Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electric vehicle charging infrastructure is rudimentary and lacks the capability to manage complex charging scenarios, such as remote charging and varying circumstances, which can lead to difficulties in calculating charges and ensuring safe transactions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that monitors operational parameters during the electric vehicle charging process for interruptions, detecting predefined conditions such as device capability, preference, and data services interruptions, and sends a response to terminate the charging transaction if these conditions are met, ensuring compliance with established plans and preventing potential harm to the infrastructure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a monitoring system is implemented to detect interruptions during charging, then charging safety and transaction accuracy are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a charging plan before the charging process begins, defining expected operational parameters and interruption conditions. This allows the monitoring system to simply compare actual parameters against the pre-defined plan, simplifying the monitoring logic while ensuring comprehensive safety coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The monitoring system continuously receives operational parameters from the charging process, compares them against the charging plan, and provides feedback by detecting deviations that indicate interruptions. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures reliable detection of charging anomalies while maintaining systematic simplicity through rule-based comparison
2Reliability
If comprehensive operational parameters are monitored for all types of interruptions, then charging safety is improved, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system segments interruption detection into distinct categories (device capability interruptions, preference interruptions, data services interruptions), each with specific operational parameters to monitor. This segmentation allows the system to focus on relevant parameters for each interruption type rather than processing all possible data, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive safety coverage
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system supports complex charging scenarios with multiple interruption types, then charging versatility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system implements a universal interruption detection mechanism that handles multiple types of interruptions (device capability, preference, data services) through a single integrated process. The system uses a standardized approach of comparing operational parameters against the charging plan, regardless of interruption type, which provides versatile coverage across different charging scenarios while avoiding the need for separate complex detection systems for each interruption category

AI summary
Illustrative embodiments disclose managing a charging process of an electric vehicle. Begin by monitoring a set of operational parameters of the charging process during the flow of electricity for one or more interruptions in response to receiving, from an energy transaction execution engine, a request signaling the start of the charging process. The process then detects the one or more interruptions during the flow of electricity from the set of operational parameters, which conform to a set of predefined interrupt conditions. In one embodiment, the one or more interruptions include at least one of a device capability interruption, a preference interruption, and a data services interruption. The process sends a response to the energy transaction execution engine to terminate the charging transaction in response to detecting the one or more interruptions.
