Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of recycled water transportation, and in particular to a recycled water transportation method and system integrating energy recovery and electric energy storage. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society and the growth of population, the demand for water resources continues to increase. As an important water resource, the utilization of recycled water has become increasingly important. However, traditional recycled water is often discharged directly, which not only causes a great waste of water resources, but also puts pressure on the environment. Under the dual challenges of energy shortage and environmental protection, it is imperative to find a more efficient and energy-saving method for recycled water utilization. At present, although some recycled water delivery systems have adopted energy recovery technology, these systems often have the following problems: low energy recovery efficiency: due to technical limitations, existing energy recovery devices often cannot fully utilize the energy of recycled water, resulting in low recovery efficiency; low system integration: energy recovery and electrical energy storage are often two independent links, lack of effective integration, resulting in poor overall performance of the system. Therefore, for those skilled in the art, how to develop a recycled water delivery system integrating energy recovery and electrical energy storage to improve energy utilization efficiency is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0009] Preferably, the specific steps of pre-treating the raw wastewater are:

[0014] Preferably, the urban recycled water supply system includes urban recycled water treatment facilities, a hydroelectric power generation device, recycled water storage facilities and recycled water supply facilities, wherein the hydroelectric power generation device is connected to a heat source.
[0015] Preferably, the process of transporting the regenerated water through the urban heating network is as follows: the pre-treated regenerated water enters the urban regenerated water supply system through the water injection pipe, and in the regenerated water treatment stage, the heat-absorbing side of the heat pump absorbs the heat of the heating network water, and the heat-releasing side uses the absorbed heat to heat the heating network water entering the heat-releasing side, the water outlet of the heat-absorbing side is connected to the water user, and the heat-releasing side is connected to the urban heating network or the secondary heating network.

[0023] Preferably, it also includes a control module connected to the energy storage module, which is used to control the charging or discharging state of the energy storage device.
[0024] According to the specific embodiments provided by the present invention, the present invention discloses the following technical effects:
[0025] 1.

[0032] Figure 2 It is a system structure diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for transporting recycled water integrating energy recovery and electrical energy storage, such as Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following:

[0036] S2. Transporting recycled water through the urban recycled water supply network;
[0037] S3. Install a hydroelectric power generation device in the urban recycled water system to convert the gravitational potential energy of the water flow during the recycled water transportation process into electrical energy for energy recovery;
[0038] S4. Store the recovered electric energy in the energy storage device for use in the subsequent operation of the recycled water delivery system.
[0039] Furthermore, the specific steps of pre-treatment of the raw wastewater are as follows:
[0040] S11. First, coarse particles and suspended solids in the original wastewater are removed through screens, grit chambers, and primary sedimentation tanks to achieve solid-liquid separation. In this process, the generated sludge is used for biomass energy recovery through anaerobic digestion technology;
[0041] S12. After solid-liquid separation, the wastewater enters the membrane treatment process, and impurities in the wastewater are removed through ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis technology or wetland purification technology. At the same time, during the reflux of the concentrated liquid, energy recovery is achieved through the pressure energy recovery device.
[0042] Furthermore, it also includes real-time power detection of the energy storage device, and comparing the detected real-time power with the standard power threshold, and timely controlling the charging or discharging state of the energy storage device according to the comparison result. The energy storage device includes a battery and a super capacitor.
[0043] Although energy recovery can reduce the energy consumption of the recycled water delivery system to a certain extent, the recovered electric energy is often intermittent and unstable. In order to ensure the stable operation of the system, the recovered electric energy needs to be stored so that it can be released when needed. Electric energy storage equipment can effectively solve the intermittent problem of energy recovery and improve the reliability and stability of the system. At the same time, the stored electric energy can also be released when the power grid load is peak, playing the role of peak load shifting and valley filling, and improving the operation efficiency of the power grid.

When the power supply end is supplying power normally, the current power of the battery module is obtained; it is determined whether the current power reaches the preset power threshold; it is determined whether the load is in a power-using state; if the current power reaches the power threshold and the load is in a power-using state, the output voltage of the regulating module is adjusted to reduce the battery current of the battery module to a first set range, thereby maintaining the power of the battery module in the preset power range; if the current power reaches the power threshold and the load is not in a power-using state, the output voltage of the regulating module is adjusted to be consistent with the battery voltage of the battery module, so that the battery current of the battery module is reduced to a first set range, thereby maintaining the power of the battery module in the preset power range.
[0045] Furthermore, the reclaimed water supply system includes urban reclaimed water treatment facilities, a hydroelectric power generation device, reclaimed water storage facilities and reclaimed water supply facilities, wherein the hydroelectric power generation device is connected to a heat source. The process of transporting the reclaimed water through the urban reclaimed water supply system is as follows: the pre-treated reclaimed water enters the urban reclaimed water supply system through a water injection pipe, and during the reclaimed water treatment stage, the heat-absorbing side of the heat pump absorbs the heat of the hot water network, and the heat-releasing side uses the absorbed heat to heat the hot water network entering the heat-releasing side, the water outlet of the heat-absorbing side is connected to the water user, and the heat-releasing side is connected to the urban hot water network or the secondary hot water network. During the reclaimed water transportation stage, the hydroelectric power generation device converts gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy to generate electricity.
