Power Trading Management via Storage Decoupling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power trading systems face challenges in establishing trades when the conditions for power supply and demand do not match, leading to wasted power on the supply side and unmet demand on the demand side.
Innovation Solution
A power trading management apparatus that connects power supply, demand, and storage/discharge systems via a network, allowing for communication and processing of power supply and demand data to facilitate flexible trading by storing and discharging power across different time periods, even when supply and demand conditions do not perfectly align.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If power trading matches supply and demand conditions strictly, then trading reliability is improved, but power is wasted on supply side and cannot be used on demand side when conditions do not match
Solution Approach 1:
A power storage and discharge apparatus is introduced as an intermediary component between the power supply apparatus and power demand apparatus. This mediator stores excess power when supply exceeds demand and discharges stored power when demand exceeds supply, enabling flexible trading without strict condition matching while preventing power waste
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the time parameter of power transmission by storing power during periods when supply and demand conditions do not match and releasing it at appropriate times. This temporal parameter transformation allows trading to proceed even when immediate supply-demand conditions are not aligned
2Manufacturing precision
If power trading requires exact condition matching between supply and demand, then trading precision is improved, but adaptability to different conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The power storage and discharge apparatus serves as a buffer that decouples the supply and demand conditions. It absorbs variations in supply timing and demand timing, allowing the system to adapt to different conditions while maintaining precise tracking of traded power amounts through metering functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts power transmission based on actual supply and demand conditions rather than requiring predetermined exact matching. The power storage apparatus flexibly charges or discharges based on real-time conditions, and the power transmission switching apparatus dynamically routes power flows to accommodate varying scenarios
3Device complexity
If power is transmitted directly from supply to demand apparatus, then system complexity is reduced, but power cannot be utilized when timing conditions do not align
Solution Approach 1:
The power storage and discharge apparatus is added as an intermediary component that enables power utilization across different time periods. While this adds a component to the system, it dramatically improves power utilization by capturing and releasing power based on timing conditions, preventing waste when direct transmission is not feasible
Solution Approach 2:
The power storage and discharge apparatus performs multiple functions: it stores excess power, supplies power during deficits, and acts as a buffer to enable trading under various timing conditions. This multi-functionality justifies the added component by providing comprehensive solutions to multiple trading scenarios

AI summary
A power trading management apparatus receives power supply application data including the amount of supplied power and a supply period from a supply-side computer, and receives power demand application data including the amount of requested power and a request period from a demand-side computer, determines whether or not a first trading condition in which the supply period is a period earlier than the request period is satisfied, decides the amount of transmitted power for a power demand apparatus based on an amount of power of the amount of supplied power or the amount of requested power when the first trading condition is satisfied, and stores the amount of supplied power in a power storage and discharge apparatus from a power supply apparatus in the supply period and discharges the amount of transmitted power decided by the decision processing to the power demand apparatus from the power storage and discharge apparatus.
