Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If a large number of solar panels are arranged to meet the minimum power generation output requirement, then the power generation output is satisfied, but the assembly cost increases and the area occupied increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an inverter as an intermediary device between the solar panels and the power grid. The inverter converts the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) suitable for grid connection, enabling the system to meet power generation requirements with fewer panels by optimizing the conversion process and reducing losses
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operating parameters of the solar power system by using inverters with optimized conversion efficiency and by adjusting the configuration of solar panels to maximize energy capture during peak sunlight hours, thereby reducing the total number of panels needed
2Duration of action of moving object
If the effective power generation output time is extended by arranging more solar panels, then the power generation duration is prolonged, but the assembly cost and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by using inverters that are pre-configured with optimized conversion parameters and by pre-positioning solar panels in configurations that maximize energy capture during anticipated peak sunlight hours, thereby extending effective power generation time without adding excessive system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent ensures continuity of useful action by using inverters that maintain high conversion efficiency throughout operation and by configuring the solar panel array to continuously capture sunlight during the day, thereby prolonging power generation output time with minimal additional components
3Ease of operation
If an inverter is installed to convert direct-current power to alternating-current power, then the power can be output and supplied, but the inverter consumes electric energy and reduces the power generation output
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the inverter by optimizing its conversion efficiency through advanced power electronics and control algorithms, thereby minimizing energy losses during the DC-to-AC conversion process while maintaining the ability to supply power to the grid
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional inverter mechanisms with more efficient power electronic converters that use solid-state devices instead of mechanical components, reducing energy losses and improving overall conversion efficiency
