Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a condensing device and optical fiber cables are used to transmit solar light, then solar light can be transmitted to photoelectric units, but installation area cannot be reduced and installation cost becomes higher
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the condensing device and optical fiber cables from the system by using reflective panels to directly redirect solar light to the photoelectric units. This removes the complex transmission infrastructure while maintaining the essential function of delivering solar light to the power generation panels.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflective panels serve as intermediaries that redirect solar light from the sky to the photoelectric units without requiring complex optical fiber transmission systems. The panels act as a simple, effective mediator between the solar light source and the power generation panels.
2Area of stationary object
If solar light is irradiated to piled solar panels using reflective material on side walls and floors, then installation area is reduced, but amounts of solar light irradiated to the solar panels are different and electric power generation efficiency becomes lower
Solution Approach 1:
The invention applies local quality by configuring reflective panels at specific locations and angles around the piled photoelectric units. Each reflective panel is positioned to redirect solar light to specific panels that need illumination, creating non-uniform but optimized light distribution rather than uniform reflection from all surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The reflective panels are configured to dynamically track and redirect solar light throughout the day as the sun's position changes. The panels can be adjusted or positioned to maintain optimal reflection angles, ensuring that solar light is efficiently distributed to the photoelectric units regardless of the time of day or season.
3Productivity
If reflective panels are used to distribute solar light to piled power generation units, then solar light distribution becomes more uniform, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reflection system is segmented into multiple independent reflective panels positioned at different locations around the piled photoelectric units. Each panel independently redirects solar light to specific panels, allowing for modular design and simplified installation while achieving uniform light distribution across all units.
