Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a model expression is created for a system with a complicated structure, then the operation plan optimization can be performed, but much time is required for optimizing the operation plan
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the complicated system into multiple pieces of equipment (generators, transformers, etc.) and creates model expressions for each individual component separately. This segmentation allows the optimization process to handle complex systems more efficiently by processing smaller, manageable units rather than attempting to model the entire system as a single complex expression.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically acquiring characteristic data of each piece of equipment and pre-creating model expressions before the optimization process begins. The operation plan creation device stores these pre-prepared model expressions and uses them directly during optimization, eliminating the time-consuming step of creating model expressions during the optimization process itself.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual model expression creation is performed for complex systems, then customization is possible, but the process becomes extremely time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The operation plan creation device performs self-service by automatically acquiring characteristic data of equipment from databases or external systems and autonomously generating appropriate model expressions without requiring manual intervention. The system selects and creates model expressions based on the types of equipment detected in the system configuration, eliminating the need for users to manually create complex model expressions while maintaining adaptability to different equipment types.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs universal model expression templates that can be applied to multiple types of equipment (generators, transformers, etc.). Each equipment type has a standardized model expression format that automatically adapts to the specific characteristics of that equipment type, allowing the same general approach to work across diverse equipment without requiring custom solutions for each device.
