VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If wind power station capacity and scale continue to expand, then the proportion of wind power in total generation increases, but the safety and stability of the power system deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewind power proportionVSAvoidpower system stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing wind power output prediction before the actual wind power generation occurs. The system periodically acquires meteorological data, processes it through abnormal value identification and smoothing, calculates wind energy density, and inputs these features into a predictive model to forecast wind power output in advance. This allows power system operators to prepare appropriate scheduling and control strategies beforehand, managing the integration of wind energy while maintaining system stability.

2Measurement precision

If initial meteorological data contains abnormal sub-data, then prediction accuracy deteriorates, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by identifying and smoothing abnormal meteorological data before it is used for wind power prediction. The system periodically acquires initial meteorological data sets, identifies abnormal sub-data through comparison with historical data and statistical analysis, and smooths these abnormal values using neighboring data points. This preprocessing ensures that only clean, reliable data is input into the prediction model, maintaining high prediction accuracy without requiring overly complex processing algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies self-service by implementing automated abnormal data detection and smoothing mechanisms that operate without manual intervention. The system automatically identifies abnormal sub-data by comparing current meteorological data with historical patterns, calculates statistical deviations, and applies smoothing algorithms using surrounding data points. This self-service approach maintains data quality and prediction accuracy while avoiding the need for complex manual data processing or external intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If rolling averaging calculation is performed on instantaneous wind energy density, then prediction reliability improves, but calculation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidcalculation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing rolling averaging calculation on wind energy density using a selectively chosen time window that balances reliability improvement with calculation efficiency. The system calculates instantaneous wind energy density from smoothed meteorological data, then applies rolling averaging over a predetermined time period to obtain more reliable average wind energy density values. This partial averaging approach improves prediction reliability by reducing the impact of instantaneous fluctuations while avoiding the excessive calculation time that would result from using larger time windows or more complex averaging methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
