Résumé

Decarbonizing industrial heating processes remains a critical challenge in the global energy transition. While high-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) offer a promising pathway, their widespread application is hindered by substantial performance degradation at low ambient temperatures and the requirement for costly power capacity expansion. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel gas-electric hybrid system that deeply integrates an air-source high-temperature heat pump with a gas boiler (GB). The system can operate in multiple modes, including ADHP-only, ADHP-GB hybrid, air-source single-stage heat pump with gas boiler (ASHP-GB), and GB-only modes. A steady-state thermodynamic and economic simulation is conducted to evaluate system performance under varying ambient temperatures and gas-to-electricity price ratios. Results show that at an ambient temperature of -15◦C and a supply temperature of 90◦C, the ADHP–GB mode achieves a system coefficient of performance of 2.38, representing an approximately 40% improvement compared with the ADHP mode. Exergy analysis indicates that the hybrid mode increases exergy efficiency by 76–81% compared with the GB mode, while maintaining acceptable thermodynamic performance relative to the ADHP mode. Economic analysis demonstrates strong competitiveness: at a gas-to-electricity price ratio of 4 and an ambient temperature of 7◦C, the system achieves a payback period of 3.9 years and a net present value (NPV) of 0.2 million yuan. When the price ratio increases to 7, the payback period is reduced to <1 year and the NPV rises to 1.8 million yuan. The results indicate that the proposed system provides a flexible and economically viable solution for industrial high-temperature heating in regions with cold climates and variable energy price structures.
