Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power supply control systems face inefficiencies in energy usage when transitioning electrical loads from operational to non-operational states, leading to delayed power interruptions and increased energy consumption.
Innovation Solution
A power supply control system that includes a power generator, a power supply (such as a capacitor and a battery), and a control unit that charges the power supply until a predetermined period elapses after switching from an operational to a non-operational state, allowing for continuous charging and efficient energy management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the supply of power to the electrical load is interrupted immediately when switching from operation state to non-operation state, then energy efficiency is improved, but the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine increases rapidly
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit charges the power supply in advance before the electrical load is switched from operation state to non-operation state. This preliminary charging action ensures that the power supply is ready to immediately take over power delivery when the load is interrupted, preventing rapid engine speed increase while maintaining energy efficiency through timely power supply management
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply acts as an intermediary energy storage device between the power generator and the electrical load. By charging the power supply before load interruption and using it to maintain power delivery during the transition period, the system mediates the conflict between immediate power cutoff (for energy efficiency) and engine speed stability
2Stability of the object's composition
If the supply of power to the electrical load is delayed when switching from operation state to non-operation state, then the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is stabilized, but energy efficiency is reduced due to excessive delay
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs preliminary charging of the power supply before the load switching occurs, and precisely controls the timing to stop charging at a predetermined moment. This preliminary action with precise timing control allows the system to maintain engine speed stability while avoiding excessive delay that would waste energy, achieving optimal balance between the two competing requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit dynamically adjusts the charging timing and duration based on the operational state transitions. By controlling when to start and stop charging the power supply relative to load switching events, the system dynamically optimizes the balance between engine speed stability and energy efficiency, avoiding both rapid speed changes and excessive delays
