[0035] In the power generation mode, the first circulating pump 18 extracts the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid thermal battery circulating medium in the low-temperature reservoir 1, and sends the pressurized thermal battery circulating medium into the thermal battery circulating medium channel of the second counterflow heat exchanger 13. At the same time, the third circulating pump 21 extracts the low-temperature heat storage medium stored in the second high-temperature heat reservoir 15 and sends the low-temperature heat storage medium into the low-temperature heat storage medium channel of the second counterflow heat exchanger 13. The low-temperature heat storage medium exchanges heat with the thermal battery circulating medium, the low-temperature heat storage medium releases heat, and the thermal battery circulating medium absorbs heat.
