Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of energy scheduling, and in particular relates to a coordinated scheduling method for an electricity-hydrogen-waste multi-energy system based on phase change material heat storage. Background Art
[0002] As an efficient method for treating municipal solid waste, waste incineration power generation not only reduces waste and renders it harmless, but also enables the effective recycling of resources. In the context of global low-carbon development, the traditional fossil fuel-dominated energy system is facing multiple challenges, including resource shortages, environmental pollution, and excessive carbon emissions. The large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics injects clean power into the energy system, but their inherent randomness and volatility lead to prominent problems of wind and solar power curtailment, which seriously restricts the absorption of new energy. Therefore, studying the coordinated operation of waste incineration power plants and renewable energy is of great significance to the low-carbon and clean energy transformation of cities.
[0003] The characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) are significantly influenced by the geographical environment, economic development, and the living standards of residents. There are systematic differences between MSW and developed countries in terms of composition and thermodynamic properties. In my country, food waste generally accounts for 50%-60% of MSW. This high organic matter content results in a moisture content generally ranging from 40% to 60%. This high moisture content not only increases the difficulty and cost of waste disposal but also reduces the calorific value of the waste, limiting the energy recovery efficiency of waste incineration. While existing research focuses on improving the efficiency of waste incineration power plants by recovering waste heat from flue gas, it does not effectively store the recovered heat energy. Furthermore, flue gas temperature fluctuates significantly, and using waste heat recovery for drying presents problems such as unstable heat supply, a single heat source, and poor system flexibility.
[0004] In fact, a variety of heat sources can be used for garbage drying, among which alkaline electrolyzers have shown good application prospects. Alkaline electrolyzers generate a large amount of waste heat during operation, accounting for about 20-30% of the input energy. Alkaline electrolyzers use renewable energy to produce hydrogen and recover waste heat, which greatly improves energy utilization efficiency while promoting wind and solar power consumption. In addition, alkaline electrolyzers have the advantages of mature technology and low equipment cost. They are currently suitable for large-scale engineering applications. However, although existing research has made significant progress in the recovery of waste heat from alkaline electrolyzers, none of them involve the storage of recovered heat energy, which to a certain extent limits the further improvement of energy utilization efficiency.
[0005] In the field of thermal energy storage research, phase change materials (PCMs) have attracted widespread attention as a new type of heat storage medium. Phase change materials achieve efficient thermal energy storage and release by absorbing or releasing a large amount of phase change latent heat, and exhibit quasi-isothermal characteristics during the phase change process. Their high energy storage density and small size enable efficient and stable thermal energy regulation in thermal management systems. However, phase change materials are currently mainly used in building structures, electronic devices, and solar thermal systems. Research on their application in alkaline electrolyzer waste heat recovery and garbage drying is still relatively scarce and urgently needs further in-depth exploration.
[0006] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of coordinated optimization of energy efficiency improvement of waste incineration power plants and renewable energy consumption, this paper proposes an optimization scheduling method for an electricity-hydrogen-heat-waste multi-energy coordinated system based on phase change material heat storage.

Furthermore, a phase change material is used as a heat source to pre-dry the garbage, effectively reducing the moisture content of the garbage and increasing the calorific value of the garbage entering the furnace, thereby improving the efficiency of the garbage incineration power plant. Then, a process route of first purifying and then separating CO2 is adopted, and by introducing a flue gas storage device, the independent operation of garbage incineration power generation and flue gas treatment processes is realized. Finally, based on the model predictive control theory, a two-stage scheduling strategy combining day-ahead and day-intraday is proposed, and the feasibility and superiority of the proposed system architecture and scheduling strategy are verified through simulation examples.

The system's excess electricity is supplied to the upper grid (Grid) through electricity sales. The alkaline electrolyzer produces hydrogen by electrolyzing water to supply the hydrogen load (Hydrogen Load). In the waste incineration power plant, waste treatment adopts a process of drying first and then incineration to generate electricity. The heat required for drying is provided by a phase change material (PCM), and the heat energy of the phase change material comes from the electrolyzer and the heat pump. In addition, a flue gas storage device (FST) is added to achieve the separation of flue gas treatment and waste incineration power generation. Through multi-energy collaborative optimization, the system achieves efficient integration of renewable energy, hydrogen energy, heat energy and waste treatment.
[0067] Preferably, the alkaline electrolyzer model provided in an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the alkaline electrolyzer decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen through an electrochemical reaction, accompanied by significant heat release. Without considering energy losses during the electrolysis reaction, the electrolyzer's power consumption always maintains a dynamic balance with the power of hydrogen production and heat generation. The electrolyzer's daily hydrogen production is constant, used to meet the user's hydrogen load demand. The alkaline electrolyzer model is shown in formulas (1)-(6).

[0075] Preferably, the waste incineration power plant model provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: the heat required for the waste drying process and the amount of power generated by waste incineration are closely related to the moisture content of the waste and the treatment quality. The total daily waste treatment volume of the waste incineration power plant remains constant, but its treatment load can be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs. The waste incineration power plant model is shown in formulas (16)-(22):
[0076]
[0077] Where: P t WI Generates power for waste incineration power plants.

[0078] Preferably, the flue gas treatment model provided in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: During the incineration process, a waste incineration power plant generates a large amount of flue gas, which contains a variety of pollutants and greenhouse gases such as CO2. The flue gas first passes through a purification system to remove pollutants, and then passes through a CO2 separation device to effectively separate greenhouse gases. To further optimize system operation, a flue gas storage device is introduced to achieve decoupled operation of the flue gas treatment system and the waste incineration power generation system.

[0089] As a preference, the two-stage optimization scheduling strategy provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the electricity-hydrogen-heat-waste coupled system adopts a two-stage optimization scheduling strategy, day-ahead and intraday. In the day-ahead scheduling stage, the optimal operation plan for each subsystem within the scheduling cycle is obtained using a 1-hour time scale and a 24-hour scheduling cycle.

The objective functions of day-ahead scheduling are shown in equations (35)-(38). In addition to the constraints related to each device, the constraints also include system power balance constraints, as shown in equation (39).
[0091]
[0092] P tWT +P t PV +P t WI =P t EL +P t F +P t C +P t HP +P t E (39)

The output of each device, the heat storage capacity of the phase change material and the gas storage capacity of the flue gas storage device are adjusted to ensure that the system meets the power, heat and flue gas balance in real time. The objective function of the intraday scheduling is shown in formula (40). The constraints are similar to those of the day-ahead scheduling, but due to the change in the time dimension, the time scale changes from 1 hour to 15 minutes, and the constraints of the corresponding devices need to be adjusted, as shown in formulas (41)-(45).
[0095]
[0096] Where: F in is the minimum net cost of system daily scheduling, and M is defined as the prediction interval of MPC.
[0097] As a preferred option, three operation schemes of the electricity-hydrogen-heat-waste coupling system are also included:
[0098] Option 1: Consider the comprehensive utilization of phase change material heat storage and alkaline electrolyzer heat recovery.
[0099] Option 2: Considering only the alkaline electrolyzer heat recovery system, without considering phase change material heat storage. The heat required for garbage drying is directly supplied by the electrolyzer heat recovery system and heat pump.
[0100] Option 3: Phase change material heat storage and alkaline electrolyzer heat recovery are not considered. The heat required for garbage drying is completely provided by the heat pump.
[0101] The simulation parameters used are: Taking a waste incineration power plant as an example, the flue gas purification, separation and storage devices are configured. The installed capacity of the waste incineration power plant is 150MW, and the daily waste processing capacity is m All =2000t, initial moisture content of garbage Garbage drying coefficient γ W =0.6782, waste power generation coefficient a=-1.405, b=0.946, phase change material heat storage and heat release efficiency η Abs =η Exo =0.98, self-loss coefficient δ PCM =0.01, rated power of electrolyzer 25MW, hydrogen production efficiency η EL =0.65, daily hydrogen mass The heat pump has a rated power of 20MW and a heat conversion efficiency of η HP =2.5, smoke emission coefficient e F =0.96, flue gas purification power consumption coefficient ω F =0.513, flue gas separation power consumption coefficient ω C =0.23, carbon emission allocation coefficient e C =0.472, carbon trading unit price k C =90¥ / t, unit cost of flue gas treatment k C = 149.52¥ / t, 24h on-grid electricity price Figure 4 shown.
[0102] Simulation results analysis: To verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed model, the Yalmip toolbox in Matlab was used to build the model based on the Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) method, and the Gurobi solver was called for optimization and solution. The simulation results of the electric-hydrogen-heat-waste coupling system under various operation schemes are shown in the figure below. Figures 5 to 13 shown.
[0103] Depend on Figure 4As can be seen, wind power output exhibits a relatively even distribution over time, with peak wind power generation occurring between 21:00 and 5:00 the following day. However, the on-grid electricity price during this period is relatively low, so wind power is primarily used to power the alkaline electrolyzer for water electrolysis and hydrogen production, as well as the heat pump for electrical-to-heat conversion, to meet the system's daily hydrogen load and phase change material heat storage needs. Photovoltaic power output is limited by sunlight intensity and only occurs between 7:00 and 19:00, peaking between 12:00 and 15:00. On-grid electricity prices are higher between 8:00 and 21:00. Since waste incineration plants process a fixed amount of waste daily, their power generation is primarily concentrated between 9:00 and 21:00, while the system's on-grid connection is concentrated between 7:00 and 21:00. The flue gas treatment process consists of two stages: purification and CO2 separation. There is a significant coupling relationship between the power consumption of flue gas purification and CO2 separation.
[0104] Depend on Figure 5 As can be seen, the system's daily hydrogen load demand is fixed, the electrolyzer recovers relatively little heat, and the phase change material's heat primarily comes from the heat pump's electrical heat conversion. The waste treatment process involves drying followed by incineration for power generation, creating a strong coupling between waste drying and incineration power generation. The quality and degree of waste treatment directly impact system operation: the greater the amount of waste processed per unit time, the more thorough the drying, the greater the heat required, and the correspondingly increased incineration power generation. Between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, the heat absorbed by waste drying is zero, and during this period, electricity prices are lower, so waste is incinerated without drying for power generation. Between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, the phase change material's heat storage capacity is low, so the drying process ceases. The phase change material's heat storage and discharge processes are completely decoupled. When the electrolyzer and heat pump are operating, the phase change material's heat storage capacity increases; when the waste drying process absorbs heat, its heat storage capacity decreases. The system concentrates waste drying and incineration during peak electricity price periods.
[0105] Depend on Figure 6 As can be seen, the introduction of flue gas storage devices decouples waste incineration power generation from flue gas treatment. During periods of high electricity prices, the flue gas storage devices can temporarily store flue gas generated by waste incineration, allowing flue gas treatment to proceed when electricity prices are lower. However, due to the capacity constraints of the flue gas storage devices, a certain connection between flue gas treatment and waste incineration power generation still exists.
[0106] Depend on Figures 7 to 9As can be seen, in Scheme 2, after removing the phase change material heat storage, the heat released by the electrolyzer and heat pump cannot be stored and must be used in real time for waste drying. This results in a strong coupling between the heat released by the electrolyzer and heat pump and the heat absorbed by the waste drying process. Compared to Scheme 1, the electrolyzer power consumption in Scheme 2 is essentially the same, but waste incineration power generation continues throughout the 24-hour period, and the flue gas inflow to the flue gas storage device is more dispersed. Between 8:00 and 22:00, the electrolyzer and heat pump are shut down, and the waste is incinerated directly to generate electricity without drying. Because electricity prices are higher during this period and the electrolyzer's hydrogen production during other hours already meets the system's daily hydrogen load, direct incineration power generation and the use of this electricity for grid connection and flue gas treatment are more rational. Although Scheme 2 and Scheme 1 process the same total daily waste, Scheme 2's overall power generation is reduced due to the lower heat absorption and drying degree of the waste in Scheme 2.
[0107] Depend on Figures 10 to 13 As can be seen, in Scheme 3, without considering phase change material heat storage and electrolyzer heat recovery, the heat required for waste drying is entirely supplied by the heat pump, resulting in a strong coupling between the heat released by the heat pump and the heat absorbed by the waste drying process. In Scheme 3, waste drying occurs only between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM the following day. During this period, waste incineration power generation and wind power are primarily used to power the electrolyzer for hydrogen production and flue gas treatment. The power supplied to the heat pump is only half that of Scheme 1, and the heat released by the electrolyzer is not utilized. Therefore, Scheme 3 achieves a lower degree of waste drying and reduces waste incineration power generation. Although Scheme 3's electrical power, thermal power, and flue gas balance are similar to those of Scheme 2, the heat pump consumes more power because it does not utilize the heat released by the electrolyzer.

[0110] Table 1 shows the operating costs and benefits of each system scheme. Scheme 1 has the highest waste incineration power plant output and produces the most flue gas, resulting in the highest flue gas treatment costs. Since carbon emission quotas are proportional to output, Scheme 1 has the highest carbon emission quotas, the lowest carbon trading costs, and the highest on-grid revenue and net profit. Scheme 2 significantly reduces flue gas treatment costs, significantly reducing the system's on-grid revenue, leading to a significant decrease in net profit. Scheme 2's carbon trading costs are lower than those of Scheme 1, but the change is small, indicating that phase change material heat storage has a limited impact on carbon trading. Scheme 3's on-grid revenue further decreases, and net profit further declines. Overall, Scheme 1's net profit increases by approximately 5.28% compared to Scheme 2 and by approximately 6.08% compared to Scheme 3, indicating that phase change material heat storage and electrolyzer heat recovery significantly improve the system's economic benefits.
