Power Distribution Control System for Machine Engine Stall Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power control systems for machines face inefficiencies and machine downtime due to inadequate distribution of power from sources to powered devices, leading to potential power source failures and decreased performance.
Innovation Solution
A control system that includes power generation, transformation, and distribution modules, along with a processor to determine available power, prioritize power requests, and adjust operating conditions of the power generation system to intelligently distribute power to devices based on their importance and requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If power is distributed to multiple powered devices simultaneously, then more devices can operate, but power source failures occur when demand exceeds supply
Solution Approach 1:
The control system continuously monitors power availability from the power source and adjusts power distribution to individual devices based on real-time feedback. When the power source cannot meet total demand, the system dynamically reduces power to lower-priority devices while maintaining operation of higher-priority devices, preventing power source failures while maximizing the number of operating devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system assigns different priority levels to different powered devices, creating local quality differences in power allocation. High-priority devices receive guaranteed power supply while low-priority devices receive power only when available, allowing the system to operate more devices simultaneously without compromising power source reliability.
2Reliability
If power requests are reduced to prevent failures, then power source reliability improves, but device performance decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts power distribution based on changing conditions rather than using fixed allocations. When power availability increases or device priorities change, the system automatically reallocates power to maintain optimal device performance while preventing power source failures, resolving the contradiction between reliability and productivity.
3Reliability
If intelligent power distribution is implemented, then power source failures are reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system automatically monitors power availability and makes distribution decisions without requiring external intervention or complex manual control. The system serves itself by continuously adjusting power allocation based on real-time conditions, reducing power failures while keeping the control architecture relatively simple through autonomous operation.

AI summary
A method for distributing power generated by a power generation system may include determining available power that can be generated by the power generation system. The method may also include obtaining power requests from power transforming devices, comparing the available power to the power requests, and determining amounts of the available power to distribute to the power transforming devices. The method may further include obtaining operating condition requests from the power transforming devices, and determining the operating conditions under which the power generation system should operate.
