Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of integrated energy technology, and in particular to a method for optimizing and controlling the outlet water temperature of a water source heat pump for waste heat recovery. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of heat pump technology, more and more heat pump products can reduce the temperature of low-temperature industrial waste heat (25-35°C) to 60-120°C, providing a new approach for energy conservation and carbon reduction in the industrial sector. In waste heat recovery scenarios, if the heat pump outlet water temperature is too high, the heat pump COP will decrease; if the heat pump outlet water temperature is too low, the waste heat utilization will be too low. Therefore, how to set the outlet water temperature of the water source heat pump has become a problem that needs to be solved to optimize the operation of the waste heat recovery system. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose an optimized control method for the outlet water temperature of a water source heat pump for waste heat recovery. This method comprehensively considers equipment operating efficiency and waste heat utilization, with the goal of maximizing the benefits of the waste heat recovery system, and effectively solves the problem of heat pump outlet water temperature control.
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A method for optimizing and controlling the outlet water temperature of a water source heat pump for waste heat recovery includes the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Adjust the actual outlet water temperature of the heat pump within the heat pump outlet water temperature range and obtain the heat pump operating COP data;
[0007] Step 2: Use the least squares method to fit the outlet water temperature and heat pump operation COP data to obtain the functional relationship fcop(T) between heat pump operation COP and outlet water temperature T;
[0008] Step 3: Calculate the system output heat Q when the outlet water temperature is T;
[0009] Step 4: Calculate the waste heat replacement benefit F1 based on the system output heat Q at the outlet water temperature T;
[0010] Step 5: Calculate the heat pump operating cost F2 based on the system output heat Q at the outlet water temperature T;
[0011] Step 6: Establish a maximum benefit model for optimizing the control of heat pump outlet water temperature: F=max(F1-F2);
[0012] Step 7: Using the change rules of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimal temperature Tbest that maximizes the profit Fmax and the heat pump outlet water temperature is generated through continuous iteration.
[0013] Moreover, the specific implementation method of step 3 is as follows: Q = (T - Tin) * water flow rate * water specific heat capacity, where Tin is the heat pump inlet water temperature.
[0014] Moreover, the specific implementation method of step 4 is: F1 = Q / calorific value of natural gas * price of natural gas.
[0015] Moreover, the specific implementation method of step 5 is: F2 = Q / fcop(T) * electricity price.
[0016] Moreover, the specific implementation method of step 6 is: F = max(F1 - F2).
[0017] The advantages and positive effects of this invention are:
[0018] This invention fits the outlet water temperature and the COP (Coefficient of Performance) data of the heat pump to obtain their functional relationship. Simultaneously, it calculates the system output heat Q at outlet water temperature T. It then constructs models to calculate the waste heat replacement benefit F1 and the heat pump operating cost F2, and builds a profit-maximizing model that includes both F1 and F2. The optimal temperature Tbest, which generates the maximum profit Fmax and the heat pump outlet water temperature, is calculated using a particle swarm optimization algorithm. This invention, from the perspective of heat pump operation optimization control, constructs an optimization control model that considers maximizing the system's profit from heat pump waste heat utilization, addressing the problem of optimizing the heat pump outlet water temperature.
