Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a standardized core processing system with unified data format is implemented, then adaptability to multiple energy storage systems is improved, but device complexity increases due to data aggregation and format standardization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a standardized core processing system that acts as an intermediary layer between diverse energy storage systems and the control applications. This core system receives data in various formats from different manufacturers' systems, converts them to a unified standardized format, and processes them centrally. This mediator approach enables multi-vendor integration without requiring each system to be customized for every application, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The core processing system is designed with universal functionality to handle data from multiple energy storage system types and manufacturers through a single standardized interface. By creating a multi-functional core that can process diverse inputs through unified data formats, the system achieves broad adaptability while maintaining consistent processing logic, thereby managing complexity through standardization rather than proliferation of specialized components.
2Productivity
If multiple energy applications are executed simultaneously on the same dataset, then productivity and energy optimization are improved, but device complexity increases due to concurrent processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the energy management system into a standardized core processing layer and multiple application layers. The core system prepares and maintains a standardized dataset that can be independently consumed by multiple applications simultaneously. This segmentation allows each application to operate autonomously on the same standardized data without interfering with others, enabling concurrent execution while managing complexity through clear architectural boundaries and resource isolation.
Data Source
AI summary
An energy management system can include one or more memory devices. The one or more memory devices can store instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a first dataset from a first energy storage system in a first format and a second dataset from a second energy storage system in a second format. The instructions can aggregate the first dataset and the second dataset into a third dataset, the third dataset having a standard format for a core processing system to execute on. The instructions can execute the core processing system to generate a control decision to control the first energy storage system or the second energy storage system based on the third dataset.
