Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of multi-energy system technology, specifically relating to a fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump composite system and temperature regulation system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the "dual carbon" target has placed higher demands on my country's low-carbon energy transition and the construction of a new energy system dominated by new energy sources. Given the current situation of huge annual carbon emissions during the heating season in northern my country, effectively utilizing renewable energy and adopting efficient energy supply equipment have become top priorities in promoting clean heating transformation in northern regions. Hydrogen energy is a highly efficient, clean, and green energy source with bidirectional hydrogen-to-electricity conversion characteristics. It can be produced through water electrolysis and stored or used according to energy supply and demand, thus mitigating the high volatility of wind and solar power. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is mature and can achieve effective combined heat and power (CHP). However, currently, the CHP coupling ratio of hydrogen fuel cells is relatively fixed, and the heat energy generated during the non-heating season to supply demand is not effectively utilized, resulting in heat energy waste.

[0003] Geothermal energy is stable and clean, and can be efficiently utilized through ground source heat pump technology. Ground source heat pumps have become a crucial building heating and cooling technology due to their excellent stability and efficiency. They use a small amount of electricity to drive the flow of a medium through buried pipes, exchanging energy with the soil. Compressor technology converts low-grade heat energy into high-grade heat energy, achieving efficient heat exchange between the primary and condensing sides, thus providing long-term, stable heating and cooling for buildings. Compared to water source and air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps offer advantages such as high energy efficiency and high stability, and do not cause environmental pollution, aligning with the principles of green and sustainable development. However, currently, ground source heat pumps operating in northern regions face the problem of heat loads far exceeding cooling loads, leading to "cold accumulation" in the soil, causing soil temperature decay, resulting in the unsustainability of geothermal energy and a significant decrease in the energy efficiency of ground source heat pumps.

Combined with hydrogen and water storage equipment, this allows for the effective use of the heat energy generated during fuel cell power generation to heat the ground source heat pump during the non-heating season, maintaining soil heat exchange balance. During the heating season, hydrogen energy and geothermal energy are used synergistically to achieve coordinated energy supply from the ground source heat pump and hydrogen fuel cell, resolving the supply-demand imbalance on seasonal and intraday scales, and enabling flexible combined heat and power generation.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. It should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various ways and should not be limited to the illustrative embodiments provided herein.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump hybrid system, including a fuel cell, a heat pump unit, a water tank, a geothermal well, a water pump, valves, and a substation. The water tank can contain either cold or hot water. The fuel cell uses combined heat and power (CHP) technology to consume hydrogen energy to generate electricity and heat. The hydrogen energy used can be obtained from the hydrogen market or produced from renewable energy sources, effectively improving the cleanliness of the energy supply from the fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump hybrid system. The heat pump unit interacts with the geothermal well, and through compressor technology, it delivers heat energy from the building space to the geothermal well in cooling mode and geothermal energy to the building space in heating mode, achieving efficient heating and cooling. The water tank (cold and hot) stores heat energy in the form of hot water and cooling energy in the form of cold water to supply the heating and cooling needs of the system's terminals. The geothermal well interacts with the soil and the heat pump unit through an array of buried pipes, realizing the utilization of geothermal energy and improving the cleanliness of the system's energy supply. Water pumps provide power to each water circulation loop; valves are used to control the flow distribution of each water circulation loop; substations are used to interact with the power grid and distribute power to various devices.

[0030] In the system's circuit connection, the fuel cell can generate electrical energy and transmit it to the substation to supply power to the system's internal and terminal components. The substation interacts with the power grid, and the system can purchase electricity during off-peak hours.

[0031] In the hydrogen circuit connection of the system, the hydrogen energy of this system can be obtained through the hydrogen market or produced through renewable energy sources to provide hydrogen energy for fuel cells.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 3 This invention describes a working mode of the fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump composite system during the heating season. This mode is suitable for use during the heating season when geothermal energy is insufficient and the system's terminal heat demand is high. In heating mode, the medium flow inside the heat pump unit 9 absorbs heat in the evaporator 22 near the geothermal well 20, and is converted into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 11. Heat is released at the condenser 21 to the user-side water pipe, and then becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid state through the expansion valve 10, entering the next cycle. The fuel cell 23 consumes hydrogen energy to generate electricity and heat energy. The heat energy is transferred through a circulation loop, where it is used together with the buried pipe array 20 to provide heat to the primary side of the heat pump unit, thereby increasing the heat exchange temperature of the primary side of the heat pump unit 9 and improving the energy supply efficiency of the heat pump unit 9 to meet the terminal heating load demand. In this mode, the fuel cell 23 assists the geothermal well 20 in providing heat to the primary side of the heat pump. The water circulation loop connection method is as follows:

[0034] In this mode, the system has four water circulation loops in use simultaneously. The water circulation mode and flow rate are controlled by controlling the on / off status of the first shut-off valve 1, the second shut-off valve 2, the fifth shut-off valve 7, the sixth shut-off valve 8, the seventh shut-off valve 13, the eighth shut-off valve 14, the ninth shut-off valve 16, the tenth shut-off valve 17, the eleventh shut-off valve 18, and the twelfth shut-off valve 19, as well as the power of the first circulating water pump 5, the second circulating water pump 6, the third circulating water pump 12, and the fourth circulating water pump 15.

[0035] The four water circulation loops are as follows:

[0036] Loop 1: The hot water in the storage tank, which is at a higher temperature, passes through the first shut-off valve 1 and the first circulating water pump 5 in sequence under the drive of the first circulating water pump 5. After exchanging heat with the building space and cooling down at the end of the system, it returns to the storage tank through the second shut-off valve 2. That is, the heat stored in the storage tank is used for peak shaving and valley filling. When the load is low, the heat in the storage tank is stored, and when the load is high, the heat stored in the storage tank is used to supply heat to the terminal.

[0037] Loop 2: The water that has been heated by heat exchange with the heat pump unit 9 on the condenser side 21 of the heat pump unit 9, driven by the second circulating water pump 6, passes through the fifth shut-off valve 7 and the second circulating water pump 6 in sequence to exchange heat with the system terminal and cool down. Then it passes through the sixth shut-off valve 8 to re-enter the next water circulation. That is, the heat pump unit 9 provides heating for the system terminal.

[0038] Loop 3: The hydrogen fuel cell 23 consumes hydrogen to generate heat energy to heat the water in the pipeline. Driven by the third circulating water pump 12, the water passes through the third circulating water pump 12 and the seventh shut-off valve 13 in sequence to reach the primary side of the heat pump unit 9. After providing heat to the primary side of the heat pump unit 9 and cooling down, the water passes through the eighth shut-off valve 14 and returns to the fuel cell to enter the next cycle. That is, the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell provides heat to the primary side of the heat pump unit 9.

[0039] Loop 4: In the buried pipe array 20, water that absorbs geothermal energy and heats up is driven by the fourth circulating water pump 15. Water exiting through the ninth and eleventh shut-off valves 16 and 18, after passing through the fourth circulating water pump 15, reaches the primary side of the heat pump unit 9, transferring heat energy to it. After its temperature decreases, water enters the buried pipe array 20 through the tenth and twelfth shut-off valves 17 and 19, re-entering the buried pipe array 20 to exchange heat with the soil, entering the next cycle. In other words, geothermal energy is transferred to provide heat to the primary side of the heat pump unit 9.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] Reference Figure 4The figure shows another operating mode of the fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump hybrid system during the heating season. This mode is suitable for the heating season when the system's terminal heat demand is high. The heat pump unit 9 is in heating mode, and the internal medium absorbs heat in the evaporator 22 near the geothermal well. This heat is then converted into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 11, releasing heat to the user side at the condenser 21. After passing through the expansion valve 10, it becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid state and enters the next cycle. The fuel cell 23 consumes hydrogen energy to generate electricity and heat energy. The heat energy is used to work with the heat pump unit 9 to directly provide heat energy to the system's terminal, meeting the heating load demand. The heat energy is transferred through water circulation. In this mode, the fuel cell 23 mainly supplies the system's terminal heat demand directly by generating heat energy, assisting the heat pump unit 9 in heating. The water circulation loop connection is as follows:

[0042] In this operating mode, the system also mainly uses four water circulation loops simultaneously. The water circulation mode and flow rate are controlled by controlling the on / off status of the first shut-off valve 1, the second shut-off valve 2, the third shut-off valve 3, the fourth shut-off valve 4, the fifth shut-off valve 7, the sixth shut-off valve 8, the ninth shut-off valve 16, the tenth shut-off valve 17, the eleventh shut-off valve 18, and the twelfth shut-off valve 19, as well as the power of the first circulating water pump 5, the second circulating water pump 6, the third circulating water pump 12, and the fourth circulating water pump 15.

[0043] The four water circulation loops are as follows:

[0044] Loop 1: The hot water in the storage tank, which is at a higher temperature, passes through the first shut-off valve 1 and the first circulating water pump 5 in sequence under the drive of the first circulating water pump 5. After exchanging heat with the building space and cooling down at the end of the system, it returns to the storage tank through the second shut-off valve 2. That is, the hot water in the storage tank 24 is used to provide heating at the end of the system.

[0045] Loop 2: The water that has been heated by heat exchange with the heat pump unit 9 on the condenser side of the heat pump unit 9, driven by the second circulating water pump 6, passes through the fifth shut-off valve 7 and the second circulating water pump 6 in sequence to exchange heat with the system terminal and cool down. Then it passes through the sixth shut-off valve 8 to re-enter the next water circulation. That is, the heat pump unit 9 provides heating for the system terminal.

[0046] Loop 3: In this mode, the hydrogen fuel cell 23 consumes hydrogen to generate heat to heat the water in the pipeline. Driven by the third circulating water pump 12, the water passes through the third circulating water pump 12, the third shut-off valve 3 and the first circulating water pump 5 in sequence to reach the end of the system. After providing heat to the end of the system and cooling down, the water passes through the fourth shut-off valve 4 and returns to the fuel cell to enter the next cycle. That is, the heat generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 23 directly supplies the heat demand at the end of the system.

[0047] Loop 4: In the buried pipe array 20, water that absorbs geothermal energy and heats up is driven by the fourth circulating water pump 15. Water exiting through the ninth and eleventh shut-off valves 16 and 18, after passing through the fourth circulating water pump 15, reaches the primary side of the heat pump unit 9, transferring heat energy to it. After its temperature decreases, water enters the buried pipe array 20 through the tenth and twelfth shut-off valves 17 and 19, re-entering the buried pipe array 20 to exchange heat with the soil, entering the next cycle. In other words, geothermal energy is transferred to provide heat to the primary side of the heat pump unit 9.

[0048] Example 4:

[0049] Reference Figure 5 The operating mode of the fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump hybrid system during the cooling season is shown in the figure. This mode is suitable for providing cooling energy to the system's terminal during the cooling season. At this time, the heat pump unit 9 is in cooling mode. The internal medium absorbs heat in the evaporator 22 near the user side and is converted into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state by the compressor 11. Heat is released at the condenser 21 to the buried pipe array 20, and then it becomes liquid through the expansion valve 10, entering the next cycle. This transfers the heat energy from the system's terminal to the geothermal well for cooling. The heat energy is transferred through the circulation loop. In this mode, the fuel cell 23 does not participate in the cooling operation of the ground source heat pump. The connection method of the water circulation loop is as follows:

[0050] In this operating mode, the system mainly uses three water circulation loops simultaneously. The water circulation mode and flow rate are controlled by controlling the on / off status of the first shut-off valve 1, the second shut-off valve 2, the fifth shut-off valve 7, the sixth shut-off valve 8, the ninth shut-off valve 16, the tenth shut-off valve 17, the eleventh shut-off valve 18, and the twelfth shut-off valve 19, as well as the power of the first circulating water pump 5, the second circulating water pump 6, and the fourth circulating water pump 15.

[0051] The three water circulation loops are:

[0052] Loop 1: The cool water in the water storage tank 24, driven by the first circulating water pump 5, passes sequentially through the first shut-off valve 1 and the first circulating water pump 5. After exchanging heat with the building space at the end of the system and being heated, it flows into the water storage tank 24 through the second shut-off valve 2. That is, the cool water in the water storage tank 24 is used to supply cooling to the end of the system.

[0053] Loop 2: Water that has been cooled after heat exchange with the evaporator 22 of the heat pump unit 9 in the user-side pipeline, is driven by the second circulating water pump 6 and passes through the fifth shut-off valve 7 and the second circulating water pump 6 in sequence to exchange heat with the system terminal and be heated. Then it passes through the sixth shut-off valve 8 to re-enter the next water circulation. That is, the heat pump unit provides cooling for the system terminal.

[0054] Loop 3: The water in the buried pipe array 20 exchanges heat with the soil and releases heat to cool down. Driven by the fourth circulating water pump 15, the water exits through the ninth shut-off valve 16 and the eleventh shut-off valve 18. After passing through the fourth circulating water pump 15, the water reaches the condenser 21 side of the heat pump unit 9 to absorb heat and heat up. Then, the water enters through the tenth shut-off valve 17 and the twelfth shut-off valve 19 and re-enters the buried pipe array 20. After exchanging heat with the soil, it is cooled down and enters the next cycle, realizing the injection of heat energy at the end of the system into the ground.

[0055] Example 5:

[0056] Reference Figure 6 The operating mode of the fuel cell-assisted ground source heat pump hybrid system during the transition season is shown in the figure. This mode is suitable for using the heat energy generated during the power generation of the hydrogen fuel cell to heat the soil during the transition season, maintaining the soil's heat exchange balance, and avoiding the problems of heat energy waste and "cold accumulation" that lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the ground source heat pump. The heat energy generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 23 interacts with the soil through pipes via the buried pipe array 20. The connection method of the water circulation loop is as follows:

[0057] During the transition season, the heating and cooling demand at the system's end is not significant. Under this operating condition, the water circulation loop is mainly controlled by adjusting the on / off states of the seventh shut-off valve 13, the eighth shut-off valve 14, the ninth shut-off valve 16, the tenth shut-off valve 17, the eleventh shut-off valve 18, and the twelfth shut-off valve 19, as well as the power of the third circulating water pump 12 and the fourth circulating water pump 15. When the hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity, the electrical energy coupled to heat the water in the pipeline, the water is then driven by the third and fourth circulating water pumps 12 and 15. Water then enters through the seventh shut-off valve 13 and the fourth circulating water pump 15, and flows into the buried pipe array 20. After injecting heat energy into the soil to cool it down, the water exits through the tenth shut-off valve 17 and the twelfth shut-off valve 19, passes through the eighth shut-off valve 14, and returns to the fuel cell, completing one heating cycle. This allows the waste heat coupled from the fuel cell's electricity generation to heat the soil during the transition season.
