[0002] During operation, the servers in the data center will release a large amount of medium and low-grade waste heat. This waste heat is easy to extract, has stable heat generation and high heat capacity. It is a high-quality heat source that can be used to heat domestic water, provide heating, or meet other heat needs. There are about 80,000 data centers in my country. Based on the scale of existing data centers, the total amount of recoverable waste heat from data centers in northern my country is about 10GW, which can theoretically support the heating of 300 million square meters of buildings. Recycling waste heat from data centers for regional heating has broad market prospects and energy-saving significance in northern my country.
[0003] However, at present, most of the waste heat from data centers is directly discharged into the atmosphere, which is a huge waste. At present, there are only a few companies that have applied waste heat recovery systems, such as Alibaba Qiandao Lake Data Center, Tencent Tianjin Data Center, and China Telecom Chongqing Cloud Computing Base. The key energy-saving links in my country's data center industry are air-conditioning systems and IT systems, and waste heat recovery is often overlooked. With the rapid growth in the scale and number of data center construction, the government's requirements for data center energy conservation are also getting higher and higher.
[0004] On the other hand, my country is rich in renewable energy resources, and the contribution of deep development of renewable energy also has broad development prospects in the fields of data center energy conservation and regional cooling and heating. Obviously, the comprehensive utilization of renewable energy and waste heat has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

In winter, the waste heat from the data center, solar energy, and heat from the large water reservoir are respectively collected through high-efficiency heat pump technology, solar thermal technology, and multi-temperature zone continuous heat release technology to achieve cross-seasonal low-carbon heating in cold areas. The system operates stably throughout the year, over and over again, which can effectively reduce users' winter heating costs, reduce the combustion of fossil fuels, the generation of carbon dioxide, and the PUE value of data centers, and has important economic and environmental value.

[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of a renewable energy and waste heat comprehensive utilization system for a data center according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] The present invention provides a system and method for comprehensive utilization of renewable energy and waste heat for a data center. In non-winter season, the waste heat generated by the data center is stored in a large water reservoir through multi-temperature zone continuous heat collection technology. During the whole process, the large water reservoir is successively used as a cross-season cold source for direct supply to the data center, the condensing end of the refrigeration unit, and the heat recovery end of the refrigeration unit, and is finally assisted by a solar collector to heat the temperature to a target heating temperature. In winter, the waste heat from the data center, solar energy, and heat from the large water reservoir are respectively used through high-efficiency heat pump technology, solar thermal technology, and multi-temperature zone continuous heat release technology to achieve cross-seasonal low-carbon heating in cold areas. The system operates stably throughout the year, over and over again, which can effectively reduce users' winter heating costs, reduce the combustion of fossil fuels, the generation of carbon dioxide, and the PUE value of data centers, and has important economic and environmental value.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the renewable energy and waste heat comprehensive utilization system for a data center includes a large water reservoir 1, a No. 1 plate heat exchanger 2, a refrigeration unit condensing end 3, a refrigeration unit heat recovery end 4, a refrigeration unit evaporator 5, a cooling tower 6, a solar collector 7, a buffer water tank 8, a No. 1 heat pump evaporator 9, a No. 1 heat pump condenser 10, a No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11, a No. 2 heat pump condenser 12, a No. 2 plate heat exchanger 13, a plurality of water pumps (a first water pump 14 to a ninth water pump 22), a plurality of stop valves (a first stop valve 23 to a twelfth stop valve 34), a compressor (a first compressor 35 to a third compressor 37), and a throttling device (a first throttling device 38 to a third throttling device 40). The renewable energy and waste heat comprehensive utilization system for the data center includes a water circulation system and a refrigerant circulation system. The water circulation system and the refrigerant circulation system perform heat exchange through heat exchangers such as a No. 1 plate heat exchanger 2, a refrigeration unit condensing end 3, a refrigeration unit heat recovery end 4, a refrigeration unit evaporator 5, a No. 1 heat pump evaporator 9, a No. 1 heat pump condenser 10, a No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11, and a No. 2 heat pump condenser 12.
[0054] The large water reservoir 1 serves as the core device of the entire system. When it is working normally, it is filled with water and is required to form an independent water circulation loop with the No. 1 plate heat exchanger 2, the condensing end 3 of the refrigeration unit, the heat recovery end 4 of the refrigeration unit, the solar collector 7, the buffer water tank 8, and the No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11. Insulation materials are provided around and on the top of the large water reservoir 1, which are not shown in the figure. The large water reservoir 1 uses a layered design concept of hot water top layer distribution and cold water bottom layer distribution to arrange the water outlet mode of the water circulation loop. When the outlet water is hot water and the return water is cold water, the top outlet and top return water mode are preferably used for water circulation. When the outlet water is cold water and the return water is hot water, the bottom outlet and top return water mode are preferably used for water circulation.
[0055] The water circulation loop mainly includes: the No. 1 plate heat exchanger 2 forms an independent water circulation loop with the large water reservoir 1, the cooling tower 6, and the No. 1 heat pump evaporator 9 respectively; the condensing end 3 of the refrigeration unit forms an independent water circulation loop with the large water reservoir 1 and the cooling tower 6 respectively; the heat recovery end 4 of the refrigeration unit forms an independent water circulation loop only with the large water reservoir 1; the cooling water supply / return interface of the data center forms an independent water circulation loop with the No. 1 plate heat exchanger 2 and the refrigeration unit evaporator 5 respectively; the solar collector 7 forms an independent water circulation loop with the large water reservoir 1 and the buffer water tank 8 respectively; the buffer water tank 8 forms an independent water circulation loop with the large water reservoir 1, the solar collector 7, the No. 1 heat pump condenser 10, the No. 2 heat pump condenser 12, and the No. 2 plate heat exchanger 13 respectively.
[0056] The refrigerant circulation system includes: a refrigeration unit circulation system, a No. 1 heat pump circulation system and a No. 2 heat pump circulation system. The refrigerant circulation system is mainly composed of a refrigeration unit evaporator 5, a first compressor 35, a refrigeration unit heat recovery end 4, a refrigeration unit condensation end, and a first throttling device 38; the No. 1 heat pump circulation system is mainly composed of a No. 1 heat pump evaporator 9, a second compressor 36, a No. 1 heat pump condenser 10, and a second throttling device 39; the No. 2 heat pump circulation system is mainly composed of a No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11, a third compressor 37, a No. 2 heat pump condenser 12, and a third throttling device 40. The heat source of the No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11 can be a water source from a large water reservoir 1 or an air source. When the sixth water pump 19 drives the water circulation loop, the water source of the large water reservoir 1 is used as a heat source. When the water circulation loop is closed, the fan of the No. 2 heat pump evaporator 11 is driven, and the air source is used as a heat source.
[0057] The water pumps (the first water pump 14 to the ninth water pump 22) and the stop valves (the first stop valve 23 to the twelfth stop valve 34) can be freely switched between the various operating modes according to actual needs.
[0058] Based on the above system, the present invention also proposes an operation method of a renewable energy and waste heat comprehensive utilization system for a data center, which revolves around the heat storage process and heat release process of a large water reservoir 1 to achieve cross-seasonal regional cooling and heating.
[0059] The heat storage process is also called the cooling process. It requires the waste heat utilization system to achieve a temperature change of the large water storage tank from 0°C to 90°C in spring, summer and autumn. When the temperature of the large water storage tank 1 is 0°C, the corresponding ice content is about 40%. The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0060] (1) When the temperature of large water reservoir 1 is between 0 and 20°C, the large water reservoir enters direct cooling mode. At this time, the water circulation loop composed of large water reservoir 1 and plate heat exchanger 2 is turned on, and other water circulation loops and refrigerant circulation loops are closed. Large water reservoir 1 directly provides cooling capacity for the cooling water loop of the data center.

The large water reservoir 1 provides cooling for the refrigeration unit heat recovery end 4, and the solar collector 7 stores heat for the buffer water tank 8. When the buffer water tank temperature rises to 90°C, the hot and cold water are replaced between the top water layer of the large water reservoir 1, and the cycle is repeated.
[0063] (4) When the temperature of the large water reservoir 1 is between 61 and 90°C, the large water reservoir-collector mode is entered, the water circulation loop consisting of the large water reservoir 1 and the solar collector 7 is turned on, and other water circulation loops and refrigerant circulation loops are turned off, and the solar collector 7 provides reserve heat for the large water reservoir 1. It is required that the water temperature of the large water reservoir 1 reaches about 90°C from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn.
[0064] The heat release process is also called the cold storage process, which requires the waste heat utilization system to achieve a change in the temperature of the large water storage tank from 90°C to 0°C in winter.
[0065] (1) When the temperature of the large water reservoir 1 is 0°C, the corresponding ice content is about 40%. The specific implementation process is as follows: When the water temperature of the large water reservoir 1 is 37-90°C, the large water reservoir enters the direct heating mode, the water circulation loop composed of the large water reservoir 1 and the buffer water tank 8 is opened, the water circulation loop composed of the buffer water tank 8 and the second plate heat exchanger 13 is opened, and other water circulation loops and refrigerant circulation loops are closed.
[0066] (2) When the water temperature of the large water reservoir 1 is between 0 and 37°C, the buffer water tank composite heating mode is entered.
