Distributed Energy Asset Management via Centralized Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current distributed energy resource management technologies are inefficient in managing and optimizing resources for peak demand or emergency situations, as they lack systematic and hierarchical management capabilities, especially in large areas with heterogeneous resources.
Innovation Solution
An optimized asset management system that monitors distributed energy resources in real-time, analyzes and registers resources based on location, response time, and availability, and manages them remotely to ensure immediate response to energy peaks or emergencies, using a communicator to request and receive state information, an analyzer to calculate optimized resources, and a registerer to manage these resources as optimized assets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If distributed energy resources are managed locally one by one at each venue, then each resource can be individually configured, but the management efficiency deteriorates and systematic optimization is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized management system that acts as an intermediary between distributed energy resources and the power grid. This system collects state information from multiple resources, performs centralized analysis and optimization, and coordinates their operation. The intermediary enables individual resource configuration while achieving systematic optimization, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and management efficiency.
2Ease of operation
If distributed resources are managed in a decentralized manner, then local autonomy is maintained, but the ability to respond systematically to power peaks and emergencies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the management system into two functional layers: a decentralized execution layer that maintains local autonomy for individual resources, and a centralized coordination layer that ensures systematic response to power peaks and emergencies. The segmentation allows each resource to operate independently while being coordinated through state information sharing and centralized optimization algorithms.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive state information is collected from all distributed resources, then optimization accuracy is improved, but the complexity of the management system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal management platform that handles multiple functions: collecting state information from diverse distributed resources, analyzing different resource types (solar, wind, storage), performing optimization calculations, and coordinating operations. This multi-functional system reduces overall complexity by providing a unified interface and standardized processing methods for heterogeneous resources.
