Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to a thermally regulated compressed air energy storage system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a physical energy storage technology that compresses air during off-peak periods to store energy and releases it during peak hours to generate electricity. Its core principles include the following: The energy storage phase: Electricity drives a multi-stage compressor, compressing air to high pressure and storing it in underground salt caverns, artificial chambers, or air tanks. The electrical energy is converted into pressure and thermal energy in the air. The energy release phase: After the high-pressure air is released, it is converted into mechanical energy through an expander (turbine) to drive a generator for power generation.

[0003] During the compression process, the air temperature will inevitably rise. If this heat is dissipated, it will lead to energy waste, reduced energy storage efficiency, and may even damage the equipment. Similarly, during the power generation stage, the expansion of the air will absorb heat and reduce the temperature. If there is a lack of proper heating measures, the temperature of the expanded air will drop significantly. In existing compressed air energy storage systems, the heat generated during the compression process is recovered and stored in a certain tank. As a heat source, it cannot be applied to many actual scenarios, resulting in energy waste and reduced efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 , describing embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a thermally regulated compressed air energy storage system is provided, comprising:

[0029] At least two compressors arranged in series, including a first compressor 101 and a second compressor 102, the first compressor 101 and the second compressor 102 are connected through a first outlet pipe 104, the outlet end of the second compressor 102 is provided with a second outlet pipe 105, and the first compressor 101 is arranged upstream of the second compressor 102;

[0030] The heat extraction component 2 includes a first heat exchanger 204, a second heat exchanger 205 and a heat extraction tank group 201. The heat extraction tank group 201 includes a first heat extraction tank 2011 and a second heat extraction tank 2012. The first heat extraction tank 2011 and the second heat extraction tank 2012 are respectively provided with heat exchange medium. The first air outlet pipeline 104 is arranged through the first heat exchanger 204, and the second air outlet pipeline 105 is arranged through the second heat exchanger 205. The first heat exchanger 204 is suitable for communicating with the first heat extraction tank 2011 through a pipeline, and the second heat exchanger 205 is suitable for communicating with the second heat extraction tank 2012 through a pipeline.

[0031] In the energy storage state, the first compressor 101 and the second compressor 102 are in operation. The gas compressed by the first compressor 101 enters the first outlet pipe 104 for heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 204, and the heat exchanged medium is stored in the first heat extraction tank 2011. The gas compressed by the second compressor 102 enters the second outlet pipe 105 for heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 205, and the heat exchanged medium is stored in the second heat extraction tank 2012. The temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011 is different from the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012. Due to the difference in temperature between the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011 and the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012, the first heat extraction tank 2011 and the second heat extraction tank 2012 serve as heat sources to meet different industrial heat needs, realize hierarchical heat storage and timely external supply, and greatly absorb renewable energy. It should be noted that the power for the first compressor 101 and the second compressor 102 in this application comes from green renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy, or excess electricity generated by power plants. That is, the electricity generated by green renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy enters the power grid (or excess energy within the power grid) and is then used by the compressors to compress air, thus solving the problem of absorbing renewable energy. It should be noted that the term "upstream" in this embodiment refers to the direction of gas flow, and "the first compressor 101 is located upstream of the second compressor 102" means that the gas first passes through the first compressor 101 before entering the second compressor 102.

[0032] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the system also includes a gas compression assembly 1, which includes the aforementioned first compressor 101, second compressor 102, first outlet pipeline 104, and second outlet pipeline 105. It also includes a third compressor 103, third outlet pipeline 106, and gas storage tank 4. The second and third compressors 102 and 103 are connected via the second outlet pipeline 105, and the third compressor 103 and gas storage tank 4 are connected via the third outlet pipeline 106. Gas passes through the first, second, and third compressors 101, 102, and 103 in sequence before being stored in the gas storage tank 4. The gas in the gas storage tank 4 is at room temperature and high pressure, preparing for the next energy release. In this embodiment, the second compressor 102 is located upstream of the third compressor 103, and the gas enters the third compressor 103 after passing through the second compressor 102. It is important to note that the gas compression assembly 1 also includes a fourth inlet pipeline 107, which is connected to the inlet end of the first compressor 101 to draw gas from the environment. Specifically, the gas is air.

[0033] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the heat extraction component 2 includes a heat extraction main pipe 202, a first heat extraction branch pipe 211, a second heat extraction branch pipe 212, a first heat extraction inflow branch pipe 207, and a second heat extraction inflow branch pipe 208. The heat extraction main pipe 202 is provided with a first power circulation pump 203. One end of the heat extraction main pipe 202 is connected to the heat extraction tank group 201, and the other end of the heat extraction main pipe 202 is connected to the first heat extraction branch pipe 211, the second heat extraction branch pipe 212, the first heat extraction inflow branch pipe 207, and the second heat extraction inflow branch pipe 208. The pipe 212 is connected, the first heat outflow branch pipe 211 is connected to the first heat exchanger 204, the first heat inflow branch pipe 207 is connected to the first heat exchanger 204 and the first heat extraction tank 2011 respectively, the second heat outflow branch pipe 212 is connected to the second heat exchanger 205, the second heat inflow branch pipe 208 is connected to the second heat exchanger 205 and the second heat extraction tank 2012 respectively, and the first heat inflow branch pipe 207 is connected to the second heat inflow branch pipe 208. The heat exchange medium in the heat extraction tank group 201 is distributed to the first heat extraction inlet branch 207 and the second heat extraction inlet branch 208 via the heat extraction outflow main pipe 202. After exchanging heat with the compressed gas in the first heat exchanger 204 and the second heat exchanger 205, the heat exchange medium flows into the first heat extraction tank 2011 through the first heat extraction inlet branch 207 and into the second heat extraction tank 2012 through the second heat extraction inlet branch 208, respectively. The first power circulation pump 203 provides circulation power throughout the entire process. Specifically, the first power circulation pump 203 is a liquid power pump. It should be noted that the heat exchange medium in this embodiment is pressurized water.

[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat extraction assembly 2 further includes a third heat exchanger 206, a third heat extraction tank 2013, a third heat extraction outflow branch pipe 213, and a third heat extraction inflow branch pipe 209. The third outlet pipeline 106 is disposed through the third heat exchanger 206.

The third heat extraction inflow branch pipe 209 is respectively connected to the third heat exchanger 206 and the third heat extraction tank 2013. The heat exchange medium in the third heat extraction outflow branch pipe 213 flows into the third heat exchanger 206 after passing through the heat extraction outflow main pipe 202. After heat exchange with the compressed gas in the third outlet pipeline 106 in the third heat exchanger 206, the heat exchange medium flows into the third heat extraction inflow branch pipe 209 and finally into the third heat extraction tank 2013. It should be noted that the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the third heat extraction tank 2013 is greater than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012 and greater than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011 .

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to realize automatic control, Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a first control main valve 210 is also provided on the heat outflow main pipe 202, and the first control main valve 210 is located upstream of the first power circulation pump 203, and the first power circulation pump 203 is located upstream of the connection point between the heat outflow main pipe 202 and the first heat outflow branch pipe 211, a first control sub-valve 214 is provided on the first heat outflow branch pipe 211, a second control sub-valve 215 is provided on the second heat outflow branch pipe 212, and a third control sub-valve 216 is provided on the third heat outflow branch pipe 213, a first flow valve 217 is provided on the first heat inflow branch pipe 207, a second flow valve 218 is provided on the second heat inflow branch pipe 208, and a third flow valve 219 is provided on the third heat inflow branch pipe 209.

Specifically, the first four-way valve is an electromagnetic four-way valve.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat supply assembly 3 is also included. The heat supply assembly 3 includes a heat supply tank, a heat exchange outflow pipe 303, and a first heat exchange inflow pipe 302. The heat exchange outflow pipe 303 connects the heat extraction tank group 201 and the heat supply tank, respectively, while the first heat exchange inflow pipe 302 connects the heat extraction tank group 201 and the heat supply tank. The heat exchange medium in the heat supply tank flows to the heat extraction tank group 201 through the heat exchange outflow pipe 303, and the heat exchange medium in the heat extraction tank group 201 flows to the heat supply tank through the first heat exchange inflow pipe 302. It should be noted that the heat exchange outflow line 303 is connected to the first heat extraction tank 2011, the second heat extraction tank 2012, and the third heat extraction tank 2013 via a second four-way valve, allowing the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange outflow line 303 to flow into one of the first, second, and third heat extraction tanks 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Specifically, the second and third four-way valves are electromagnetic four-way valves. Furthermore, temperature sensors are installed in the heating tank, the first, second, and third heat extraction tanks 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively.

The heat exchange medium in the heat supply tank is transported via the heat exchange outflow pipe 303 to the first heat exchange outflow branch pipe 304 and the second heat exchange outflow branch pipe 305, respectively. The first heat exchange outflow branch pipe 304 then transports the heat exchange medium to the first heat exchanger 204 for heat exchange with the compressed gas in the first outlet pipe 104 within the first heat exchanger 204. The second heat exchange outflow branch pipe then transports the heat exchange medium to the second heat exchanger 205 for heat exchange with the compressed gas in the second outlet pipe 105 within the second heat exchanger 205. After heat exchange, the heat exchange medium enters the second heat exchange inflow pipe 307 and flows back into the heat supply tank.

[0048] The thermally regulated compressed air energy storage system provided in this embodiment is used for peak load regulation of the power grid and has an energy storage state and an energy release state. The energy storage state refers to when the power grid has excess power, it is used to absorb excess power generated by wind power, solar power, power plants, etc.; the energy release state refers to when the power grid is insufficient, the expander performs work to provide power to the grid.

[0049] A control method for a thermally regulated compressed air energy storage system, in an energy storage state, comprises the following steps:

[0050] (1) The excess power of the grid starts the first compressor 101, the second compressor 102 and the third compressor 103, starts the first power circulation pump 203, opens the first control main valve 210, the first control sub-valve 214 and the first flow valve 217, and the external gas enters the first compressor 101 through the fourth air inlet pipe 107. The pressure of the gas compressed by the first compressor 101 is the first pressure and the temperature rises. The gas compressed by the first compressor 101 is discharged through the first air outlet pipe 10 4 enters the first heat exchanger 204, and the heat outflow main pipe 202 extracts the heat exchange medium in the heat extraction tank group 201. The heat exchange medium enters the first heat exchanger 204 through the first heat extraction outflow branch pipe 211 to exchange heat with the gas in the first outlet pipe 104, cooling the heated gas to room temperature. After flowing out of the first heat exchanger 204, the heat exchange medium flows into the first heat extraction tank 2011 through the first heat extraction inflow branch pipe 207, so that the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011 is the first temperature;

[0051] After the gas at the first pressure after heat exchange enters the second compressor 102, the second control sub-valve 215 and the second flow valve 218 are opened, and the pressure of the gas compressed by the second compressor 102 increases from the first pressure to the second pressure, and the temperature increases again. The gas compressed by the second compressor 102 enters the second heat exchanger 205 through the second gas outlet pipeline 105, and the heat outflow main pipe 202 distributes a part of the extracted heat exchange medium to the second heat outflow branch. The heat exchange medium enters the second heat exchanger 205 through the second heat outflow branch 212 and exchanges heat with the gas in the second air inlet pipeline 505, cooling the gas with the increased temperature to room temperature. After flowing out of the second heat exchanger 205, the heat exchange medium flows into the second heat extraction tank 2012 through the second heat inflow branch 208, so that the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012 is the second temperature;

[0052] After the gas at the second pressure after heat exchange enters the third compressor 103, the third control valve 216 and the third flow valve 219 are opened. The pressure of the gas compressed by the third compressor 103 rises from the second pressure to the third pressure, and the temperature rises again. The gas compressed by the third compressor 103 enters the third heat exchanger 206 through the third outlet pipe 106. The heat outflow main pipe 202 distributes a part of the extracted heat exchange medium to the third heat outflow branch. The heat exchange medium flows through the third heat outflow branch pipe. 213 enters the third heat exchanger 206 to exchange heat with the gas in the third gas outlet pipeline 106, cooling the heated gas to room temperature. After flowing out of the third heat exchanger 206, the heat exchange medium flows into the third heat extraction tank 2013 through the third heat extraction inflow branch pipe 209, so that the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the third heat extraction tank 2013 is the third temperature. After heat exchange, the gas at the third pressure flows into the gas storage tank 4 through the third gas outlet pipeline 106. The gas pressure in the gas storage tank 4 is the third pressure and the temperature is room temperature.

[0053] (2) While the heat extraction tank group 201 absorbs heat, the heat supply component 3 also absorbs a portion of heat. The fourth power circulation pump 308, the second control main valve 309 and the fourth flow valve 310 are opened, and the third control main valve 311 is closed. The heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 is driven by the fourth power circulation pump 308 and passes through the first heat exchange outflow pipe section 3031 and the second heat exchange outflow pipe section 3032, and the heat exchange medium is distributed to the first heat exchange outflow branch pipe 304, the second heat exchange outflow branch pipe 305 and the third heat exchange outflow branch pipe 306. The heat outflow branch pipe 306: the heat exchange medium passes through the first heat outflow branch pipe 304 to the first heat exchanger 204 for heat absorption and heat exchange, passes through the second heat outflow branch pipe 305 to the second heat exchanger 205 for heat absorption and heat exchange, and passes through the third heat outflow branch pipe 306 to the third heat exchanger 206 for heat absorption and heat exchange. The heat exchange medium with increased temperature flows into the second heat inflow pipe 307 and then flows into the heat storage tank 301. The temperature of the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 is the fourth temperature.

[0054] (3) After the compressor stops working, when the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 drops and cannot reach the fourth temperature, the external heat source tank 312 provides heat as a supplement. At this time, the first control main valve 210, the fourth flow valve 310, the first control sub-valve 214, the second control sub-valve 215, and the third control sub-valve 216 are all in a closed state, the first power circulation pump 203 is closed, and the fourth control main valve 316 and the fifth flow valve 315 are opened, so that the heat exchange medium in the external heat source tank 312 enters the heat storage tank 301 through the heat inflow pipe 314, and the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 enters the external heat source tank 312 through the first heat exchange outflow pipe section 3031 and the heat inflow pipe 314, until the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 reaches the fourth temperature.

[0055] It should be noted that the first temperature range is 70°C-115°C, the second temperature range is 100°C-150°C, the third temperature range is 130°C-180°C, and the fourth temperature range is 80°C-160°C. The first, second, and third temperature values ​​are all different: the first temperature > the second temperature > the third temperature. On-site personnel can determine the specific values ​​of the first, second, third, and fourth temperatures based on actual needs. The heat exchange medium at the first temperature is used as a heat source for heating industrial parks and food disinfection (for example, the pharmaceutical industry uses heat around 100°C to rinse and disinfect packaging bottles to kill microorganisms on the bottle surface); the heat exchange medium at the second temperature is used as a heat source in the petrochemical, plastics processing, and rubber industries; and the heat exchange medium at the third temperature is used as a heat source in the chemical and electronics industries. Furthermore, when in the energy storage state, the external heat source tank 312 receives heat from an external source, such as a solar collector, a wind-heat unit, or industrial waste heat.

[0056] A control method for a thermally regulated compressed air energy storage system, in an energy release state, comprises the following steps:

[0057] (1) When the generator set needs to generate electricity, the first expander 501, the second expander 502 and the third expander 503 are started, and the normal temperature and high pressure gas in the gas storage tank 4 enters the first expander 501 through the first air inlet pipe 504. The fifth control main valve 324 and the second power circulation pump 325 are opened, and the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 enters the fourth heat exchanger 317 through the heat supply outflow main pipe 320 and the first heat supply outflow branch pipe 321. The normal temperature and high pressure gas in the first air inlet pipe 504 exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium in the fourth heat exchanger 317. The gas absorbs heat and heats up, enters the first expander 501, and drives the first expander 501 to generate electricity, and then cools down and reduces pressure. The heat exchange medium in the fourth heat exchanger 317, after releasing heat, flows back to the heat storage tank 301 through the heat supply inflow pipe 326;

[0058] The gas to be cooled passes through the first expander 501 and enters the second air inlet pipeline 505. The heat exchange medium in the heat supply outlet main pipe 320 enters the fifth heat exchanger 318 through the second heat supply outlet branch pipe 322. The gas in the second air inlet pipeline 505 exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium in the fifth heat exchanger 318. After absorbing heat and heating up again, the gas enters the second expander 502 to drive the second expander 502 to generate power, and then cools down and reduces the pressure. The heat exchange medium, which has released heat in the fifth heat exchanger 318, flows back to the heat storage tank 301 through the heat supply inlet pipeline 326.

[0059] The gas to be cooled passes through the second expander 502 and enters the third air inlet pipeline 506. The heat exchange medium in the heat supply outflow main pipe 320 enters the sixth heat exchanger 319 through the third heat supply outflow branch pipe 323. The gas in the third air inlet pipeline 506 exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium in the sixth heat exchanger 319. After absorbing heat and heating up again, the gas enters the third expander 503 to drive the third expander 503 to generate power, and then cools down and reduces the pressure. The heat exchange medium that has released heat in the sixth heat exchanger 319 flows back to the heat storage tank 301 through the heat supply inflow pipeline 326.

[0060] (2) When the heat storage tank 301 releases heat, the external heat source tank 312 also releases heat. The sixth control main valve 331, the third power circulation pump 332, the sixth flow valve 333, the seventh flow valve 334 and the eighth flow valve 335 are opened. The heat exchange medium in the external heat source tank 312 flows through the external heat outflow main pipe 327 and is distributed to the first external heat outflow branch pipe 328, the second external heat outflow branch pipe 329 and the third external heat outflow branch pipe 330. The heat exchange medium enters the external heat outflow branch pipe 328 through the first external heat outflow branch pipe The fourth heat exchanger 317 provides heat for the gas in the first air intake pipeline 504. The heat exchange medium enters the fifth heat exchanger 318 through the second external heat outflow branch 329 to provide heat for the gas in the second air intake pipeline 505. The heat exchange medium enters the sixth heat exchanger 319 through the third external heat outflow branch 330 to provide heat for the gas in the third air intake pipeline 506. After heat exchange, the heat exchange medium flows into the external heat inflow pipeline 336 and then flows back to the external heat source tank 312 through the external heat inflow pipeline 336.

[0061] (3) When the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 decreases after being used for a period of time, heat can be supplemented through the external heat source tank 312, and the fourth power circulation pump 308, the second control main valve 309, the fifth flow valve 315, and the fourth control main valve 316 are opened to allow the heat exchange medium in the external heat source tank 312 to enter the heat storage tank 301 through the heat inflow pipe 314, and the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 to enter the external heat source tank 312 through the first heat exchange outflow pipe section 3031 and the heat inflow pipe 314 until the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 reaches the fourth temperature;

[0062] (4) Under extreme conditions, when the heat in the heat storage tank 301 and the external heat source tank 312 is insufficient, the heat extraction tank group 201 needs to provide heat for the heat storage tank 301, close the fifth flow valve 315 and the fourth control main valve 316, open the fourth power circulation pump 308, the second control main valve 309, the fourth flow valve 310 and the third control main valve 311, and the heat exchange medium in the heat storage tank 301 flows out of the heat exchange outflow pipe 303 through the second four-way valve and is connected to a heat extraction tank (preferably the third heat extraction tank 2013) in the heat extraction tank group 201. The heat exchange medium in the heat extraction tank (preferably the third heat extraction tank 2013) enters the first heat exchange inflow pipe 302 through the third four-way valve, and then enters the heat storage tank 301 from the first heat exchange inflow pipe 302, thereby realizing heat exchange between the heat storage tank 301 and the heat extraction tank group 201.

[0063] It should be noted that the energy of the heat exchange medium in the external heat source tank 312 comes from wind energy, solar power generation, industrial waste heat, etc., and the temperature inside the external autoclave is higher than the temperature inside the heat storage tank 301. In addition, when in the energy release state, the external heat source tank 312 can receive heat such as industrial waste heat that is equal to or higher than the temperature inside the external heat source tank 312. Since the energy release state requires electrical energy, it can no longer receive heat converted from electrical energy, and instead receives industrial waste heat to supplement the heat.

[0064] The heat-regulating compressed air energy storage system and control method provided by the present invention have the following advantages: (1) in the energy storage state, the compressed air is heat-extracted, and the graded storage of the heat after heat extraction is realized. The different temperatures of the heat exchange medium in different heat extraction tanks are used as heat sources to be suitable for different scenarios; (2) in the energy storage process, part of the heat generated by the compressed air is transferred to the heat extraction tank group 201 and the other part is transferred to the heat storage tank 301, thereby realizing the maximum absorption of heat; (3) in the energy storage state, the external heat source tank 312 is used to absorb additional electrical energy from solar energy, wind energy, etc., and the heat extraction component 2 and the external heat source tank 312 cooperate to realize the maximum utilization of electrical energy; (4) after the energy storage is completed and before the energy release begins, when the heat in the heat storage tank 301 is not When the heat storage tank 301 is sufficient, the external heat source tank 312 provides heat to the heat storage tank 301 to prepare for the subsequent energy release; (5) During the energy release process, the heat storage tank 301 and the external heat source tank 312 jointly provide heat to the gas to ensure that the gas meets the temperature increase requirement in the process of pushing the expander to do work; (6) During the energy release process, after the heat storage tank 301 has been used for a period of time, the external heat source tank 312 provides heat to the heat storage tank 301, thereby maximizing the utilization of the heat in the external heat source tank 312; (7) During the energy release process, when the heat in the external heat source tank 312 is insufficient, the heat tank group 201 provides heat to the heat storage tank 301 to ensure that the heat in the heat storage tank 301 is sufficient, and the external heat source tank 312 does not accept external heat, so that the electric energy originally supplied to the external heat source tank 312 is first supplied to the power grid, thereby maximizing the saving of electric energy.

[0065] As an alternative embodiment, the number of compressors of the air compression assembly can also be two, four, five or even more, and the number of compressors and the number of heat extraction tanks are set in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0066] As an alternative embodiment, the number of expanders in the power generation component 5 can also be two, four, five or even more.

[0067] As an alternative embodiment, the heat exchange medium may also be other substances with heat conductive properties such as thermal oil and molten salt.

[0068] As an alternative embodiment, the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the third heat extraction tank 2013 is less than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012 and less than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011; or, the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the second heat extraction tank 2012 is greater than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the third heat extraction tank 2013 and greater than the temperature of the heat exchange medium in the first heat extraction tank 2011, etc. (since there are many combinations of the heat exchange medium temperatures in the three heat extraction tanks, in summary, the heat exchange medium temperatures in the three heat extraction tanks are different).
