Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional CIM infrastructure is used for data exchange, then data management capability is improved, but memory resource consumption increases making it non-portable on smart energy devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential data exchange functionality from the heavy CIM infrastructure by implementing a streamlined smart energy profile using JSON encoding. This separates the core data management needs from the bulky traditional implementation, allowing portable deployment on resource-constrained smart energy devices while maintaining data management capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adopts JSON as a lightweight, simple encoding format that can be easily parsed and discarded, replacing the persistent, memory-intensive CIM infrastructure. This allows smart energy devices to handle data exchange with minimal memory allocation, making the system portable and suitable for devices with constrained resources.
2Adaptability or versatility
If smart energy profile is implemented with constrained memory resources, then device portability is improved, but data exchange efficiency may be worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the encoding parameter from traditional CIM formats to JSON, which uses a more compact and parser-friendly structure. This parameter change enables efficient on-the-fly parsing with minimal memory resources, simultaneously achieving device portability and maintaining data exchange efficiency.
3Quantity of substance
If JSON encoding is used for smart energy profile, then memory resource requirements are reduced, but compatibility with traditional systems may be worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses JSON as an intermediary encoding format that bridges smart energy devices with constrained memory and traditional headend servers. JSON serves as a universal intermediate representation that can be efficiently processed by resource-constrained devices while being easily convertible to and from traditional system formats, maintaining compatibility across the ecosystem.
