Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a generic low-carbon technology evaluation method is used, then the evaluation process is simple, but the evaluation accuracy is insufficient because it does not consider specific industrial entity conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation system is segmented into multiple hierarchical levels: first-level indicators (energy consumption, carbon emissions, economic benefits, technical feasibility) and second-level indicators (detailed metrics under each first-level indicator). This segmentation allows the system to comprehensively evaluate low-carbon technologies while maintaining structured complexity that can be systematically managed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic parameter adjustments based on industrial entity characteristics. The evaluation model incorporates weight coefficients that are adjusted according to the specific energy structure, process type, and operational context of each industrial entity, transforming a static evaluation system into a dynamic one that adapts to different evaluation scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional evaluation methods are used, then the implementation is straightforward, but the adaptability to different industrial entities is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to industrial entitiesVSAvoidevaluation model complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation model applies local quality by tailoring the evaluation criteria and weight coefficients to the specific characteristics of each industrial entity. Different process types (e.g., heating, cooling, transportation) and energy structures receive customized evaluation parameters, ensuring that the evaluation is locally optimized for each entity's context rather than applying a uniform standard.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system is made dynamic through time-varying weight coefficients and adjustable parameters that adapt to changing industrial conditions. The model can dynamically adjust to different time periods, energy prices, environmental policies, and technological developments, allowing the evaluation framework to evolve with the industrial landscape.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If detailed industrial entity conditions are considered, then the evaluation accuracy improves, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation precisionVSAvoiddata processing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary evaluation model that acts as a bridge between raw industrial data and final evaluation results. The model incorporates intermediate calculation layers (first scores, second scores, comprehensive scores) that progressively transform complex input data into meaningful evaluation outputs, making the data processing pipeline more manageable and interpretable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system utilizes parameter transformation and normalization techniques to convert diverse industrial data (energy consumption, emissions, economic indicators) into standardized evaluation parameters. This parameter transformation simplifies data processing by converting heterogeneous data into a unified framework that can be systematically analyzed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
