Load Priority Power Control for Grid Burden During Outages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In electricity-consuming fields, the increasing demand for power and the burden on the power grid are exacerbated by environmental incidents like outages, which require manual load management, leading to inefficiencies and inconveniences.
Innovation Solution
A power control system comprising a database, processing module, and control module that classifies and prioritizes load activation based on environmental incident information, allowing for flexible power allocation and reduced grid burden by selecting appropriate control modes in response to incidents like water or power outages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple loads run simultaneously to meet increasing electricity demand, then power consumption increases to satisfy user needs, but burden on the power grid increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of loads into different groups (first group loads and second group loads) and pre-establishes control modes for different environmental incidents. When an environmental incident occurs, the corresponding control mode is immediately activated without manual intervention, enabling rapid response while managing power consumption and grid burden effectively
2Ease of operation
If manual control of loads is implemented during environmental incidents, then load management can be adjusted, but operation convenience decreases and response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service operation by automatically detecting environmental incidents and activating corresponding control modes without manual intervention. The processing module receives environmental incident information, determines the appropriate control mode, and controls the loads automatically, eliminating the need for manual operation while reducing response time
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the processing module continuously receives environmental incident information from data sources, processes this information to determine appropriate control modes, and the control module executes the corresponding load control. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables automatic adaptation to changing environmental conditions
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed activation priority order is assigned to loads, then control simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to different environmental incidents decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments loads into different groups (first group and second group) with different activation priority orders based on their importance and power consumption characteristics. It also segments control strategies into multiple control modes, each optimized for specific environmental incidents, enabling flexible and adaptive load management without excessive complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A power control system includes a database, a processing module, and a control module, wherein the database stores a load control data. A power control method comprises build the load control data including a plurality of control modes; receive an environmental incident information through the processing module and select one of the control modes in the load control data corresponding to the environmental incident information according to the environmental incident information through the processing module; and control each of a plurality of loads to run through a control module according to an activation priority order of each of the loads in the control mode selected by the processing module. Therefore, the activation priority order of each of the loads could be controlled more effectively depending on different environmental incidents.
