Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional programming methods are used for energy storage devices in power-gas coupling systems, then the programming process is simpler, but the reliability and sufficient long-term reserve capacity of the system cannot be effectively ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidprogramming complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power-gas coupling system into distinct components (power system, gas system, energy storage devices) and models their coupling relationships separately. The programming approach divides the system into operational units that can be analyzed independently while maintaining their interconnections, allowing complex reliability assessment without requiring complete system reprogramming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary programming framework that mediates between the power system and gas system through energy storage devices. This intermediary layer captures the coupling characteristics and reliability constraints, enabling reliable programming without directly complexifying the entire system model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If coupling characteristics of power and gas systems are comprehensively considered, then the programming accuracy is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing programming accuracy on specific critical components and coupling points where reliability constraints are most significant. Rather than uniformly complexifying the entire system model, the approach enhances precision locally at energy storage device interfaces and coupling characteristics while maintaining simpler modeling elsewhere.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the complex coupling characteristic modeling into manageable parameter relationships. By changing the representation of coupling effects into standardized parameters and constraints, the methodology achieves high programming accuracy without proportionally increasing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If energy storage devices are programmed without considering natural gas system failures, then the programming process is faster, but the safe and stable operation of electric power system cannot be ensured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming efficiencyVSAvoidpower system reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing reliability constraints and coupling characteristic models that account for natural gas system failures. These preliminary formulations are integrated into the programming framework before actual energy storage device programming occurs, enabling fast execution without sacrificing reliability consideration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by proactively incorporating failure scenario constraints into the programming model. By pre-defining anti-failure measures and reliability boundaries based on natural gas system vulnerability, the approach ensures power system stability without requiring slow iterative analysis during the programming process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
