Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current charging mechanisms for electric auxiliary vehicles do not monitor or regulate the power supply from charging piles and the residual power of the vehicles, resulting in inefficient power management.
Innovation Solution
A power management system that includes control devices on electric auxiliary vehicles, a wireless charging platform, and a remote monitoring device, which communicates to control the power supply based on residual power and platform power limits, and enables wireless power transfer between vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If the wireless charging platform charges all electric auxiliary vehicles using external power, then the charging service is available to all vehicles, but the external power consumption increases and management efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables electric auxiliary vehicles with residual power to automatically serve as mobile charging units for other vehicles. The power management controller identifies vehicles needing charge and connects them with vehicles having residual power, allowing the system to self-regulate power distribution without external intervention for every charging event.
Solution Approach 2:
The power management controller continuously monitors residual power levels of all connected vehicles and dynamically adjusts power distribution decisions. The system receives feedback on power status and automatically generates appropriate charging commands, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes power usage based on real-time conditions.
2Productivity
If the system monitors and regulates power supply for each vehicle individually, then power management efficiency improves, but the system complexity and monitoring requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system consolidates monitoring and control functions into a single power management controller that handles all connected vehicles simultaneously. Rather than requiring separate monitoring systems for each vehicle, the controller aggregates power status information from all vehicles and manages power distribution across the entire group through one centralized unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The power management controller serves multiple functions: it monitors residual power levels, identifies charging needs, establishes power transfer connections, and regulates power flow. This multi-functional device replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate systems, reducing overall complexity while maintaining comprehensive power management capability.
