Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If electromechanical tracking equipment is used to maintain strong illumination on photovoltaic cells, then power generation amount increases, but device cost and maintenance cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the electromechanical tracking system with a purely optical solution using reflective plates. The reflective plates are positioned to redirect sunlight onto the photovoltaic cells without requiring mechanical movement or electrical control systems, thereby eliminating the complexity and cost of electromechanical tracking while maintaining illumination intensity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces reflective plates as an intermediary element between the sunlight source and the photovoltaic cells. These plates act as mediators that redirect and concentrate sunlight onto the cells, achieving the same effect as electromechanical tracking but through passive optical means rather than active mechanical systems.
2Device complexity
If photovoltaic cells are used without electromechanical tracking, then device cost decreases, but strong illumination cannot be maintained for long time and power generation resources are not sufficiently utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The reflective plates serve as intermediary elements that extend the duration and intensity of illumination on the photovoltaic cells. By strategically positioning these plates, the system captures sunlight at different angles and times of day, redirecting it onto the cells to maintain strong illumination without requiring complex tracking mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to light collection by using reflective plates positioned at various angles and locations around the photovoltaic cells. This multi-dimensional light redirection approach ensures that cells receive strong illumination from multiple directions and throughout the day, compensating for the lack of mechanical tracking.
3Power
If mirror is used to reflect sunlight onto photovoltaic cell module plate, then power generation amount increases, but angle of sunlight changes cause incomplete coverage and shadow falls on photovoltaic cell module plate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the illumination system into multiple reflective plates instead of using a single large mirror. Each plate is positioned to cover specific angular ranges and time periods, ensuring that as the sun moves across the sky, different plates sequentially redirect sunlight onto the photovoltaic cells. This segmentation eliminates shadowing problems and ensures continuous, stable illumination coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the principle of local quality by designing each reflective plate with specific properties and positions optimized for particular sunlight angles and times of day. Each plate is tailored to address local illumination needs, ensuring that every portion of the photovoltaic cell array receives appropriate illumination throughout the day, thereby maintaining stable power generation.
4Temperature
If solar thermal power generation apparatus uses electromechanical tracking equipment to focus sunlight, then working medium temperature increases, but apparatus complexity increases and solar water heater temperature is not enough for power generation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces electromechanical tracking equipment with stationary reflective plates that focus sunlight onto the solar thermal collector. The reflective plates are positioned and angled to concentrate solar energy onto the working medium without requiring mechanical movement, thereby achieving high temperatures while eliminating the complexity of tracking systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the photovoltaic power generation system with solar thermal power generation into a single integrated facility. The reflective plates serve dual purposes: redirecting sunlight for photovoltaic cells and concentrating solar energy for thermal heating. This combination achieves both electricity generation and high-temperature thermal energy without requiring separate tracking mechanisms.
