[0039] Example:

[0040] See also Figure 1 , a centralized heating energy station in the northern region, including an ACS air source heat pump group; the ACS air source heat pump group is connected to the Heat electric heating and the WM flow meter through a pipeline to realize the replenishment of heat energy and the precise control of flow; the Heat electric heating is connected to the EST energy storage tank through a pipeline to ensure the effective storage and utilization of heat energy. The Heat electric heating is also connected to the DV1 conversion valve group, the heat meter HM, and the V1 end water supply manual valve in sequence through a pipeline to realize automatic adjustment and monitoring of the system; the WCS water source heat pump is connected to the EST energy storage tank through a pipeline, and the high energy efficiency of the water source heat pump is used for heating. The evaporator of the WCS water source heat pump is also connected to the WM flow meter through the ASCP source side circulation pump and the SV2 check valve in sequence to ensure the stable operation and flow control of the water source heat pump system.

[0041] Specifically, the Heat electric heating is also connected to the evaporator of the WCS water source heat pump through the DM1 electric regulating valve. The DM1 electric regulating valve is used to adjust the hot water flow to the evaporator. The EST energy storage tank is also connected to the pipeline between the Heat electric heating and the DV1 conversion valve group through the pipeline. The WM flowmeter is also connected to the DV2 conversion valve group, the TLCP terminal circulation pump, and the V2 terminal return water manual valve in sequence through the pipeline. The DV2 conversion valve group and the TLCP terminal circulation pump pipeline are connected to the condenser of the WCS water source heat pump through the DV3 conversion valve group. The TLCP terminal circulation pump is connected to the DM2 terminal pipeline network hydraulic balance regulating valve through a pipeline and then connected to the heat meter HM to ensure the hot water circulation of the end users. The SV1 check valve is also connected to the pipeline between the DV1 conversion valve group and the heat meter HM through a pipeline. The evaporator of the WCS water source heat pump is also connected to the HSCP feedback circulation pump, the SV1 check valve, and the condenser of the WCS water source heat pump in sequence through a pipeline, forming a closed circulation system to improve the working efficiency of the heat pump. The SV1 check valve can prevent water backflow and ensure the safe and stable operation of the system. The HSCP feedback circulation pump is also connected to the DM1 electric control valve and the EST energy storage tank through pipelines, further improving the thermal efficiency and stability of the system.

[0042] It should be further explained that in normal weather (generally above -10°C) and non-high humidity, direct heat supply from an air source heat pump (using only the air source heat pump unit and the TLCP terminal circulation pump) is usually adopted, which has better economic benefits. If there are excellent peak-valley electricity price preferential policies, energy storage devices can be used to further improve economic benefits: During off-peak periods when ambient temperatures are high, direct heat supply from an air source heat pump combined with heat storage can be used (operating the ASCP source-side circulation pump until the EST heat energy is fully stored). During peak periods, the air source heat pump is discontinued and replaced with a WCS water source heat pump to transport the stored heat energy from the EST to the terminal, significantly improving energy efficiency compared to air source heat. In high-humidity and frosty weather (above -5°C, high humidity), where the air source is extremely prone to frost, a two-stage combined supply method of air source heat pump and water source heat pump can be used to achieve a stable heating effect. When the air source has sufficient capacity, it constantly outputs hot water (T1) above 30°C. During the EST, some of the heat energy is stored in a tank, cooling it to 28°C for use by the water-source heat pump. Once the EST is fully charged, the air source output water temperature (T1) is adjusted to 28-30°C, just enough to meet the water-source heat pump's maximum water temperature requirement. Frosting of the air source reduces capacity, especially when multiple units are defrosting simultaneously. The output water temperature drops below 28°C, allowing the EST to naturally release heat, maintaining the water-source heat pump's 28°C temperature. During extremely cold weather and at night, when the equipment's total load capacity reaches its limit, a two-stage cascade system is employed. Simultaneously, by adjusting DM1, the release of stored heat from the EST is minimized, while still meeting the water-source heat pump's minimum water temperature requirement, to ensure smooth system operation. Once the EST has fully discharged its required heat, if the air source capacity cannot meet the water-source heat pump's demand (often due to a lack of accommodativeness to the source-side capacity), the feedback loop pump (HSCP) can be activated to forcibly match supply and demand.

[0043] For specific application 1, see Figure 2 The direct heating process for air source heat pumps involves opening the DV1 / DV2 conversion valve group, closing the DV2 conversion valve group, operating the TLCPP terminal circulation pump, and running the ACS air source heat pump group. The direct thermal storage process for air source heat pumps involves operating the ACS air source heat pump group and running the ASCPP source-side circulation pump until the EST storage tank temperature (T5) exceeds 28°C. The thermal storage process can run simultaneously with the heating process or independently.

[0044] For specific application 2, see Figure 3 , air source heat pump combined heating process: DV1 conversion valve group / DV2 conversion valve group is closed, DV3 conversion valve group is opened, TLCP terminal circulation pump / WCS water source heat pump is running, ASCP source side circulation pump / ACS air source heat pump group is running,

[0045] It should be noted that the heat storage regulation of the air source heat pump combined heating process refers to Figure 4 , specifically for thermal storage operating conditions: T1>30℃, T5=28℃

[0046] Fully charged operating conditions: T1 = (28-30°C), T5 = T1

[0047] Exothermic operating conditions: T1<28℃, T5=28℃

[0048] Slow heat release measures: open DM1 as much as possible to reduce EST heat release, while maintaining T2 not lower than 18℃ Feedback compensation measures: close DM1, open DV1, adjust HSCP frequency, control heat feedback,

[0049] Maintain T5 above 25℃.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these changes should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
