Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current maintenance systems for energy storage devices and power supply-related devices in large-scale systems lack a unified approach for comprehensive information presentation, leading to complex management and inefficient maintenance, especially in distributed power supply systems.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and system that acquires, stores, and transmits information on energy storage devices and power supply-related devices, allowing for collective display and remote monitoring, enabling efficient maintenance through hierarchical presentation of data based on connection configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional maintenance support systems are used for each energy storage device or power supply-related device independently, then individual device monitoring is possible, but maintenance management becomes complicated and information presentation is not unified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent maintenance support systems into a single unified information processing system that can manage both energy storage devices and power supply-related devices. The server device consolidates information from multiple sources and presents it in a unified manner, reducing the complexity of managing separate systems while improving overall maintenance management efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing system is designed with universal functionality to handle diverse device types (energy storage devices, power conditioners, rectifiers) through a common interface and unified information presentation method. This multi-functional approach allows the system to manage various devices without requiring separate specialized systems for each device type.
2Reliability
If a unified information presentation system is implemented for large-scale distributed power supply systems, then comprehensive maintenance management is achieved, but information processing and transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments information processing by organizing devices into hierarchical groups (power supply systems, installation locations) and processing information at appropriate levels. The server device receives information from multiple devices, organizes it by system and location, and presents it in a structured manner, reducing the overall information processing load compared to handling all device information individually.
3Ease of operation
If remote monitoring of multiple devices is implemented, then maintenance personnel can grasp device states remotely, but information transmission and communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines information from multiple devices into unified presentations by system and location, reducing redundant communication. Instead of transmitting and displaying information from each device separately, the server consolidates data and transmits unified information sets, reducing overall communication energy consumption while maintaining comprehensive remote monitoring capabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device that transmits information on an energy storage device and a power supply-related device in response to a request from the outside or as an event includes, an acquisition unit that acquires information including a state of the energy storage device or the power supply-related device through communication; a storage processing unit that stores the acquired information in a storage medium in association with information that identifies the energy storage device and the power supply-related device, respectively; and a transmission processing unit that transmits display information for collectively displaying the information stored in the storage medium for each system including the energy storage device and/or power supply-related device, or for each place where the energy storage device and/or power supply-related device is installed.
