Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional simulation systems use individually combined dummy elements to represent heat and power supply devices, then the system can perform detailed simulations, but it requires expertise to determine combination relationships and combination order, making it impossible to easily start a simulation
Solution Approach 1:
The simulation system automatically determines the combination relationships and combination order of heat and power supply devices based on the target value of heat load. The system performs self-service by autonomously constructing the simulation model without requiring user expertise in determining device combinations, thereby maintaining high simulation accuracy while enabling easy initiation of simulations.
2Reliability
If conventional systems provide external conditions such as outdoor air wet-bulb temperature and air flow amount to make convergent calculations, then calculations can converge, but operating conditions are not obtained in accordance with the actual required heat load target value
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the combination relationships and combination order of heat and power supply devices according to the actual required heat load target value. This dynamic adaptation allows the simulation to maintain calculation convergence while accurately reflecting real operating conditions, resolving the contradiction between convergence reliability and operating condition precision.
3Device complexity
If conventional systems use genetic algorithms or phased setting of load factor to solve complex definitions, then some problems can be solved, but it is impossible to set operating conditions in accordance with arbitrary load factor or actual situation
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows arbitrary setting of load factors and operating conditions by changing the parameters of heat and power supply devices directly. Instead of using fixed phased settings (25%, 50%, 75%) or complex genetic algorithms, the system enables continuous parameter adjustment to match actual situations, thereby reducing device complexity handling while increasing adaptability to arbitrary load factors.
4Measurement precision
If conventional systems require programming to obtain operating conditions that satisfy all complex definitions, then relationships between devices can be analyzed, but the programming becomes more complex and unrealistic
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a standardized template or model for representing heat and power supply devices and their relationships. By copying and reusing this standardized structure, the system can analyze device relationships with high precision without requiring complex custom programming for each case, thereby reducing programming complexity while maintaining analytical accuracy.
