From the Polish description of the invention No. PL 207849 entitled "Heating system for space heating using natural and renewable heat sources" a heating system comprising solar collectors which are connected to a solar energy transfer module, which is a low pressure solar energy transfer device, is known. The solar energy transfer modules are connected to the domestic hot water cylinder, to which tap water is supplied via a diaphragm vessel and safety valve. Domestic hot water circulation is provided by a pump. The system also consists of a heat pump connected to the deep water intake via a plate heat exchanger. The heat pump also receives pulses from the outside air temperature sensor. The heat pump is directly connected to the process hot water buffer tank and the domestic hot water cylinder.

The energy is then transferred to heat up the domestic water supplying taps in bathrooms and toilets or to heat up water in radiators .

The inconvenience of known heating systems and systems using natural and renewable heat sources is their limited use only as an additional heat source to working conventional heating systems. Installed in these known heating systems, heat pumps do not use the ground at different depths of their foundation to store heat energy with the possibility of any use the thermal energy over time.

The aim of the system for system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy according to the invention is to completely eliminate conventional heat sources for obtaining domestic hot water and for heating buildings, including multi-family buildings.

The essence of the system for system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy is the continuous storage of thermal energy by the system using lower heat sources such as an underground insulated tank, an underground uninsulated tank and a ground heat exchanger. In these lower heat sources, which are connected to the heat pump, circulating pumps and no less than two heat exchangers are installed. Lower heat sources are the storage of the heat energy previously generated by the system.

The system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy according to the invention is constructed from no less than two sets of rotary solar collectors, from stationary PV photovoltaic panel modules and from photovoltaic panel modules installed on rotary PVT tracers, from hot water buffer tanks, from a domestic hot water storage tank (d.h.w.), insulated underground thermal energy storage, uninsulated underground thermal energy storage, ground storage including ground heat exchanger, heat pump, system circulation pumps, three-way valves, system heat exchangers, electricity accumulators including inverters. The heat pump installed in the system cooperates directly with three bottom heat sources: with an insulated underground tank, with an uninsulated underground tank and through a circulation pump and a three-way valve with a ground heat exchanger, which are vertical boreholes in the ground. On the downstream side, the heat pump is connected to the upper heat exchanger installed inside the insulated underground tank and to the upper heat exchanger installed inside the uninsulated underground tank through a circulation pump and a three-way valve. The heat pump is also connected to the plate heat exchanger via a circulation pump and a series of three-way valves. The plate heat exchanger in the system is connected to the hot water buffer tank by a circulation pump. On the upstream side, the heat pump is connected via a circulation pump and three-way valves to the hot water buffer cylinders. The system is built from sets of rotating solar collectors, from PVT photovoltaic panel modules installed on rotating tracers, from stationary PV photovoltaic panel modules. The first set of rotating solar collectors is connected via a three-way valve and circulating pump to the upper and lower coils of the hot water buffer tank and to the lower heat exchanger installed inside the insulated underground tank. The upper and lower coils of the hot water buffer tank of the first set of rotary solar collectors are connected to the upper heat exchanger mounted inside the insulated underground tank via a circulation pump and three-way valves. A three-way valve is installed between the upper and lower coils of the hot water buffer tank. The second set of rotating solar collectors is connected to the lower coil of the hot water buffer tank and to the lower heat exchanger mounted inside the insulated underground tank through a circulating pump and through a three-way valve. PVT photovoltaic panel modules installed on rotating tracers are connected via circulating pumps to a lower heat exchanger mounted inside an uninsulated underground tank. Stationary PV photovoltaic panel modules are connected via a circulating pump to a lower heat exchanger mounted inside an uninsulated underground tank.

Advantageously, the system for emission-free year- round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy comprises a first set of rotary solar collectors which transports the generated thermal energy, by means of a circulation pump of the first set of rotary solar collectors, to a hot water buffer tank or to an insulated underground thermal energy storage. The hot water buffer tank of the first set of rotary solar collectors is a hot water buffer tank that transfers heat energy to the lower or upper coil of the hot water buffer tank, as required, via a three-way valve. Once the hot water buffer cylinder has reached the set temperature, the thermal energy from the first set of rotating solar collectors is transported via three-way valves that change the flow direction to an insulated underground energy store with two heat exchangers installed, where the excess thermal energy is stored.

Advantageously, the system for emission-free year- round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy comprises a second set of rotary solar collectors which transports the generated thermal energy, by means of a circulation pump of the second set of rotary solar collectors, to a hot water buffer tank of the second set of rotary solar collectors or to an insulated underground thermal energy storage. This hot water buffer cylinder is a hot water buffer cylinder that transfers heat energy to the lower coil of the hot water buffer cylinder. Once the hot water buffer cylinder has reached the set temperature, the thermal energy from the second set of rotating solar collectors is transported via three-way valves by reversing the flow direction to an insulated underground energy store with two heat exchangers installed, where the excess thermal energy is stored.

The hot water buffer tanks of the first and second set of rotary solar collectors are connected to the circulation pump of these buffer tanks, through which the hot water temperature equalization in these buffer tanks is realized.

Advantageously, the system for emission-free year- round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy comprises stationary PV photovoltaic panel modules and photovoltaic panel modules installed on rotating PVT tracers. The PV and PVT photovoltaic panel modules have cooling systems installed, from which the extracted thermal energy is transferred via the PV photovoltaic panel circulator, PVT photovoltaic panel circulators to an uninsulated underground thermal energy store with two heat exchangers installed, where the excess thermal energy is stored. Advantageously, the stored thermal energy is transferred to the ground surrounding the reservoir, which provides ground thermal energy storage. The PV photovoltaic panels installed in the system and the photovoltaic panel modules installed on the PVT rotary tracers generate electricity to power the facility where the system is located. In addition, the electricity generated is used to run the electrical component equipment of the system. If there is excess electricity generated, it is stored in the power grid.

The system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy is based on a combination of solar thermal energy and heat pump energy from lower heat sources to obtain hot water for domestic use and its use in taps and sanitary facilities, as well as for obtaining hot process water for space heating by central heating system and/or air conditioning unit, through which the heating of the building is carried out with heated air.

In the case of heat demand, the heat pump installed in the system cooperates with the lower heat sources in which the heat energy has been previously stored by the system, i.e. with an underground insulated tank, an underground uninsulated tank and a ground heat exchanger.

Advantageously, the heat pump uses an insulated underground tank as its lower heat source, in which the high-temperature heat is stored. One of the heat exchangers of the underground tank is used to collect the heat in the insulated underground tank. Operating the heat pump with a high temperature bottom heat source significantly increases the COP of the unit. A circulating pump and appropriate configuration of three-way valves are used to extract heat from the insulated underground tank.

If the thermal energy in the insulated underground tank is exhausted, the heat pump uses the thermal energy from the uninsulated underground tank as its lower source for operation. A circulating pump and an appropriate configuration of three-way valves are used to extract heat from an uninsulated underground tank.

In summer, when there is a higher demand for cooling, the system generates cooling energy and at the same time thermal energy to supply hot water or regenerate the ground heat exchanger.

In the air-conditioned mode of operation, the invention uses the hot water buffer tank of the first set of rotary solar collectors as a cool storage.

In the process of generating cooling, the heat pump uses a circulating pump and an appropriate configuration of three-way valves to pump the cooling energy to a plate heat exchanger, from which the cooling energy is transported to the cold store via the circulating pump.

The heat generated during the generation of cold is transported by the heat pump through the circulation pump and through the appropriate configuration of the three-way valve to the plate heat exchanger. The heat energy collected in the plate heat exchanger is transported via a circulation pump to the ground heat exchanger for regeneration and preparation for operation in the winter season. In addition, the thermal energy received in the plate heat exchanger can be simultaneously transported to the ground heat exchanger and to the uninsulated underground tank through a circulation pump and through the appropriate configuration of the three-way valve also to regenerate the soil around the uninsulated underground tank and to prepare for operation in the winter season.

Electricity is generated in PV photovoltaic panels mounted in the system and in photovoltaic panel modules installed on PVT rotary tracers. This electricity is used to power the facility’s system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy. In addition, the electricity generated is used to run the electrical component equipment of the system. If there is excess electricity generated, it is stored in the power grid.

The operation of the system for emission-free year- round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy is based on the use of solar energy and the energy of lower heat sources to heat domestic hot water and processhot water. In addition, the system provides the possibility of generating cold that is used to air condition the premises of the facility. The additional excess heat energy generated by the system, as well as the waste heat from the air conditioning process, is stored in a number of lower heat sources, where the heat energy is stored for later use during periods of increased heat demand.

The system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy provides complete coverage of the heat and power demand of the facility where it is installed.

The advantage of the system for emission-free year- round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy according to the invention is the complete elimination of conventional, gas or oil-fired boiler houses that are a nuisance to the environment. The system is automatically controlled and does not reguire constant supervision. The system generates sufficient heat to heat domestic hot water for kitchens, toilets and bathrooms as well as process hot water for space heating by means of natural and renewable sources of heat. An air conditioning unit can be included in the system, which allows direct heating of rooms with air heated to the set temperature and humidity in winter, while in summer it allows cooling of the same rooms with the set parameters of the supplied air. The operation of the heating system of the eguipment is fully automated and does not reguire constant maintenance.

The system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy according to the invention enables the heat pump to operate with different lower heat sources, which is a clear advantage, as it protects the system from shutdown due to the complete utilization of thermal energy from the lower heat source. Another advantage of the system for emission-free year-round generation, storage and processing of thermal and electrical energy according to the invention is the possibility of simultaneous regeneration of lower heat sources when the system is operating in air-conditioning mode, which translates into effective use of waste heat generated in the air-conditioning process.
