Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clean energy heating, and in particular to a multi-energy coupling heating system and a heating and heat storage method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a major energy consumer and emitter, the heating sector has clearly required a significant increase in the proportion of renewable energy in heating, gradually replacing loose coal and high-energy-consuming traditional heating methods, and encouraging multi-energy complementarity to break through the limitations of single clean energy technology.

[0003] However, using a single clean energy source for heating still faces significant challenges. Shallow geothermal energy has high initial investment, and the cost of buried pipe engineering accounts for a large proportion. Limited by soil thermal properties, hydrogeological conditions, and available site area, its applicability is limited in areas with hard rock, limited underground space, or poor soil thermal conductivity. There is also the risk of imbalance between cold and hot loads. In areas where heating is the primary source of heat, long-term heating may cause soil temperature to drop year by year, reducing system energy efficiency and necessitating additional heating measures. Air-source heat pumps (air energy) experience low-temperature performance degradation. When ambient temperatures fall below -10°C, heating capacity and energy efficiency drop significantly, especially in the extremely cold northern regions. Heating needs must be met with increased energy consumption. Evaporators are prone to frost in low-temperature, high-humidity environments, and frequent defrosting interrupts heating and consumes additional energy. Solar thermal systems are significantly affected by day and night, season, and weather, and are intermittent and unstable, unable to provide a continuous and stable heat source. Large-capacity heat storage or auxiliary heat sources are required. Furthermore, in cold seasons, solar radiation is weak, daylight is short, and heat collection efficiency is low, which conflicts with peak heating demand.

[0004] The above-mentioned problems of single clean energy technology make it difficult to efficiently meet the actual needs of rural heating in the northwest region. It is urgent to break through the technical and economic bottlenecks through multi-energy coupling. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The present invention discloses a heating and heat storage method for a multi-energy coupling heating system, which is applied to the above-mentioned multi-energy coupling heating system and includes a winter heating mode and a summer heat storage mode;

[0022] In the winter heating mode, the geothermal energy utilization module is used as the basis for supplying heat to the user side, the solar energy utilization module selectively supplements heat for the geothermal energy utilization module, and the air energy utilization module supplements heat when the energy supply is insufficient;

Addressing the high initial investment, geological constraints, and imbalanced cooling and heating loads associated with shallow geothermal energy, this invention utilizes solar energy to supplement heating of the ground-source circulating medium, reducing reliance on buried pipes for heat extraction and lowering project costs. Furthermore, by storing heat in the underground rock and soil during summer, it maintains soil thermal balance and prevents system energy efficiency degradation.

[0036] This invention addresses issues such as low-temperature performance degradation and frosting and defrosting energy consumption associated with air-source heat pumps. By using it as a supplemental heat source, it is activated only when geothermal and solar energy are insufficient, reducing operating time in low-temperature environments and, through support from other energy sources, reducing the frequency of frosting and defrosting. To address issues such as the intermittent nature of solar thermal systems and low winter efficiency, this invention utilizes energy storage tanks to store heat, using geothermal and air energy as a stable supplement, while also utilizing solar PV / T modules to generate electricity, thereby increasing energy self-sufficiency and alleviating reliance on auxiliary heat sources.

[0059] The heating and heat storage method of the multi-energy coupling heating system provided by the present invention is applied to the above-mentioned multi-energy coupling heating system, and is characterized in that it includes a winter heating mode and a summer heat storage mode;

[0060] In winter heating mode, the geothermal energy utilization module is used as the basis to supply heat to the user side 7, the solar energy utilization module selectively supplements heat to the geothermal energy utilization module, and the air energy utilization module supplements heat when the energy supply is insufficient;

[0061] In the summer heat storage mode, heating to the user side 7 is stopped, and heat is collected by the solar energy utilization module and stored underground through the geothermal heat exchanger of the geothermal energy utilization module to maintain the thermal balance of the soil;

[0062] The electricity generated by the solar energy utilization module is used to power system equipment and replenish the heat of the energy storage tank 13.

[0063] In the above embodiment, preferably, the winter heating mode specifically includes:

[0064] The control module starts the geothermal energy utilization module first, and the geothermal heat exchanger supplies energy to the geothermal heat pump unit 2 through the ground source side circulation loop, and the geothermal heat pump unit 2 supplies heat to the user side 7 through the heating loop;

[0065] When the temperature of the solar PT component 12 and the solar PV / T component 11 reaches a first preset value, heat is transferred to the energy storage tank 13 through the first heat energy circulation loop and the second heat energy circulation loop; when the temperature of the energy storage tank 13 reaches a second preset value, the ground source side circulating medium is controlled to be heated by the energy storage tank 13 before entering the ground source heat pump unit 2;

[0066] When the geothermal energy supply of the geothermal energy utilization module is insufficient, the control module starts the air source heat pump unit 8 to provide supplementary heating to the user side 7.

[0067] In the above embodiment, preferably, the conditions for starting the air source heat pump unit 8 are: the geothermal energy utilization module is insufficiently supplied with energy, and the outlet temperature of the air energy utilization module is lower than the third preset value;

[0068] When the air source heat pump unit 8 is shut down and its outlet temperature is lower than the fourth preset value, the air source heat pump unit 8 is controlled to start the antifreeze and heating mode.

[0069] In the above embodiment, preferably, the summer heat storage mode specifically includes:

[0070] The control module cuts off the heat supply cycle between the geothermal energy utilization module and the user side 7, and the solar energy utilization module transfers heat to the energy storage tank 13 through the first heat energy circulation loop and the second heat energy circulation loop;

[0071] When the temperature of the energy storage tank 13 reaches the fifth preset value, the first circulation pump 5 on the ground source side is started, so that the heat in the energy storage tank 13 is transported to the geothermal heat exchanger through the ground source side circulation loop to store heat in the underground rock and soil.

[0072] Example 1:

[0073] In winter operation mode:

[0074] The first electric valve 6 automatically opens, and the circulating medium in the buried pipe directly enters the evaporator 2-1 of the ground-source heat pump unit 2, serving as a heat source. When the temperature of the first temperature sensor 18 and the second temperature sensor 19 reaches 30°C (adjustable), the control module turns on the third circulating pump 21 and the fourth circulating pump 22, respectively. At this time, the solar PV / T module 11 and the solar PT module 12 absorb solar radiation heat energy and heat the water in the energy storage tank 13 through the intermediate medium.

[0075] When the water in the energy storage tank 13 is heated to 15°C as measured by the third temperature sensor 20, the first electric valve 6 automatically closes and adjusts (the opening of the first electric valve 6 changes with the temperature of the circulating medium entering the evaporator 2-1 of the ground-source heat pump unit 2, and the temperature of the circulating water entering the evaporator 2-1 is always kept below 25°C). At this time, the circulating medium in the buried pipe driven by the first circulation pump 5 enters the energy storage tank 13 and is heated, and then enters the evaporator 2-1 of the ground-source heat pump unit 2, completing the ground-source side heat extraction cycle of solar-assisted heating.

[0076] The solar PV / T assembly 11 generates DC power while receiving solar radiation energy to generate heat. Part of the generated DC power is used to heat the circulating medium in the energy storage tank 13 through the DC heater 14 to supplement the heat of the energy storage tank 13. The DC heater 14 (power 7.5kW) operates for 2 to 3 hours in winter (optional). The other part passes through the junction box 15 and then the inverter 16 to convert the DC power into AC power and store it in the power storage device 17. The power stored in the power storage device 17 is used to ensure the power required by the third circulation pump 21 and the fourth circulation pump 22. The remaining power can be used for the first circulation pump 5 in the system. When the power is insufficient, it can also be connected to the power grid for free conversion.

[0077] The system prioritizes putting the ground source heat pump unit 2 into operation. When the heat cannot meet the requirements, the air source heat pump unit 8 is put into operation. When the outlet water temperature of the air source heat pump unit 8 is lower than 50°C (settable), the air source heat pump unit 8 is started. If the heat meets the requirements, the air source heat pump unit 8 is shut down first, and the second electric valve 9 is closed at the same time. When the air source heat pump unit 8 is in the unloaded shutdown state and it is monitored that the outlet water temperature of the air source heat pump unit 8 is lower than 7°C, the air source heat pump unit 8 automatically turns on the antifreeze mode and the second electric valve 9 automatically opens; at this time, the air source heat pump unit 8 starts to supplement the heat to the heating system to ensure that the indoor temperature on the user side 7 meets the design requirements.

[0078] In summer operation mode:

[0079] When the first electric valve 6 is closed, the solar PV / T module 11 and the solar PT module 12 absorb solar radiation energy and generate heat energy, causing the module temperature to rise. When the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor 18 and the second temperature sensor 19 reaches 40°C, the third circulation pump 21 and the fourth circulation pump 22 are turned on to use the heat energy generated by the solar radiation energy to heat the water in the energy storage tank 13;

[0080] When the temperature of the third temperature sensor 20 reaches 30°C (optional), the first circulation pump 5 is started to transport the heat energy of the energy storage tank 13 to the double U-shaped buried pipe heat exchanger 1 through the circulating medium, and supplement heat to the underground rock and soil to form an underground "heat storage"; for every 1°C increase in the operating temperature of the solar PV / T component 11, the power generation efficiency will decrease by 0.3% to 0.5%, and the maximum temperature shall not exceed 40°C. That is, no matter which of the first temperature sensor 18 or the third temperature sensor 20 reaches the set temperature first, the first circulation pump 5 must be started to transport the heat to the buried pipe heat exchange system for heat storage, which is a double protection for the power generation efficiency of the solar PV / T component 11.

[0081] The solar PV / T assembly 11 generates DC power at the same time as generating heat energy. Part of the generated DC power is used to heat the circulating medium in the energy storage tank 13 through the DC heater 14 to supplement the heat of the energy storage tank 13. The DC heater 14 (power 7.5kW) operates for 3 to 4 hours in summer (optional). The other part of the DC power passes through the junction box 15, and then is converted into AC power by the inverter 16 and stored in the power storage device 17. The power stored in the power storage device 17 is used to supply the power required by the first circulating pump 5, the second circulating pump 10 and the third circulating pump 21, thereby reducing the system's consumption of municipal power grid energy.

[0082] Advantages of the present invention:

[0083] This invention effectively overcomes the technical and economic bottlenecks of single clean energy sources in heating applications by integrating shallow geothermal energy, air energy, and solar energy. Addressing the high initial investment, geological constraints, and imbalanced cooling and heating loads associated with shallow geothermal energy, this invention utilizes solar energy to supplement heating of the ground-source circulating medium, reducing reliance on buried pipes for heat extraction and lowering project costs. Furthermore, by storing heat in the underground rock and soil during summer, it maintains soil thermal balance and prevents system energy efficiency degradation.

[0084] The present invention solves problems such as the attenuation of low-temperature performance and the energy consumption of frosting and defrosting in air-source heat pumps. It uses it as a supplementary heat source, starting only when geothermal and solar energy are insufficient, reducing its operating time in low-temperature environments and reducing the frequency of frosting and defrosting through the support of other energy sources. To address the intermittent nature of solar thermal systems and their low winter efficiency, the present invention utilizes an energy storage tank 13 to store heat, using geothermal and air energy as a stable supplement, while also utilizing solar PV / T modules 11 to generate electricity, thereby increasing energy self-sufficiency and alleviating reliance on auxiliary heat sources.

[0085] As shown in Table 1, the present invention achieves deep coupling utilization of clean energy in terms of benefits. Solar energy dominates daytime energy supply, geothermal energy provides basic load, and air energy supplements demand during low-temperature periods, achieving 24-hour coverage. In terms of economy, government subsidies reduce initial investment pressure, the energy free rate exceeds 70%, and the operating cost is extremely low. Peak and valley electricity price optimization can be used to further reduce expenditure. In terms of environmental protection, the annual carbon reduction exceeds 450 tons (based on a heating area of ​​10,000 m2), with zero pollution emissions, no SO2, and no NO x and dust emissions, solve the pain points of haze, protect soil ecology, maintain soil thermal balance, and avoid soil cold accumulation and degradation caused by traditional ground source systems.
