Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If computation processing is assigned to distributed computing devices based on simple surplus power availability, then computation tasks can be executed, but facility policies cannot be reflected and resource allocation becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary prediction of power consumption and surplus power before assigning computation processing. The management apparatus predicts future power consumption of facilities and surplus power of distributed power supplies, then assigns computation tasks in advance based on these predictions, ensuring both facility policy compliance and efficient resource allocation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the management apparatus continuously monitors actual power consumption and surplus power, compares them with predicted values, and adjusts computation processing assignments accordingly. This feedback loop ensures that facility policies are reflected while maintaining efficient resource utilization.
2Ease of operation
If computation processing is assigned without considering prediction values of power consumption and surplus power, then assignment is simple, but power supply and demand balance becomes imbalanced
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameters considered in assignment processing from simple surplus power availability to comprehensive prediction values including output power of distributed power supplies, power consumption of facilities, and calculated surplus power. This parameter expansion maintains operational simplicity while ensuring reliable power supply and demand balance.
3Productivity
If computation processing is assigned without reflecting facility policies, then assignment can be performed quickly, but resource utilization becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatus performs preliminary predictions of power consumption and surplus power, and pre-evaluates suitable distributed computing devices before computation tasks are submitted. This preliminary action ensures that when assignment is needed, the process is efficient and resource utilization is optimized while reflecting facility policies.
