Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional grounding resistance reducing materials, such as coke powder, generate significant carbon dioxide emissions during manufacturing and are heavy, making them costly and difficult to transport, especially in mountainous areas.
Innovation Solution
A grounding resistance reducing material characterized by the use of carbide granules obtained by incomplete combustion of biomass, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions and decreases the material's weight, allowing for easier transportation and handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If coke powder from fossil fuel is used as grounding resistance reducing material, then grounding resistance reduction effect is achieved, but carbon dioxide emission increases and material weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the source material parameter from fossil fuel coke to biomass-derived carbide granules. This parameter change maintains the electrical conductivity function while reducing carbon footprint and material weight, directly resolving the contradiction between harmful emissions and material weight
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses biomass as a renewable, shorter-lifecycle material alternative to fossil fuels. The biomass-derived carbide granules provide the necessary grounding function while being more environmentally friendly and lighter, addressing both the emission and weight concerns
2Object-affected harmful factors
If coke powder is used as grounding resistance reducing material, then grounding resistance reduction effect is achieved, but material cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes expensive fossil fuel-based coke with biomass-derived carbide granules. The biomass source provides a more economical and sustainable alternative that maintains the grounding resistance reduction effect while lowering material costs
3Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional grounding resistance reducing material is used, then grounding resistance reduction is achieved, but transportation difficulty increases in mountainous areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the density parameter of the grounding resistance reducing material by using biomass-derived carbide granules instead of coke powder. This parameter change reduces material weight, making transportation to remote mountainous areas significantly easier while preserving the grounding resistance reduction function
