[0002] Currently, energy storage batteries generate a lot of heat when they are working, and this heat is often directly dissipated, resulting in heat waste. For some places that need heating, such as vegetable greenhouses, residences, and offices, heating is often achieved through specific heating equipment, making the heating methods relatively simple. Heating equipment generally uses electricity or gas, which will bring a high cost burden to users and heating providers (such as the power grid and gas companies). Summary of the Invention

[0012] Each heating device provides heating to each target location based on a third dose of the second cooled medium and a fourth dose of the first cooled medium.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides a heating system, which includes a heating manager, a heat collection device, a first heating device, a second heating device, and multiple heating devices. The heat collection device is located in an energy storage container, and the energy storage container also includes a battery cluster corresponding to the heat collection device. The second heating device is used to provide heating for multiple target locations that require heating. The multiple heating devices correspond to multiple target locations, and each heating device is installed in the corresponding target location.

[0014] While the heat collection device collects first heat from the battery cluster, the first heating device is used to deliver a first dose of first cooling medium to the heat collection device, wherein the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster;

[0015] The first heating device is also used to receive a first dose of a first cooled medium from a heat collection device, wherein the first cooled medium is of the same type as the first cooling medium.

[0016] A heating manager is used to obtain the target temperature required for each target location.

[0017] The heating manager is also used to send a first message to the second heating device based on the target temperature and first heat required for each target location, wherein the first message is used to instruct the initial operating power of the second heating device to be adjusted to the target power;

[0018] The second heating device is used to heat the second dose of the second cooling medium at a target power in response to the first message, so as to obtain the second dose of the second cooled medium;

[0019] The second heating device is also used to deliver a third dose of the second cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the third doses of the second cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the second dose of the second cooled medium.

[0020] The first heating equipment is also used to deliver a fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the fourth dose of the first cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the first dose of the first cooled medium.

[0021] Each heating device is used to heat each target location based on a third dose of the second cooled medium and a fourth dose of the first cooled medium.

[0022] Thirdly, this application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer to perform the method as described in the first aspect.

[0023] Fourthly, this application provides a computer program product including a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which is operable to cause the computer to perform the method as described in the first aspect.

[0024] Implementing this application will have the following beneficial effects:

[0025] First, while the heat collection device collects first heat from the battery cluster, the first heating device supplies a first dose of first cooling medium to the heat collection device, wherein the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster; then, the first heating device receives a first dose of first cooled medium from the heat collection device, wherein the first cooled medium is of the same type as the first cooling medium; then, the heating manager obtains the target temperature required for each target location; then, based on the target temperature and first heat required for each target location, the heating manager sends a first message to the second heating device, wherein the first message instructs the initial operating power of the second heating device to be adjusted to the target power; then, in response to the first message, the second heating device heats the second dose of second cooling medium at the target power to obtain the second dose of second cooled medium; then, the second heating device supplies a third dose of second cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the third doses of second cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the second dose of second cooled medium; and the first heating device supplies a fourth dose of first cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the fourth doses of first cooled medium corresponding to each target location is... The first cooling medium is less than or equal to the first dose; finally, each heating device heats each target location based on the third dose of the second cooling medium and the fourth dose of the first cooling medium. That is to say, originally, only the second heating device was used to heat multiple target locations, which put a lot of pressure on the second heating device. This application can reduce the pressure on the heating side, i.e., the second heating device, by transferring the first heat generated by the energy storage battery to each target location through the first cooling medium. At the same time, the heating manager also sends a first message to the second heating device based on the target temperature and the first heat required by each target location, so that the initial working power of the second heating device is adjusted to the target power. That is, originally, only the second heating device was used to heat multiple target locations, which required heating at the initial working power. Now, with the heat support of the first heating device, the operation of the second heating device can be adjusted, such as appropriately reducing the working power, saving energy, and reducing the heating pressure of the second heating device. In addition, this application itself uses the heat generated by the energy storage device in a reasonable way to the field of heating technology, avoiding the direct waste of the heat generated by the energy storage device, improving the heat utilization rate, and has good application prospects in the fields of energy storage and energy.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a heating system provided for an embodiment of the application.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The heating system shown includes a heating manager, a heat collection device, a first heating unit, a second heating unit, and multiple heating devices. The heat collection device is located within the energy storage container, which also includes battery clusters corresponding to the heat collection device. For example, the heat collection device could be a heat exchanger used to collect the heat generated by the battery clusters. It should be noted that the energy storage container may include multiple battery clusters and corresponding heat collection devices for each battery cluster. Figure 1 The following description uses a single heat collection device corresponding to a battery cluster as an example. The battery cluster includes multiple battery packs, each with an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being higher than the inlet. Each battery pack and the heat collection device are connected via pipes to transport a cooling medium (e.g., gas, solid, or liquid cooling; this application does not limit the specific type of cooling medium) to carry the heat generated by each battery pack in the battery cluster to the heat collection device. For example, the heat collection device transports the cooling medium from the inlet to each battery pack via pipes, and then the cooling medium is transported from the outlet of the battery pack to the heat collection device, thus carrying the heat generated by the battery pack to the heat collection device. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The arrows corresponding to the central pipe (i.e., the two directions "left" and "right") are used to indicate inflow or outflow.

[0037] The first cooling medium side refers to the source of the first cooling medium, that is, the storage of the first cooling medium (which can be gas, liquid, solid, etc., this application does not specifically limit the first cooling medium). For example, if the first cooling medium is cold water, then the first cooling medium side can be a water company, a specially set up water storage tank, etc. Similarly, the second cooling medium refers to the source of the second cooling medium, that is, the storage of the second cooling medium (which can be gas, liquid, etc., this application does not specifically limit the first cooling medium). For example, if the second cooling medium is cold water, then the second cooling medium side can be a water company, a specially set up water storage tank, etc.

[0038] The first heating device, the first cooling medium side, the heat collection device, and each heating device are connected by pipes, so that the first heating device can obtain the first cooling medium from the first cooling medium side and transport it to the heat collection device. Then, it can transfer the heat of the hot fluid transported from the battery pack to the heat collection device to the first cooling medium. Then, the heat collection device outputs the first cooled medium to the first heating device. Then, the first heating device transports the first cooled medium to the corresponding heating device. The heating device then transfers the heat of the first cooled medium to the target location. A second valve is also installed on the pipe from the first heating device to the corresponding heating device. The second valve is controlled by the heating manager. By controlling the opening and closing of the second valve, the first cooled medium is transported to the corresponding heating device. This application does not specifically limit the type and form of the second valve.

[0039] The second heating device is connected to the second cooling medium side and each heating device is connected by a pipe, so that the second heating device can obtain the second cooling medium from the second cooling medium side and heat it to obtain the second cooled medium. Then the second cooled medium is transported to the corresponding heating device. The pipe that transports the second cooled medium to the corresponding heating device is equipped with a first valve. The first valve is also controlled by the heating manager. By controlling the opening and closing of the first valve, the second cooled medium is transported to the corresponding heating device. This application does not specifically limit the type and form of the first valve.

[0040] Figure 1 The heating manager shown is integrated into the first heating device. However, the heating processor of this application can also be integrated into the heat collection device, the second heating device, or within the battery cluster, or it can be installed independently of other devices within an energy storage container. This application does not impose specific limitations. Furthermore, it should be noted that... Figure 1 The form, location and type of all the devices and components shown are examples only, and this application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0041] While the heat collection device collects first heat from the battery cluster, the first heating device delivers a first dose of first cooling medium to the heat collection device, wherein the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster. Specifically: the heating manager predicts the first heat generated by the battery cluster, and then, while the heat collection device delivers cooling medium to each battery pack, the heating manager sends a second message to the first heating device based on the first heat. The second message instructs the first heating device to obtain a first dose of first cooling medium from the first cooling medium side. Upon receiving the second message, the first heating device, in response to the first message, obtains the first dose of first cooling medium from the first cooling medium side and delivers the first dose of first cooling medium to the heat collection device. The first heating device also receives a first dose of first cooled medium from the heat collection device, wherein the first cooled medium is of the same type as the first cooling medium. The heating manager also obtains the target temperature required for each target location.

[0042] Before the first heating device delivers the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device, the heating manager is also used to obtain the second temperature of the battery cluster in the previous period and the third temperature of the battery cluster in the current period; the heating manager determines the third temperature difference corresponding to the battery cluster based on the second temperature and the third temperature; the heating manager determines the first dose of the first cooling medium based on the third temperature difference corresponding to the battery cluster and the first heat.

[0043] The heating manager is also used to send a first message to the second heating device based on the target temperature and first heat required for each target location. The first message instructs the initial operating power of the second heating device to be adjusted to the target power. Specifically, before sending the first message to the second heating device, the heating manager is also used to determine the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium based on the first heat and the first dosage of the first cooling medium. The heating manager is also used to obtain the first distance between the first heating device and each heating device. The heating manager is also used to obtain the current ambient temperature. The heating manager is also used to determine the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device based on the first distance between the first heating device and each heating device and the current ambient temperature. The first loss rate represents the temperature change during the process of transferring the first cooled medium from the first heating device to each heating device.

[0044] The heating manager is also used to determine the target power of the second heating device based on the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, and the target temperature required for each target location. Specifically:

[0045] The heating manager is also used to determine the second heat corresponding to each target location based on the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, and the first heat. Specifically, based on the product of the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device and the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, the first temperature difference corresponding to each heating device is obtained. Based on the first temperature difference corresponding to each heating device, the first cooled medium of the fourth dose corresponding to each heating device, and the specific heat of the first cooled medium, the first loss rate heat corresponding to each target location is determined. Based on the ratio of the first cooled medium of the fourth dose to the first cooled medium of the first dose corresponding to each heating device, the first ratio corresponding to each heating device is obtained. Then, based on the product of the first ratio corresponding to each heating device and the first heat, the third heat corresponding to each target location is obtained. Based on the difference between the third heat corresponding to each target location and the first loss rate heat corresponding to each target location, the second heat corresponding to each target location is obtained.

[0046] The heating manager is also used to determine a first power based on the second heat and a first duration corresponding to each target location, wherein the first duration is the duration corresponding to the battery cluster generating the first heat. Specifically, the heating manager is also used to obtain the second power corresponding to each target location based on the ratio of the second heat to the first duration, and to average the second power corresponding to each target location to obtain the first power. The heating manager is also used to determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device based on the initial operating power of the second heating device and the first power.

[0047] Before determining the target power corresponding to the second heating device, the heating manager is also used to obtain the second distance between the second heating device and each heating device; obtain the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device; based on the second distance between the second heating device and each heating device, the current ambient temperature, the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device, determine the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device, where the second loss rate represents the temperature change during the transfer of the second cooling medium from the second heating device to each heating device; based on the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the initial operating power of the second heating device, and the first power, determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device, specifically: heating The manager is also used to obtain the second temperature difference for each target location based on the product of the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device and the target temperature required for each target location, and to obtain the fourth heat for each target location, wherein the fourth heat for each target location represents the heat required to heat each target location to the corresponding target temperature. Based on the fourth heat for each target location, the second temperature difference for each target location, the second heat loss for each target location, the second heat loss for each target location, and the first duration, the third power is determined. Based on the third power, the initial operating power of the second heating device, and the first power, the target power corresponding to the second heating device is determined.

[0048] The second heating device is used to, after receiving the first message, respond to the first message by obtaining a second dose of the second cooling medium from the second cooling medium side, and then heating the second dose of the second cooling medium with a target power to obtain a second dose of the second cooled medium.

[0049] The heating manager is also used to send a third message to the second heating device, the third message being used to instruct the second heating device to deliver a third dose of the second cooled medium to the corresponding heating device; the second heating device is also used to, after receiving the third message, in response to the third message, deliver a third dose of the second cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the third doses of the second cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the second dose of the second cooled medium.

[0050] The heating manager is also configured to send a fourth message to the first heating device, the fourth message being configured to instruct the first heating device to deliver a fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location; the first heating device is also configured to, upon receiving the fourth message, in response to the fourth message, deliver a fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating device corresponding to each target location, wherein the sum of the fourth doses of the first cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the first dose of the first cooled medium;

[0051] Each heating device provides heating to each target location based on a third dose of the second cooled medium and a fourth dose of the first cooled medium.

[0052] Figure 1 The multiple target locations shown can be places requiring heating, such as vegetable greenhouses, residences, and offices. Each target location is equipped with corresponding heating equipment. This heating equipment is used to transfer the heat from the cooled medium supplied by other equipment, such as the first and second heating devices, to the target location to provide heating. For example, the heating equipment can be a fan heater or finned tubes, converting the cooled medium into warm air for supply to the target location. This application does not specifically limit the target locations or heating equipment. The following explanation will be based on a specific scenario:

[0053] When the heat collection device collects first heat from the battery cluster, the first heating device delivers a first dose of first cooling medium to the heat collection device, wherein the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster; then the first heating device receives a first dose of first cooled medium from the heat collection device, wherein the first cooled medium is of the same type as the first cooling medium; then the heating manager obtains the target temperature required for each greenhouse; then the heating manager sends a first message to the second heating device based on the target temperature required for each greenhouse and the first heat, wherein the first message is used to instruct the initial operating power of the second heating device to be adjusted to the target power; then the second heating device responds to the first message and heats a second dose of second cooling medium at the target power to obtain a second dose of second cooled medium; then the second heating device delivers a third dose of second cooled medium to the heating device (e.g., finned tube) corresponding to each greenhouse; and the first heating device delivers a fourth dose of first cooled medium to the finned tube corresponding to each greenhouse; finally, each finned tube heats each greenhouse based on the third dose of second cooled medium and the fourth dose of first cooled medium.

[0054] It should be noted that the specific principles and technical effects of the embodiments in which the heating manager, heat collection device, first heating equipment, second heating equipment, and heating equipment are specifically used will be described in detail below, and will not be elaborated here.

[0055] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a heating method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to a heating system, and the relevant explanation of the heating system can be found above. Figure 1 The description of the heating system shown is not repeated here; the method includes, but is not limited to, steps 201-208:

[0056] 201: While the heat collection device collects first heat from the battery cluster, the first heating device delivers a first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device.

[0057] In the embodiments of this application, the first cooling medium can be a gas, liquid, solid, etc. When it is a solid, the first dose can be understood as the mass of the first cooling medium. When it is a gas or liquid, the first dose can represent volume or mass. This application does not specifically limit the first cooling medium. The first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster. If the battery cluster includes multiple battery packs, the first heat is the sum of the heat generated by the multiple battery packs. In addition, the first heat can be the heat generated in a time period, such as the heat generated in the current time period, or the heat generated in multiple time periods. This application does not limit it.

[0058] The heat collection device collects the first heat from the battery cluster by inputting a cooling medium (used to remove the heat generated by the battery pack) through the inlet corresponding to each battery pack, and then outputting the cooled medium from the outlet of each battery pack to the heat collection device to achieve heat collection. Therefore, before the first heating equipment delivers the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device, it is also necessary to predict the first heat generated by the battery cluster, that is, to predict the total heat generated by the battery pack. For example, if the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster in the current period, then the fourth temperature of each battery pack in the current period and the fifth temperature of each battery pack in the previous period are obtained; and the mass of each battery pack is obtained; then, based on the mass of each battery pack, the difference between the fourth temperature of each battery pack in the current period and the fifth temperature of each battery pack in the previous period, and the product of the specific heat of each battery pack, the fifth heat generated by each battery pack in the current period is obtained; then, the fifth heat generated by each battery pack in the current period is summed to obtain the aforementioned first heat.

[0059] Therefore, after determining the first heat and before the first heating device delivers the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device, the first dose of the first cooling medium can be determined based on the first heat. For example, the heating manager obtains the second temperature of the battery cluster in the previous period and the third temperature of the battery cluster in the current period; the heating manager determines the third temperature difference corresponding to the battery cluster based on the second temperature and the third temperature, which is the difference between the second temperature and the third temperature; then the heating manager determines the first dose of the first cooling medium based on the third temperature difference corresponding to the battery cluster and the first heat, for example, by determining the product of the third temperature difference and the specific heat of the first cooling medium, and then obtaining the first dose of the first cooling medium based on the ratio of the first heat to the product.

[0060] Furthermore, after determining the first dose of the first cooling medium, the heating manager can also send a second message to the first heating device, wherein the second message is used to instruct the first heating device to deliver the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device; then, after receiving the second message, the first heating device, in response to the second message, delivers the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device. For example, the first heating device can obtain the corresponding first dose of the first cooling medium from the first cooling medium side shown in the above embodiment, and then deliver the first dose of the first cooling medium to the heat collection device.

[0061] 202: The first heating equipment receives a first dose of the first cooled medium from the heat collection device.

[0062] In embodiments of this application, the first cooled medium is of the same type as the first cooling medium, that is, in combination with... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the first heating device inputs a first cooling medium into the heat collection device through a pipe. Then, the hot fluid transported from the battery cluster side to the heat collection device transfers heat to the first cooling medium, which then becomes the first cooled medium. The first heating device then receives a corresponding first dose of the first cooled medium from the heat collection device.

[0063] 203: The heating manager obtains the target temperature required for each target location.

[0064] In the embodiments of this application, if the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster in the current time period, then the target temperature required for each target location can be understood as the ideal temperature required for each target location in the current time period.

[0065] 204: The heating manager sends a first message to the second heating device based on the target temperature and first heat required for each target location.

[0066] In the embodiments of this application, the first message is used to instruct the initial operating power of the second heating device to be adjusted to the target power. That is, the first message carries or includes the target power. Therefore, before sending the first message to the second heating device, the heating manager also needs to determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device.

[0067] For example, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating how a heating manager determines the target power corresponding to a first heating device, as provided in this application embodiment, includes, but is not limited to, steps 301-304:

[0068] 301: Based on the first heat and the first dose of the first cooling medium, determine the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium.

[0069] For example, a first temperature of the first cooled medium can be determined based on a first heat, a first dose of the first cooling medium, and a thermal energy formula.

[0070] 302: Obtain the first distance between the first heating device and each heating device, and obtain the current ambient temperature.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, the current ambient temperature can be obtained from the forecast data of an authoritative weather forecasting platform, and this application does not impose any specific limitations.

[0072] 303: Based on the first distance between the first heating device and each heating device and the current ambient temperature, determine the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device.

[0073] In the embodiments of this application, the first loss rate represents the amount of temperature change during the process of transferring the first cooled medium from the first heating device to each heating device. For example, by presetting multiple temperature ranges, each temperature range corresponds to a unit loss temperature, and then the target unit loss temperature is determined based on the temperature range where the current ambient temperature is located. Then, the second duration corresponding to each heating device is obtained based on the ratio of the first distance between the first heating device and each heating device to the preset flow rate. Then, the sixth temperature corresponding to each heating device is obtained based on the product of the second duration corresponding to each heating device and the target unit loss temperature. Finally, the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device is obtained based on the ratio of the sixth temperature corresponding to each heating device to the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium.

[0074] 304; Based on the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, and the target temperature required for each target location, determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device.

[0075] For example, step 304 includes, but is not limited to, steps S11-S13:

[0076] S11: Based on the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, and the first heat, determine the second heat corresponding to each target location.

[0077] Specifically: First, based on the product of the first loss rate corresponding to each heating device and the first temperature corresponding to the first cooled medium, the first temperature difference corresponding to each heating device is obtained; then, based on the product of the first temperature difference corresponding to each heating device, the fourth dose of the first cooled medium corresponding to each heating device, and the specific heat of the first cooled medium, the first loss rate heat corresponding to each target location is obtained. That is, the first loss heat refers to the heat lost during the process of transporting the first cooled medium to each heating device; then, based on the ratio of the fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the first dose of the first cooled medium corresponding to each heating device, the first ratio corresponding to each heating device is obtained; then, based on the first ratio corresponding to each heating device and the first... The product of the first heat is used to obtain the third heat corresponding to each target location. In other words, the third heat represents the heat that each target location can obtain from the first heating equipment, or it can be understood as the heat that the first heating equipment can ideally provide to each heating equipment. Then, based on the difference between the third heat corresponding to each target location and the first loss rate heat corresponding to each target location, the second heat corresponding to each target location is obtained. At this time, the second heat can be understood as the heat that the heating equipment of each target location can still obtain after the first loss heat is lost during the process of delivering the first cooling medium of the fourth dose to each heating equipment. That is, the heat that the heating equipment of each target location can actually obtain from the first heating equipment.

[0078] S12: Determine the first power based on the second heat and first duration corresponding to each target location.

[0079] Here, the first duration is the duration corresponding to the generation of the first heat by the battery cluster. For example, if the first heat is generated in the current time period, then the first duration is the duration of the current time period. For instance, the second power corresponding to each target location can be obtained based on the ratio of the second heat to the first duration for each target location; then, the first power can be obtained by averaging the second power corresponding to each target location.

[0080] S13: Based on the initial operating power and first power of the second heating device, determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device.

[0081] For example, the difference between the initial operating power and the first power can be determined as the target power corresponding to the second heating device.

[0082] In this embodiment, relying solely on the second heating device to heat multiple target locations would put pressure on the second heating device and require a large operating power, resulting in higher costs. This application addresses this by transferring the first heat generated by the energy storage battery (i.e., the aforementioned battery cluster) to each heating device via a heat collection device and the first heating device to heat the target locations. This reduces the supply pressure on the second heating device. Specifically, the target power of the second heating device is determined based on the target temperature and the first heat required for each target location. The initial operating power of the second heating device is then adjusted to the target power. Since the target power is less than the initial operating power, the burden on the second heating device is reduced, making it less prone to damage and extending its service life. Furthermore, considering that the first heating device loses some heat during the delivery of the first cooling medium to each heating device due to factors such as ambient temperature and distance, the first heat loss for each heating device is calculated to determine the first power for each device, thereby determining the target power and improving the accuracy of target power determination.

[0083] In one optional embodiment of this application, see [reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating how to determine the target power of a second heating device based on its initial operating power and first power, as provided in this application embodiment, includes, but is not limited to, steps 401-404:

[0084] 401: Obtain the second distance between the second heating device and each heating device.

[0085] 402: Obtain the service life and number of repairs for each heating device.

[0086] In the embodiments of this application, if the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster in the current time period, then the service life and number of maintenance for each heating device at this time are the service life and number of maintenance for each heating device before the current time period; if the first heat is the heat generated by the battery cluster in multiple time periods, then the service life and number of maintenance for each heating device at this time are the service life and number of maintenance before the time period with the first time sequence among the multiple time periods.

[0087] 403: Based on the second distance between the second heating device and each heating device, the current ambient temperature, the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device, determine the second loss rate for each heating device.

[0088] In embodiments of this application, the second loss rate represents the amount of temperature change during the transfer of the second cooled medium from the second heating device to each heating device. For example, by presetting multiple temperature ranges, each temperature range corresponding to a unit loss temperature, and then determining the target unit loss temperature based on the temperature range of the current ambient temperature, the third duration corresponding to each heating device is obtained based on the ratio of the first distance between the second heating device and each heating device to the preset flow rate. Then, based on the product of the third duration corresponding to each heating device and the target unit loss temperature, the seventh temperature corresponding to each heating device is obtained. Finally, based on the ratio of the seventh temperature corresponding to each heating device to the first temperature corresponding to the second cooled medium, the third loss rate corresponding to each heating device is obtained. Furthermore, by presetting multiple service life ranges and multiple maintenance frequency ranges, each service life range corresponding to a loss rate and each maintenance frequency range corresponding to a loss rate, the first target loss rate and the second target loss rate are determined based on the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device, respectively. Finally, the third loss rate, the first target loss rate, the second target loss rate, and the corresponding weighting coefficients are weighted and summed to obtain the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device.

[0089] 404: Based on the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device, the initial operating power of the second heating device, and the first power, determine the target power corresponding to the second heating device.

[0090] For example, firstly, based on the product of the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device and the target temperature required for each target location, the second temperature difference corresponding to each target location is obtained. That is, the second temperature difference can be understood as the temperature lost by the second cooled medium during the process of transporting the second cooled medium to the heating device, i.e., the temperature reduction. Then, the fourth heat corresponding to each target location is obtained, where the fourth heat corresponding to each target location represents the heat required to heat each target location to the corresponding target temperature. Then, based on the fourth heat corresponding to each target location, the second temperature difference corresponding to each target location, and the second heat loss corresponding to each target location, specifically, based on the fourth heat corresponding to each target location, the target temperature corresponding to each target location, and the specific heat of the second cooled medium, the second heat loss corresponding to each target location is obtained by combining the heat energy formula, i.e., the first cooled medium... The heat lost by the medium during the process of transporting it from the second heating equipment to the heating equipment; then, based on the second heat loss and the first duration corresponding to each target location, the third power is determined. Specifically, based on the ratio of the second heat loss to the first duration corresponding to each target location, the fourth power corresponding to each target location is obtained. The fourth power corresponding to each target location is then averaged to obtain the third power. Finally, based on the third power, the initial operating power of the second heating equipment, and the first power, the target power corresponding to the second heating equipment is determined. Specifically, based on the preset mapping relationship between loss rate and weight, the first weight corresponding to the first loss rate and the second weight corresponding to the second loss rate are determined. Then, the first product of the first loss rate and the first weight, and the second product of the second loss rate and the second weight are determined. Finally, the initial operating power is subtracted from the first product and added to the second product to obtain the target power corresponding to the second heating equipment.

[0091] In this embodiment, during the process of the second heating device supplying the second cooling medium to each heating device, heat loss occurs due to factors such as the distance between the second heating device and the heating device, as well as the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device. For example, the greater the distance, the greater the loss; similarly, the longer the service life and the more maintenance frequency of the heating device, the worse its performance, resulting in less conversion of a certain amount of the second cooling medium into warm air. Therefore, by combining the second distance between the second heating device and each heating device, the current ambient temperature, and the service life and maintenance frequency of each heating device, the second loss rate corresponding to each heating device is determined, thereby determining the second heat loss. The greater the second heat loss, the greater the heat loss of the second heating device. The initial operating power of the heating equipment is insufficient to meet the demand, requiring an increase in power. Then, based on the second heat loss and the first duration, a third power increase is determined, ensuring the accuracy of the third power. Next, based on the third power, the first probability, and the initial operating probability, the final target power is determined. In other words, from the perspective of the first heating equipment, it can be determined how much power the second heating equipment can reduce, and from the perspective of the second heating equipment, it can be determined how much power it should increase. Combining the increased and decreased power, the target power is determined. Multi-dimensional analysis of the corresponding losses ensures the accuracy of the target power determination and also reduces the operational range of the second heating equipment, guaranteeing safe use.

[0092] 205: The second heating device responds to the first message by heating the second dose of the second cooling medium at a target power to obtain the second dose of the second cooled medium.

[0093] In the embodiments of this application, the first message also includes the dosage corresponding to the second cooling medium. After receiving the first message, the second heating device, in response to the first message, obtains the second dosage of the second cooling medium from the second cooling medium side and heats it to the target temperature.

[0094] 206: The second heating equipment delivers a third dose of the second cooling medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location.

[0095] Wherein, the sum of the third dose of the second cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the second dose of the second cooled medium; before delivering the third dose of the second cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location, the heating manager sends a third message to the second heating equipment, the third message being used to instruct the second heating equipment to deliver the third dose of the second cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location. Therefore, after receiving the third message, the second heating equipment, in response to the third message, delivers the third dose of the second cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location.

[0096] 207: The first heating equipment delivers the fourth dose of the first cooling medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location.

[0097] Wherein, the sum of the fourth dose of the first cooled medium corresponding to each target location is less than or equal to the first dose of the first cooled medium; before delivering the fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location, the heating manager sends a fourth message to the first heating equipment, the fourth message being used to indicate that the first heating equipment delivers the fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location. Therefore, after receiving the fourth message, the first heating equipment, in response to the fourth message, delivers the fourth dose of the first cooled medium to the heating equipment corresponding to each target location.

[0098] 208: Each heating device provides heating to each target location based on a third dose of the second cooled medium and a fourth dose of the first cooled medium.

[0099] For example, if the target location is a greenhouse, the heating equipment can be a finned tube or a warm air blower. The finned tube or warm air blower converts the third dose of the second cooled medium and the fourth dose of the first cooled medium into warm air and delivers it into the greenhouse to achieve heating.
