Description

Multi-energy coupling cascade heating system based on solar tracking and its application method Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heating system technology, specifically relating to a multi-energy coupled cascade heating system based on solar tracking photovoltaics and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Heating is a crucial aspect of ensuring the livelihoods of residents in northern my country. However, the following problems exist in actual heating practices: First, traditional heating methods primarily rely on burning fossil fuels, leading to significant fossil fuel consumption in today's energy-scarce era. Second, while some regions have introduced clean energy sources like solar power for heating, the short daylight hours in northern winters mean that simply using solar thermal heating results in insufficient heat supply. Third, northern my country enjoys abundant sunshine and long hours in summer, providing ample heat that cannot be utilized in winter, creating a mismatch between time and space. Fourth, while coal-to-electricity conversion and heat pumps have been implemented in northern regions, the primary energy source remains electricity. Furthermore, my country's peak-valley electricity pricing policy results in higher operating costs for electricity-based heating strategies during peak hours. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The solar collectors are plate collectors, and the concentrated photovoltaics are placed in areas with ample sunlight on the ground.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] The method of using the multi-energy coupled cascade heating system in Example 1 or Example 2 includes one of the following methods one to three:

[0059] Method 1 (Sunny weather without heating, such as summer daytime): Open the port of the first three-way valve 16 that connects to the outlet of the circulating water tank 12 and the port that connects to the second three-way valve 17; close the port of the first three-way valve 16 that connects to the inlet of the heat exchange pipe 26; open the port of the second three-way valve 17 that connects to the first three-way valve 16; open the port of the second three-way valve 17 that connects to the inlet of the concentrating photovoltaic 1 or the port that connects to the inlet of the solar collector 2. The ports connected to the outlet are opened; the port of the third three-way valve 18 connected to the outlet of the hot water storage tank 3 and the port connected to the inlet of the heat storage pipe 25 are opened, and the port of the third three-way valve 18 connected to the fourth three-way valve 19 is closed; all ports of the fourth three-way valve 19 are closed; the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 connected to the inlet of the circulating water tank 12 and the port connected to the outlet of the heat storage pipe 25 are opened, and the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 connected to the outlet of the user is closed.

[0060] Method 2 (Sunny weather requiring heating, such as winter daytime): Open all ports of the first three-way valve 16; open the port of the second three-way valve 17 connected to the first three-way valve 16, and open the port of the second three-way valve 17 connected to the inlet of the concentrating photovoltaic unit 1 or the inlet of the solar collector 2; open the port of the third three-way valve 18 connected to the outlet of the hot water storage tank 3 and the port connected to the fourth three-way valve 19; close the third three-way valve 16. 8 is a port for connecting to the inlet of the heat storage pipe 25; open the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 for connecting to the inlet of the user end, open the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 for connecting to the third three-way valve 18 and / or for connecting to the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 26; open the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 for connecting to the inlet of the circulating water tank 12 and for connecting to the outlet of the user end, and close the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 for connecting to the outlet of the heat storage pipe 25;

[0061] Method 3 (Weather without sunlight and requiring heating, such as winter nights): When it is cloudy and there is no sun, the solar collector cannot operate, and the heat storage tank is driven first. Open the port of the first three-way valve 16 that connects to the outlet of the circulating water tank 12 and the port that connects to the inlet of the heat exchange pipe 26; close the port of the first three-way valve 16 that connects to the second three-way valve 17; close all ports of the second three-way valve 17; close all ports of the third three-way valve 18; open the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 that connects to the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 26 and the port that connects to the inlet of the user end; close the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 that connects to the third three-way valve 18; open the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 that connects to the inlet of the circulating water tank 12 and the port that connects to the outlet of the user end; close the port of the fifth three-way valve 20 that connects to the outlet of the heat storage pipe 25.

[0062] In both modes 1 and 2, cold water can enter the thermal management system for preheating. However, when the controller receives a water temperature exceeding 30°C after passing through the second thermocouple, it opens the ports of the second three-way valve 17 (connected to the inlet of the solar collector 2) and the first three-way valve 16, and closes the port of the second three-way valve 17 (connected to the inlet of the concentrating photovoltaic unit 1). If the water temperature is too high, the water from the circulating tank will not flow through the thermal management system. In mode 2, when the controller receives a water temperature below 35°C after passing through the first thermocouple, the heat storage tank 21 is activated for supplementary heating, i.e., the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 (connected to the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 26) is opened. When the controller receives a water temperature above 40°C after passing through the first thermocouple, the heat storage tank is stopped, i.e., the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 (connected to the outlet of the heat exchange pipe 26) is closed, and the port of the fourth three-way valve 19 (connected to the third three-way valve 18) is opened.

[0063] In methods two and three, when the controller obtains through the third thermocouple that the temperature in the phase change material layer 7 is lower than the phase change temperature of the phase change material in the phase change material layer 7, the electric heating film 9 heats the phase change material layer 7 until the temperature in the phase change material layer 7 is greater than or equal to the phase change temperature of the phase change material in the phase change material layer 7, preferably 5 to 8°C higher than its phase change temperature, and then the electric heating film 9 stops heating.

[0064] When the indoor ambient temperature at the user's end is below 15℃, the electric heating film 9 is activated to heat the room until the indoor ambient temperature at the user's end reaches 20℃.

[0065] The heat storage medium is a phase change material. In Method 1, when the temperature of the heat storage medium in the heat storage tank is higher than its phase change temperature, the port of the third three-way valve 18 connected to the outlet of the hot water storage tank 3 and the port connected to the inlet of the heat storage pipe 25 are closed. This stops the heat storage in the heat storage tank. The heat storage medium can be paraffin wax, with a phase change temperature greater than 50℃ and less than 60℃, and a latent heat of phase change of not less than 200 kJ·kg⁻¹. -1 .

[0067] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, the concentrated photovoltaic system monitors and rotates to ensure maximum light intake. For details on concentrated photovoltaic systems, please refer to the following literature: Chen Jin, Wang Yuehong, Chen Liquan, et al. Research on Regulation and Control Strategy of Concentrated Photovoltaic Sun Tracking System [J]. Measurement and Control Technology, 2018, 37(02):75-79.

[0068] Example 5

[0069] Based on winter conditions in Tianjin, the system operates according to Method 2 during the day and Method 3 at night, supplying heating to 1000m² of the multi-energy coupled cascade heating system. 2 Using phase change flooring as the standard, the area heat index method is employed to estimate the user-end heat load. The calculation formula is as follows:
