Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an energy supply system, and more particularly to an ordered energy supply system that couples photovoltaic and geothermal energy. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, building energy supply includes electricity and heat. Approximately 65% of electricity is supplied by coal-fired power plants, while almost all heat is supplied by coal-fired boilers. Increasing the proportion of renewable energy in buildings is a pressing issue for energy scientists. Solar photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies can reduce the temperature of photovoltaic cells and improve power generation efficiency, while also recovering and utilizing heat energy, thus significantly improving the overall utilization rate of solar energy. However, solar energy is greatly affected by weather, resulting in low energy security. Furthermore, in summer, there is nowhere to dissipate the collected solar heat, inevitably leading to energy waste. Traditional ground source heat pumps can provide heating in winter and cooling in summer. However, when the winter heat load and summer cooling load differ significantly, after years of operation, the ground temperature near the buried pipes often changes, eventually making the system difficult to operate. If a photovoltaic and solar thermal system is coupled with geothermal energy, through creative system integration, it can guarantee the provision of clean heat and electricity year-round. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Working principle of the invention:
[0018] Operating Condition 1: During winter, with sufficient sunlight, photovoltaic thermal energy is adequate to meet heating needs. The solar irradiance sensor detects sunlight, and the controller activates the first water pump. Under the action of the first pump, 7°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger through the first pipeline. After exchanging heat with the soil, the temperature rises to approximately 10°C. The controller then opens the first throttle valve, allowing the 10°C low-temperature water passing through the first pipeline to carry away the heat generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector. The water temperature rises to 20°C and enters the first water tank. At this time, the heat pump circulation mode is activated on the third pipeline. The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger in the second water tank. In the second heat exchanger, the high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve and returns to the first heat exchanger in the first water tank to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When there is a heating requirement, the fourth temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the second water tank has reached about 55℃, and then the water flows out through the fourth pipeline and is used to heat the room via the fan coil unit. After heating is completed, the water temperature drops to around 30℃, and is then guided back to the second water tank by the third water pump to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first water tank has dropped to around 7℃. The cooled water then passes through the second pipe between the first water tank and the geothermal coil heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the soil, raising its temperature to 10℃. It is then guided back into the first pipe by the first water pump to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the second water pump to draw water from the first makeup water tank to replenish it. When the fan coil heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the fourth water pump to draw water from the second makeup water tank to replenish it.
[0019] Scenario 2: During winter, sunlight is available, but photovoltaic heat is insufficient to meet heating demands. The solar irradiance sensor detects sunlight, and the controller activates the first water pump. Under the action of the first pump, 7°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger through the first pipe, exchanging heat with the soil to raise its temperature to approximately 10°C. The first throttle valve opens, allowing the low-temperature water passing through the first pipe to carry away the heat generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector, raising the water temperature. The water then flows through the first pipe into the first water tank. At this point, if the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first water tank has not reached the preset value of 20°C, the battery supplies power to the heater to supplement the heat in the first water tank, raising the water temperature to the preset value of 20°C. At this time, the heat pump circulation mode is activated on the third pipeline. The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger in the second water tank. In the second heat exchanger, the high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve and returns to the first heat exchanger in the first water tank to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When there is a heating requirement, the fourth temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the second water tank has reached about 55℃, and then the water flows out through the fourth pipeline and is used to heat the room via the fan coil unit. After heating is completed, the water temperature drops to around 30℃, and is then guided back to the second water tank by the third water pump to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first water tank has dropped to around 7℃. The cooled water then passes through the second pipe between the first water tank and the geothermal coil heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the soil, raising its temperature to 10℃. It is then guided back into the first pipe by the first water pump to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the second water pump to draw water from the first makeup water tank to replenish it. When the fan coil heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the fourth water pump to draw water from the second makeup water tank to replenish it.
[0020] Operating Condition 3: Winter without sunlight. Under the action of the first water pump, 5°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger through the first pipeline. After heat exchange with the earth, the temperature rises to approximately 10°C. The solar radiation sensor does not detect solar radiation, and the controller instructs the first throttle valve to close and the second throttle valve to open. The 10°C water then enters the first water tank through the bypass pipe. When the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first water tank has not reached the preset value of 20°C, the battery supplies power to the heater to supplement the heat in the first water tank. If the temperature still does not meet the requirement, power is supplied from the mains line via a bidirectional electricity meter and an AC / DC bidirectional inverter to the heater to heat the water in the first water tank to the preset value of 20°C. At this time, the heat pump circulation mode is activated on the third pipeline. The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger in the second water tank. In the second heat exchanger, the high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve and returns to the first heat exchanger in the first water tank to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When there is a heating requirement, the fourth temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the second water tank has reached about 55℃, and then the water flows out through the fourth pipeline and is used to heat the room via the fan coil unit. After heating is completed, the water temperature drops to around 30℃, and is then guided back to the second water tank by the third water pump to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first water tank has dropped to around 7℃. The cooled water then passes through the second pipe between the first water tank and the geothermal coil heat exchanger, where it exchanges heat with the soil, raising its temperature to 10℃. It is then guided back into the first pipe by the first water pump to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the second water pump to draw water from the first makeup water tank to replenish it. When the fan coil heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor detects that the pressure is below the set value, and the controller starts the fourth water pump to draw water from the second makeup water tank to replenish it.
[0021] Operating Condition 4: Summer Condition. When the solar irradiance sensor detects sunlight, the controller activates the first water pump. Under the action of the first pump, 40°C warm water from the first water tank enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger through the first pipe. After exchanging heat with the earth, the temperature drops to approximately 10°C. The water then enters the photovoltaic thermal collector unit through the first pipe to absorb heat. At this point, the temperature rises to 30°C, reaching the preset temperature. If the second temperature sensor detects that the water temperature in the first pipe between the photovoltaic thermal collector unit and the first water tank is higher than the preset value of 30°C, the controller immediately reduces the flow rate of the first throttle valve and increases the flow rate of the second throttle valve to lower the water temperature in the first pipe between the photovoltaic thermal collector unit and the first water tank to below or equal to the preset value of 30°C. At this point, the refrigeration cycle mode is activated on the third pipeline. The high-pressure gaseous working fluid in the first heat exchanger releases heat to the water in the first water tank, completing the condensation process. The condensed high-pressure liquid working fluid, after being throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve, becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid and enters the second heat exchanger in the second water tank. In the second heat exchanger, the low-pressure liquid working fluid absorbs heat from the water in the second water tank and completes the evaporation process. The low-pressure gaseous working fluid that has completed the evaporation process in the second heat exchanger is then pressurized by the compressor, becoming a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, and returns to the first heat exchanger in the first water tank to continue condensing and generating heat. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger is 60℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger is 5℃, the water temperature in the first water tank rises from 30℃ to 40℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank drops from 20℃ to 7℃. Once the fourth temperature sensor detects that the 7℃ refrigerant water in the second water tank has reached the required temperature, it flows out through the fourth pipeline and cools the indoor air via the fan coil unit. After the indoor cooling process is complete, the water temperature rises back to 20°C and returns to the second water tank to begin the next cycle. Simultaneously, water from the first water tank enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger via the second pipe. The 40°C high-temperature water transfers heat to the soil for storage, and the water temperature rapidly drops to 10°C, entering the next cycle. When the first pressure sensor detects a water shortage inside the photovoltaic thermal collector system, the controller activates the second water pump to replenish water from the first water supply tank. When the second pressure sensor detects a water shortage inside the fan coil unit 34 water supply system, the controller activates the fourth water pump to replenish water from the second water supply tank.
[0022] The energy storage and power supply unit is connected to the municipal power grid to fully utilize and mobilize the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic and solar thermal collectors. When local thermal and solar energy supply is sufficient to meet indoor heating needs, the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic and solar thermal collectors is stored in the battery via the MPPT controller. When the water temperature in the first water tank of the system does not reach the preset temperature of 20°C, the battery directly supplies power to the heater in the first water tank to supplement heating and meet system requirements. Alternatively, it can be converted to 220V AC power through an AC / DC bidirectional inverter to power the electrical equipment in the system. Excess electricity can be used as indoor electrical load power or connected to the municipal power grid through a bidirectional electricity meter. When the system's power supply is insufficient, the bidirectional electricity meter can also draw on the electrical energy in the municipal power grid for system use.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0024] This invention provides a photovoltaic-thermal and geothermal coupled orderly energy supply system. While utilizing photovoltaic heat for heating, the system uses electricity generated from sunlight to drive heat pumps and valves. Geothermal energy supplements the system's heat supply, and the generated heat and electricity are stored and distributed in an orderly manner. Excess electricity is stored in a battery and then fed into the mains power grid via an AC / DC bidirectional inverter. This electricity is used for auxiliary heating when the system's heating is insufficient, and can also be used to supplement the system's heating when necessary, maximizing the use of solar-generated heat and electricity for heating. Geothermal energy serves as a reliable heat storage and exchange device, supplementing the system's heat source when it is insufficient, storing excess heat when the system's heat source is sufficient, and also exchanging heat effectively with the system during summer cooling needs. By fully utilizing both solar and geothermal energy—two clean energy sources—this system significantly reduces carbon emissions from daily heating and effectively solves the problem of unstable heat sources when relying solely on solar heating, thus possessing broad application prospects.

[0046] Working principle of the invention:
[0047] Operating Condition 1: During winter, sunlight is available, and photovoltaic thermal energy is sufficient to meet heating needs. Solar irradiance sensor 20 detects sunlight, and controller 6 activates the first water pump 17. Under the action of the first water pump 17, 7°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2 through the first pipe 7, and after exchanging heat with the soil, its temperature rises to approximately 10°C. Controller 6 controls the first throttle valve 18 to open, allowing the 10°C low-temperature water passing through the first pipe 7 to carry away the heat generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1, raising the water temperature to 20°C before entering the first water tank 3.

The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank 3 to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor 28 and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger 11 in the second water tank 4. The high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank 4 in the second heat exchanger 11 to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve 27 and returns to the first heat exchanger 10 in the first water tank 3 to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger 11 is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank 3 drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank 4 rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When heating is required, the fourth temperature sensor 32 detects that the water temperature in the second water tank 4 has reached approximately 55°C. The water then flows out through the fourth pipe 33 and passes through the fan coil unit 34 to heat the room. After heating is complete, the water temperature drops to approximately 30°C and is then guided back to the second water tank 4 by the third water pump 35 to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor 26 detects that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 has dropped to approximately 7°C. The cooled water flows through the second pipe 8 between the first water tank 3 and the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, and then exchanges heat with the soil through the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, raising the water temperature to 10°C. It is then guided by the first water pump 17 into the first pipe 7 to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor 31 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the second water pump 30 to draw water from the first water supply tank 29 to replenish water; when the fan coil unit 34 heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor 38 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the fourth water pump 37 to draw water from the second water supply tank 36 to replenish water.
[0048] Scenario 2: In winter, there is sunlight, but the photovoltaic heat is insufficient to meet the heating demand. Solar irradiance sensor 20 detects sunlight, and controller 6 starts the first water pump 17. Under the action of the first water pump 17, 7°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2 through the first pipe 7, and after exchanging heat with the soil, its temperature rises to about 10°C. The first throttle valve 18 opens, and the low-temperature water passing through the first pipe 7 carries away the heat generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector 1, causing the water temperature to rise. It then enters the first water tank 3 through the first pipe 7. At this time, when the third temperature sensor 26 detects that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 has not reached the preset value of 20°C, the battery 5 supplies power to the heater 9 to supplement the heat in the first water tank 3, so that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 reaches the preset value of 20°C. At this time, the heat pump circulation mode is started on the third pipeline 12. The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank 3 to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor 28 and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger 11 in the second water tank 4. The high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank 4 in the second heat exchanger 11 to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve 27 and returns to the first heat exchanger 10 in the first water tank 3 to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger 11 is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank 3 drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank 4 rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When heating is required, the fourth temperature sensor 32 detects that the water temperature in the second water tank 4 has reached approximately 55°C. The water then flows out through the fourth pipe 33 and passes through the fan coil unit 34 to heat the room. After heating is complete, the water temperature drops to approximately 30°C and is then guided back to the second water tank 4 by the third water pump 35 to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor 26 detects that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 has dropped to approximately 7°C. The cooled water flows through the second pipe 8 between the first water tank 3 and the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, and then exchanges heat with the soil through the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, raising the water temperature to 10°C. It is then guided by the first water pump 17 into the first pipe 7 to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor 31 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the second water pump 30 to draw water from the first water supply tank 29 to replenish water; when the fan coil unit 34 heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor 38 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the fourth water pump 37 to draw water from the second water supply tank 36 to replenish water.
[0049] Operating Condition 3: Winter without sunlight. Under the action of the first water pump 17, 5°C low-temperature water enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2 through the first pipe 7. After heat exchange with the earth, the temperature rises to approximately 10°C. The solar radiation sensor 20 does not detect solar radiation, and the controller 6 instructs the first throttle valve 18 to close and the second throttle valve 23 to open. The 10°C water then enters the first water tank 3 through the bypass pipe 22. When the third temperature sensor 26 detects that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 has not reached the preset value of 20°C, the battery 5 supplies power to the heater 9 to supplement the heat in the first water tank 3. If the requirement is still not met, the mains power line 14, through the bidirectional electricity meter 16 and the AC / DC bidirectional inverter 15, supplies power to the heater 9 to heat the water, bringing the water temperature in the first water tank 3 to the preset value of 20°C. At this time, the heat pump circulation mode is started on the third pipeline 12. The low-temperature liquid working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 absorbs heat from the water in the first water tank 3 to complete the evaporation process. After evaporation and heat absorption, the low-pressure gaseous working fluid is pressurized by the compressor 28 and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger 11 in the second water tank 4. The high-pressure gaseous working fluid releases heat to the water in the second water tank 4 in the second heat exchanger 11 to complete condensation and liquefaction. After condensation and liquefaction, the high-pressure liquid working fluid becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid after passing through the expansion throttle valve 27 and returns to the first heat exchanger 10 in the first water tank 3 to continue evaporation and heat absorption. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 is 5℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger 11 is 60℃, the water temperature in the first water tank 3 drops from 20℃ to 7℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank 4 rises from 30℃ to 55℃. When heating is required, the fourth temperature sensor 32 detects that the water temperature in the second water tank 4 has reached approximately 55°C. The water then flows out through the fourth pipe 33 and passes through the fan coil unit 34 to heat the room. After heating is complete, the water temperature drops to approximately 30°C and is then guided back to the second water tank 4 by the third water pump 35 to enter the next cycle. Simultaneously, the third temperature sensor 26 detects that the water temperature in the first water tank 3 has dropped to approximately 7°C. The cooled water flows through the second pipe 8 between the first water tank 3 and the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, and then exchanges heat with the soil through the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2, raising the water temperature to 10°C. It is then guided by the first water pump 17 into the first pipe 7 to enter the next cycle. When the photovoltaic thermal system is short of water, the first pressure sensor 31 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the second water pump 30 to draw water from the first water supply tank 29 to replenish water; when the fan coil unit 34 heating system is short of water, the second pressure sensor 38 detects that the pressure is lower than the set value, and the controller 6 starts the fourth water pump 37 to draw water from the second water supply tank 36 to replenish water.
[0050] Operating Condition 4: Summer Condition. When solar irradiance sensor 20 detects sunlight, controller 6 activates the first water pump 17. Under the action of the first water pump 17, 40°C warm water from the first water tank 3 enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2 through the first pipe 7. After exchanging heat with the earth, the temperature drops to approximately 10°C. The water then enters the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1 through the first pipe 7 to absorb heat. At this point, the temperature rises to 30°C, reaching the preset temperature. When the second temperature sensor 25 detects that the water temperature in the first pipe 7 between the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1 and the first water tank 3 is higher than the preset value of 30°C, controller 6 immediately reduces the flow rate of the first throttle valve 18 and increases the flow rate of the second throttle valve 23 to lower the water temperature in the first pipe 7 between the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1 and the first water tank 3 to below or equal to the preset value of 30°C. At this time, the refrigeration cycle mode is started on the third pipeline 12. The high-pressure gaseous working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 releases heat to the water in the first water tank 3 to complete the condensation process. After condensation, the high-pressure liquid working fluid is throttled and depressurized by the expansion valve 27 and becomes a low-pressure liquid working fluid, which enters the second heat exchanger 11 in the second water tank 4. The low-pressure liquid working fluid absorbs heat from the water in the second water tank 4 in the second heat exchanger 11 and completes the evaporation process. The low-pressure gaseous working fluid that has completed the evaporation process in the second heat exchanger 11 is pressurized by the compressor 28 and becomes a high-pressure gaseous working fluid, which returns to the first heat exchanger 10 in the first water tank 3 to continue to complete the condensation and heating process. Under this condition, the temperature of the working fluid in the first heat exchanger 10 is 60℃, the temperature of the working fluid in the second heat exchanger 11 is 5℃, the water temperature in the first water tank 3 rises from 30℃ to 40℃, and the water temperature in the second water tank 4 drops from 20℃ to 7℃. After the fourth temperature sensor 32 detects that the 7°C cooling water in the second water tank 4 has reached the required temperature, it flows out through the fourth pipe 33 and cools the indoor air via the fan coil unit 34. After cooling the indoor air, the water temperature rises back to 20°C and returns to the second water tank 4 to enter the next cycle. At the same time, water from the first water tank 3 enters the geothermal coil heat exchanger 2 through the second pipe 8. The 40°C high-temperature water transfers heat to the soil for storage, and the water temperature quickly drops to 10°C, entering the next cycle. After the first pressure sensor 31 detects a water shortage inside the photovoltaic thermal collector system, the controller 6 starts the second water pump 30 to draw water from the first makeup water tank 29 to replenish water; after the second pressure sensor 38 detects a water shortage inside the fan coil unit 34 water supply system, the controller 6 starts the fourth water pump 37 to draw water from the second makeup water tank 36 to replenish water.
[0051] The energy storage and power supply unit is connected to the mains power line 14 network to fully utilize and mobilize the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1. When local thermal and solar energy supply is sufficient to meet indoor heating needs, the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic thermal collector unit 1 is stored in the battery 5 via the MPPT controller 24. When the water temperature in the first water tank 3 of the system does not reach the preset temperature of 20°C, the battery 5 directly supplies power to the heater 9 in the first water tank 3 to supplement the heating and meet the system requirements. Alternatively, it can be converted to 220V AC power by the AC / DC bidirectional inverter 15 and connected to the system to power the electrical equipment in the system. Excess power can be used as indoor electrical load 39, or connected to the mains power line 14 network via the bidirectional electricity meter 16. When the power supply in the system is insufficient, the electricity in the mains power line 14 can also be drawn from the bidirectional electricity meter 16 for the system.
