Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for allocating carbon emission allowances are not rational, leading to a waste of allowances for lower-emission manufacturing entities and a shortage for higher-emission entities, resulting in high costs for energy conservation and emission reduction.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining a relative carbon emission intensity value for each manufacturing entity based on the maximum and minimum carbon emission intensity values of similar entities, and then allocating carbon emission allowances for a subsequent time period using these relative values, production plans, and a regulating coefficient.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If carbon emission allowance is allocated based on previous time period data without considering process differences, then allocation simplicity is maintained, but allocation rationality deteriorates leading to waste for lower-emission entities and shortage for higher-emission entities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveallocation simplicityVSAvoidallocation rationality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating carbon emission allowance allocation based on process types. Manufacturing entities with the same process type form groups, and each group receives allocation based on its specific characteristics rather than a uniform approach. This ensures that entities with similar production processes are treated equally while different process types receive differentiated treatment, improving allocation rationality without significantly increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments manufacturing entities into different groups based on their process types. By dividing the overall population of manufacturing entities into sub-groups with similar characteristics, the allocation can be tailored to each segment's specific needs and emission patterns, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and rationality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If uniform carbon emission allowance allocation is applied to all manufacturing entities, then administrative complexity is reduced, but energy conservation and emission reduction costs increase for higher-emission entities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadministrative complexityVSAvoidenergy conservation and emission reduction costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by applying different allocation rules to different process type groups. Entities with the same process type receive allocation based on their relative carbon emission intensity within that group, while different process types are allocated independently. This targeted approach reduces unnecessary emission reduction costs for entities that are already efficient in their specific process context

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the allocation parameter from a uniform standard to a relative carbon emission intensity metric that is calculated separately for each process type group. This parameter change allows the system to account for process-specific characteristics, reducing the burden on higher-emission entities that face structural emission challenges inherent to their process type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
