DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Claims 1-9 are pending.
Claim Objections
Claims 1 and 5 are objected to because of the following informalities: The term “"based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply" in line 3 should read "based on concentrating solar power-combined heat and power (CSP-CHP) combined energy supply". Appropriate correction is required.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112(b)
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
(b) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph:
The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
Claim(s) 1, 5-9 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor, or for pre-AIA the applicant regards as the invention.
Claims 1, 5-9 each recite the limitation "certain area" in multiple locations. It is unclear what the requirements are to meet the claimed "certain area". The meaning of the term is not clear from the claims or specification.
Dependent claims 2-4 are rejected based on dependence on claim 1.
Claims 1, 5 each recite the limitation "certain capacity configuration requirements". It is unclear what the requirements are to meet the claimed "certain capacity configuration requirements". The meaning of the term is not clear from the claims or specification.
Dependent claims 2-4 and 6-9 are rejected based on dependence on claims 1 and 5 respectively.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claim 1 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejections(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b), as set forth in this office action.
Dependent claim(s) 2-4 is/are allowable over art based on their dependence upon claim 1.
The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter: Applicant’s claim defines over the prior art of record because the prior art of record, taken either alone or in combination, does not teach for managing heat-electric outputs of a high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply, wherein the method is conducted based on the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply built in a certain area, is to improve the stability of an electric power out and a heat output of the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply; wherein, the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply comprises at least one traditional coal-fired unit, at least one wind unit, at least one photovoltaic unit, at least one CHP unit, and at least one CSP unit are built according to certain capacity configuration requirements, wherein the at least one CSP unit comprises a solar concentrating and heat collecting apparatus, a heat storage apparatus, and a power generation apparatus; wherein
the method comprising:
establishing an improved CSP unit model and an improved CHP unit model based on the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply built in the certain area;

measuring on-line capacities of the units in the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply by measuring apparatus;
inputting the measured on-line capacity of the each of the units to the collaborative optimization model of the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply, then solving the collaborative optimization model, to obtain a sum of hourly electric power outputs of the units in the high-proportion new energy system based on CSP-CHP combined energy supply, and a sum of hourly heat outputs of the CHP unit and the CSP unit; and
when the sum of the hourly heat outputs or the sum of the hourly electric power outputs is greater than a first predetermined output value, converting electric power exceeding a demand for electrical load in the high-proportion new energy system to heat energy, and storing the heat energy into the heat storage apparatus, or storing directly heat energy exceeding a demand for heat load in the high-proportion new energy system in the heat storage apparatus; and
when the sum of the hourly heat outputs or the sum of the hourly electric power outputs is less than a second predetermined output value, outputting the heat energy stored in the heat storage apparatus to the at least one CSP unit for power generation, further for smoothing an unstable power outputted by the power generator in the at least one CSP unit; or, directly outputting the heat energy stored in the heat storage apparatus to provide an additional heat input to a gas turbine in the at least one CHP unit, and respond to the demand of heat load respond to the demand for heat load;

Claim 5 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejections(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b), as set forth in this office action.
Dependent claim(s) 6-9 is/are allowable over art based on their dependence upon claim 5.
The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter: Applicant’s claim defines over the prior art of record because the prior art of record, taken either alone or in combination, does not teach at least one traditional coal-fired unit, at least one wind unit, at least one photovoltaic unit, at least one CHP unit, and at least one CSP unit are built according to certain capacity configuration requirements, wherein the at least one CSP unit includes a solar concentrating and heat collecting apparatus, respectively connected to a heat storage apparatus and a power generation apparatus, where the solar concentrating and heat collecting apparatus is configured to absorb solar energy, convert the solar energy into heat energy through a heat transfer fluid, and transmit the heat energy to the heat storage apparatus and the power generation apparatus, respectively; the heat storage apparatus, respectively connected to a gas turbine in the at least one CHP unit, the solar concentrating and heat collecting apparatus, and an external heating output, and configured to store the heat energy and smooth an unstable power outputted by the power generator of the at least one CSP unit, provide an additional heat input to the gas turbine in the at least one CHP unit, and respond to the demand of heat load through a controlled output of the stored heat; and the power generation apparatus, respectively connected to the solar concentrating and heat collecting apparatus and a waste heat boiler in the at least one CHP unit to convert the heat energy into electric power.
Citation of Pertinent Prior Art
The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.
McDaniel et al, US Patent Pub US 20170331298 A1 relates to claims regarding operating a hybrid energy system that includes a gas-turbine generator configured to provide a full-load power output and a storage device configured to store energy
Mokheimer et al, US Patent Pub US 10408128 B2 relates to claims regarding a system for generating electricity, heat, and desalinated water having a gas turbine system connected to a first electric generator, a waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) system, a combined heat and power (CHP) generation system connected to a second electric generator, and one or more solar powered energy systems.
Du et al, "Exploring the Benefit of CSP to Serve Both Electrical Load and Heat Load", 2021, 2021 Power System and Green Energy Conference, pp 1-5 relates to claims regarding a solar combined heat and power (SCHP) plant through extracting part of intermediate solar thermal energy to serve heat demand.
