Power Supply Device Utilization Ranking and Incentive System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current power supply devices lack mechanisms to promote their utilization, despite their potential as emergency power sources or energy resources in Virtual Power Plants.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that receives operation information from power supply devices, ranks users based on fuel consumption and other metrics, and sets incentives to encourage efficient use, thereby promoting the utilization of these devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If power supply devices are deployed as emergency power sources or VPP energy resources, then energy supply capability is improved, but utilization promotion mechanisms are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of user motivation by introducing a ranking mechanism based on fuel consumption efficiency. Users are ranked according to their fuel consumption performance when operating power supply devices, and incentives are provided to high-ranking users. This transforms the static deployment model into a dynamic utilization promotion system that encourages efficient operation.
2Loss of energy
If fuel consumption is reduced in engine generators, then energy efficiency is improved, but user motivation to operate efficiently is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where fuel consumption data from power supply devices is collected, processed into rankings, and communicated back to users. This feedback loop allows users to see their performance relative to others and receive incentives for improved fuel efficiency, thereby motivating them to operate their devices more efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a new parameter (ranking based on fuel consumption) that directly influences user behavior. By transforming fuel consumption data into a competitive ranking system with associated incentives, the system changes the operational parameters from simple fuel usage to efficiency-optimized operation driven by user motivation.

AI summary
An information processing device includes: a reception unit configured to receive operation information on a power supply device from the power supply device that supplies power to an electric apparatus detachably connected thereto; a ranking unit configured to rank a user of the power supply device based on the received operation information; and a setting unit configured to set an incentive to the user based on a rank of the ranked user. The operation information includes: fuel consumption information indicating a fuel consumption amount of an engine generator; and measurement information indicating measurement results of voltage and current that the power supply device is supplying to the electric apparatus. The ranking unit identifies fuel consumption based on the fuel consumption information and the measurement information, and ranks the user based on the identified fuel consumption.
