Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If a single-stage architecture is used in DC/DC power conversion modules, then efficiency is improved and cost is reduced, but current oscillation occurs at the input terminal during system disturbance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion efficiencyVSAvoidcurrent oscillation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

An oscillation suppression module is introduced as an intermediary component between the power supply and the single-stage DC/DC converter. This module includes a bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit that actively compensates for current oscillations by injecting counter-phase currents, thereby stabilizing the input current without requiring passive damping circuits that would increase power loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The oscillation suppression module dynamically adjusts the impedance characteristics of the input terminal by controlling the bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit. By changing the equivalent impedance parameters in response to detected oscillations, the system suppresses current oscillation while maintaining the efficiency benefits of the single-stage architecture

Inventive Principle:

2Power

If multiple DC/DC power conversion modules are connected in parallel to increase output power, then power capacity is improved, but current circulation occurs between modules causing non-uniform power distribution

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The oscillation suppression module acts as a mediator between parallel-connected DC/DC modules by providing individual current regulation for each module. The bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit detects and compensates for current circulation between modules, ensuring uniform current distribution while maintaining the ability to scale output power through parallel connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback control through the oscillation suppression module, which continuously monitors the input current of each parallel-connected DC/DC module. Based on this feedback, the bidirectional DC/DC conversion circuit adjusts the current distribution to eliminate circulation and achieve uniform power sharing among modules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
