilities with a unified prediction and management platform, enabling standardized procedures that reduce complexity despite the multi-facility nature of the operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary prediction of battery deterioration before actual failure occurs, allowing proactive relocation planning that simplifies management by avoiding emergency transfers and coordination
3Productivity
If storage batteries are continuously used in vehicles until complete failure, then maximum utilization is achieved, but the comprehensive cost increases due to frequent recycling
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the operational parameters of batteries by relocating them from high-stress vehicle applications to lower-stress facility applications based on predicted performance degradation, optimizing the balance between utilization and cost
