[0038] The processing module is used to obtain the heating strategy sent by the cloud module and send a control signal to the heating module according to the heating strategy;

[0039] The heating module is used to heat the graphite in the graphite heat storage module using off-peak electricity according to the control signal;

[0040] The processing module is also used to control the graphite thermal storage module to perform heat exchange according to the heating strategy.

[0041] Furthermore, the intelligent heating system also includes a solar module and a battery.

[0043] The heating module is used to heat the graphite in the graphite heat storage module using off-peak electricity and battery power according to the control signal.

[0044] Specifically, the heating strategy includes a total output power, which refers to the total output power of the heating system to the heating network.

[0045] For a preset period of time, the cloud module is used to determine whether the total output power is satisfied by the total input power of off-peak electricity during the preset period:

[0046] If so, calculate the heating time for the graphite to be heated by off-peak electricity;

[0047] Otherwise, the graphite is heated using all off-peak electricity within a preset time period, and the heating time for heating the graphite using normal electricity is calculated.

[0048] The heating strategy includes heating the graphite for a duration using off-peak electricity and normal electricity.
