Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in creating a carbon offset credit calculation system for waste oil that addresses the dispersion of data across various locations, requiring advanced technologies for waste oil separation, purification, and stable biomass generation, while ensuring interoperability and portability of CO2 credit information.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising terminal devices for inputting waste oil, biofuel production, and power generation/consumption data, connected via a network to a carbon offset credit calculation server, which calculates credits by multiplying biofuel power generation/consumption with CO2 emission coefficients, integrating data from dispersed sources and facilitating data interoperability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data are collected from dispersed locations (shops, factories, power plants), then the completeness of carbon offset data is improved, but the complexity of data integration and interoperability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that receives, standardizes, and integrates data from multiple dispersed sources including shops, factories, and power plants. This server acts as a central mediator that handles data interoperability issues, converting data from various formats and sources into a unified structure for carbon offset calculation, thereby reducing the complexity faced by individual data collection points.
Solution Approach 2:
The server is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple types of data inputs from different sources (waste oil collection data, biofuel production data, power generation data) using standardized protocols. This multi-functional capability allows the system to integrate diverse data types without requiring separate specialized systems for each data source, thus improving data completeness while managing integration complexity.
2Manufacturing precision
If advanced technologies are used for waste oil separation and purification, then the quality of biofuel production is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The waste oil processing system is divided into distinct functional segments: separation units that isolate waste oil from other materials, purification units that remove contaminants, and conversion units that transform purified waste oil into biofuel. This segmentation allows each unit to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall biofuel quality while making the complex processing system more manageable and modular.
3Measurement precision
If a centralized calculation system is implemented, then the accuracy of carbon offset credit calculation is improved, but the loss of time for data transmission and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
Data standardization and validation procedures are performed preliminarily at the source locations (shops, factories, power plants) before transmission to the central server. This preliminary processing ensures that data arrives at the calculation system in a ready-to-use format, reducing the time required for data transmission and initial processing while maintaining calculation accuracy.
