Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing energy market communication interfaces fail to accurately represent the energy potential of electric vehicles, limiting their participation in energy transactions and requiring complex control mechanisms that intertwine business processes between aggregators and vehicle owners, compromising data protection and competitive positions.
Innovation Solution
A method for an energy market platform that subdivides the trading period into time units, determines and represents energy potential for each unit, allowing aggregators to compare trade requests with energy availability, enabling precise energy volume management for electric vehicles without requiring knowledge of individual asset structures, and provides real-time warnings for energy imbalances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing communication interfaces are used for energy market operations, then communication between aggregators and battery firms is established, but the energy potential of electric vehicles cannot be accurately represented and participation in energy transactions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The trading period is divided into multiple time units (e.g., 15-minute intervals), and energy potential is calculated separately for each time unit. This segmentation allows precise representation of energy availability at different times, enabling accurate comparison with time-dependent trade requests and improving both measurement precision and adaptability.
2Productivity
If complex control mechanisms are used to manage energy trades, then energy transaction capabilities are enhanced, but business processes between aggregators and vehicle owners become intertwined, compromising data protection and competitive positions
Solution Approach 1:
The control mechanism extracts and processes only the necessary energy potential data from the energy system, representing it in a simplified format that can be directly compared with trade requests. This extraction approach reduces the complexity of control mechanisms while maintaining effective energy trade execution, and prevents business process entanglement by focusing on pure data processing.
Solution Approach 2:
An intermediary data representation layer is introduced between the energy system and the trading platform. This intermediary converts complex energy system states into standardized energy potential data structures, simplifying control mechanisms and enabling clear separation of business processes between aggregators and vehicle owners while maintaining efficient energy trade execution.
3Adaptability or versatility
If energy content of batteries at specific time points is not stipulated, then flexibility in power and energy transmission is maintained, but quantitative restrictions limit participation in energy market transactions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically calculates energy potential for each time unit based on current battery state and stipulated energy content requirements. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to varying energy content stipulations while maintaining flexibility in power and energy transmission, enabling quantitative restrictions to be enforced without limiting market participation.
