Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of renewable energy source utilization and energy source systems, in particular to a multi-system coupled thermoelectric water combined supply system and a method.
Background
Renewable energy sources such as solar energy have problems of intermittence, discontinuity and the like, and a proper energy carrier is needed to provide continuous and reliable energy sources for users. The hydrogen energy is paid attention as one of the alternative energy sources of the traditional fossil energy, and the energy conservation and emission reduction can be realized by coupling the photovoltaic power generation and the water electrolysis hydrogen production technology.
The traditional energy system mainly meets the demands of people on electricity, cold and heat in a separate production mode, and has low energy utilization efficiency, so that resource waste and serious environmental pollution are caused. The distributed combined supply system is an efficient, reliable and environment-friendly energy system, and is an important development direction in the technical field of comprehensive energy utilization.
With the increasing scarcity and demand for fresh water resources, fresh water production technology has been unprecedented. The low-grade heat driven membrane distilled water treatment technology is considered as an effective water purification method, can be widely applied to the fields of sea water and brackish water desalination and the like, and has obvious advantages in the aspect of treating high-concentration brine. The inventor finds that the existing combined supply system generally couples two systems to realize one or two energy supplies, and cannot meet the requirement of people on multiple energies at the same time, so that research on a multi-energy combined supply system capable of realizing combined supply of thermoelectric and water is needed.
