[0037] Specifically, the embodiment comprehensively investigates the building electricity consumption and water consumption, establishes a target building geometric model, and constructs a gravity energy storage water linkage system, a low-energy coupling heating and air conditioning system, a coupling pipeline, and a control module of the water and electricity supply system based on gravity energy storage. The overall layout of the water and electricity supply system is preset, the parameters are determined, the equipment is selected, and finally a complete water and electricity supply system is established. The specific process is as follows:

[0038] Investigate the background of the target building. The target building is a hospital complex building. The first to third floors are outpatient and emergency departments, the fourth floor is a medical technology department, the fifth to fifteenth floors are inpatient departments, and the building area is 2.4*10 4 m 2 , located in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, with 100,000 outpatient visits and 8,000 inpatients per year; due to the particularity of the hospital, the water quality is required, the total average water consumption is 28.89t, and the comprehensive evaluation obtains the total power of building air conditioning energy consumption 1680KW-2300KW.

[0039] The hospital model is drawn by using Sketch Up and other software. The linkage mode of the lifting control support and the small gravity turbine is determined based on the building type, the climate zone, the energy demand, the energy consumption mode, and the behavior influencing factors. The volume and quantity of the energy storage water tank are set based on the building electricity consumption and water consumption behavior;

[0040] Considering the building construction features and different room use requirements, the gravity energy storage water storage linkage system stores the excess water in the energy storage water tank on the roof when the hospital is in the low electricity and water consumption period.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The water network system is coupled to the original building water supply and drainage pipeline, and the water and electricity supply system is connected to realize intelligent control of the energy storage system on the water and electricity supply. In the energy storage mode, the excess water is stored in the energy storage water tank on the roof to realize water storage and energy storage. When it is in the daytime, it is in the normal operation mode, and the peak shaving and valley filling effect is played to ensure that the basic water and electricity supply can control and continue to use the water and electricity supply system to store excess resources and realize building energy saving and emission reduction requirements. When there is an emergency situation of water stop or power failure, it immediately switches to emergency operation mode, coordinates multiple energy storage water tanks, and uses the gravity potential energy of some of the energy storage water tanks to generate electricity to ensure emergency power supply. The remaining energy storage water tanks are connected to the original building water supply and drainage pipeline through the coupling pipeline to ensure emergency water supply.

[0042] A complete water and electricity supply framework of the water and electricity supply system applied to the hospital building is established, and 60 sets of water and electricity supply systems are expected to be set. The gravity energy storage water storage linkage system can simultaneously realize lifting and lowering multiple energy storage water tanks; the gravity energy storage water storage linkage system arranged in advance stores water resources as stored energy, and the stored water is stored in the energy storage water tank on the top floor of the building; when there is a power generation demand, the lifting and lowering control bracket drives the descending energy storage water tank to transfer the gravity potential energy of the water, which is converted into stable electric energy to meet the building electricity demand; the energy storage water tank descends while the small gravity wheel machine moves, which can control the working speed to realize stable supply of electric energy; the stored water flowing out of the descending energy storage water tank can be supplied according to the requirements of each room and department of the building.

[0043] For such a large building as a hospital, most of the original building water supply and low-energy coupled heating, ventilation and air conditioning system pipelines are arranged underground, and the energy storage water tanks of the water and electricity supply system are arranged on the roof. The stored water resources for emergency water supply in the hospital have two uses after being transported to the hospital building: as ordinary domestic water for toilets and wash basins in the hospital building and as pure water or softened water for special rooms such as operating rooms, hemodialysis, central supply, and oral surgery department in the hospital. Special requirements such as reverse osmosis + nuclear grade mixed bed process should be used to process the gravity potential energy-free water resources transported to the hospital building before they are used as corresponding special water supply. At the same time, the stored water released by the water and electricity supply system can also be used as water supply to the air conditioner main machine of the low-energy coupled heating, ventilation and air conditioning system after being softened, and the supply of cold and hot water can be realized by combining with renewable energy sources such as solar energy, realizing the comprehensive utilization and regulation of water sources, gravity potential energy, and renewable energy sources such as solar energy. Multiple utilization methods of stored water help the hospital building to realize resource conservation and emission reduction requirements.

[0044] Specifically, the reserve water in the energy storage water tank can be used as living water in emergency, the high and low level difference energy storage of cold and heat sources is utilized, the water resource without gravity potential energy transported to the building in the power shortage condition and the power supply process is purified in time, so that the water quality meets the ''Drinking Water Health Standards GB5749-2022'' and other special demand standards, and the water resource is prevented from being polluted in the pipeline transportation process and affecting human health.

[0045] The water and electricity supply results of the complete hospital building water and electricity supply system are calculated, and are compared with the actual target building overall energy consumption values: 2760KW obtained by multiplying the target building demand power 2300KW by the expansion coefficient 1.2 is taken as the demand target quantity, 60 sets of water and electricity supply systems are operated, the total water storage capacity of the system reaches 25-30t, the energy storage power range is 1728-2592KW at the power peak, and theoretically, the energy consumption needs of the hospital air conditioner daily power consumption are met, and the basic water and electricity demand for one day can be met in the emergency condition of water and electricity stop.

[0046] The present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above description of specific embodiments is intended to describe and illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims, those skilled in the art can make many forms of specific changes under the inspiration of the present application, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
