Power Supply Device Emission-Based Charging Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power supply systems fail to effectively reduce environmental load substance emissions, such as CO2, in high daytime power consumption settings like convenience stores, leading to increased power generation and environmental impact, and require advanced arithmetic processing for simulation-based control.
Innovation Solution
A power supply device that acquires data on environmental load substance emissions to control charging and discharging of a power storage system, optimizing power usage to minimize emissions by predicting consumption and generation patterns and preferentially charging or discharging based on emission levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If power supply systems control charging/discharging to achieve energy saving and cost reduction, then operational costs are reduced, but environmental load substance emissions cannot be effectively reduced in high daytime power consumption settings
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the control parameter from cost-based to emission-based decision making. The power supply control device acquires emission amount data and uses it to determine charging/discharging operations, thereby reducing environmental load substance emissions while maintaining energy saving benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by acquiring real-time or historical emission amount data from the power source and using this information to adjust charging/discharging control decisions, creating a closed-loop control system that responds to environmental impact conditions
2Loss of energy
If simulation-based control is performed frequently to optimize power usage, then cost reduction is achieved, but highly advanced arithmetic processors and additional power consumption are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the essential control decision-making function from complex simulation processes. Instead of performing full simulations, the control device directly uses emission amount data to make charging/discharging decisions, eliminating the need for advanced arithmetic processors while maintaining control effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces expensive, complex simulation-based control with a simpler, more economical approach that uses readily available emission data. This simpler control method achieves similar or better results without requiring high-performance computing resources
