Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogenation at hydrogen refueling stations, and in particular to a hydrogen refueling station system. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy is internationally recognized as the green energy of the future due to its high energy efficiency, wide sources, renewable energy, and zero pollution from combustion products. Faced with the severe challenge of global climate change, the development of green energy has become a common goal of all countries. Hydrogen energy is internationally recognized as the green energy of the future due to its high energy efficiency, wide sources, renewable energy, and zero pollution from combustion products. In recent years, many countries and regions including the United States, Japan, China, South Korea, and the European Union have been vigorously developing hydrogen-powered vehicles and actively building hydrogen refueling stations and related hydrogen energy infrastructure. Hydrogen-powered vehicles have become an important application direction in the field of new energy.

[0003] In the existing hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen refueling station designs, the source of hydrogen is mainly produced through high-carbon emission chemical processes such as natural gas reforming; the transportation of hydrogen mainly relies on long-distance high-pressure hydrogen transportation or liquid hydrogen transportation to hydrogen refueling stations to provide services for hydrogen energy vehicles. The cost of hydrogen production and transportation is high and is accompanied by high carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutant emissions. With the popularization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the hydrogen refueling station network needs to achieve a distribution network similar to that of gas stations to increase the endurance and coverage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. At remote stations or sites with difficult access to municipal electricity, hydrogen refueling stations are required to have the ability to produce and store hydrogen on-site and provide their own electricity energy consumption.

[0004] In order to meet the construction needs of hydrogen refueling stations in the future, the skid-mounted in-station hydrogen production technology with high integration, convenient layout, small footprint, less civil construction, quick installation and fast station construction has significant advantages, which is the development trend of hydrogen refueling station construction in the future. At present, hydrogen refueling stations are mainly fixed stations, and fixed hydrogen refueling stations mainly use 35MPa hydrogen filling, even if there is 70Mpa filling, it is reserved. In addition, the process system of the conventional 70MPa filling pressure hydrogen refueling station still has the following problems: First, because the hydrogen filling port and hydrogen output port of the hydrogen storage bottle group are the same port, when the hydrogen storage bottle group supplies gas to the hydrogen filling machine, the hydrogen compression equipment cannot work, and the utilization rate of the hydrogen compression equipment is low. In addition, it is impossible to obtain hydrogen source from external hydrogen storage equipment in time, or when the internal supply of the hydrogen refueling station is sufficient, hydrogen cannot be sold out in time; second, although it is artificially divided into three levels of high, medium and low pressure, the rated working pressure of each hydrogen storage bottle of the hydrogen storage bottle group is the same, and the number of high-pressure hydrogen storage bottles is large, which is dangerous.

[0005] In summary, compressors generally tend to be designed according to one output pressure state and are usually only applicable to one design condition, which is not conducive to achieving energy saving in hydrogen refueling stations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a multi-stage dual-pressure hydrogen compressor to directly build a 20 / 45MPa dual-pressure hydrogen refueling station. Summary of the invention

When the hydrogen pressure in the first hydrogen storage bottle group is not enough to make the hydrogen pressure of the equipment to be hydrogenated reach the required value, the second hydrogen storage bottle group is switched to fill hydrogen into the equipment to be hydrogenated through the hydrogen filling machine until the hydrogen pressure of the equipment to be hydrogenated reaches the required value.
