Intermediary Server for Decentralized Energy Ownership Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in stabilizing electricity consumption and supply, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs due to the need for excessive power generation and higher electricity charges.
Innovation Solution
An intermediary server system that intermediates ownership of energy between suppliers and users by utilizing a decentralized ledger system to manage energy information, allowing for the transfer of energy ownership between intermediary agents and users based on production methods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If supply of electricity is adjusted to match demand, then electricity consumption can be stabilized, but electric power companies need to generate or purchase excessive power leading to increased operational costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (intermediary servers and decentralized ledger) that facilitates direct peer-to-peer energy trading between suppliers and consumers. This intermediary platform enables users to buy and sell electricity based on their specific needs and production methods, eliminating the need for centralized power companies to generate excessive power. The system matches supply and demand directly, stabilizing electricity consumption without requiring wasteful over-generation.
2Stability of the object's composition
If demand response is applied to adjust consumption to match supply, then electricity consumption can be stabilized, but electricity charges increase due to operational costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables consumers to act as both producers and consumers (prosumers) by allowing them to generate electricity from renewable sources and trade it directly with others. The decentralized ledger system automatically records transactions and manages ownership changes without requiring centralized control. This self-service model eliminates the need for traditional utility companies to incur operational costs for demand response management, thereby reducing electricity charges while maintaining consumption stability.
3Productivity
If decentralized ledger system is used to manage energy information, then energy ownership can be efficiently transferred, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal decentralized ledger system that serves multiple functions: recording energy production, tracking ownership changes, facilitating transactions, and verifying renewable energy credentials all in a single platform. The intermediary servers provide multi-functional services including matching suppliers with consumers, managing user accounts, and coordinating transfers across different energy sources. This consolidation of multiple functions into unified systems reduces overall complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.

AI summary
An intermediary server for intermediating ownership of energy between a supplier and a user, includes circuitry that transmits a first request to another intermediary server capable of requesting a change of ownership of energy to a decentralized ledge system that manages energy information on energy, the first request requesting to change ownership of energy produced by a same production method as a particular production method, from another intermediary agent managing the other intermediary server to an intermediary agent managing the intermediary server.
