Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the device operation setting apparatus uses a determined setting value to control device operation, then energy optimization is achieved, but the difference between actually measured consumed power and target value cannot be kept within a prescribed range due to device deterioration or environmental conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The control apparatus measures the actually consumed power of the device and feeds this information back to the setting value determination unit. This feedback loop enables the system to compare the actual power consumption with the target value and adjust the setting value accordingly, ensuring the difference remains within the prescribed range despite device deterioration or environmental changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the setting value parameter based on the measured power consumption and the relationship between setting values and consumed power. By changing the setting value parameter in response to actual measurements, the system maintains optimal energy efficiency while ensuring power consumption stays within the desired range.
2Loss of energy
If the device operation setting apparatus adjusts setting values to optimize energy consumption, then energy cost is reduced, but the control precision to maintain power within a prescribed range deteriorates due to device model errors
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement unit continuously monitors the actually consumed power and provides feedback to the setting value determination unit. This real-time feedback compensates for device model errors by using actual measured data rather than relying solely on theoretical models, thereby maintaining both energy optimization and control precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The control apparatus performs self-adjustment by automatically determining optimal setting values based on measured power consumption data and the relationship between setting values and consumed power. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for external calibration and continuously adapts to maintain precision without additional manual intervention.

AI summary
A device operation setting apparatus includes a calculator and a determiner. The calculator calculates, based at least in part on a relationship between a setting value regarding operation control of a device and a consumed power of a device, a target value of the consumed power of the device. The determiner determines the setting value to cause that a difference between an actually measured consumed power of the device and the target value of the consumed power of the device calculated by the calculator is within a prescribed range.
