Solution Overview
Problem
Energy production systems are often oversized to account for consumption peaks, leading to non-optimal operating conditions due to the inability to adapt energy production to consumption patterns.
Innovation Solution
A method for energy management in an electrical installation that connects or disconnects energy production, consumption, and storage members from an energy transport network based on priority and energy volume indicators, using a processing module to calculate average indicators and adjust network connections accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If energy production systems are oversized to account for consumption peaks, then energy supply reliability is improved, but system operating efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic connection and disconnection of energy production members to the transport network based on real-time comparison of priority indicators. Production members are dynamically connected when their priority indicator is less than or equal to the average priority indicator, and disconnected when it exceeds the average, allowing the system to adapt to varying consumption conditions rather than operating in a static oversized state
Solution Approach 2:
Each energy production member autonomously determines its own connection status by comparing its priority indicator to the average priority indicator calculated from all members. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for centralized control while enabling the system to automatically optimize its configuration based on current conditions
2Productivity
If energy production is adapted to consumption patterns, then energy distribution efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the energy transport network into multiple subnetworks, each with its own processing module that independently calculates average priority indicators and controls connection decisions for members within that subnetwork. This segmentation distributes the computational complexity across multiple independent modules rather than requiring a single complex centralized system
Solution Approach 2:
Each energy production member autonomously determines its own connection status by comparing its priority indicator to the average priority indicator. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex centralized control algorithms and communication protocols, reducing overall system complexity while achieving adaptive energy distribution
