Solution Overview
Problem
In current power regulation systems, power modules connected in parallel often retain different electric quantities, leading to uneven current distribution and reduced total output, as one module depletes before the others, failing to meet demand and optimize output.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If multiple power modules are connected in parallel to supply electrical energy, then the total output power is increased, but the electric quantity distribution becomes uneven causing one module to deplete first
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs monitoring units to detect the electric quantity of each power module in real-time, and control units adjust the current distribution based on this feedback. This closed-loop control ensures that power modules with lower electric quantity receive reduced current, preventing premature depletion and extending the overall operational duration while maintaining high total output power.
Solution Approach 2:
The control units dynamically change the current parameters (current magnitude and distribution ratio) based on the detected electric quantity of each power module. By adjusting these parameters in real-time, the system optimizes both the total output power and the operational duration, resolving the contradiction between high power output and extended service life.
2Productivity
If power modules operate independently without current regulation, then the system structure is simple, but the total output cannot meet demand due to uneven current distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the current regulation function into separate control units, each responsible for managing current distribution to specific power modules. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each module's current intake based on its electric quantity, thereby maximizing total output capability while keeping each control unit relatively simple in structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The control units are designed with multi-functionality, serving both to monitor electric quantity and to regulate current distribution simultaneously. This universal design achieves high total output capability without proportionally increasing system complexity, as the same hardware performs multiple functions.
3Productivity
If current distribution is not regulated according to electric quantity, then the control system is simple, but one power module runs out first reducing overall efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
Each power module effectively regulates its own current intake through the control units that respond to its specific electric quantity status. This self-service mechanism optimizes overall system efficiency by ensuring each module operates within its capacity limits, while the automation level remains moderate as the control logic is relatively simple and rule-based.
