Solution Overview

Problem

Existing power system monitoring and control systems face limitations in process setting, where essential processes may be omitted, and dependencies between processes are difficult to recognize, leading to operational issues and reduced reliability, especially as the system size increases.

Innovation Solution

A system with a process setting unit that receives and verifies process modeling files, a process verification unit that checks for omitted essential processes and dependencies, and a data storage unit that stores verification results, enabling users to efficiently design, add, and delete processes, and ensuring system reliability across various hardware environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually set processes in the typical system, then the system can operate with basic process settings, but essential processes may be omitted and dependencies between processes are difficult to recognize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess setting easeVSAvoidprocess completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification of process settings before execution. The process verification unit checks whether essential processes are omitted and whether process dependencies are properly defined before the system operates, preventing incomplete process configurations from being executed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback to users about process configuration issues. When users set processes, the verification unit analyzes the settings and provides information about missing essential processes or incorrect dependencies, allowing users to correct their configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system size increases and more processes are added, then the system becomes more functional, but the number of processes increases making management more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidprocess management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification unit performs preliminary analysis of process configurations before they are executed. This automated verification reduces the complexity of managing large numbers of processes by automatically checking for errors and omissions that would otherwise require manual inspection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-verification of its own process configurations. The process verification unit automatically analyzes whether essential processes are present and whether dependencies are correctly defined, reducing the burden on users to manually manage complex process relationships.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If processes are set with standby time based on hardware, then the system can adapt to different hardware environments, but it is not easy to recognize dependency between processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehardware adaptabilityVSAvoidprocess dependency recognition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The verification unit provides feedback about process dependencies to users. By analyzing the process settings and providing information about dependency relationships, the system makes hidden dependencies visible and understandable, helping users comprehend how processes relate to each other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system visually represents process dependencies using different colors in the display unit. Essential processes, optional processes, and dependency relationships are shown with distinct visual indicators, making it easy for users to recognize and understand process relationships at a glance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
