Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solid oxide fuel cells, and in particular relates to a SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system and a coordinated control method. Background Art
[0002] Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) combined heat and power (CHP) systems, as a highly efficient, low-carbon distributed energy technology, have garnered widespread attention in recent years across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Their core advantage lies in their ability to directly generate electricity through electrochemical reactions while simultaneously recovering high-temperature waste heat for heating, achieving an overall energy efficiency exceeding 85%. However, as energy systems evolve toward a low-carbon, intelligent, and multi-energy-compatibility-based system, traditional SOFC CHP systems are increasingly exposed to limitations in terms of energy flexibility, dynamic responsiveness, and adaptability across all scenarios. Early SOFC CHP systems primarily focused on static optimization of a single energy source. For example, Japan's ENE-FARM system achieves combined heating, cooling, and power for households through internal reforming of natural gas. However, its thermal management is limited to directly utilizing high-temperature waste heat for heating, while low-temperature waste heat (<300°C) is often wasted or inefficiently utilized. With increasing renewable energy penetration and increasing user-side load fluctuations, traditional systems are struggling to adapt to dynamic demand, necessitating the introduction of thermal storage and heat pump technologies to enhance flexibility.
[0003] Thermal storage systems, using phase change materials (PCMs), molten salt tanks, or sensible heat storage media, can store waste heat generated by SOFCs in a tiered manner, addressing the temporal and spatial mismatch between thermal power supply and demand. For example, high-temperature thermal storage (>600°C) can be used directly in industrial processes, medium- and low-temperature thermal storage (300-600°C) can be used for district heating, and low-temperature thermal storage (<300°C) must be combined with heat pumps to improve energy efficiency. However, the design of coupling thermal storage units with SOFCs faces multiple challenges, including heat loss, material compatibility, and control complexity.
[0004] Heat pumps (both absorption and compression types) can convert low-grade thermal energy into high-grade heat or cooling, significantly expanding the energy output of SOFC systems. For example, absorption heat pumps can utilize waste heat at 80-150°C to drive the refrigeration cycle, while compression heat pumps achieve thermal energy upgrade through electrical input. However, the introduction of heat pumps increases the complexity of energy interactions between system levels, particularly when switching between multiple operating modes, which can lead to efficiency drops.
[0005] To meet the above challenges, we should explore the combination of SOFC with heat storage systems and heat pump technologies to build an integrated energy system with multi-energy complementarity, so as to further improve energy utilization efficiency, balance supply and demand fluctuations and expand application scenarios.

[0049] Second, multi-media heat storage is used to weaken the coupling between heat storage capacity and heat release power, avoiding the situation where the heat release rate of the heat storage tank is limited by the heat exchanger design and cannot respond to a sudden increase in heat load in a short period of time, forcing the SOFC to start and stop frequently to adjust the output, resulting in accelerated aging of the material.

[0053] Figure 2 This is a step diagram of the coordinated control method for the SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0055] A multi-energy complementary SOFC-heat storage-heat pump system includes a fuel processing module and a SOFC power generation device. The outlet of the fuel processing module is connected to the fuel inlet of the SOFC power generation device for desulfurization and purification. Its main functions include: 1. Fuel purification: removing impurities such as sulfide (H2S) to prevent SOFC electrode poisoning; 2. Fuel reforming: converting hydrocarbon fuel into hydrogen-rich gas for use in SOFC electrochemical reactions; 3. Fuel adaptation: making the entire system compatible with multiple fuels (hydrogen, natural gas, biomass gas), improving system flexibility.
[0056] The SOFC power generation device is the core power generation unit, which is used to directly convert the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. At the same time, high-temperature waste heat (600-1000°C) is generated during the power generation process, providing a high-quality heat source for subsequent thermal utilization.
[0057] The SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system also includes: a gas turbine connected to the anode gas outlet of the SOFC power generation device, and the gas turbine uses the high-temperature gas at the anode of the SOFC power generation device to perform secondary power generation, converting high-temperature waste heat into medium-temperature waste heat.
[0058] The SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system also includes: a heat storage system, which is connected to the gas turbine exhaust outlet. The heat storage system stores the medium-temperature waste heat of the gas after gas turbine power generation in the heat storage system through a heat exchanger. The heat storage system is used for waste heat storage and buffering, thereby solving the problem of temporal and spatial mismatch between thermal power supply and demand.
[0059] Furthermore, the heat storage system uses multiple heat storage media to store heat, which is used to weaken the coupling between heat storage capacity and heat release power, avoiding the situation where the heat release rate of the heat storage tank is limited by the heat exchanger design, and is unable to respond to a sudden increase in heat load in a short period of time, forcing the SOFC to be frequently started and stopped to adjust the output, resulting in accelerated material aging.
[0060] The SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system also includes a heat pump connected to the outlet of the heat storage system's heat carrier medium. The heat pump uses the stored heat in the heat storage system as a driving heat source via a heat exchanger. The heat pump converts low-temperature waste heat into high-quality heat (for heating) or cooling (for cooling), supporting dual heating and cooling modes, adapting to seasonal load fluctuations and expanding energy output options.
[0061] The SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system also includes: a power conversion module connected to the power output port of the SOFC power generation device and a power storage system. The power conversion module is used to convert the direct current generated by the SOFC into alternating current to meet the needs of users or the power grid; the energy stored in the power storage system can be used as emergency energy, and can also be used to store energy when the gas turbine and SOFC load are low, and output energy when the gas turbine and SOFC load are high, for peak shaving and valley filling, and to reduce fluctuations in the gas turbine and SOFC.
[0062] The integrated system of SOFC, thermal storage system and heat pump aims to achieve efficient electricity-heat-cooling conversion, dynamic matching of supply and demand, and low-carbon operation through energy cascade utilization and multi-energy complementarity. The physical properties of the three differ significantly.
[0063] The present invention also provides a coordinated control method for a SOFC-heat storage-heat pump multi-energy complementary system, comprising the following steps:
[0064] S1: Establish a three-level collaborative control architecture consisting of a global optimization layer, a device control layer, and an execution layer. The hourly global optimization layer formulates a 24-hour energy scheduling plan based on load, electricity price, and weather forecast data. The minute-level device control layer adjusts SOFC power, heat storage charge and discharge rates, and heat pump mode (heating / cooling) in real time. The second-level execution layer uses PID or adaptive control to achieve precise adjustment of parameters such as stack temperature and heat pump compressor speed.
[0065] S2: Build an information interaction framework and deploy temperature, pressure, current, and gas composition sensors to collect real-time data on the stack efficiency, heat storage status, and key heat pump parameters; and enable data exchange between the SOFC controller, heat storage management system, and heat pump controller.
[0066] S3: Build a dynamic energy management strategy and implement waste heat hierarchical scheduling:
[0067] High-temperature waste heat (>600℃): prioritizes driving gas turbines for power generation;
[0068] Medium-temperature waste heat (300-600°C): stored in molten salt tanks or phase change materials and used during peak heat load periods;
[0069] Low-temperature waste heat (<300°C): Input into an absorption heat pump and upgraded to high-quality heat or cooling.
[0070] S4: Constructing a coordinated optimization control mode of electricity and heat:
[0071] Electricity price-oriented mode: During off-peak electricity price periods, grid electricity is used to drive compression heat pumps for heat storage, reducing daytime operating costs;
[0072] Renewable energy priority mode: When photovoltaic / wind power output is sufficient, the SOFC operates at reduced load, and the heat pump directly uses green electricity, reducing natural gas consumption.
[0073] S5: Construct the optimization objective function, optimize the target regularly, and perform rolling optimization:
[0074] Step 1: Construction of target model. The empirical model can be used to construct the target module model.
[0075] 1. Fuel cost target model: C gas ·P SOFC , used to reflect the economic cost of SOFC fuel consumption;
[0076]
[0077] 2. Electricity purchase cost target model: C grid ·P grid ;
[0078] 3. Carbon cost target model: λ·CO2, used to quantify the environmental cost of system carbon emissions and promote low-carbon operation;
[0079] CO2(t)=P SOFC Carbon 燃料碳强度 +P grid Carbon 电网碳强度
[0080] 4. Equipment life loss cost target model: μ·ΔD(t), ΔD(t) is the life loss of the equipment in period t, and μ is the life cost coefficient;
[0081] 5. Renewable energy consumption incentive target model: -γ·P RE (t), P RE is the photovoltaic / wind power output, γ is the reward coefficient, which encourages the priority use of green electricity;
[0082] Step 2: The objective function of the rolling optimization is a weighted sum of multiple objective modules, aiming to minimize total cost, carbon emissions or maximize energy efficiency;
[0083]
[0084] Parameters in the formula:
[0085] t: time step is initially set to 15 minutes / step, N: prediction horizon is initially set to 24 hours, N=96;
[0086] P SOFC (t): power generation of SOFC in period t (kW);
[0087] P grid(t): Electricity purchased from the grid during period t (kW);
[0088] C gas : fuel price (yuan / kWh);
[0089] C grid : Grid time-of-use electricity price (yuan / kWh);
[0090] CO2(t): Carbon emissions in period t (kg);
[0091] λ: carbon price weight coefficient (yuan / kg);
[0092] Step 3: Set the constraints of the objective function. The objective function needs to be solved under physical and operational constraints. The constraints include:
[0093] SOFC power limit: 0.4P rated ≤P SOFC ≤0.9P rated , avoid operation in the low-efficiency zone (<40%) or overload damage (>90%);
[0094] Thermal storage system SOC range: 20% ≤ SOC(t) ≤ 95%, to prevent overcharging / overdischarging of the thermal storage tank and causing material aging;
[0095] Heat pump start and stop times: δHP(t) is the start / stop flag variable of the heat pump, which reduces mechanical wear;
[0096] S6: Calibration of weight coefficients and calibration of the balance between the prediction time domain and the control time domain:
[0097] The weight coefficients λ, μ, and γ are determined through historical data regression or expert experience. The carbon price weight λ can refer to the price in the regional carbon trading market. A prediction time domain that is too long may introduce large errors, while a prediction time domain that is too short may not cover the load cycle. The balance between the prediction time domain and the control time domain needs to be calibrated through trial operation experience.
[0098] The rolling optimization objective function quantifies economic costs, environmental costs, and equipment lifespan loss, providing a globally optimal decision-making basis for the multi-energy complementary system. In practical applications, the function structure and weights must be dynamically adjusted based on specific scenarios (such as time-of-use electricity pricing), while strictly meeting equipment physical constraints to ensure efficient, reliable, and low-carbon system operation.
