Incentive Distribution for Shared Power Supply Users
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electric power management systems fail to adequately distribute incentives for electric power sell operations among multiple users sharing a power supply, leading to reduced motivation for users to conserve energy, as those who save power are not properly rewarded for their contributions.
Innovation Solution
An electric power management system that includes a shared power supply, an electric power sell instruction unit, and a countervalue distributing unit, which provides a higher incentive for users who conserve energy by distributing a larger portion of the electric power sell revenue to users with lower power usage, and includes features like supply and demand situation monitoring and user-specific correction mechanisms to enhance motivation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the countervalue of the electric power sell operation is evenly distributed to each user, then the distribution method is simple, but users who save energy are not properly rewarded, reducing their motivation to conserve power
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the countervalue distribution based on each user's specific power consumption characteristics. Instead of uniform distribution, the system calculates individual distribution ratios according to each user's power usage amount, thereby rewarding users who consume less power and motivating energy conservation behavior.
2Ease of operation
If a larger portion of countervalue is provided to users with smaller power usage, then user motivation for saving energy is maintained, but the distribution calculation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically calculating each user's distribution ratio based on their power consumption data. The control unit autonomously determines the countervalue allocation without requiring manual intervention, thereby managing the calculation complexity internally while presenting a simple interface to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring power consumption amounts and adjusting distribution ratios accordingly. The system provides feedback to users about their power usage and corresponding countervalue allocation, enabling dynamic optimization of the distribution calculation based on actual consumption patterns.

AI summary
The herein disclosed electric power management system includes a shared power supply, and an electric power selling process unit that is configured to control the electric power sell from the shared power supply to the external system, and a countervalue distributing unit that is configured to distribute a countervalue for the electric power sell to each of the plural users. Then, the countervalue distributing unit is configured to distribute the countervalue for the electric power sell so as to provide a larger countervalue of the electric power sell to an user whose electric power use amount from the shared power supply is smaller. By doing this, it is possible to provide a larger electric power sell countervalue to the user who has efforted to save the electric power.
