[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the heat pump module 1 includes: a main unit, a heat source tower, a solution purification device, a solution concentration control device and a solution regeneration device. The power Qm of the heat pump module 1 is a function of the distribution power Pm, that is, Q m=f(Pm), which can be specifically:

[0034] Qm=k1*Pm1*dt1+k2*Pm2*dt2+k3*Pm3*dt3+k4*Pm4*dt4;

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the radiation cooling module 2 includes: SiO2 fiber membrane and / or poly-N-isopropylacrylamide thermosensitive gel. If the radiation cooling module 2 includes SiO2 fiber membrane and poly-N-isopropylacrylamide thermosensitive gel, the SiO2 fiber membrane can be located in the upper layer, and the poly-N-isopropylacrylamide thermosensitive gel can be located in the lower layer.

[0042] Specifically, the radiant refrigeration material module is composed of radiant refrigeration material, which is a passive refrigeration technology that uses thermal radiation to achieve cooling. Compared with the active refrigeration technology based on compressors, it has no energy consumption and no greenhouse gas emissions. It achieves the purpose of cooling by covering a confined area with a spectrally selective material with an enhancement effect, releasing heat in the form of thermal radiation into the low-temperature outer space.

[0043] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a double-layer structure spectrally adaptive radiation cooling material is used, in which the upper layer of the radiation cooling material is a SiO2 fiber membrane, and the lower layer of the radiation cooling material is a poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) PNIPAM thermosensitive gel, which is used to regulate the mid-infrared emissivity outside the 8-13μm band, to achieve a higher wide-spectrum emissivity in a high temperature environment and a higher selective incidence rate in a medium and low temperature environment, so as to achieve the effect of adaptive radiation cooling.

[0046] Specifically, the power difference dQ is set in advance according to the power demand of the heat pump unit. dQ can generally be set to 1%-5% of the power demand Qm of the heat pump unit to provide a control margin. If Qg>(Qm+dQ), it means that the power provided by the photovoltaic module 31 is sufficient to meet the needs of the heat pump module. The first circuit breaker K1 and the fourth circuit breaker K4 are closed, and the second circuit breaker K2 and the third circuit breaker K3 are disconnected. The power of the heat pump module 1 is all provided by the photovoltaic module 31. If there is excess power, the second circuit breaker K2 can be controlled to close, and the excess power can be input into the energy storage module 32 for storage. If Qg<(Qm+dQ) and (Qg+Qc)>(Qm+dQ), that is, the power provided by the photovoltaic module 31 is insufficient to meet the needs of the heat pump module, but the photovoltaic module 31 and the energy storage module 2 can meet the needs of the heat pump unit, then the first circuit breaker K1, the second circuit breaker K2, and the fourth circuit breaker K4 are closed, and the third circuit breaker K3 is disconnected, and the power of the heat pump module is all provided by the photovoltaic module 31 and the energy storage module 32. If (Qg+Qc))<(Qm+dQ), it means that the photovoltaic module 31 and the energy storage module 2 cannot meet the needs of the heat pump module, and the first circuit breaker K1, the second circuit breaker K2, the third circuit breaker K3 and the fourth circuit breaker K4 can be controlled to be closed, and the photovoltaic module 31, the energy storage module 32 and the power grid module 33 can be combined to supply power to the heat pump module 1, or K3 and K4 can be controlled to be closed, the first circuit breaker K1 and the second circuit breaker K2 are disconnected, and only the power grid module 33 supplies power to the heat pump module 1.
