Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device and method for coupling a heat-pump unit and a combined heat and power generation unit. The goal is to achieve the highest efficiency and the lowest resource consumption compared to conventional uncoupled plants. The system utilizes waste heat from the heat-pump motor and raises or lowers environmental heat to a usable level. The system can also include a Stirling engine, gas turbine, and fuel cell, which further enhance flexibility and versatility in the practical application of the hybrid energy plant.

Problems solved by technology

A direct combination of these two technologies, thus, a hybrid energy plant made up of a combined heat and power generation unit and a heat pump, which simultaneously or basically is able to generate current, heat and cold, is not available under the state of the art.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]FIG. 1 shows a basic block diagram of a coupling system 100 for a hybrid energy plant including a heat-pump unit 110 and a combined heat and power generation unit 120 having at least one coupling device 130 for coupling heat-pump unit 110 and combined heat and power generation unit 120. In this context, the at least one coupling device 130 has an electrical coupling unit and / or a hydraulic coupling unit which are designed to be switchable for a coupling of heat-pump unit 110 and combined heat and power generation unit 120. The electrical coupling unit and the hydraulic coupling unit, respectively, are not represented explicitly here.

[0050]The hybrid energy plant first of all has a fuel feed 40 and a current feed 41, and secondly, has an outlet for generated heat 42, generated cold 43 and generated current 44. Coupling device 130 further includes a fuel-fired motor 20, a gear unit 21 coupled to motor 20, and an electric machine 22 coupled to gear unit 21 which is driven via mot...

Abstract

A coupling system for a hybrid energy plant including a heat-pump unit and a combined heat and power generation unit, having at least one coupling device for coupling the heat-pump unit and the combined heat and power generation unit. A device and a method provide a coupling for a heat-pump unit and a combined heat and power generation unit, in doing which, the highest possible overall efficiency and the lowest possible consumption of resources relative to already known uncoupled plants is ensured. At least one coupling device has an electrical coupling unit and / or a hydraulic coupling unit which are designed to be switchable for a coupling of the heat-pump unit and the combined heat and power generation unit. An energy-transformation system for generating heat and / or cold and a method for energy transformation having a coupling system are also provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a coupling system for a hybrid energy plant including a heat-pump unit and a combined heat and power generation unit, having at least one coupling device for coupling the heat-pump unit and the combined heat and power generation unit. In addition, the present invention relates to an energy-transformation system having a heat-pump unit for generating heat and / or cold and a combined heat and power generation unit for generating current and / or heat. The present invention further relates to a method for energy transformation having a coupling system.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0002]Combined heat and power generation units are generally in domestic electrical installation practice and the service engineering of buildings. These units generate both current and heat, while being fed a fuel such as oil or wood, for example. In so doing, they have a great overall efficiency, since the heat, which is actually obtained as a by-product of ...
