Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy-saving optimization technology for air conditioning systems, and in particular to a capacity design method for an energy storage air conditioning system covering the entire life cycle. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage air conditioning systems achieve peak-shifting and valley-filling of power load by storing cold / heat during off-peak hours and releasing it during peak hours. This is an important technical means to reduce building operating energy consumption and alleviate the power grid's peak-hour supply pressure. Reasonable capacity configuration can not only significantly reduce users' operating electricity costs, but also reduce the installed capacity requirement of cooling units during the day. It has important engineering value and social significance for alleviating the peak load pressure of the power grid, improving the overall efficiency of the power system, and promoting the consumption of renewable energy.

[0003] Existing energy storage air conditioning system capacity design methods have significant technical limitations: First, traditional methods typically calculate based on static hourly load curves for summer design days, failing to consider the dynamic characteristics of meteorological-load coupling and unable to reflect the real-time coupling effect between the energy storage device and hourly ambient temperature changes throughout the year. Furthermore, existing technologies do not consider the "virtual energy storage" potential of building structures, leading to over-configuration of physical energy storage device capacity. Simultaneously, the capacity design of key equipment such as the refrigeration unit, energy storage device, and heat exchanger is relatively independent, lacking multi-objective collaborative optimization of life-cycle cost and system cooling availability, easily resulting in wasted initial investment or insufficient cooling reliability under extreme conditions. Therefore, this invention proposes a full-cycle energy storage air conditioning system capacity design method. This method extracts the weighted design load, introduces virtual energy storage in the building to reduce the weighted design load, calculates the annual dynamic heat loss rate to correct the initial physical energy storage volume, and finally constructs a multi-objective function for life-cycle energy storage cost and availability, collaboratively optimizing the output design capacity configuration. This method breaks through the limitations of traditional static design, realizes the synergistic utilization of virtual energy storage and physical energy storage, the refined correction of heat loss, and the overall consideration of economic efficiency and reliability throughout the entire life cycle, significantly improving the scientificity and accuracy of energy storage air conditioning system capacity design.

When the multi-objective function is minimized, the preliminary design capacity configuration is output: the designed energy storage device volume is 146m³. 3 The refrigeration unit has a capacity of 480kW and a designed heat exchanger area of ​​75m². 2 ; Substituting the preliminary design capacity configuration into the year-round hourly simulation, under extremely hot and high-load scenarios, the actual cooling satisfaction rate was 93% during certain periods (peak load), failing to meet the 95% cooling satisfaction rate threshold. Under moderately hot and medium-load scenarios, the actual cooling satisfaction rate was 100% for all periods. The virtual energy storage utilization efficiency was reduced to 0.70 (reducing thermal inertia dependence and increasing physical energy storage redundancy). Steps S2-S4 were then re-executed to obtain the optimized design capacity configuration: a design energy storage device volume of 159m³. 3 The refrigeration unit has a capacity of 520kW and a designed heat exchanger area of ​​79m². 2 The actual cooling supply satisfaction rate for the extremely hot high-load scenario and the hot medium-load scenario was 96.9% and 100% respectively, which met the design requirements and output the corresponding design capacity configuration.
