At the same time, the heat exchanged with the circulating water of the steam power generation system in the heat exchanger I 10 is less than the heat exchanged with the sand in the sand energy storage device 5. The heat storage medium sand in the sand energy storage device 5 continues to absorb the heat of the electric heating device and continues to heat up to the system set temperature.

The cross-seasonal long-term energy storage system using sand as the heat storage medium according to claim 6 is characterized in that: The heating module includes: a circulating water pump II and a control valve IV; The circulating water pump II is arranged on the pipeline from the heat exchanger II to the heat user; The control valve IV is arranged on the pipeline from the heat user back to the heat exchanger II, and is used to control the flow rate of circulating water, so as to realize the temperature regulation of the heat user when heating the system.
9. A method for long-term energy storage across seasons using sand as a heat storage medium, characterized in that: In the heat storage and power generation mode, the method comprises: Interface I of the three-way valve I is connected to interface III, and interface IV of the three-way valve II is connected to interface V; the photovoltaic module, controller, inverter, electric heating device, temperature measurement module I, and display alarm module start to operate, so that the heat storage medium sand in the sand energy storage submodule starts to heat up; Before the temperature measuring module II detects that the temperature of the heat transfer oil has risen to the threshold percentage of the failure temperature, the control valves I, II, III and IV are all in a closed state, and the heat transfer oil circulation pump, circulating water pump I and II stop running. When the temperature of the heat transfer oil rises to the threshold percentage of the failure temperature, the temperature measuring module I controls the display alarm module to sound an alarm, and at the same time, the temperature measuring module II controls the heat transfer oil heat exchange device to start circulating, the control valve I opens, the heat transfer oil circulation pump starts running, and the heat transfer oil enters the heat exchanger I for heat exchange; When the steam power generation module starts to run, the control valve II is opened, the circulating water pump I starts to run, and the circulating water enters the heat exchanger I to exchange heat with the heat transfer oil. The flow rate of the heat transfer oil circulation submodule is controlled by the control valve I so that the temperature of the heat transfer oil does not exceed the failure temperature, while keeping the heat exchanged less than the heat exchanged with the sand in the sand energy storage submodule; the steam after heat exchange enters the steam superheater, obtains superheated steam and enters the steam turbine, performs work to generate mechanical energy, and transmits it to the generator to generate electrical energy.
10. The method for long-term energy storage across seasons using sand as a heat storage medium according to claim 9, characterized in that: The method further includes: In the heating mode, the interface I of the three-way valve I is connected to the interface II, the interface IV of the three-way valve II is connected to the interface VI, the photovoltaic module, the controller, the inverter, the electric heating device, the temperature measurement module I, and the display alarm module continue to operate, so that the heat storage medium sand in the sand energy storage submodule continues to absorb heat; Close control valve I and control valve II, and the circulating water pump I stops running. Open control valve III and control valve IV, and the thermal oil circulating pump and circulating water pump II start running. The heat transfer oil in the heat transfer oil heat exchange device enters the heat exchanger II for heat exchange, and the circulating water of the heating module enters the heat exchanger II for heat exchange with the heat transfer oil, and then is sent to the heat user; Heat users adjust control valve IV according to demand and achieve temperature control by changing the flow rate of circulating water.
