Economic analysis of electrically driven coupled heating and cooling energy supply system
In response to the current situation in industrial parks where fossil energy is used independently for heating and cooling
with cooling towers providing cooling
and to achieve the goal of low-carbon energy supply
this paper proposes an electricity-driven dual heating and cooling energy coupling system based on heat pumps and energy storage. Based on current energy conditions
a numerical model of the system was established to study the impact of cooling temperatures (7—20℃) and heating temperatures (50—120℃) on thermodynamic performance. The system's economic and environmental benefits were also compared with traditional coal-fired
gas-fired
and electric boiler energy supply schemes
with and without consideration of cooling demand. The results indicate that
in the performance analysis
when the heating temperature is 120℃ and the cooling temperature is 7℃
the system achieves a maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of 1.733 at an intermediate temperature of 71℃. In the economic analysis
when cooling demand is considered
the system has the lowest total life-cycle cost over the 50—120℃ temperature range
and its daily operating cost is reduced by 73.9%
57.4%
and 80% compared to electric boilers
coal-fired boilers
and gas-fired boilers
respectively. In terms of carbon emissions
the system's emissions are significantly lower than those of electric boilers and coal-fired boilers. When the heating temperature is 60℃
its carbon emissions are only 24% of those of electric boilers; in most scenarios
it also outperforms gas boiler schemes. In summary
based on economic and environmental benefit assessments
heat pumps are the most advantageous solution in scenarios where both cooling and heating demands coexist.
