Innovation Solution

A method and device for configuring a customized compensation scheme for each power distribution room based on specific electric power quality problems, utilizing SVG, APF, and DVR devices, with capacities determined by unique expressions, and considering both functional and economic indexes to optimize power quality control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If centralized compensation is used, then implementation is simple, but governance effect is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidgovernance effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the compensation function across multiple devices and locations, allowing each segment to address specific power quality issues independently. This modular segmentation maintains implementation simplicity while significantly improving overall governance effect by targeting specific problems where they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By implementing localized compensation schemes tailored to each power distribution room's specific needs, the system achieves comprehensive governance coverage without sacrificing implementation simplicity. Each location receives the appropriate compensation type and capacity, optimizing governance effectiveness across the entire platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If customized compensation schemes are configured for each power distribution room, then governance effectiveness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegovernance effectivenessVSAvoidcompensation scheme complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the compensation system into standardized modular units (SVG modules, DVR modules) that can be independently configured and deployed. Each power distribution room receives a customized combination of these standardized modules based on its specific needs, achieving high governance effectiveness while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves customized compensation for each power distribution room by selectively deploying appropriate compensation devices and capacities based on local requirements. This localized approach optimizes governance effectiveness for each room while the overall system complexity remains manageable through standardized device modules and systematic configuration methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If self-generating and self-consuming power supply technology is used, then platform independence is maintained, but energy consumption is high and pollution is heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform independenceVSAvoidenergy consumption and pollution
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an onshore power grid as an intermediary to supply power to the offshore oil production platform via submarine cable. This intermediary connection allows the platform to import clean, efficient onshore power instead of relying on its own generation system, thereby reducing energy consumption and pollution while maintaining operational independence through the controlled power import mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
