Abstract

In the context of China's “double carbon” policy and “rural revitalization” strategy, clean and low-carbon heating in rural areas of the northern China has become a key problem that needs to be urgently addressed. Practice has proved that “coal-to-gas” and “coal-to-electricity” projects have various limitations, such as high operating cost, high carbon emission, and high cost of distribution network upgrade, making them unsuitable for nationwide promotion. To address this issue, this research proposes a distributed multienergy and low-carbon heating (DMLH) system, which integrates the photovoltaic power generation, combined heat and power (CHP) system, heat storage, and newly developed multisource efficient heat pump (MEHP). The MEHP operates by simultaneously absorbing heat from air and waste heat sources of the CHP generation, providing a stable and efficient heat output. The multienergy complementary operating strategy of the DMLH system has been presented, considering variations of heating demand and environmental temperature. Comprehensive case studies were performed under typical and extremely cold winter scenarios to examine the effectiveness of the DMLH system. Simulation results revealed that 66.7 % of the operating cost can be reduced by the proposed system in typical scenario and the heat supply stability of MEHP has been considerably enhanced compared to a single-stage heat pump system. Furthermore, the DMLH system has low-level requirement of distribution network capability, which is conducive to promotion in the rural areas of northern China.
