[0045] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-5 The present application is further described in detail.
[0046] The base cooling capacity is the basic cooling capacity for ensuring the continuous operation of the core function in the regional cooling supply system, and the cooling demand thereof has long-term stability (the time scale is days or weeks), and is not affected by short-term load fluctuations (such as personnel flow and temporary start and stop of equipment) in hours. Application scenarios: focus on the core area of the park that runs continuously for 24 hours, such as data center rooms (server cooling demand is constant), medical refrigerators (low-temperature environment maintenance), emergency command centers (equipment continuous operation), and the like, and the cooling capacity release rate fluctuation is ≤5% / h, to ensure uninterrupted core functions.
[0047] The conventional operation cooling capacity is the main cooling capacity for supporting the daily main activities of the region, covering the non-extreme fluctuation of the cooling load during the day (such as 8:00-22:00), and is the “intermediate level cooling capacity” connecting the base cooling capacity and the terminal regulation cooling capacity. Application scenarios: suitable for office areas, commercial areas, cultural and sports venues, and the like, to meet the conventional environmental cooling demand and production cooling demand.
[0048] The terminal regulation cooling capacity is the fine-tuning cooling capacity for compensating short-term and small-amplitude load fluctuations (time scale is 15 minutes to 2 hours), and the core function thereof is to accurately correct the deviation between the conventional operation cooling capacity and the actual terminal demand, to ensure the cooling temperature precision. The fluctuation sources: mainly caused by temporarily activated equipment or environmental mutations, such as short-time gathering of personnel in the conference room (cooling demand increases by 10%-20%), sudden increase of the intensity of solar radiation in the afternoon (increased heat transfer of the peripheral structure), temporary start of process equipment (such as small cooling devices in the laboratory), and the like, and the terminal regulation cooling capacity can quickly offset such fluctuations, to avoid frequent start and stop of the conventional operation cooling capacity.
[0049] It can be seen that the cooling supply demand environment of the regional cooling supply system is complex. It is difficult to effectively supply cooling.
[0050] Embodiments of the present application disclose a regional cooling supply system based on a cold storage tank. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The application discloses a cold storage tank-based regional cooling supply system, which comprises a three-stage cold storage tank group 1, an intelligent prediction module 2, an optimization control module 3 and a cold storage execution unit 4. The three-stage cold storage tank group 1, the intelligent prediction module 2, the optimization control module 3 and the cold storage execution unit 4 are connected in communication with each other. The three-stage cold storage tank group 1 comprises a physically isolated deep cold tank 11, a medium cold tank 12 and a shallow cold tank 13. The medium cold tank 12 wraps the deep cold tank 11 to form a concentric structure, and a heat transfer integrated interface 5 is arranged between the deep cold tank 11 and the medium cold tank 12 to transfer residual cold. The medium cold tank 12 and the shallow cold tank 13 are jointly connected with a cold supplementing heat exchanger 6. The medium cold tank 12 and the shallow cold tank 13 are both wrapped with aerogel thermal insulation layers 7. The deep cold tank 11 has a cold storage temperature of -10 to -5 DEG C and is used for storing basic cold capacity. The medium cold tank 12 has a cold storage temperature of 0 to 4 DEG C and is used for storing regular operation cold capacity. The shallow cold tank 13 has a cold storage temperature of 4 to 8 DEG C and is used for storing terminal adjustment cold capacity. The intelligent prediction module 2 is used for acquiring park meteorological data, building data and historical load data, and outputting a park future 72-hour load curve and a load change rate through a preset load prediction model. The load prediction model is an LSTM neural network model obtained through historical data iterative training, and specific training steps are not described herein again. The optimization control module 3 is used for acquiring an electricity price policy of the park to determine a real-time electricity price of the park, collecting a real-time cold storage rate of the three-stage cold storage tank group 1, and calculating a global priority index P through a preset index calculation formula according to the real-time electricity price of the park, the real-time cold storage rate of the three-stage cold storage tank group 1 and the load change rate. The cold storage execution unit 4 is used for performing the following operations according to the global priority index P:
[0051] When P<0.4, the deep cold tank 11 is started to store cold, and the medium cold tank 12 synchronously absorbs residual cold of the interface of the deep cold tank 11;
[0052] When 0.4<=P<0.7, the medium cold tank 12 is started to store cold;
[0053] When P is greater than or equal to 0.7, the cold energy of the shallow cooling tank 13 is released, and when the cold energy of the shallow cooling tank 13 is insufficient, the medium cooling tank 12 is started to supplement cooling. The present application divides the regional cooling demand, and through the setting of the three-level cold storage tank group 1, the deep cooling tank 11, the medium cooling tank 12 and the shallow cooling tank 13 form a gradient cold storage temperature zone, realize layered cold storage, respectively adapt to long-term stable cold demand, daytime main cold demand, short-term fluctuation cold demand, the cold storage efficiency is improved significantly, avoid the waste of cold quality caused by single temperature zone cold storage (such as the irreversible loss caused by using-10℃ cold to supply 8℃ demand); and the heat transfer integrated interface 5 of the deep cooling tank 11 and the medium cooling tank 12 realizes directional transfer of excess cold, and the medium cooling tank 12 and the shallow cooling tank 13 form an emergency cold supplement channel through the cold supplement heat exchanger 6, further improve the cold storage efficiency on the basis of improving the cold storage efficiency, effectively improve the stability of the cold supply; at the same time, the intelligent prediction module 2 outputs the 72-hour load curve based on the LSTM model, so that the system can store cold in advance before the load peak, and avoid temporary insufficient cold supply; the optimization control module 3 calculates the global priority index P by combining the electricity price, the cold storage rate and the load change rate, drives the cold storage execution unit 4 to automatically switch modes, greatly improves the response efficiency of the cold supply system to load mutation, and ensures the dynamic balance of supply and demand.
[0054] The specific index calculation formula is:
[0055] ;
[0056] ;
[0057] ;
[0058] wherein, is the normalized electricity price, is the real-time electricity price of the park, and are the maximum value and the minimum value of the current electricity price interval of the park, respectively; is the real-time cold storage rate of the three-level cold storage tank group 1, is the real-time cold storage amount of the three-level cold storage tank group 1, is the maximum cold storage amount of the three-level cold storage tank group 1; is the load change rate, representing the fluctuation speed of user cooling load, positive value indicating load rise, negative value indicating load drop. Through the setting of the index calculation formula, the current electricity price of the park is mainly weighted, the electricity price is normalized, the coupling of electricity price, cold storage state and load fluctuation is realized, the economy, system state and demand urgency are quantified as a unified index P, the balance between cost minimization and cooling reliability is realized, and the cooling system forms a closed loop optimization in economy, response speed and reliability. It should be noted that the electricity price policy is different in different regions. For example, in the region with large peak-valley electricity price difference, such as industrial and commercial park, the peak electricity price is more than 3 times the valley electricity price, and the electricity cost difference is large. If fixed period cold storage is adopted, it is difficult to respond to the adjustment of regional electricity price policy, which may lead to insufficient cold storage. By normalizing the electricity price, the maximum utilization of valley electricity is ensured by responding to the change of electricity price in real time. There is also a region with short peak electricity price period and high price (such as the core area of first-tier city, 1-2 hours / day, 2 times the peak electricity price), and the electricity cost difference is larger. Due to the lack of prediction of short peak period, the existing technology is forced to start the unit during the peak period due to the lag of response, and the closed loop of pre-storage before peak, release and storage during peak, and energy supplement after peak is realized by normalizing the electricity price and linking with load prediction, which perfectly adapts to the short peak policy.
[0059] There are also some step electricity price regions with step electricity price (limiting total electricity consumption). The price of different electricity consumption is different in this region. When the monthly electricity consumption is close to the step threshold, the load prediction is higher than the current stage margin, and it will be dynamically corrected due to the risk of potential high electricity price (high price of the second step), even if the current electricity price is still low, it will be increased, which may cause the unified index P to increase by 0.4-0.7. At this time, the current step margin will be used to preferentially store cold in the cold tank 12 to reduce immediate electricity purchase. The main reason is that the deep cold tank 11 stores the base cold of-10 to-5℃, which requires the refrigeration unit to provide a lower evaporation temperature (usually ≤-12℃), and the coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigeration unit decreases significantly with the decrease of evaporation temperature (such as-12℃, COP is about 3.0, which is much lower than 4.5 at 0℃). That is, when storing the same amount of cold, the power consumption of the deep cold tank 11 is about 30%-40% higher than that of the medium cold tank 12. At this time, the cost is balanced by sacrificing the cooling quality, which further highlights the superiority of the index calculation formula and the dynamic balance control ability.
[0060] In addition, in order to further improve the response speed of load mutation, when the load change rate is greater than 0.5% / h, the P value weight is automatically adjusted as follows:
[0061] ;
[0062] and when P≥0.65, the shallow cold tank 13 is started to store cold 2 hours in advance. The exponential calculation formula realizes adaptive regulation and control of the economy in the conventional scene and the response in the fluctuation scene by presetting the weight and correcting the weight when the load suddenly changes, and further improves the response efficiency of the cooling system to the load mutation. In addition, under the condition of large fluctuation, although the phase change material (PCM) of the shallow cold tank 13 has the characteristics of rapid cold storage and release, the cold storage process needs a certain time. When P≥0.65, it often corresponds to the period when the power consumption peak is about to enter, at this time, starting the shallow cold tank 13 to store cold in advance can concentrate the cold storage power consumption in the relatively low electricity price preparation period, quickly respond to the surge of load, avoid the lag of cooling, and at the same time avoid the cold storage operation in the load peak period, and improve the stability of the system.
[0063] It should be emphasized that the functional positioning of the shallow cold tank 13 determines the cold storage mode. The core function of the shallow cold tank 13 is to store end regulation cold, which is used to compensate for short-term and small-amplitude load fluctuations. Its design capacity is usually small, which is 30%-50% of the intermediate cold tank 12 in this embodiment, and the cold demand has instantaneity. Therefore, the cold storage of the shallow cold tank 13 is a see-saw type supplement in the system operation, avoiding occupying the core cold storage resources (such as preferentially guaranteeing the deep cold tank 11 in the valley electricity period). When P<0.4, the deep cold tank 11 stores the base cold through ice slurry, and the intermediate cold tank 12 absorbs the excess cold of the deep cold tank 11 through the heat transfer integrated interface 5. When the intermediate cold tank 12 is full of cold through the excess cold, the excess cold will be further transferred to the shallow cold tank 13 through the cold supplement heat exchanger 6, so that it is passively stored. When the intermediate cold tank is directly stored and full, the excess cold will be further transferred to the shallow cold tank 13 through the cold supplement heat exchanger 6, so that it is passively stored. When the cold storage rate N q of the shallow cold tank 13 is less than the preset cold supplement threshold, and is in the valley electricity idle period, the small-power refrigeration equipment in the cooling system can also be started to actively store cold.
[0064] Referring to Figure 3 , the above-mentioned starting of the intermediate cold tank 12 to supplement cold when the cold of the shallow cold tank 13 is insufficient specifically includes the following steps:
[0065] A1, the optimization control module 3 collects the cold storage rate N q of the shallow cold tank 13 and the global priority index P in real time, and when P≥0.7 and N q is less than the preset cold supplement threshold, the cold supplement program is started; the cold supplement threshold is set by the management personnel, which is 30% in this embodiment;
[0066] A2, control the pre-set glycol water solution circulating pump to send the glycol water solution in the intermediate cold tank 12 into the cold supplement heat exchanger 6 to circulate and preheat for 10 minutes, so as to reduce the pipe temperature in the cold supplement heat exchanger 6;
[0067] A3, the glycol water solution of the intermediate cold tank 12 is sent into the cold supplement heat exchanger 6 to exchange heat with the end loop of the shallow cold tank 13.
[0068] A4、When P < 0.6 and N q Normal termination of the cold supplement program when the cold storage threshold is greater than the preset cold storage threshold;
[0069] A5, when the cold supplement lasts more than 2 hours and the cold storage rate of the shallow cold tank 13 is still less than the preset cold supplement threshold, start the cold storage of the deep cold tank 11 and supplement the cold of the medium cold tank 12 through the heat transfer integrated interface 5, and issue a fault alarm. Through the above steps, when the cold storage rate of the shallow cold tank 13 is insufficient during the cold release process using the shallow cold tank 13, the medium cold tank 12 is supplemented to ensure stable cold supply. At the same time, the ethylene glycol solution in the medium cold tank 12 is circulated and preheated for 10 minutes during the cold supplement, reducing the temperature difference impact of the cold supplement heat exchanger 6 pipeline, protecting the equipment while improving the heat exchange efficiency. And when the cold supplement lasts more than 2 hours and the cold storage rate of the shallow cold tank 13 is still less than the preset cold supplement threshold, start the cold storage of the deep cold tank 11 and supplement the cold of the medium cold tank 12 through the heat transfer interface, forming a three-level guarantee of medium cold tank 12 main supplement, deep cold tank 11 emergency supplement and fault warning, avoiding the depletion of cold energy of the medium cold tank 12 due to continuous cold supplement, greatly reducing the risk probability of cold supply interruption.
[0070] Further, with reference to Figure 4 , the outer wall of the deep cold tank 11 adopts a stainless steel base layer 111, the stainless steel base layer 111 is S30408 austenitic stainless steel, the thickness is 8-12mm, and it is resistant to low-temperature corrosion and suitable for deep cold environment. The inner wall of the medium cold tank 12 adopts a low-alloy high-strength steel base layer 121 to improve the structural strength. The outer walls of the medium cold tank 12 and the shallow cold tank 13 both adopt a composite structure of a carbon steel base layer 131 and a polyurethane foam insulation layer 132, the density of the polyurethane foam insulation layer 132 is 30-50kg / m³, and the closed cell rate is ≥95%. Both structural stability and insulation performance are considered, cold loss through the tank wall is reduced, and the temperature in the tank is maintained stable.
[0071] With reference to Figure 4 , the aerogel insulation layer 7 includes a first SiO2 aerogel layer 71, a carbon fiber grid reinforcement layer 72 and a second SiO2 aerogel layer 73 arranged in sequence, the density of the first SiO2 aerogel layer 71 and the second SiO2 aerogel layer 73 is 150-200kg / m³, the thermal conductivity is ≤0.018W / (m·K), and the areal density of the carbon fiber grid reinforcement layer 72 is 200-300g / m². The overall cold loss of the medium cold tank 12 and the shallow cold tank 13 is reduced, the temperature in the tank is maintained stable, and the insulation performance of the medium cold tank 12 and the shallow cold tank 13 is enhanced.
[0072] Further, the deep cooling tank 11 contains ice slurry cold storage medium, the ice crystal volume fraction of the ice slurry is 20%-40%, the average particle size of the ice crystal is ≤500μm; the cold storage density is high, and it is suitable for basic cold storage. The medium temperature tank 12 contains glycol water solution, the mass concentration of the glycol water solution is 20%-30%, and the freezing point is ≤-10℃; low-temperature freezing is avoided, and it is suitable for conventional cold storage. The shallow cooling tank 13 contains paraffin-based phase change material, and the phase change temperature is 5 degrees Celsius. The phase change temperature matches the terminal demand, the cold release is stable, it is suitable for terminal adjustment, the cold storage medium and the function of each tank are accurately matched, and the cold storage and cold release efficiency are improved.
