Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If electric vehicles and charging stations operate based on minimal information from users or manufacturers, then system simplicity is maintained, but operational efficiency and data utilization are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having electric vehicles determine and transmit their charging profiles to charging stations before actual charging occurs. This allows the charging station to prepare and optimize charging parameters in advance, improving operational efficiency without requiring complex real-time decision-making systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data exchange system using communication technologies like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to facilitate information transfer between vehicles and stations. This intermediary layer enables efficient data utilization while keeping the vehicle and station systems themselves relatively simple, resolving the contradiction between productivity improvement and device complexity.
2Reliability
If charging stations collect and analyze data from multiple electric vehicles, then charging patterns and power usage are optimized, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The charging station performs self-service by automatically collecting, storing, and analyzing charging data from multiple electric vehicles without requiring external intervention. The system autonomously determines charging profiles and optimizes charging processes based on collected data, improving reliability while managing complexity through automated operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where charging station data is transmitted back to electric vehicles, enabling them to adjust their charging behavior based on station capabilities and historical performance. This feedback loop optimizes charging processes and power usage while maintaining manageable data complexity through structured information exchange protocols.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for chaining data between electric vehicles and electric vehicle stations are disclosed. In an example, an electric vehicle can share a charging profile with a charging station, and the charging station can share collective charging data with the electric vehicle. The collective charging data can include charging profile data electric vehicles which have previously charged at the charging station. Based on the shared data both the electric vehicle and the charging station can perform one or more functions based on the shared data.
