[0002] my country's construction sector currently accounts for approximately one-third of the nation's total carbon emissions. Air conditioning and heating account for 30-40% of total building energy consumption, while domestic hot water contributes approximately 20%. Selecting efficient, clean energy sources to reduce building carbon emissions is crucial for the construction industry to achieve its dual carbon goals.

[0003] Currently, various energy-consuming equipment and clean energy sources in the construction industry have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the increase in temperature during the power generation process of solar cell modules will significantly reduce the output performance of photovoltaic modules. Studies have shown that the output power decreases by 0.35% to 0.4% for every 1°C increase in temperature, and it will accelerate the aging of battery modules. The operating efficiency of air-source heat pump water heaters is significantly affected by operating conditions and the outdoor environment. During the operation of ground-source heat pump units, the heat discharged into the soil in summer is usually greater than the heat absorbed from the soil in winter. To ensure soil thermal balance, some units are usually equipped with separate cooling towers, which not only increases investment but also reduces unit efficiency.

[0004] The existing clean energy sources cannot be fully utilized, and the existing energy-consuming equipment has low energy efficiency, which affects the utilization efficiency of clean energy. Summary of the Invention

Due to the low outdoor temperature in winter, the energy efficiency of the air source heat pump water heater is very low.

[0043] This zero-carbon building multi-energy complementary system achieves efficient energy utilization by integrating technologies such as ground-source heat pumps, photovoltaic thermal energy, and air-source heat pumps. The functions and beneficial effects of each component are as follows:

[0044] The ground-source heat pump unit 1 is the core energy conversion device, using a buried heat exchanger to extract low-level heat from the soil to provide cooling / heating for air conditioning and domestic hot water. Its high efficiency and stability reduce the energy consumption of traditional air conditioning and achieve zero-carbon utilization of geothermal energy.

[0045] Photovoltaic solar panels directly power the system and cool the panels through the fourth circulation loop, improving power generation efficiency while recovering waste heat. The overall efficiency is greatly improved, realizing the coordinated utilization of solar energy "photovoltaic-photothermal".

[0046] The hot water tank has 3 thermal energy storage centers and a built-in heat exchanger to achieve: ground source heat pump heat storage, photovoltaic waste heat recovery, air source heat pump auxiliary heating and multiple heat sources complement each other to ensure 24-hour hot water supply. The water tank temperature stratification design greatly improves thermal efficiency.

[0047] The air-source heat pump water heater 4 can provide auxiliary heating during extreme weather or high load conditions. It complements the ground-source heat pump to address winter soil thermal imbalance. This patented system utilizes clean energy sources such as geothermal, solar, and air energy to create a multi-energy complementary system. This system ensures full utilization of all clean energy sources while effectively reducing energy consumption across the building's energy-consuming equipment.

[0048] The underground heat exchanger 9 and the ground source heat pump form a closed loop to achieve heat exchange between the soil and the building. The underground soil temperature is stable, which is more energy-efficient than air source heat pumps.

[0049] Intelligent distribution function of the water distributor system: dynamic distribution between the first water distributor 11, the second water distributor 12 and the air conditioning water system; cyclic switching between photovoltaic cooling and ground source heat pump between the third water distributor 13 and the fourth water distributor 14; automatic switching between 8 operating modes achieved by electric valve linkage control, greatly improving the system energy efficiency.

[0050] The pump group adjusts the flow rate of each circuit according to the load. The constant pressure water supply system maintains stable system pressure to prevent cavitation, extend equipment life, and ensure safe system operation.

[0051] The ground source heat pump unit 1 is connected to form a first circulation loop, which discharges indoor heat into the soil to lower the indoor temperature in summer, and extracts heat energy for heating and domestic hot water in winter; the ground source heat pump unit 1 forms a second circulation loop, which provides cooling in summer and heating in winter for users; the ground source heat pump unit 1 is connected to form a third circulation loop. The lower the outdoor ambient temperature, the lower the energy efficiency of the air source heat pump hot water unit 4. Relying entirely on the air source heat pump hot water unit 4 to provide domestic hot water greatly increases the energy consumption of the building. The ground source heat pump unit 1 is used to preheat the domestic hot water, reducing the use of the inefficient air source heat pump hot water unit 4 and maintaining the thermal balance of the soil. Usually in areas with hot summers and cold winters, since the heat dissipation in summer is greater than the heat absorption in winter, the ground source heat pump unit 1 needs to add a cooling tower to dissipate heat in summer. The present invention avoids the occurrence of this problem and reduces the energy consumption of domestic hot water supply in winter.

[0052] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic solar panel 2 and the ground-mounted heat exchanger 9 form a fourth circulation loop. When the temperature of the photovoltaic solar panel 2 exceeds 25°C during summer power generation, the circulating water pump 8 is activated to dissipate heat from the solar panel, improving the output performance of the photovoltaic solar panel 2. This simultaneously replenishes heat from the soil for winter air conditioning and domestic hot water, ensuring soil thermal balance while increasing the photovoltaic solar panel's power generation. The electricity generated by the photovoltaic solar panel 2 is used by electrical equipment such as the ground-source heat pump unit 1 and the air-source heat pump water heater unit 4.

[0053] In this embodiment, the air source heat pump water heater unit 4 is connected with the hot water tank 3 and the water pump 5 to form a fifth circulation loop. In summer, the air source heat pump water heater unit 4 is used to heat the domestic hot water in the hot water tank 3, and electricity is efficiently converted into thermal energy. The ground source heat pump unit 1 forms a third circulation loop. In winter, the temperature meter in the hot water tank 3 is combined to control the water tank heating heat source. When the temperature of the domestic hot water in the hot water tank 3 is lower than 40°C, the ground source heat pump unit 1 is started to form a third circulation loop through the pipeline with the heat exchanger 10 to preheat the domestic hot water. When the temperature of the domestic hot water in the hot water tank 3 is higher than 40°C and lower than 55°C, the air source heat pump water heater unit 4 is started to connect with the hot water tank 3 and the water pump 5 to form a fifth circulation loop to heat the domestic hot water in the hot water tank 3 to 55°C.

[0054] In this embodiment, the hot water tank 3 is connected with the domestic hot water supply and domestic hot water return to form a sixth circulation loop, providing the domestic hot water required for the user's daily life.

[0055] In this embodiment, the water distributor (collector) (11-14) is connected to the constant pressure water supply system to replenish water and stabilize the pressure of the system.

[0056] In this embodiment, the hot water supply tank 3 is connected to the tap water supply to supply domestic hot water.

[0057] Innovative technical effects of this invention:

[0058] Multi-energy synergy: Through the triple energy coupling of photovoltaic power generation + solar thermal recovery + ground source / air source heat pump, the comprehensive energy utilization rate is greatly improved.

[0059] Intelligent control: Based on temperature / load sensor data, it automatically switches between multiple working modes, such as photovoltaic priority cooling in summer and ground source heat pump dominance in winter.

[0060] Zero-carbon operation: The proportion of renewable energy has increased significantly, greatly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional systems.

[0061] The system of the present invention can greatly reduce the overall energy consumption of the building, greatly reduce the energy consumption of domestic hot water, and greatly increase the proportion of photovoltaic self-used electricity.

[0062] The patented invention utilizes clean energy such as geothermal energy, solar energy, and air energy to form a multi-energy complementary system, which ensures the full utilization of each clean energy source and effectively reduces the energy consumption of various energy-consuming equipment in the building.

[0063] The multi-energy complementary comprehensive utilization system based on zero-carbon buildings of the present invention realizes multiple complementary energy supply modes of solar energy, geothermal energy and air energy, improves the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic solar panels, and at the same time improves the utilization efficiency of geothermal energy and solar energy by supplementing geothermal energy. Since the outdoor temperature is low in winter, the energy efficiency of the air source heat pump water heater unit is very low. Using the ground source heat pump unit to preheat domestic hot water effectively reduces the energy consumption of domestic hot water heating.
