Power Transaction Planning to Reduce Grid Communication Congestion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power transaction systems face challenges in reducing communication congestion and allowing power consumers to autonomously select renewable energy sources based on characteristics like power generation type and position, leading to increased load on communication networks.
Innovation Solution
A power transaction system that includes power supply and demand systems registering plans with a management apparatus, allowing consumers to select suppliers based on power supply plans and transmission prices, and suppliers to select demand destinations based on demand plans, with a network management apparatus dynamically setting transmission prices to manage congestion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If power consumers notify desired power demand specifications to a large number of power suppliers in advance, then power suppliers can respond with bid information, but the load on the communication network increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a transaction management server as an intermediary that mediates between power demand systems and power supply systems. Instead of direct many-to-many communication, the management server receives demand specifications from consumers, processes them, and distributes relevant information to suppliers. This intermediary architecture reduces the communication burden on the network while maintaining transaction flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by having power supply systems register their power supply plans (including generation type, position, and availability) in advance with the transaction management server. This allows the server to pre-filter and match suppliers with demand specifications, reducing the need for extensive real-time communication and lowering network load during actual transactions.
2Ease of operation
If power consumers autonomously select power suppliers based on power generation type and position, then consumer autonomy is improved, but communication congestion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transaction management server acts as an intermediary that enables consumer autonomy without overwhelming the communication network. The server provides consumers with filtered and organized power supply information based on their specifications, allowing autonomous selection while the server handles the complex matching process, reducing direct peer-to-peer communication requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the transaction management server continuously monitors communication patterns and network conditions. Based on this feedback, the server can adjust information distribution strategies, prioritize critical communications, and optimize the matching process to maintain consumer autonomy while managing network load effectively.

AI summary
A power transaction system includes: a power supply system configured to manage a supply of the power; a power demand system configured to manage a demand of the power; and a power transaction management apparatus configured to manage demand and supply transactions. The power supply system registers a power supply plan having a plurality of conditions in the power transaction management apparatus, and the power demand system acquires the power supply plan from the power transaction management apparatus and selects the power supply system as a desired power supply source based on the acquired power supply plan, thereby establishing the demand and supply transactions.
