The invention relates to an
electric heating system and a control method thereof. The
electric heating system comprises an electric heat storage boiler unit, a
water circulation unit, a
heat pump main body unit, a climate compensator and a
control unit, wherein the electric heat storage boiler unit is connected with the
water circulation unit connected with a
heat supply zone through an inner circulation
pipe of a first heat exchange unit; the
heat pump main body unit is connected with the
water circulation unit connected with the
heat supply zone through an inner circulation
pipe of a second heat exchange unit; and the climate compensator and the
control unit are separately connected with the electric heat storage boiler unit, the
heat pump main body unit and the water circulation unit. According to the technical scheme provided by the invention, when
electricity usage is at a low trough, circulating water can be independently or simultaneously heated by the heat pump and the electric heat storage boiler, so that the problem that the temperature rise of the heat pump is limited is solved, the heat utilizing efficiency is increased, and the
energy source is saved; and at the same time,
electric energy is converted to
heat energy and stored in a heat storing body by the electric heat storage boiler, and when
electricity usage is at a
high peak, the heat can be released by the electric heat storage boiler through the heat storing body to heat the circulating water and realize indoor heating, so that the
electricity usage pressure of a
power grid is relieved, and electricity fees are saved for a user.
