Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the power consumption of electric devices is increased to support more services, then the service capability is improved, but the backup power source capacity requirement increases, leading to higher costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic power consumption control by adjusting the power consumption of individual services based on the remaining electricity of the backup power source. The control module dynamically determines whether to reduce power consumption of specific services by comparing current power consumption against the backup power source's remaining capacity, thereby adapting the system's energy usage to available resources without permanently reducing service capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the power consumption parameter of target services dynamically. By identifying specific services as target services and adjusting their power consumption parameters based on backup power source status, the system can reduce overall power consumption while maintaining essential service functionality. This parameter adjustment allows the system to operate within the constraints of the existing backup power source capacity.
2Reliability
If the backup power source capacity is increased to ensure continuous power supply during outages, then the power supply reliability is improved, but the cost of the backup power source increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the control module continuously monitors the remaining electricity of the backup power source and uses this information to adjust service power consumption. The control module receives feedback about the backup power source's charge level and automatically determines whether to reduce power consumption of target services, creating a closed-loop system that maintains reliability within the constraints of the existing power source capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically managing its own power consumption without external intervention. The control module autonomously identifies target services, determines power consumption reduction strategies, and implements adjustments based on the backup power source's remaining electricity, allowing the system to self-regulate and maintain operation within available energy constraints.
3Use of energy by stationary object
If the power consumption reduction operation is applied to more services, then the power consumption is reduced, but the service quality or performance may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies power consumption reduction locally to specific target services rather than uniformly across all services. The control module selectively identifies which services should have their power consumption reduced based on the backup power source's remaining electricity, allowing essential services to maintain full performance while non-critical services experience reduced power consumption. This localized approach minimizes the impact on overall service quality.
