The invention belongs to the technical field of
methanol hydrogen production, and discloses an online
methanol hydrogen production global
control system, which comprises a feeding and
evaporation unit, a reforming reaction unit, a gas purification and separation unit, a
hydrogen storage and supply unit, a multi-source sensor group and a controller, the controller comprises a soft measurement module, a double-layer
model prediction control module and a safety degradation module, and the soft measurement module estimates CO concentration in real
time based on characteristics such as a temperature field, pressure drop and
heating power. The double-layer
model predictive control module realizes comprehensive optimization of
hydrogen purity, energy efficiency and catalyst life through combination of inner-layer steady-
state control and outer-layer
economic optimization, and the safety degradation module triggers limited power or inerting purging operation under abnormal conditions. According to the invention, the whole-process
optimal control from feeding, reaction, purification to
hydrogen supply can be realized, the
hydrogen purity and the
system efficiency are improved, the CO concentration fluctuation is reduced, the service life of the catalyst is prolonged, and continuous and safe
hydrogen supply is still maintained under the condition of sensor failure or operation disturbance.
