Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing power network is centralized and analog, making it difficult to manage power efficiently, provide real-time electricity charge information, and offer incentives for consumers through price variations, as it lacks two-way communication between power supply sources and consumers.
Innovation Solution
A network system with a metering device, communication device, energy management device, and environment information management device that enables two-way communication for power information and carbon dioxide emission management, allowing for selective power-saving operations based on estimated carbon dioxide emission amounts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a centralized power network is used, then power supply stability is improved, but power management efficiency and real-time information availability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the centralized power network into distributed intelligent agents including smart meters, energy management systems, and communication devices. Each segment operates autonomously to manage power consumption locally while maintaining connection to the overall network, thereby improving management efficiency without compromising supply stability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements two-way communication systems that enable real-time feedback between power consumers and suppliers. Smart meters and energy management devices continuously exchange power consumption data, pricing information, and control signals, allowing dynamic adjustment of power usage to optimize management efficiency while maintaining reliable supply
2Device complexity
If analog electromechanical power control is used, then system simplicity is improved, but flexibility and real-time control capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces analog electromechanical control systems with digital communication and processing systems. Intelligent agents use digital sensors, microprocessors, and communication protocols to detect power consumption patterns and execute control decisions, providing flexible real-time control while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized interfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic control capabilities where power management parameters such as pricing signals, consumption thresholds, and operational schedules can be adjusted in real-time based on network conditions, user preferences, and environmental factors. This enables the system to adapt flexibly to changing conditions while maintaining a relatively simple underlying infrastructure
3Stability of the object's composition
If fixed pricing system is used, then system stability is improved, but consumer incentive capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic pricing signals that vary based on time of day, day of week, or network load conditions. Energy management systems send scheduled pricing information to consumers, creating periodic incentives for shifting power consumption to off-peak periods while maintaining overall system stability through predictable pricing patterns
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic modification of pricing parameters such as price levels, discount rates, and incentive thresholds based on power supply conditions, consumption patterns, and market factors. This allows the pricing system to maintain stability through structured parameter adjustments while providing flexible consumer incentives
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are a network system and a method of controlling the same. The network system includes a metering device metering energy supplied from a power supply source, a communication device by which energy information related to the energy communicates, an energy management device recognizing the energy information to control an operation of an electric product, and an environment information management device recognizing a carbon amount or a carbon dioxide amount, which is generated according to the operation of the electric product. A power-saving operation of the electric product is selectively performed, based on the carbon amount or the carbon dioxide amount recognized by the environment information management device. Since a power management program is executed using an environment information management unit, energy may be further efficiently managed within an intellectual power supply network.
