[0066] The embodiment of the present invention also provides an operation control method of a heat pump energy storage system, which uses any one of the heat pump energy storage systems provided in the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S201: Obtaining status information of the heat pump energy storage system;

[0068] S202: Control the states of the first compressor, the pre-cooling and preheating module, the first to sixth circulating water pumps, the first switch assembly, the second switch assembly, the first water replenishment switch valve, and the second water replenishment switch valve in the heat pump module according to the state information to switch the operating conditions of the heat pump energy storage system.

[0069] In the operation control method of the heat pump energy storage system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the status information of the heat pump energy storage system is first obtained, and then the status of the first compressor, the pre-cooling and preheating module 7, the first circulating water pump G1 to the sixth circulating water pump G6, the first switch component, the second switch component, the first water replenishment switch valve M11 and the second water replenishment switch valve M21 are controlled according to the status information to switch the heat pump energy storage system to different operating conditions, thereby achieving the purpose of two-way energy saving of the heat pump energy storage system. In addition, the characteristics of the energy consumption cycle can be combined with the peak and valley electricity prices to achieve cold storage / heat storage, thereby minimizing the system operating costs.

[0070] Specifically, the above status information may include the water temperature of the cold water at the water make-up main line S0, the water temperature at the outlet and inlet of the first heat source side of the evaporator 4, the water temperature at the outlet and inlet of the second cold source side of the condenser 2, the water temperature before and after heat exchange in the pre-cooling circuit, the water temperature before and after heat exchange in the preheating circuit, and the water temperature and water level of the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 and the hot water in the heat storage tank 6.

[0071] In the above-mentioned operation control method of the heat pump energy storage system, when the heat pump energy storage system starts to operate, the water levels in the cold storage tank 5 and the heat storage tank 6 do not meet the requirements, and the heat pump energy storage system needs to be initially replenished with water. The specific water replenishment process of this method can be as follows:

[0072] When the heat pump energy storage system starts to operate, the first compressor 1 is controlled to shut down; at the same time, the first circulating water pump G1, the second circulating water pump G2, the fifth circulating water pump G5, the first switch component are closed, and the first water supply switch valve M11 is opened until the water level L in the cold storage tank reaches C The first water supply line S11 is connected to the cold storage tank 5 to supply water to the cold storage tank 5. When the water level of the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 reaches the first preset cold water level L11, the first water supply switch valve M11 can be controlled to close to stop supplying water to the cold storage tank 5. At the same time, the third circulating water pump G3 is started, the fourth circulating water pump G4 is shut down, the sixth circulating water pump G6 is started, the second switch component is opened, and the second switch valve is opened until the water level L11 in the cold storage tank is reached. H When the water level of the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 reaches the first preset cold water level L21, the second water replenishment switch valve M21 can be controlled to close to stop replenishing the water in the heat storage tank 6. In the subsequent cooling and heating working conditions, in order to ensure that the compressor of the heat pump circuit can be started, the temperature difference between the water in the cold storage circuit and the water in the heat storage circuit is required. Therefore, during the initial water replenishment process, the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 can be controlled to start preheating at the same time. Figure 3 As shown, the second compressor 71 can be controlled to start, the reversing valve 72 can be opened, the circulating fan 74 can be started, the second heat exchanger 73 can absorb heat, and the precooling and preheating module 7 can preheat the water in the heat storage tank 6 through the first sub-loop in the fifth circulation loop until the hot water temperature T2 in the heat storage tank is equal to the sum of the hot water temperature T1 in the cold storage tank and the first preset temperature difference, so as to achieve the initial water replenishment working condition of the heat pump energy storage system.

[0073] Among them, Figure 3 The figure shows the operating status of each circuit during the pre-cooling preset module preheating process under the initial water replenishment condition of the heat pump energy storage system. The arrows indicate the direction of water flow in the system. Dashed lines indicate no water flow in that pipe, while solid lines indicate water flow. The first preheating temperature difference is the difference between the hot water temperature T2 in the thermal storage tank and the hot water temperature T1 in the cold storage tank after the initial water replenishment condition is completed. For example, the first preset temperature difference can be set to 10°C. Other values ​​are also possible, and are not limited here and can be selected based on actual conditions.

[0074] In the operation control method of the heat pump energy storage system, after the initial water replenishment of the heat pump energy storage system is completed, it is necessary to cool and heat the water in the cold storage tank 5 and the heat storage tank 6. The specific steps may include:

[0075] First, control the first water supply switch valve M11 to be closed, the second water supply switch valve M21 to be closed, the second circulating water pump G2 to be shut down, the fourth circulating water pump G4 to be shut down, the fifth circulating water pump G5 to be shut down, the sixth circulating water pump G6 to be shut down, the first switch component to be closed, the second switch component to be opened, the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 to be shut down, and control the first circulating water pump G1 to be started, the third circulating water pump G3 to be started, and the first compressor 1 to be started; the first compressor 1 is started, the first circulating water pump G1 and the second circulating water pump G2 are started, which enables the heat pump module to absorb the heat in the cold storage circuit and transfer the absorbed heat to the heat storage circuit. Through the heat pump technology, "electricity can replace gas", and high-efficiency heat pump units can be used to achieve high-temperature heating. At the same time, tap water is used to supply water to extract heat and generate low-temperature cold water, thereby achieving two-way energy saving. In addition, the characteristics of the energy consumption cycle can be combined with peak and valley electricity prices to achieve cold / heat storage, thereby minimizing system operating costs.

[0076] Then, the water temperature at the outlet of the first heat source side of the evaporator 4 and the water temperature at the outlet of the second cold source side of the condenser 2 are obtained to determine whether the heat exchange between the heat pump module and the cold storage circuit and the heat storage circuit can meet the cooling and heating requirements;

[0077] Among them, if the water temperature T3 at the outlet of the first heat source side of the evaporator is less than or equal to the preset cold water temperature and the water temperature T4 at the outlet of the second cold source side of the condenser is less than the preset hot water temperature, it means that the heat exchange of the heat pump module cannot meet the heating demand of the heat storage circuit. In order to meet the heating demand of the heat storage circuit, it is necessary to preheat the water in the heat storage tank 6, then the sixth circulating water pump G6 is controlled to start and the precooling and preheating module 7 is controlled to start to preheat the water in the preheating circuit. Figure 4 As shown, the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 is started to preheat the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 through the second sub-circuit in the preheating circuit until the water temperature T3 at the outlet of the first heat source side of the evaporator is less than or equal to the first preset cold water temperature and the water temperature T4 at the outlet of the second cold source side of the condenser is greater than or equal to the preset hot water temperature. At this time, the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 can be turned off, which can meet the cooling and heating needs, so as to realize the cooling and heating working conditions of the heat pump energy storage system, and realize cold and heat storage that meets user needs, and the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 can use low-quality heat in air energy for pre-cooling or preheating.

[0078] Among them, Figure 4The figure shows the operating status of each circuit during pre-cooling and pre-heating of the heat pump energy storage system under cooling and heating conditions. The arrows indicate the direction of water flow in the system. A dotted line indicates no flow in that pipe, and a solid line indicates flow. The preset cold water temperature is the target temperature that the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 needs to reach. For example, the preset cold water temperature can be set to 10°C. The preset hot water temperature is the target temperature that the hot water in the thermal storage tank 6 needs to reach. For example, the preset hot water temperature can be 50°C. The preset cold water temperature and the preset hot water temperature can also be set to other values, which are not limited here and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0079] The operation control method of the heat pump energy storage system can use the water in the cold storage tank 5 and the heat storage tank 6 to supply water to the user when the user needs cold water or hot water after the cooling and heating conditions of the heat pump energy storage system are completed, thereby saving energy. The specific steps may include:

[0080] If the cold water temperature T1 in the cold storage tank is equal to the preset cold water temperature and the water level L in the cold storage tank is C The second circulating water pump G2 is controlled to start until the water level in the cold storage tank reaches L12. C It is closed after being less than or equal to the second preset cold water level L12 to provide cold water to the user, wherein the sum of the difference between the second preset cold water level L12 and the first water level is less than the first preset cold water level L11;

[0081] If the hot water temperature T1 in the heat storage tank is equal to the preset hot water temperature and the water level L in the heat storage tank is H If the water level in the heat storage tank is greater than the sum of the second preset hot water level L22 and the difference between the second water level, the fourth circulating water pump G4 is controlled to start until the water level in the heat storage tank is L H It is closed after being less than or equal to the second preset hot water level L22 to provide hot water for the user, wherein the sum of the difference between the second preset hot water level L22 and the second water level is less than the first preset hot water level L21.

[0082] Among them, Figure 5The figure shows the operating status of each circuit in the heat pump energy storage system under cooling and heating conditions. Arrows indicate the direction of water flow in the system. Dashed lines indicate no flow in that pipe, and solid lines indicate flow. The first preset cold water level L11 is the maximum level of cold water in the cold storage tank 5, the second preset cold water level L12 is the minimum level of cold water in the cold storage tank 5 to ensure system operation, and the first water level difference is a set differential level to ensure safe system operation. For example, the first water level difference can be 5L. The first preset hot water level L21 is the maximum level of hot water in the thermal storage tank 6, and the second preset cold water level L22 is the minimum level of hot water in the thermal storage tank 6 to ensure system operation. The second water level difference is a set differential level to ensure safe system operation. For example, the second water level difference can be 5L. The specific values ​​of the first preset cold water level, the second preset cold water level, the first preset hot water level, the second preset hot water level, and the first water level difference and the second water level difference are not limited here and will be determined according to actual conditions.

[0083] In the above-mentioned operation control method of the heat pump energy storage system, after the heat pump energy storage system supplies cold water and hot water to the user, the water levels in the cold storage tank 5 and the heat storage tank 6 begin to drop. At this time, water can be replenished while supplying cold and hot water, making it convenient for users to use cold water and hot water. Specifically, in the following example, Figure 1 In the case where the first water supply pipe S11 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank 5 and the inlet of the fifth circulating water pump G5 respectively through the first precooling pipe S71, and the second water supply pipe S21 is connected to the hot water supply port of the heat storage tank 6 and the inlet of the sixth circulating water pump G6 respectively through the first preheating pipe S81, and the heat pump energy storage system is supplying cold water and hot water to the user, the operation control method includes:

[0084] If the water level in the cold storage tank is L C Less than or equal to the sum of the difference between the second preset cold water level L12 and the first water level, the water level L in the heat storage tank H When the temperature is less than or equal to the sum of the second preset hot water level L22 and the difference between the second water level and the second water level, and the water temperature T5 at the water supply main line is greater than the preset water supply temperature, the first water supply switch valve M11 is opened, the second water supply switch valve M21 is opened, the first switch component is opened, the second switch component is closed, the first circulating water pump G1 to the fifth circulating water pump G5 are started, and the sixth circulating water pump G6 is shut down; this process can make the pre-cooling circuit conductive, replenish the cold storage tank 5 with water through the pre-cooling circuit, and directly replenish the heat storage tank 6 with water through the first preheating pipe S81; the preset water supply temperature can be a temperature near which pre-cooling and preheating are not required during this replenishment process. If the water temperature at the water supply main line S0 is greater than the preset water supply temperature, it means that the inlet water temperature is high and the cold side energy is insufficient. It is necessary to pre-cool the water when replenishing the cold storage tank 5. If the water temperature in the cold storage tank 5 changes during the replenishment process, the cold water entering the pre-cooling circuit is pre-cooled after the cold water temperature reaches a certain change.

[0085] Next, the water temperature T6 at the inlet of the evaporator on the first heat source side and the water temperature T7 at the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank are obtained; based on the changes in the water temperature T6 at the inlet of the evaporator on the first heat source side and the water temperature T7 at the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank, it is determined whether the water to be supplied to the cold storage tank 5 needs to be pre-cooled;

[0086] Among them, if the water temperature T6 at the inlet of the first heat source side of the evaporator is greater than the difference between the preset cold water temperature and the second preset temperature difference, and the water temperature T7 at the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank is greater than the difference between the first preset target water temperature and the third preset temperature difference at the first port of the second heat exchange channel of the first heat exchanger 8, it means that during the water replenishment process, the heat pump module alone cannot make the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 reach the preset cold water temperature, and the cold water replenished into the cold storage tank 5 needs to be pre-cooled, then the preheating and precooling module is controlled to start pre-cooling the water in the pre-cooling circuit until the water temperature T8 at the first port of the second heat exchange channel is less than or equal to the difference between the actual water temperature T7 at the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank and the fourth preset temperature difference, then the pre-cooling and preheating module 7 can be turned off to stop pre-cooling, so that the heat pump energy storage system can replenish water for users while supplying cold water and hot water. During this process, if the water level L in the cold storage tank C When the water level in the heat storage tank is equal to the first preset cold water level L11, water replenishment to the cold storage tank 5 can be stopped. H When the water level reaches the first preset hot water level L21, water replenishment into the heat storage tank 6 can be stopped.

[0087] Among them, the above-mentioned preset make-up water temperature can be 15°C, the second preset temperature difference can be set to 5°C, the preset target water temperature can be set to 15°C, the third preset temperature difference can be set to 5°C, and the fourth preset temperature difference can be set to 5°C. The specific values ​​of the preset make-up water temperature, the preset cold water temperature, the second preset temperature difference, the first preset target water temperature, the third preset temperature difference and the fourth preset temperature difference are not limited here and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0088] like Figure 6 The figure shows the state diagram of the heat pump cold storage system supplying cooling and heating to users while replenishing water when the water temperature T5 at the main water replenishment line is greater than the preset water replenishment temperature. The arrows indicate the direction of water flow in the system. The dotted line indicates that the pipeline is not flowing, and the solid line indicates that the pipeline is flowing. Figure 6The specific process can be as follows: the first water supply switch valve M11 and the second water supply switch valve M21 are opened, and water is supplied in two ways, one way enters the first water supply pipeline, and the other way enters the second water supply pipeline; among them, the fifth circulating water pump G5 on the first precooling pipeline S71 is started and the first switch component is opened, and the water in the first water supply pipeline S11 passes through the first precooling pipeline S71, the second precooling pipeline S72 and the third precooling pipeline S73 and then supplies water to the cold storage tank 5. The second compressor 71 in the precooling and preheating module 7 is started and the circulating fan is started. The second heat exchanger 73 discharges heat through air circulation. After the refrigerant evaporates, the second compressor 71 works in a cycle and the reversing valve 72 is adjusted, so that the precooling and preheating module 7 precools the water entering the first heat exchanger 8, and supplies the precooled cold water into the second cold storage pipeline through the third precooling pipeline S73. S52, the first circulating water pump G1 delivers the pre-cooled cold water to the evaporator 4, the first compressor 1 starts and runs, the evaporator 4 circulates and cools the delivered cold water to the preset cold water temperature, and stores the cooled cold water in the cold storage tank 5 through the first cold storage pipe S51, and the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 is delivered to the cold place through the second circulating water pump G2 and the user's cooling pipe S31; at the same time, the water in the second water supply pipe S21 enters the heat storage tank 6 through the first preheating pipe S81 for water supply, and the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 is delivered to the condenser 2 through the third circulating water pump G3, and the condenser 2 circulates and heats the delivered hot water to the preset hot water temperature, and stores the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 through the first heat storage pipe S61, and the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 is delivered to the heating place through the fourth circulating water pump G4 and the user's heating pipe S41.

[0089] Specifically, in Figure 1 In the case where the first water supply pipeline S11 is connected to the cold water supply port of the cold storage tank 5 and the inlet of the fifth circulating water pump G5 through the first precooling pipeline S71, and the second water supply pipeline S21 is connected to the hot water supply port of the thermal storage tank 6 and the inlet of the sixth circulating water pump G6 through the first preheating pipeline S81, the heat pump energy storage system supplies cold water and hot water to the user. The specific steps of the operation control method also include:

[0090] If the water level in the cold storage tank is L C Less than or equal to the sum of the difference between the second preset cold water level L12 and the first water level, the water level L in the heat storage tank HIf the water temperature at the water supply main line S0 is lower than the preset water supply temperature, it means that the inlet water temperature is low and the energy on the hot side is insufficient. If the inlet water temperature is lower than the preset water supply temperature, it means that the inlet water temperature is low and the energy on the hot side is insufficient. It means that the water needs to be preheated when replenishing the heat storage tank 6. If the water temperature in the heat storage tank 6 changes during the replenishment process, the water entering the preheating circuit will be preheated after the hot water temperature reaches a certain level.

[0091] Next, the water temperature T9 at the inlet of the second cold source side of the condenser and the water temperature T11 at the hot water supply port of the thermal storage tank are obtained; based on the water temperature T9 at the inlet of the second cold source side of the condenser and the water temperature T11 at the hot water supply port of the thermal storage tank, it is determined whether the water added to the thermal storage tank 6 needs to be preheated;

[0092] Among them, if the water temperature T9 at the inlet of the second cold source side of the condenser is less than the difference between the preset hot water temperature and the fifth preset temperature difference, and the water temperature T11 at the hot water supply port of the heat storage tank is less than the difference between the second preset target water temperature at the second port of the second heat exchange channel of the first heat exchanger and the sixth preset temperature difference, it means that during the water replenishment process, the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 cannot be made to reach the preset hot water temperature by relying solely on the heat pump module, and the water replenished into the heat storage tank 6 needs to be preheated. Then the preheating and precooling module is controlled to start preheating the water in the second sub-circuit of the preheating circuit until the actual water temperature T10 at the second port of the second heat exchange channel is greater than or equal to the difference between the water temperature T11 at the hot water supply port of the heat storage tank and the seventh preset temperature difference. The preheating and precooling module 7 can be turned off to stop preheating, so that the heat pump energy storage system can supply cold water and hot water to the user while replenishing water. During this process, if the water level L in the cold storage tank is C When the water level in the heat storage tank is equal to the first preset cold water level L11, water replenishment to the cold storage tank 5 can be stopped. H When the water level reaches the first preset hot water level L21, water replenishment into the heat storage tank 6 can be stopped.

[0093] Among them, the above-mentioned fifth preset temperature difference can be 15°C, the sixth preset temperature difference can be 15°C, and the seventh preset temperature difference can be 5°C; the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned second preset target water temperature, the fifth preset temperature difference, the sixth preset temperature difference and the seventh preset temperature difference are not limited here and can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0094] like Figure 7The figure shows the state of the heat pump cold storage system supplying cooling and heating to users while replenishing water when the water temperature T5 at the main water replenishment line is lower than the preset water replenishment temperature. The arrows indicate the direction of water flow in the system. The dotted line indicates that the pipeline is not flowing, and the solid line indicates that the pipeline is flowing. The specific process is as follows: the first water replenishment switch valve M11 and the second water replenishment switch valve M21 are opened, and water is replenished in two ways, one way enters the first water replenishment pipeline S11, and the other way enters the second water replenishment pipeline S21; among them, the sixth circulation pump and the second switch component on the first preheating pipeline S81 are opened, and the water in the second water replenishment pipeline S21 passes through the first preheating pipeline S81, the second preheating pipeline S82 and the third preheating pipeline S83 and then enters the heat storage tank 6 for water replenishment, the second compressor 71 in the precooling and preheating module 7 is started, and the circulating fan 74 is started, and the second heat exchanger 73 absorbs heat through air circulation. After the refrigerant evaporates, the working cycle of the second compressor 71 and the reversing valve 72 are adjusted, so that the precooling preset module preheats the water entering the first heat exchanger 8, and replenishes the preheated hot water into the second heat storage pipeline through the third preheating pipeline S83 S62, the third circulating water pump G3 delivers the preheated hot water to the condenser 2, the first compressor 1 starts and runs, the condenser 2 circulates and heats the delivered hot water to the preset hot water temperature, and stores the heated hot water in the heat storage tank 6 through the first heat storage pipe S61, and the hot water in the heat storage tank 6 is delivered to the heat-using place through the fourth circulating water pump G4 and the user's heating pipe S41; at the same time, the water in the first water supply pipe S11 enters the cold storage tank 5 through the first pre-cooling pipe S71 for water replenishment, and the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 is delivered to the evaporator 4 through the first circulating water pump G1, and the evaporator 4 circulates and cools the delivered cold water to the preset cold water temperature, and stores the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 through the first cold storage pipe S51, and the cold water in the cold storage tank 5 is delivered to the cold-using place through the second circulating water pump G2 and the user's cooling pipe S31.

[0095] In the operation control method of the above-mentioned heat pump energy storage system, when a constant pressure water make-up device 9 is provided on the water make-up main line S0, the constant pressure water make-up device 9 is opened during water make-up. The constant pressure water make-up device 9 can stabilize the water make-up pressure. Opening the constant pressure water make-up device 9 during water make-up is beneficial to cold and heat storage.
