Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the quantity of solar cells is increased to maintain stable charging voltage, then the chargeable voltage stability is improved, but the installation cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The solar power generation system is divided into multiple stages, with each stage containing solar modules and power pumps. This segmentation allows the system to achieve stable charging voltage through multi-stage voltage boosting rather than increasing the quantity of solar cells in a single stage, thereby reducing the total quantity of solar cells required while maintaining voltage stability.
Solution Approach 2:
Power pumps are introduced as intermediary devices between the solar modules and the energy storage device. These power pumps actively boost the voltage to maintain stable charging conditions, replacing the need for excessive solar cells and reducing the quantity of solar cells required in the system.
2Reliability
If the quantity of solar cells is increased to maintain stable charging voltage, then the chargeable voltage stability is improved, but the space burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into multiple stages, each with its own solar modules and power pumps. This allows the achievement of stable charging voltage through vertical stacking of stages rather than horizontal expansion of solar cell arrays, significantly reducing the space burden while maintaining voltage stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-stage horizontal expansion approach to a multi-stage vertical stacking approach. By adding stages in the vertical dimension rather than expanding horizontally with more solar cells, the system achieves stable charging voltage with reduced space burden.
3Reliability
If the quantity of solar cells is increased to maintain stable charging voltage, then the chargeable voltage stability is improved, but the construction complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into standardized modular stages, each containing solar modules and power pumps. This segmentation into repeatable units simplifies construction compared to designing and installing a large single-stage system, as each module can be independently configured and assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates controllable power pumps that dynamically adjust voltage output based on real-time conditions. This dynamic control capability allows the system to maintain stable charging voltage without requiring a fixed, overly complex static configuration of solar cells.
4Reliability
If the quantity of solar cells is increased to maintain stable charging voltage, then the chargeable voltage stability is improved, but the equipment cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Power pumps serve as intermediary voltage-boosting devices that replace the need for excessive solar cells. By introducing this intermediate component, the system achieves stable charging voltage with a reduced quantity of solar cells, thereby lowering equipment cost while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the voltage parameter through active control using power pumps rather than passively relying on increased solar cell quantity. This parameter change approach allows stable charging voltage to be achieved with fewer solar cells, reducing equipment cost.
