Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of new energy preparation, and particularly relates to an electro / thermal chemical cascade hydrogen production system and method for solar radiation energy grading and waste light energy heat complementary coupling. Background Art

[0002] Due to the advantages of solar energy such as being clean, sustainable, and having huge energy, it is regarded as an important direction for future energy development. However, due to its objective discontinuity, there is a large-scale problem of abandoned light, and the medium and low-grade solar energy cannot be effectively utilized, resulting in difficulties in improving the utilization and conversion efficiency of solar energy. Hydrogen energy is a secondary energy source with high calorific value and no pollution. Converting solar energy into hydrogen energy through water decomposition for storage and utilization is a very promising energy utilization method, and using solar energy to produce hydrogen energy is also considered one of the most ideal hydrogen production routes in the future. Photovoltaic power generation is an efficient photoelectric conversion method, but photovoltaic cells can only convert high-grade solar energy within a specific wavelength range into electrical energy, and a large amount of solar energy is wasted. The spectral splitting technology can decompose solar radiation energy into different bands, enabling each band to be effectively utilized. The high-grade solar radiation energy is directly converted into electrical energy through photovoltaic power generation; while the low-grade remaining band energy can be complemented with fossil fuels to achieve a large increase in energy grade. However, there is still a lack of a single way to fully and efficiently utilize high-grade thermal energy at present. Therefore, cascaded conversion and utilization of energy is a scientific and effective way.

[0003] In terms of hydrogen production technology, both solid oxide electrolytic cell water decomposition for hydrogen production and copper-chlorine cycle hydrogen production are clean and efficient hydrogen production methods. There are no greenhouse gas emissions during the hydrogen production process, and both require input of electrical energy and thermal energy of different grades. The difference is that the solid oxide electrolytic cell for water decomposition to produce hydrogen needs to maintain a high-temperature environment of 700 - 800 °C, while the highest temperature required in the copper-chlorine cycle is only 530 °C. The energy required by both can match the solar radiation energy grading and waste light energy heat complementary cascaded conversion utilization method (power generation and heat supply), realizing the coupling of different quality energies, and providing an efficient solar hydrogen production route. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the above technical status quo, the present invention aims to provide an electro / thermal chemical cascade hydrogen production system and method for solar radiation energy grading and waste light energy heat complementary coupling, which frequency-divides natural sunlight for utilization.

[0013] The solid oxide electrolysis cell device heats the electrolysis reaction raw materials by utilizing the heat energy contained in the second-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 850 - 1000 °C through the third-stage heat exchanger, converting it into the third-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 750 - 850 °C and feeding it into the solid oxide electrolysis cell; the solid oxide electrolysis cell utilizes the third-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 750 - 850 °C and the electric energy generated by the system's photovoltaic power generation to drive the solid oxide electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen, converting the third-stage high-temperature flue gas into the fourth-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 530 - 680 °C and feeding it into the thermochemical reaction device;

[0014] In the thermochemical reaction device, the pyrolysis reaction chamber utilizes the heat energy contained in the fourth-stage high-temperature flue gas to drive the pyrolysis reaction, converting it into the fifth-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 400 - 460 °C and feeding it into the hydrolysis reaction chamber; the hydrolysis reaction chamber utilizes the heat energy contained in the fifth-stage high-temperature flue gas to drive the hydrolysis reaction, converting it into the sixth-stage high-temperature flue gas with a temperature of 130 - 200 °C and feeding it into the drying reaction chamber; the drying reaction chamber utilizes the heat energy contained in the sixth-stage high-temperature flue gas to drive the drying reaction, converting it into low-temperature flue gas and discharging it; the electrolysis reaction chamber utilizes the electric energy generated by the system's photovoltaic power generation to carry out the electrolysis reaction to produce hydrogen.
