[0025] 2) when the user needs multiple forms of cooling and does not need electrical load and heat load demand at the same time, at this time, the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 need to be closed at the same time, respectively flowing into the passageways of the second-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-2 and the first-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-1, and the multi-temperature-zone heating system is not started; when in the high-temperature season, both the refrigeration and freezing loads are needed, the passageways of the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 flowing through the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 26 and the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 24 are opened, the low-temperature cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant loop, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced, and the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant loop, which can be used for the freezing working condition; when in the non-high-temperature season, only the freezing working condition is needed, at this time, the passageway of the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 flowing through the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 26 is closed, the passageway of the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 flowing through the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 24 is opened, the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant loop, the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced, and through the adjustment of the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25, the control of the freezing temperature can also be realized;

[0026] 3) When the user needs multiple forms of heating and cooling at the same time, but there is no electrical load demand, the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 13, the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 19 and the low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 20 need to be closed to flow into the passageways of the first-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-1, the second-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-2 and the third-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-3 respectively, and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 need to be closed to flow into the passageways of the second-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-2 and the first-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-1 respectively, and the rest can be operated according to the combination of the schemes of 1) and 2);

[0027] 4) When the user has a cold heat and electrical load demand at the same time; the system first meets the electrical load demand, adjusts the power generation capacity by adjusting the flow of the working medium through the flow regulating valve 12, and at the same time, adjusts the flow distribution of the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 13, the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 19, the low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 20, the ultralow-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 in the multi-stage heat storage system and the multi-stage cold storage system for the flow distribution of the heat storage and cold storage medium for heating and power generation, cold and power generation, so that the working medium of the heat engine cycle is in the normal working temperature range; secondly, the heat load demand is met, and finally the cold load demand is considered.

[0040] The multi-temperature zone heating system includes two-stage heating: an industrial circuit heating system and a residential heating circuit. In the industrial heating circuit, low-temperature heating steam from the low-temperature steam pipeline 28 is sequentially connected to the steam pump 15, the low-temperature heating steam branch valve 16, and the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17. Then, it is split into two paths via the hot-side steam three-way valve 18: one path returns directly to the medium-temperature steam heating circuit 29, and the other path passes through the high-temperature steam heat exchanger 14 and connects to the high-temperature steam heating circuit 30. The heat from the hot-side high-temperature storage tank 5a is transferred to the high-temperature steam heat exchanger 14 via the #2 high-temperature storage medium pump 5d and the high-temperature storage medium three-way valve 13. The storage medium at the outlet of the high-temperature steam heat exchanger 14 returns to the cold-side high-temperature storage tank 5b, repeating this process. The heat from the medium-temperature thermal storage tank 6a is transferred to the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17 via the No. 2 medium-temperature thermal storage medium pump 6d and the medium-temperature thermal storage medium three-way valve 19. The thermal storage medium at the outlet of the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17 returns to the cold-side medium-temperature thermal storage tank 6b, and this process is repeated. In the heating circuit, the low-temperature return water from the heating return water pipeline 31 flows through the water pump 22, hot water valve 23, and low-temperature return water on the heating return water branch, and then through the hot water heat exchanger 21, finally returning to the hot water supply pipeline 32. The heat from the hot-side low-temperature thermal storage tank 7a is transferred to the low-temperature return water via the No. 2 low-temperature thermal storage medium pump 7d and the low-temperature thermal storage medium three-way valve 20, and then through the hot water heat exchanger 21. The thermal storage medium at the outlet of the hot water heat exchanger 21 returns to the cold-side low-temperature thermal storage tank 7b, and this process is repeated.

[0041] The multi-temperature zone cooling system includes two-stage cooling: a low-temperature cooling circuit and an ultra-low-temperature cooling circuit. In the low-temperature cooling circuit, the cold storage medium from the cold-side low-temperature storage tank 9b flows sequentially through the No. 4 cold storage medium pump 9d and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27. Part of the cold storage medium enters the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 26 for external cooling and finally returns to the hot-side low-temperature cold storage tank 9a, repeating this process. In the ultra-low-temperature cooling circuit, the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium from the cold-side ultra-low-temperature storage tank 8b flows sequentially through the No. 2 cold storage medium pump 8d and the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25. Part of the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium enters the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 24 for external cooling and finally returns to the hot-side ultra-low-temperature cold storage tank 8a, repeating this process.

[0042] Furthermore, the multi-temperature zone thermal storage system adopts a three-stage arrangement. The hot-side high-temperature thermal storage tank 5a and the cold-side high-temperature thermal storage tank 5b use binary solar salt as the high-temperature thermal storage medium, with an operating temperature range of 300–500℃. The hot-side medium-temperature thermal storage tank 6a and the cold-side medium-temperature thermal storage tank 6b use heat transfer oil as the medium-temperature thermal storage medium, with an operating temperature range of 100–350℃. The hot-side low-temperature thermal storage tank 7a and the cold-side low-temperature thermal storage tank 7b use atmospheric pressure water as the low-temperature thermal storage medium, with an operating temperature range of 20–105℃. In this way, the Carnot battery energy storage system can fully utilize the temperature ranges of different thermal storage media, maximizing the thermal storage temperature and thus improving system efficiency.

[0043] Furthermore, the multi-temperature zone cold storage system adopts a two-stage arrangement. The hot-side cryogenic cold storage tank 9a and the cold-side cryogenic cold storage tank 9b use heptane, an organic compound, as the cryogenic cold storage medium, with an operating temperature range of -20 to 25°C. The hot-side ultra-low temperature cold storage tank 8a and the cold-side ultra-low temperature cold storage tank 8b use propane, an organic compound, as the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium, with an operating temperature range of -60 to -20°C. In this way, the Carnot battery energy storage system can minimize the cold storage temperature, thereby improving system efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the working fluid for both the heat pump cycle and the heat engine cycle is argon gas, and the cycle type is Brayton cycle. The operating temperature can reach a maximum of 550℃ and a minimum of -90℃. This ensures temperature matching between the circulating working fluid and the heat storage medium and cold storage medium, reduces irreversible losses, and improves heat exchanger efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, the heat pump electric compressor 1 is a centrifugal compressor, and the heat pump expander generator 3 is an axial-flow expander. The heat pump electric compressor 1 and the heat pump expander generator 3 are coaxially connected. The working fluid flowing through the heat pump expander generator 3 can recover some work, reducing energy consumption. The heat engine expander generator 10 of the heat engine cycle is an axial-flow expander, and the heat engine compressor 11 is a centrifugal compressor. The heat engine expander generator 10 and the heat engine compressor 11 are coaxially connected, eliminating the need for a separate motor to drive the heat engine compressor 11. This ensures that the heat pump cycle directly obtains net input electrical energy, and the heat engine cycle directly outputs net output electrical energy, reducing frequency interference between different axes.

[0046] Furthermore, the first-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-1, the second-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-2, the third-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-3, the first-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-1, and the second-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-2 all adopt shell-and-tube heat exchangers; the high-temperature steam heat exchanger 14, the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17, the hot water heat exchanger 21, the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 24, and the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 26 all adopt plate-fin heat exchangers; temperature and pressure sensors are installed at the inlet and outlet of all the above heat exchangers to detect and control the temperature and pressure, ensuring that each heat storage medium and cold storage medium operates in its corresponding temperature range. This ensures that the footprint is minimized and maintenance is convenient.

[0047] An operation method for a Carnot battery energy storage system integrating multi-temperature zones with combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP), characterized in that:

[0048] 1) When the user is in a low electricity consumption period, the heat pump cycle energy storage system is started. The electrical energy is input into the heat pump electric compressor 1 to pressurize the working fluid, thereby obtaining a high temperature and high pressure working fluid. Then the working fluid enters the first-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-1, the second-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-2, and the third-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-3 to release heat in sequence. The heat from multiple stages is stored in the high temperature cold storage tank, the medium temperature cold storage tank, and the low temperature heat storage tank, respectively. Then it flows through the heat pump expansion generator 3 to expand and do work and generate electricity. Finally, the working fluid enters the first-stage low temperature heat exchanger 4-1 and the second-stage low temperature heat exchanger 4-2 to absorb heat, and the cold energy from multiple stages is stored in the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank and the low temperature cold storage tank, respectively, realizing the conversion and storage of electrical energy into heat energy.

[0049] 2) When users are in peak electricity demand, the heat engine cycle power generation system is started. The flow rate of the working fluid is regulated by the flow regulating valve 12. The working fluid first flows through the heat engine compressor 11 and is compressed. Then, it absorbs heat from the low temperature cold storage tank, the medium temperature cold storage tank, and the high temperature heat storage tank in the third-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-3, the second-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-2, and the first-stage high temperature heat exchanger 2-1 to obtain a high temperature and high pressure working fluid. Then, the high temperature and high pressure working fluid enters the heat engine expansion generator 10 to expand and do work and generate electricity. Then, the working fluid enters the second-stage low temperature heat exchanger 4-2 and the first-stage low temperature heat exchanger 4-1 to absorb the cold energy of the low temperature cold storage tank and the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank. Finally, it enters the heat engine compressor 11 again to realize the output of electrical energy and meet the user's electricity load demand.

[0050] 3) When users require heating, the multi-temperature zone heating system is activated: When there is an industrial heating demand for high-temperature steam, low-temperature heating steam is introduced from the low-temperature steam pipeline 28. At this time, the low-temperature heating steam branch valve 16 and the steam pump 15 are opened. The low-temperature heating steam flows sequentially through the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17, the hot-side steam three-way valve 18, and the high-temperature steam heat exchanger 14. It is heated to approximately 300-400°C by the medium-temperature and high-temperature heat storage media in the multi-temperature zone heat storage system, and then supplied with high-temperature steam through the high-temperature steam heating circuit 30. When there is an industrial heating demand for medium-temperature steam, In the low-temperature steam and multi-temperature zone thermal storage system, the medium-temperature thermal storage medium exchanges heat in the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger 17 and is heated to about 150-250°C. After passing through the hot-side steam three-way valve 18, it is directly returned to the medium-temperature steam heating circuit 29 to provide medium-temperature steam. When there is a heating demand, the low-temperature return water is introduced through the heating return water pipeline 31. At this time, the water pump 22 and hot water valve 23 on the heating return water branch are opened. The low-temperature return water flows through the hot water heat exchanger 21 and exchanges heat with the low-temperature thermal storage medium of the multi-temperature zone thermal storage system to be heated to about 80-90°C. It is then returned to the heated hot water through the hot water supply pipeline 32.

[0051] 4) When users require cooling, the multi-temperature zone cooling system is activated. There are two common cooling load requirements: one is a freezing load of -30℃ to -5℃, and the other is a refrigeration load of 0 to 20℃. When there is a refrigeration load requirement, the No. 4 cold storage medium pump 9d and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 are opened in the low-temperature cold storage tank circuit. The cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 26, and the refrigerant temperature decreases, thereby meeting the refrigeration load requirement. When there is a refrigeration load requirement, the No. 2 cold storage medium pump 8d and the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 are opened in the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank circuit. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium in the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger 24, and releases cooling capacity when it reaches the user side, thereby meeting the refrigeration load requirement.

[0052] Furthermore, 1) When users simultaneously require multiple forms of heating and do not require electrical or cooling loads, the three-way valves 13 (high-temperature heat storage medium), 19 (medium-temperature heat storage medium), and 20 (low-temperature heat storage medium) must be closed simultaneously, allowing the heat to flow into the first-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-1, the second-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-2, and the third-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-3 respectively. The multi-temperature zone cooling system should not be activated. The main considerations are industrial heat load and heating heat load. Industrial heat load is a year-round load with minimal variation throughout the year, while heating heat load is a seasonal load, with actual demand only during the heating season and significant variations. During the heating season, the low-temperature steam circuit and the low-temperature heating steam branch on the heating return water branch... With valve 16, hot water valve 23, steam pump 15, and water pump 22 all open, the heating return water exchanges heat with the low-temperature heat storage medium, while the heating steam exchanges heat with the medium-temperature and high-temperature heat storage mediums respectively. The heating steam is led out through a loop via the hot-side steam three-way valve 18 to return to the medium-temperature heating steam, which can simultaneously realize the production and flow regulation of heating hot water, medium-temperature steam, and high-temperature steam. During the non-heating season, the low-temperature heating steam branch valve 16 and steam pump 15 on the low-temperature steam branch are open, while the hot water valve 23 and water pump 22 on the heating return water branch are closed, and the No. 2 low-temperature heat storage medium pump 7d is closed. Through the regulation of the hot-side steam three-way valve 18 in the heating steam loop, the production and flow distribution of high-temperature steam and medium-temperature steam can be realized.

[0053] 2) When a user requires multiple forms of cooling simultaneously but does not require electrical or heating loads, the passages for the cryogenic storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultra-low temperature storage medium three-way valve 25 flowing into the second-stage cryogenic heat exchanger 4-2 and the first-stage cryogenic heat exchanger 4-1, respectively, should be closed simultaneously, and the multi-temperature zone heating system should not be started. During the high-temperature season, when both cooling and refrigeration loads are required, the passages for the cryogenic storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultra-low temperature storage medium three-way valve 25 flowing into the cryogenic storage medium heat exchanger 26 and the ultra-low temperature storage medium heat exchanger 24, respectively, should be opened, allowing the cryogenic storage medium to flow into the heating system. The refrigerant circuit exchanges heat, lowering the refrigerant temperature, which is suitable for refrigeration. The cryogenic storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit, which is suitable for freezing. When it is not a high-temperature season, only freezing is required. At this time, the passage of the cryogenic storage medium three-way valve 27 through the cryogenic storage medium heat exchanger 26 is closed, and the passage of the cryogenic storage medium three-way valve 25 through the cryogenic storage medium heat exchanger 24 is opened. The cryogenic storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit, lowering the refrigerant temperature. By adjusting the cryogenic storage medium three-way valve 25, the freezing temperature can also be controlled.

[0054] 3) When users need multiple forms of heating and cooling at the same time, but have no electricity load demand, the passages of the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 13, the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 19, and the low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 20 flowing into the first-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-1, the second-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-2, and the third-stage high-temperature heat exchanger 2-3 respectively should be closed. At the same time, the passages of the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27 and the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25 flowing into the second-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-2 and the first-stage low-temperature heat exchanger 4-1 respectively should be closed. The remaining schemes 1) and 2) can be combined for operation.

[0055] 4) When users have simultaneous heating, cooling, and power load demands, the system first meets the power load demand by regulating the flow rate of the working fluid through the flow regulating valve 12 to adjust the power generation. At the same time, it regulates the flow distribution of the heat storage and cold storage media in the multi-stage heat storage system and multi-stage cold storage system, including the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 13, the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 19, the low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve 20, the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 25, and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve 27, to ensure that the working fluid of the heat engine cycle is within the normal operating temperature range. Secondly, it meets the heat load demand, and finally considers the cooling load demand.

The heat from the hot tank (6a) is transferred to the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger (17) via the No. 2 medium-temperature heat storage medium pump (6d) and the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (19). The heat storage medium at the outlet of the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger (17) returns to the cold side medium-temperature heat storage tank (6b), and this process is repeated. In the heating circuit, the low-temperature return water from the heating return water pipeline (31) flows through the water pump (22), hot water valve (23), and low-temperature return water through the hot water heat exchanger (21) on the heating return water branch, and finally returns to the hot water supply pipeline (32).

The multi-temperature zone cooling system includes two-stage cooling: a low-temperature cooling circuit and an ultra-low-temperature cooling circuit. In the low-temperature cooling circuit, the cold storage medium from the cold-side low-temperature storage tank (9b) flows sequentially through the No. 4 cold storage medium pump (9d) and the low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (27).

7. The operation method of the Carnot battery energy storage system with integrated multi-temperature zone combined cooling, heating and power as described in any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that: 1) When the user is in a low electricity consumption period, the heat pump cycle energy storage system is started. The electrical energy is input into the heat pump electric compressor (1) to pressurize the working fluid, thereby obtaining a high temperature and high pressure working fluid. Then the working fluid enters the first-stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-1), the second-stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-2), and the third-stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-3) to release heat in sequence. The heat of multiple stages is stored in the high temperature cold storage tank, the medium temperature cold storage tank, and the low temperature heat storage tank, respectively. Then it flows through the heat pump expansion generator (3) to expand and do work and generate electricity. Finally, the working fluid enters the first-stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-1) and the second-stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-2) to absorb heat. The heat of multiple stages is stored in the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank and the low temperature cold storage tank, respectively, realizing the conversion and storage of electrical energy into heat energy. 2) When the user is in the peak electricity consumption period, the heat engine cycle power generation system is started. The working fluid flow rate is adjusted by the flow regulating valve (12). The working fluid first flows through the heat engine compressor (11) and is compressed. Then, it absorbs the heat from the low temperature heat storage tank, the medium temperature heat storage tank and the high temperature heat storage tank in the third stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-3), the second stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-2) and the first stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-1) to obtain high temperature and high pressure working fluid. Then, the high temperature and high pressure working fluid enters the heat engine expansion generator (10) to expand and do work and generate electricity. Then, the working fluid enters the second stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-2) and the first stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-1) to absorb the cold energy from the low temperature cold storage tank and the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank. Finally, it enters the heat engine compressor (11) again to realize the output of electrical energy and meet the user's electricity load demand. 3) When users need heating, the multi-temperature zone heating system is activated: When there is an industrial heating demand for high-temperature steam, low-temperature heating steam is introduced from the low-temperature steam pipeline (28). At this time, the low-temperature heating steam branch valve (16) and steam pump (15) are opened. The low-temperature heating steam flows sequentially through the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger (17), the hot-side steam three-way valve (18), and the high-temperature steam heat exchanger (14). It is heated to 300-400℃ by the medium-temperature heat storage medium and the high-temperature heat storage medium in the multi-temperature zone heat storage system, and then supplied with high-temperature steam through the high-temperature steam heating circuit (30); when there is an industrial heating demand for medium-temperature steam, In the low-temperature steam and multi-temperature zone heat storage system, the medium-temperature heat storage medium exchanges heat in the medium-temperature steam heat exchanger (17) and is heated to 150~250℃. After passing through the hot-side steam three-way valve (18), it is directly returned to the medium-temperature steam heating circuit (29) to provide medium-temperature steam. When there is a heating demand, the low-temperature return water is introduced through the heating return water pipeline (31). At this time, the water pump (22) and hot water valve (23) on the heating return water branch are opened. The low-temperature return water flows through the hot water heat exchanger (21) and exchanges heat with the low-temperature heat storage medium of the multi-temperature zone heat storage system to be heated to 80~90℃. It is then returned to the heated hot water through the hot water supply pipeline (32). 4) When users need cooling, the multi-temperature zone cooling system is started. There are two common cooling load requirements: one is a freezing load of -30℃ to -5℃, and the other is a refrigeration load of 0 to 20℃. When there is a refrigeration load requirement, the No. 4 cold storage medium pump (9d) and the cold storage medium three-way valve (27) are opened in the low temperature cold storage tank circuit. The cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (26), and the refrigerant temperature decreases, thereby meeting the refrigeration load requirement. When there is a freezing load requirement, the No. 2 cold storage medium pump (8d) and the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (25) are opened in the ultra-low temperature cold storage tank circuit. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium in the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (24), and releases the cooling load when it reaches the user side, thereby meeting the freezing load requirement.

8. The operation method of a Carnot battery energy storage system integrating multi-temperature zones with combined cooling, heating, and power as described in claim 7, characterized in that: 1) When a user needs multiple forms of heating at the same time and does not require electrical or cooling loads, the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (13), the medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (19), and the low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (20) should be closed simultaneously to allow the flow into the first-stage high-temperature heat exchanger (2-1), the second-stage high-temperature heat exchanger (2-2), and the third-stage high-temperature heat exchanger (2-3), respectively, and the multi-temperature zone cooling system should not be started; Considering both industrial heat load and heating heat load, the industrial heat load is a year-round heat load with little variation throughout the year, while the heating heat load is a seasonal heat load with actual demand only during the heating season and significant variation; If it is during the heating season, the low-temperature steam branch valve (16) on the low-temperature steam circuit and the heating return water branch should be closed. Hot water valve (23), steam pump (15), and water pump (22) are all open. The heating return water exchanges heat with the low-temperature heat storage medium, while the heating steam exchanges heat with the medium-temperature heat storage medium and the high-temperature heat storage medium respectively. The heating steam is led out through the hot side steam three-way valve (18) to return the medium-temperature heating steam, and at the same time realizes the production and flow regulation of heating hot water, medium-temperature steam and high-temperature steam. When it is the non-heating season, the low-temperature heating steam branch valve (16) and steam pump (15) on the low-temperature steam branch are open, while the hot water valve (23) and water pump (22) on the heating return water branch are closed, and the No. 2 low-temperature heat storage medium pump (7d) is closed. The production and flow distribution of high-temperature steam and medium-temperature steam are realized through the regulation of the hot side steam three-way valve (18) in the heating steam circuit. 2) When a user requires multiple forms of cooling simultaneously and does not require electrical or heating loads, the three-way valve (27) for low-temperature cold storage medium and the three-way valve (25) for ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium should be closed simultaneously, allowing the cold storage medium to flow into the second-stage low-temperature heat exchanger (4-2) and the first-stage low-temperature heat exchanger (4-1) respectively. The multi-temperature zone heating system should not be started. During the high-temperature season, when both cooling and refrigeration loads are required, the three-way valve (27) for low-temperature cold storage medium and the three-way valve (25) for ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium should be opened, allowing the cold storage medium to flow into the low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (26) and the ultra-low-temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (24) respectively. The medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit, and the refrigerant temperature decreases for use in refrigeration. The ultra-low temperature cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit for use in freezing. When it is not a high-temperature season, there is only a need for freezing. At this time, the passage of the low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (27) flowing through the low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (26) is closed, and the passage of the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (25) flowing through the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium heat exchanger (24) is opened. The ultra-low temperature cold storage medium exchanges heat with the refrigerant circuit, and the refrigerant temperature decreases. By adjusting the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (25), the freezing temperature can also be controlled. 3) When a user needs multiple forms of heating and cooling at the same time, but has no electricity load requirement, the passages of the high temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (13), the medium temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (19) and the low temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (20) flowing into the first stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-1), the second stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-2) and the third stage high temperature heat exchanger (2-3) respectively should be closed. At the same time, the passages of the low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (27) and the ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (25) flowing into the second stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-2) and the first stage low temperature heat exchanger (4-1) respectively should be closed. 4) When users have both heating and cooling loads, the system first meets the power load demand. It regulates the power generation by adjusting the flow rate of the working fluid through the flow regulating valve (12). At the same time, it adjusts the flow rate of the high-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (13), medium-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (19), low-temperature heat storage medium three-way valve (20), ultra-low temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (25), and low-temperature cold storage medium three-way valve (27) in the multi-temperature zone heat storage system and the multi-temperature zone cold storage system to distribute the flow rate of the heat storage and cold storage medium for heating and power generation, and cooling and power generation, so that the working fluid of the heat engine cycle is in the normal working temperature range. Then, it meets the heat load demand and finally considers the cooling load demand.
