A combined cooling and power supply system equipped with heat pumps and cold storage tanks was developed based on Simulink
and the impact of cooling supply area and coefficient of performance (
α
COP
) on system performance was analyzed. The operation schedule of the heat pumps was optimized with the goal of maximizing revenue. Results show that the system can fully meet the cooling demand of users across all time periods for an area of 400 000 m
2
under the current installed capacity of the heat pumps. When the area exceeds 1 300 000 m
2
the heat pumps operate consistently at peak power during deep peak shaving periods
and the consumption amount of peak shaving electricity reaches its maximum at this moment. In the low
α
COP
range
improving refrigerat
ion energy efficiency exhibits a significant leverage effect on the cooling supply gap. As the
α
COP
increases
the marginal improvement in system performance gradually levels off. There exists a critical electricity price that maximizes system revenue so that the heat pumps are activated when the electricity price is below this critical value and stopped when the electricity price is above this critical value. By optimizing the operating schedule of heat pumps
the typical daily revenue of the system can be increased by 1 722 yuan
which is a significant improvement compared to conventional operation modes.
