Vehicle Power Supply Selection System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need to appropriately select vehicles for electric power supply to another facility using their batteries, considering factors like battery information, power supply source state, and geographical positioning to optimize power distribution and reduce transmission losses.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a first acquisition unit for battery information, a second acquisition unit for power supply source information, a selection unit to choose suitable vehicles based on both battery and supply source data, and a request unit to request electric power from the selected vehicles, with optional considerations for geographical positioning and battery state of charge.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If vehicles are selected for electric power supply without considering battery information and supply source state, then the selection process is simple, but the power supply efficiency and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing system serves multiple functions: acquiring battery information from vehicles, acquiring supply source information from power facilities, selecting appropriate vehicles based on both information sets, and requesting power provision. This multi-functional integration resolves the contradiction by creating a universal platform that handles all selection criteria in one coordinated system rather than separate complex subsystems
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing system acts as an intermediary between vehicles and power supply sources. It collects and processes information from both sides, performs the matching selection, and coordinates the power transfer. This intermediary role simplifies the overall system architecture while ensuring reliable power supply by basing selections on comprehensive information about both battery states and supply source requirements
2Loss of energy
If vehicles are selected without considering geographical positioning, then the selection process is simpler, but power transmission losses increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by considering the geographical location of both vehicles and power supply sources when making selections. By integrating position information into the selection criteria, the system prioritizes matching vehicles that are geographically close to power needs, thereby reducing transmission distances and minimizing energy losses in the power transfer process
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive battery information is collected and analyzed, then vehicle selection accuracy improves, but information processing time and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously acquiring and maintaining battery information from vehicles and supply source information from power facilities before actual power requests are made. This advance data collection and pre-processing allows the selection algorithm to quickly match vehicles to power needs without time-consuming data gathering during critical moments, thus improving both accuracy and response time

AI summary
An information processing system includes: a first acquisition unit that acquires battery information on a battery of each of one or more vehicles; a second acquisition unit that acquires supply source information on a state of a power supply source; a selection unit that selects a vehicle for providing electric power for the power supply source as a power source out of the one or more vehicles, based on the supply source information and the battery information; and a request unit that requests the vehicle selected as the power source to provide the electric power.
