[0056] The following sections provide detailed descriptions of each example. It should be noted that the order in which the embodiments are described is not intended to limit the priority of the embodiments.
[0057] This application provides a temperature regulation method based on a phase change energy storage system, comprising: storing energy through a phase change energy storage system during off-peak hours in a commercial building; the phase change energy storage system employing multi-type phase change materials for layered encapsulation, with different types of phase change materials corresponding to different phase change temperature ranges; obtaining the temperature regulation requirements corresponding to different areas within the commercial building; determining the type, quantity, and deployment location of the required phase change units for each area based on a dynamic deployment algorithm using artificial intelligence, according to the temperature regulation requirements and the phase change temperature characteristics of the multi-type phase change materials; and controlling the phase change energy storage system to regulate the temperature of each area through the phase change units during peak hours in the commercial building, based on the temperature regulation requirements.
[0058] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic flowchart of a temperature regulation method based on a phase change energy storage system provided in this application embodiment. The temperature regulation method based on a phase change energy storage system provided in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:
[0059] S1. During off-peak hours in commercial buildings, energy is stored through a phase change energy storage system, wherein the phase change energy storage system uses multiple types of phase change materials for layered encapsulation, and different types of phase change materials correspond to different phase change temperature ranges;
[0060] Specifically, for step S1, during off-peak hours, such as nighttime or periods of low electricity demand, a phase change energy storage system is used to store energy. The phase change energy storage system is designed to employ multiple types of phase change materials, and these materials are layered and encapsulated. Each phase change material has a different phase change temperature range to function under different temperature conditions. For example, some phase change materials may undergo a phase change and store energy at lower temperatures, while others are suitable for higher temperature ranges. Through layered encapsulation, these materials with different phase change temperature characteristics can be effectively managed and utilized to meet the diverse temperature control needs that may exist in different areas of a commercial building during peak hours.
[0061] S2. Obtain the temperature control requirements for different areas within a commercial building;
[0062] Specifically, in step S2, real-time environmental information, such as current temperature and humidity, is collected from various areas within the commercial building using various sensors and monitoring devices. Simultaneously, the target temperature for each area needs to be obtained. This target temperature can be pre-set based on the building's functional requirements, occupant comfort needs, and relevant energy management strategies. Based on the aforementioned real-time environmental information and target temperatures, the specific temperature control requirements for each area during peak hours are analyzed and determined, including the amount of temperature increase or decrease needed.
[0063] S3. Based on artificial intelligence, a dynamic deployment algorithm determines the type, quantity, and deployment location of phase change units required in each region according to temperature control requirements and the phase change temperature characteristics of various types of phase change materials.
[0064] Specifically, for step S3, artificial intelligence algorithms are used to comprehensively consider factors such as the temperature regulation requirements of each region and the phase change temperature characteristics of various types of phase change materials in the phase change energy storage system. Through calculation and analysis using artificial intelligence algorithms, the most suitable type of phase change unit is determined for each region, the specific number of phase change units required is calculated, and the optimal deployment location of the phase change units within the building is planned. For example, for regions requiring a larger temperature reduction, more phase change units with specific low-temperature phase change materials are allocated and deployed in key locations within that region to achieve the best temperature regulation effect.
[0065] S4. During peak hours in commercial buildings, based on the aforementioned temperature control requirements, the phase change energy storage system is controlled to use the stored energy to regulate the temperature of each area through the phase change unit;
[0066] Specifically, for step S4, during peak hours, when temperature regulation is required in various areas of the commercial building, the phase change units in the phase change energy storage system are activated based on the previously determined temperature control needs. The phase change units utilize the energy stored during off-peak hours, releasing or absorbing heat through the phase change process of the phase change material, thereby regulating the temperature of each area. For example, for areas requiring cooling, the phase change material undergoes a phase change process such as solidification to release cooling energy; for areas requiring heating, a phase change process such as melting occurs to absorb and release heat, achieving precise temperature regulation.
[0067] In specific embodiments, an integrated intelligent control system can automatically monitor and adjust the operation of the phase change energy storage system to respond to real-time environmental changes and temperature regulation requirements. This includes automatically adjusting the heating and cooling processes of the phase change material and intelligently scheduling the deployment of phase change units.
[0068] As can be seen, the temperature regulation method based on phase change energy storage system provided in this embodiment stores energy using a phase change energy storage system with multi-type phase change materials layered and encapsulated during off-peak hours. It combines artificial intelligence dynamic deployment algorithms to accurately determine the configuration and deployment of phase change units, and efficiently utilizes the stored energy for temperature regulation during peak hours. This achieves rational energy utilization, reduces costs, and enables precise and comfortable control of the indoor environment. It solves the problems of low energy utilization, slow temperature regulation speed, and inaccurate temperature control in traditional commercial building temperature regulation methods during peak hours, thereby improving the energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality of commercial buildings.
[0069] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the phase change energy storage system includes multiple phase change units and a central phase change energy storage unit. The multiple types of phase change materials in the central phase change energy storage unit adopt a layered encapsulation structure, and the phase change temperature ranges of different types of phase change materials do not overlap. The phase change unit is a portable phase change unit used to carry the multiple types of phase change materials.
[0070] Specifically, the phase change energy storage system in this embodiment consists of multiple phase change units and a central phase change energy storage unit. The phase change units are portable phase change units, offering excellent flexibility and mobility, enabling rapid deployment to different areas of a commercial building based on temperature control needs. The central phase change energy storage unit is the core of the entire system, responsible for storing large amounts of energy during off-peak hours. Its internal multi-type phase change materials are layered and encapsulated according to different phase change temperature ranges, ensuring that each material can efficiently store and release energy within a specific temperature range. Through layered encapsulation technology, phase change materials with different temperature ranges are arranged orderly within the central unit, allowing the system to provide precise energy support for the diverse temperature requirements of different areas within the commercial building. For example, some areas may require cooling at lower temperatures, while others require heating at higher temperatures. The non-overlapping phase change temperature ranges ensure that the phase change materials function effectively within their respective operating ranges, avoiding mutual interference and energy waste.
[0071] In specific embodiments, the container for the portable phase change material is made of high-strength, lightweight metal or engineering plastic materials. The shape of the container can be designed according to the actual application scenario, commonly including cubes, cylinders, or cuboids, with dimensions generally customized based on the amount of phase change material used and the required deployment space. For example, a small portable phase change material can be designed as a cube with a length, width, and height of approximately 30 cm each, used for temperature control in localized areas; a large portable phase change material can be a cube with a length, width, and height of approximately 1 meter each, suitable for temperature control needs in larger spaces. The container's structural design needs to ensure sufficient sealing and pressure resistance to prevent phase change material leakage and ensure that the container can withstand the pressure generated by the volume change of the phase change material during the phase change process. Simultaneously, the outer surface of the container should have good corrosion resistance to adapt to different environmental conditions. To reduce energy loss during storage and transportation of the phase change material, the portable phase change material features a highly efficient thermal insulation design. The insulation layer typically employs a multi-layer composite material structure, including high-performance insulation materials such as aerogel, polyurethane foam, or vacuum insulation panels. The thickness of the insulation layer is generally between 5 and 20 mm. The specific thickness is optimized based on the phase change temperature and temperature regulation requirements of the phase change material to ensure that the temperature change of the phase change material is kept within a minimum range during the specified service life. In addition, the insulation design of portable phase change materials also needs to consider the needs of heat dissipation and ventilation. If necessary, heat dissipation holes or heat sinks can be installed to ensure that the phase change material can effectively transfer heat to the target area when releasing energy.
[0072] Phase change materials (PCMs) are encapsulated in a dedicated chamber within the container. The chamber's structural design ensures that the PCMs can fully contact the heat transfer medium during the phase change process, achieving efficient energy storage and release. The encapsulation material should possess good thermal and chemical stability, be compatible with the PCMs, and not react or affect their performance. To improve the heat transfer efficiency of the PCMs, heat conduction enhancement structures, such as metal mesh, metal foam, or graphite sheets, can be incorporated into the chamber. These structures increase the contact area between the PCMs and the heat transfer medium, promoting rapid heat transfer and thus shortening the time for phase change energy storage and release.
[0073] The optimized design of the phase change energy storage system provided in this embodiment improves the system's energy storage and release efficiency, enhances its adaptability and flexibility to different temperature control needs, and reduces the system's management and maintenance costs. This enables the phase change energy storage system to utilize energy more efficiently and achieve precise temperature control in commercial building temperature control applications.
[0074] Furthermore, in some embodiments, step S1, "Storing energy through a phase change energy storage system during off-peak hours in commercial buildings," may specifically include:
[0075] During off-peak hours in commercial buildings, based on the layered encapsulation characteristics of multiple types of phase change materials, the power grid is controlled to heat the phase change materials in different phase change temperature ranges in a stepped manner.
[0076] Energy is stored by heating the phase change material to its phase change temperature range.
[0077] Specifically, for step S1, during off-peak hours, the system, based on the layered encapsulation characteristics of various types of phase change materials in the phase change energy storage system, performs stepwise heating on phase change materials in different phase change temperature ranges. For example, for materials with lower phase change temperatures, lower-power grid electricity is first used for heating to bring them to the phase change temperature and induce phase change to store energy. Subsequently, the heating power is gradually increased to heat materials with higher phase change temperatures, ensuring that each phase change material can fully absorb energy and undergo phase change within its respective phase change temperature range. Heating the phase change material to its phase change temperature range causes it to undergo a phase change (e.g., from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas). During this process, the phase change material absorbs and stores a large amount of heat. For example, paraffin-based phase change materials absorb a large amount of latent heat during melting while maintaining a relatively stable temperature. By precisely controlling the heating temperature and time, it is ensured that the phase change material can fully undergo phase change and store the maximum amount of energy.
[0078] In specific embodiments, a highly efficient thermal management system, including heat exchangers and insulation materials, can be designed and integrated to improve heating efficiency and reduce energy loss. An intelligent heating control system can be developed to dynamically adjust heating strategies based on grid electricity prices, weather forecasts, and building interior temperature requirements. In addition to grid electricity, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can be considered as energy inputs for heating phase change materials, thereby improving the system's sustainability.
[0079] It should be noted that the phase change energy storage system in this embodiment is designed to be compatible with both grid power and renewable energy. In actual operation, renewable energy is prioritized for heating and energy storage of the phase change material. Grid power is only used as a supplement when renewable energy is insufficient to meet energy storage needs. By employing this parallel usage strategy, the environmental advantages of renewable energy are fully utilized, while the stability of grid power is used as a guarantee. This ensures that the phase change energy storage system can efficiently store energy during off-peak hours, providing sufficient energy reserves for temperature regulation applications during peak hours, thereby maximizing energy utilization efficiency and optimizing the energy structure.
[0080] The stepped heating strategy in this embodiment not only improves the energy utilization efficiency of phase change materials (PCMs) but also reduces energy costs, while ensuring that the PCM energy storage system can respond quickly and provide stable energy output during peak periods. The high energy density of PCMs allows the system to store a large amount of energy in a relatively small space, improving energy utilization efficiency; utilizing off-peak electricity and renewable energy sources for energy storage reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions; intelligent control and a highly efficient thermal management system improve the system's stability and reliability, ensuring the continuity and controllability of the energy storage and release process; and the energy storage strategy can be flexibly adjusted according to actual energy prices and demand, improving adaptability to different conditions.
[0081] Furthermore, in some embodiments, step S2, "obtaining the temperature control requirements corresponding to different areas within a commercial building," may specifically include:
[0082] Acquire real-time environmental information and target temperature for various areas within a commercial building. Real-time environmental information includes real-time temperature and real-time humidity.
[0083] Based on real-time environmental information and target temperature, the temperature control requirements for each area are determined. These requirements include temperature control power and temperature adjustment gradient.
[0084] Specifically, in step S2, within the commercial building, a deployed sensor network collects real-time environmental data for each area, including current temperature and humidity. Simultaneously, a pre-set target temperature for each area is acquired. This target temperature can be determined based on factors such as the building's functional requirements, occupant comfort requirements, and energy management strategies. For example, in an office area, the target temperature might be set at around 24°C, while in a data center area, the target temperature may need to be lower to meet equipment cooling requirements. Based on the difference between the real-time environmental information and the target temperature, the required temperature control power and temperature gradient for each area are calculated. The temperature control power reflects the energy output rate required to reach the target temperature, while the temperature gradient represents the required rate of temperature change. For example, if the real-time temperature is 28°C and the target temperature is 24°C, a suitable cooling power and temperature drop gradient need to be determined to reduce the area's temperature to the target value within a specified time.
[0085] In addition, advanced prediction algorithms can be integrated to predict future environmental changes and temperature control needs based on historical data and trend analysis; adaptive control strategies can be developed to enable the system to dynamically adjust the temperature control strategy according to real-time data and prediction results; a user interface can be provided to allow users to manually adjust the target temperature and temperature control needs as needed; and the zoning of the building interior can be optimized to improve temperature control efficiency and accuracy.
[0086] This embodiment enables the system to accurately determine the temperature control requirements of each area through real-time monitoring and analysis, thereby improving temperature control precision; dynamically adjust the temperature control strategy to reduce unnecessary energy waste and improve energy utilization efficiency; allow users to adjust the temperature according to their personal preferences, thereby improving comfort and satisfaction; reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs by precisely controlling and optimizing temperature control requirements; and adapt to different environmental conditions and user needs, providing more flexible temperature control services.
[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments, step S3, "based on an artificial intelligence-based dynamic deployment algorithm, determining the type, quantity, and deployment location of the required phase change units in each region according to temperature control requirements and the phase change temperature characteristics of various types of phase change materials," may specifically include:
[0088] A phase change unit deployment strategy is generated by training a machine learning model on historical temperature control data, current real-time environmental information, and the phase change characteristics of various types of phase change materials.
[0089] The type of phase change material is matched to the corresponding phase change temperature range according to the temperature regulation requirements, and the number and spatial deployment location of the required phase change units in each region are determined by the phase change unit deployment strategy.
[0090] Specifically, for step S3, a large amount of historical temperature control data is collected, including past temperature changes in various regions, temperature control requirements, and the usage of phase change units (PCUs). Simultaneously, real-time environmental information (such as current temperature and humidity) and the phase change characteristics of various types of PCUs (such as phase change temperature range and energy storage density) are acquired. Using historical temperature control data and real-time environmental information as input, machine learning algorithms (such as neural networks and decision trees) are used for training, enabling the model to learn the optimal deployment method for PCUs under different conditions, thereby generating a PCU deployment strategy. For example, through the analysis of historical data, the model can learn how many specific types of PCUs are needed in a region to achieve the best temperature control effect under specific temperature and humidity conditions. Based on the previously determined temperature control requirements of each region (such as temperature control power and temperature adjustment gradient), and combined with the phase change temperature range of the PCUs, the most suitable type of PCU is matched. For example, if a region needs to be cooled at a lower temperature, a PCU with a lower phase change temperature is selected. Then, based on the generated phase change unit deployment strategy, the specific number of phase change units required in each area is calculated, and the optimal deployment location of the phase change units in the space is determined. This includes comprehensive consideration of factors such as building layout, personnel activity areas, and heat source distribution to ensure that the phase change units can fully function and achieve rapid and effective temperature regulation.
[0091] This embodiment improves the performance and efficiency of phase change energy storage systems in commercial building temperature control applications by matching phase change material types and optimizing the number and location of phase change units. It ensures that the temperature control needs of different areas can be met quickly and effectively during peak hours, while reducing energy consumption and system costs, providing commercial buildings with a more intelligent, energy-saving and reliable temperature control solution.
[0092] Furthermore, in some embodiments, step S4, "During peak hours in commercial buildings, based on temperature control requirements, controlling the phase change energy storage system to regulate the temperature of various areas through the phase change unit using the stored energy," may specifically include:
[0093] During peak hours in commercial buildings, the phase change material in the central phase change energy storage unit is moved to the phase change unit;
[0094] Based on the temperature control requirements of each region, several phase change units containing phase change materials are deployed to the target regions corresponding to the temperature control requirements.
[0095] The target area is temperature-controlled by the energy released when the phase change material placed in the phase change unit undergoes an inverse phase change.
[0096] Specifically, for step S4, before the peak period arrives, based on the predicted temperature control demand, the phase change material stored in the central phase change energy storage unit is moved to portable phase change units via an automated logistics system or manual operation. This process must ensure that the phase change material does not leak or lose energy during transport, and that the phase change units can be deployed to the target areas in a timely manner during peak periods. For example, dedicated transport equipment or pipelines can be used to transport the phase change material from the central energy storage unit to each phase change unit, while the transport process is monitored and controlled in real time. Based on the previously determined temperature control needs of each area, the phase change units containing the phase change material are deployed to the target areas automatically or manually. During deployment, the placement and quantity of the phase change units, as well as their coordination with other equipment (such as air conditioning, ventilation systems, etc.), need to be considered. For example, for areas requiring cooling, the phase change units are placed near heat sources or densely populated areas to absorb heat more effectively; for areas requiring heating, the phase change units are placed near cold sources to release heat. Simultaneously, the deployment status of the phase change units can be monitored in real time through an intelligent control system, and adjustments can be made according to the actual situation. When phase change units are deployed to the target area, the phase change material undergoes a reverse phase change (such as from liquid to solid or from gas to liquid) under the influence of ambient temperature or a control system, releasing previously stored energy. For example, paraffin-based phase change materials release a large amount of latent heat during solidification, which can be used for heating; while hydrated salt-based phase change materials absorb heat during water absorption, thus achieving cooling. By controlling the rate and extent of the phase change process, the rate at which the phase change material releases or absorbs heat can be adjusted, enabling precise temperature control of the target area.
[0097] In specific embodiments, the triggering mechanism of the reverse phase change process is a key element in ensuring the efficient operation of the system. Reverse phase change refers to the transformation of a phase change material from an energy storage state to an energy release state, that is, from a high-energy state to a low-energy state, releasing the stored energy for temperature regulation of the target area. To achieve precise and timely temperature regulation, this embodiment proposes a temperature sensor feedback triggering mechanism and an external control signal triggering mechanism. Specifically, the temperature sensor feedback triggering mechanism is as follows: a high-precision temperature sensor is deployed within the target area to monitor temperature changes in real time and feeds the data back to the central control system of the phase change energy storage system. When the real-time temperature of the target area exceeds the preset temperature range (whether too high or too low), the central control system receives the feedback signal from the temperature sensor and immediately initiates the reverse phase change triggering procedure. For example, in a laboratory area that needs to maintain a constant temperature, if the temperature rises rapidly due to an increase in personnel or equipment operation, the temperature sensor detects this change and transmits a signal. Based on this, the central control system determines that the area needs cooling and temperature regulation, and then sends a command to the corresponding phase change unit to trigger the phase change material to undergo a reverse phase change, releasing cooling energy to lower the area temperature and restore it to a comfortable range that meets the set requirements. The external control signal triggering mechanism is as follows: In certain special circumstances, such as when hosting large-scale events or conferences, the density of people and the intensity of activities within commercial buildings may change significantly, causing the pre-set temperature control strategy to fail to meet actual needs. In this case, staff can send an external control signal through the control terminal to force the inverse phase change to quickly adjust the temperature of the target area, ensuring the smooth running of the event and the comfort of the personnel. Alternatively, based on grid load conditions, renewable energy supply, and the energy usage strategy of the commercial building, management personnel may need to manually intervene in the energy release of the phase change energy storage system.
[0098] In addition, an automated logistics system can be integrated to quickly and efficiently move phase change units from the central energy storage unit to various target areas during peak periods. For example, within commercial buildings, dedicated tracks are laid along the transport path of the phase change material. The track layout is rationally planned according to the building structure and the distribution of the phase change units to ensure smooth and efficient transportation. Multiple transport vehicles are equipped on the tracks to carry the phase change material containers. The bottom of each transport vehicle has wheels that fit snugly with the track, ensuring stable and rapid operation. Multiple readers are installed along the track, corresponding to RFID tags or QR code markings on the transport vehicles. The readers can read the information from the transport vehicles in real time and transmit the data to the central control system. Based on the received data, the central control system precisely schedules and manages the operation of the transport vehicles, including controlling their start, stop, speed adjustment, and direction of travel. Simultaneously, the reader can also send instructions to the transport vehicle, such as opening or closing the locking device, to achieve automated control of the transportation process; develop intelligent scheduling algorithms to optimize the deployment plan of phase change units, so as to minimize energy loss and improve response speed; realize the function of wireless monitoring and control of phase change units, enabling the system to remotely monitor the status of each unit and adjust the operation based on real-time data; and dynamically adjust the subsequent phase change unit deployment and energy release strategy based on environmental changes and feedback on the initial temperature regulation effect.
[0099] This embodiment enables the system to more effectively regulate indoor temperature and improve temperature control efficiency by precisely matching temperature control needs and responding quickly. It utilizes stored energy for temperature control during peak hours, reducing reliance on expensive peak-hour electricity and thus saving energy costs. It can adjust the temperature according to real-time needs, providing a more comfortable indoor environment and enhancing user satisfaction and work efficiency. By optimizing energy use and reducing waste, the system helps improve the building's energy sustainability. Automated and intelligent operation reduces the need for manual intervention, making the temperature control process more convenient and efficient.
[0100] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after step S3 "based on temperature regulation requirements, control the phase change energy storage system to regulate the temperature of each region using the stored energy", the method further includes:
[0101] S51. Real-time monitoring of the target area's environmental information, including real-time temperature and humidity;
[0102] S52. Based on real-time environmental information and temperature control requirements, adjust the deployment location and quantity of phase change units in the target area, and / or adjust the operating parameters of heating or cooling equipment in the target area.
[0103] Specifically, the temperature regulation method based on a phase change energy storage system provided in this embodiment also includes real-time monitoring and adjustment of the temperature regulation effect after regulation. Through sensors deployed in the target area, the system monitors the environmental information of the area in real time, including temperature and humidity, to evaluate the temperature regulation effect. Based on the real-time environmental information and the preset target temperature, the system evaluates the current temperature regulation effect and determines whether further adjustments are needed. Based on the evaluation results, the system automatically adjusts the deployment location and number of phase change units to optimize the temperature regulation effect. The system can also adjust the operating parameters (e.g., temperature, wind speed) of heating or cooling equipment in the target area to assist the phase change units and achieve more precise temperature control.
[0104] It should be noted that, in order to optimize the system's temperature regulation effect and make rational use of resources, this embodiment prioritizes adjusting the deployment location of the phase change units, and only secondarily adds more phase change units. Compared to increasing the number of phase change units, adjusting the location does not involve additional equipment procurement costs or the additional space occupation and energy consumption issues that may arise from adding phase change units. Adjusting the deployment location can quickly change the temperature regulation effect of the target area. The temperature regulation effect of phase change materials mainly relies on their heat exchange with the surrounding environment. When the phase change unit is close to the heat source or the critical location requiring temperature regulation, it can play its role more efficiently. For example, in an office area, if it is found that the temperature on the side near the window is too high due to direct sunlight, and the phase change unit is located on the other side of the room, simply moving the phase change unit to a position closer to the window can enhance the cooling effect of that area in a short time, without waiting for the deployment and debugging of additional phase change units. Prioritizing the adjustment of the deployment location can also better adapt to dynamic changes in the target area. The temperature distribution in commercial buildings will constantly change due to factors such as personnel activity, equipment operating status, and external environment. Flexible adjustment of the phase change unit's location can quickly respond to changes. If the temperature regulation effect still cannot meet the needs of the target area after adjusting the deployment position of the phase change unit, for example, if the heat load of the target area is too large, the existing number of phase change units, even after the optimal position adjustment, cannot provide sufficient temperature regulation capacity. In this case, it is necessary to consider increasing the number of phase change units.
[0105] Furthermore, this embodiment can utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze historical data, employing a three-layer neural network model. The input layer contains historical temperature and humidity data, while the output layer contains phase change unit deployment strategies. This predicts the maintenance needs of the phase change units, reducing unexpected failures and maintenance costs. It can learn from historical temperature settings and user feedback to automatically optimize temperature control strategies, improving the system's adaptability. A user interface is provided, allowing users to set temperature thresholds and temperature preferences according to their individual preferences, and the system automatically adjusts based on these settings. The phase change energy storage system is integrated with the building's energy management system (EMS) to achieve global optimization of energy consumption.
[0106] This embodiment improves the accuracy and response speed of temperature control through real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment mechanisms, ensuring the comfort of the indoor environment; by optimizing the collaborative work of the phase change unit and traditional heating and cooling equipment, it reduces energy consumption and improves energy utilization efficiency; predictive maintenance and adaptive learning systems reduce maintenance costs and energy waste, lowering overall operating costs; by reducing energy consumption and optimizing energy use, the system helps reduce environmental impact and improve the environmental sustainability of buildings.
[0107] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after step S3 "based on temperature regulation requirements, control the phase change energy storage system to regulate the temperature of each region using the stored energy", the method further includes:
[0108] S51. Real-time monitoring of the temperature and energy release status of the phase change unit;
[0109] S52. Determine the phase change unit to be recycled based on the temperature and energy release state of the phase change unit;
[0110] S53. During off-peak hours in commercial buildings, the remaining energy in the phase change units deployed in various areas is recovered and transferred to the central phase change energy storage unit.
[0111] Specifically, the temperature regulation method based on a phase change energy storage system provided in this embodiment also includes an energy recovery step. Through built-in temperature sensors and energy monitoring equipment, the system monitors the temperature and energy release status of each phase change unit in real time. Based on the monitoring data, phase change units that are close to completing their energy release are identified as units to be recovered. During off-peak hours, the remaining energy in these phase change units to be recovered is recovered to the central phase change energy storage unit for subsequent use.
[0112] Energy recovery primarily involves effectively recovering the residual heat energy that is not fully released in the phase change unit and storing it again in the central phase change energy storage unit for later reuse, thereby maximizing energy utilization and reducing energy waste. In this embodiment, energy recovery is achieved through a heat exchange recovery system, which comprises a heat exchanger, a heat transfer medium circulation loop, and a connection interface to the central phase change energy storage unit. The heat exchanger is internally designed with phase change material channels and heat transfer medium channels, which are isolated from each other and arranged in counter-current flow to maximize heat exchange efficiency. The heat exchanger body is made of a high thermal conductivity material such as copper or aluminum alloy to ensure rapid heat conduction. The heat transfer medium circulation loop contains a heat transfer medium (such as water, ethylene glycol solution, or heat transfer oil), which flows through the heat transfer medium channels in the heat exchanger under the drive of a circulation pump. The circulation loop also includes insulated pipes to reduce heat loss during transport and an expansion tank to stabilize system pressure and accommodate the volume expansion of the heat transfer medium due to temperature changes. The central phase change energy storage unit's connection interface is connected to the heat exchanger outlet, delivering the heat transfer medium carrying recovered heat energy to the central phase change energy storage unit. An intelligent valve is installed at the interface, automatically adjusting the flow rate based on system operating conditions to ensure a stable input of heat energy into the central energy storage unit.
[0113] In a specific embodiment, during off-peak hours in commercial buildings, the central control system determines the degree of energy release within the phase change unit (PCU) based on temperature monitoring data. For PCUs with remaining heat energy reaching the recovery threshold, the system automatically initiates an energy recovery program, dispatching recovery equipment such as robotic transport vehicles or rail transport vehicles to transport the PCUs to the heat exchange area. Once the PCUs arrive at the heat exchange area, the PCU container is connected to the PCU flow channel of the heat exchanger. Simultaneously, a circulation pump starts, driving the heat transfer medium to exchange heat with the PCU within the heat exchanger, transferring the remaining heat energy from the PCU to the heat transfer medium, causing it to heat up and become a high-temperature heat transfer medium. The high-temperature heat transfer medium flows into the central PCU energy storage unit through its connection interface, interacting thermally with the PCU in the central PCU, transferring heat energy to the central energy storage PCU, causing it to heat up or undergo a phase change to store energy. Intelligent valves regulate the flow rate of the heat transfer medium in real time, ensuring uniform heat input to the central energy storage unit, improving energy recovery efficiency, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the central energy storage unit. After heat recovery is completed, the temperature of the phase change material within the phase change unit decreases significantly, and the phase change unit is marked as "recovered." It is then transported back to the vicinity of the central phase change energy storage unit via the recovery equipment to stand by, ready to participate in temperature regulation tasks again at any time. At the same time, the central control system updates the energy status information of the phase change unit, providing an accurate basis for the next round of energy allocation.
[0114] This embodiment significantly improves energy utilization and reduces energy waste by recovering residual energy from the phase change unit; automated recovery and intelligent scheduling reduce the need for manual operation and lower system operating costs; the energy recovery mechanism enhances system sustainability and helps achieve more environmentally friendly building operations; through monitoring and data analysis, maintenance work can be predicted and planned, reducing unexpected failures and improving system reliability.
