Solution Overview

Problem

Existing energy storage devices in industrial applications lack accurate methods to measure and analyze power loads over extended periods, leading to inaccurate capacity transition predictions due to fluctuating usage patterns.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that acquires time-series power data, classifies it into shorter periods, extracts representative power loads, and generates virtual power loads by combining these representative loads, reflecting potential usage changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If power load measurement is performed over a short period (charge-discharge cycle), then measurement simplicity is improved, but prediction accuracy of energy storage device life deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement simplicityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the power load measurement period into multiple shorter intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly periods) within a longer overall measurement period. This allows the system to maintain measurement simplicity by using short-term data collection while improving prediction accuracy by analyzing trends across extended timeframes through classification of power load patterns into different usage periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If direct use of measurement result from certain period is applied, then processing simplicity is improved, but adaptability to usage changes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to usage changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptability by classifying power load patterns into different usage periods (e.g., initial period, steady-state period, changing period) and selectively applying different processing methods for each classification. This allows the system to adapt to usage changes automatically while maintaining relatively simple processing through rule-based classification rather than complex real-time adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If power load is classified into multiple groups, then analysis accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments power load data into multiple classification groups based on usage patterns (e.g., charge-discharge cycles, idle periods, high-load periods). This segmentation improves analysis accuracy by enabling separate processing of different operational modes while controlling processing complexity through systematic classification rules and automated grouping algorithms that reduce manual intervention requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
