Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems do not effectively convey information about the actual operation of electric vehicles to users, particularly regarding the usage and performance of rechargeable batteries.
Innovation Solution
An operation management system that acquires rechargeable battery data, estimates the actual operating state of electric vehicles, and generates reports based on this data to inform users about the operational information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If rechargeable battery data is acquired and processed to estimate actual operating state, then information about actual operation of electric vehicle is conveyed to user, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an operation management system as an intermediary between the electric vehicle's battery and the user. This system acquires battery data, estimates actual operating states, and presents information in an understandable format. The intermediary processes raw battery data (charge/discharge amounts, voltages, currents) and converts it into meaningful operational information, resolving the contradiction by adding controlled complexity in the management system to deliver clear information to users without requiring them to directly handle complex battery data.
2Measurement precision
If detailed rechargeable battery data is collected and analyzed, then accuracy of operating state estimation is improved, but data processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The operation management system performs preliminary actions by continuously acquiring and storing battery data (charge amounts, discharge amounts, voltages, currents) over time. This preliminary data collection and organization allows for efficient later analysis when actual operating state estimation is needed. By preparing the data structure in advance and maintaining running totals and time-stamped records, the system reduces the computational burden during actual estimation operations, thus reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.
3Speed
If real-time battery monitoring is implemented, then operational information is provided timely to user, but energy consumption of the electric vehicle increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic monitoring of battery parameters (charge/discharge amounts, voltages, currents) at defined intervals rather than continuous real-time monitoring. The operation management system acquires data at specific time points and processes it periodically to estimate actual operating states. This periodic approach provides timely information to users while significantly reducing the energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring, as the battery's own energy is not continuously drained by monitoring operations.
