Application Study of Novel Hybrid Source Heating Mode with Low Energy Consumption for China

Abstract

Based on the urgent demand of China’s emission reduction and air haze control, this study aims to relieve the conventional energy consumption and environmental air pollution problems generated during heating period in China. Combined with the low power supply efficiency and big contradiction between power supply as well as demand status of power supply system, the present paper innovatively combined the renewable shallow geothermal energy with the energy-saving demand side power management concept, and proposed a hybrid source heating mode with the ground coupled heat pump as the main heat source, the valley electricity as the supplemental heat source, and the floor radiation pipes as the terminal form. The life cycle cost of proposed hybrid source heating mode is simulated and compared with traditional heating modes. Results indicate the hybrid source heating mode can make positive contribution to the sustainable development and urbanization construction of north China.
