Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wind power and photovoltaic systems operate independently without coordinated control, then each system can maintain its own operational simplicity, but the overall power output becomes highly fluctuating and difficult to integrate into the power grid

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower grid integration stabilityVSAvoidpower control system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges wind power and photovoltaic systems into a unified power generation system with coordinated control. The control system integrates wind speed parameters, light intensity parameters, and power ratio conditions to jointly determine power adjustment amounts for both wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, transforming independent operations into a coordinated system that reduces overall power fluctuation and improves grid integration stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the power generation system uses simple operational modes, then the system is easier to operate and maintain, but the power adjustment capability is limited and cannot effectively respond to changing environmental conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower adjustment capabilityVSAvoidsystem operation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power adjustment by continuously monitoring wind speed parameters, light intensity parameters, and power ratio conditions. The control system dynamically calculates power adjustment amounts based on real-time environmental conditions and system state, allowing the power generation system to adaptively respond to changing conditions while maintaining automated operation that does not significantly increase operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The control system employs feedback mechanisms by continuously detecting wind speed, light intensity, and current power output, then using this information to adjust power generation. The system monitors the actual power output and compares it with target values derived from environmental parameters and optimal power ratios, making real-time adjustments to maintain optimal operation and improve adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the system maintains fixed power output ratios between wind and photovoltaic, then the operational control is simpler, but the system cannot optimize power output based on varying environmental conditions and loses efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecombined operation efficiencyVSAvoidpower control calculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the power ratio parameter dynamically based on environmental conditions. The control system calculates optimal power ratios by considering wind speed parameters, light intensity parameters, and current system state, then adjusts the power output distribution between wind turbines and photovoltaic panels accordingly. This allows the system to optimize productivity by adapting the power ratio to match prevailing environmental conditions rather than maintaining a fixed ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
