BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0020] Figure 1 A system architecture schematic diagram of a heat storage system for a hydrogen supply and storage system is proposed for the present application. Figure 2A method flowchart of a heat storage method for a hydrogen storage hydrogen supply system is provided. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Please refer to the accompanying Figure 1 The present application provides a heat storage system for a hydrogen storage hydrogen supply system, comprising: Integrated water tank for storing waste heat generated by fuel cell generator set; Waste heat recovery side water pump for transporting waste heat of fuel cell generator set to integrated water tank; User water supply side water pump for extracting heat from integrated water tank and supplying to rear-end user; Piping and valve group for connecting various components and adjusting the flow direction and flow of heat; The volume of the integrated water tank is greater than or equal to 35m 3 , the material is stainless steel, the number of waste heat recovery side water pumps is not less than 2, the number of user water supply side water pumps is not less than 2, the material of piping and valve group is 304 stainless steel, and the piping is wrapped with thermal insulation material.

[0023] The integrated water tank is internally provided with a turbulence structure for enhancing the disturbance of fluid in the integrated water tank, and the waste heat recovery side water pump and the user water supply side water pump are both equipped with a variable frequency speed regulation device for adjusting the speed of the water pump according to actual demand.

[0024] Specifically, the waste heat generated by the fuel cell generator set is stored by the integrated water tank, which has a volume greater than or equal to 35m 3 , and the material is stainless steel, which ensures that the water tank has good high temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, and can stably store waste heat. The water tank is internally provided with a turbulence structure, which enhances the disturbance of fluid in the water tank when the waste heat recovery side water pump transports the waste heat to the water tank. On the one hand, it promotes the uniform distribution of heat and avoids local overheating or overcooling, improving the heat storage efficiency; on the other hand, the enhanced disturbance makes the heat transfer more sufficient, which helps the user water supply side water pump to extract heat more efficiently and output hot water with stable temperature.

[0025] The waste heat is stably transported to the storage and supply integrated water tank by the waste heat recovery side water pumps, the number of which is not less than 2. The water pumps are all equipped with a frequency conversion speed regulating device. The device adjusts the rotating speed of the water pump in real time according to the waste heat generation amount of the fuel cell generator set and the temperature, water level and other parameters in the storage and supply integrated water tank. When the waste heat generation amount is large, the rotating speed of the water pump is increased to speed up the waste heat recovery speed. Conversely, the rotating speed is reduced to avoid energy waste. The user water supply side water pump has the same number, which is not less than 2. The water pump extracts heat from the storage and supply integrated water tank and supplies the heat to the rear-end user. The water pump is also equipped with a frequency conversion speed regulating device. The device flexibly adjusts the rotating speed of the water pump according to the actual heat demand of the rear-end user to ensure stable and appropriate heat supply.

[0026] The pipeline and valve group are made of 304 stainless steel, and the pipeline is wrapped with thermal insulation material. The 304 stainless steel material ensures the corrosion resistance of the pipeline and valve group, prolongs the service life, and the wrapping of the thermal insulation material greatly reduces the heat loss in the transmission process and improves the energy utilization rate. The valve group realizes accurate adjustment of the flow direction and flow rate of heat by accurately controlling the opening degree of the valve. For example, under different working conditions, heat can be preferentially allocated to the links in urgent need, such as preferentially meeting the user's heating demand or industrial production heat demand.

[0027] Cascade utilization module: used for cascade utilization of waste heat generated in the hydrogen supply and storage process; the cascade utilization module includes a high-temperature section waste heat power generation unit, a medium-temperature section waste heat refrigeration and industrial application unit, and a low-temperature section waste heat heating and preheating unit. The high-temperature section waste heat power generation unit is used for generating power by composite power generation technology. The medium-temperature section waste heat refrigeration and industrial application unit is used for refrigeration by a combination of absorption refrigeration, adsorption refrigeration and ejector refrigeration, and for preheating of raw gas in the hydrogen purification process. The low-temperature section waste heat heating and preheating unit is used for heating buildings in the station by floor radiant heating and fan coil heating, and preheats raw gas before hydrogen compression by a heat exchanger.

[0028] The composite power generation technology is a power generation technology combining supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle and organic Rankine cycle, and in the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle, carbon dioxide is compressed in a compressor, the compression process follows relevant thermodynamic principles, absorbs heat in a regenerator, absorbs high-temperature waste heat in a high-temperature heater, expands in a turbine expander to generate power, and the carbon dioxide after work is cooled in a cooler. In the organic Rankine cycle, organic working medium absorbs waste heat in an evaporator to evaporate, drives a turbine to generate power, and the exhaust steam is cooled in a condenser, and after being pressurized by a working medium pump, the working medium is circulated again. The absorption refrigeration takes lithium bromide-water as a working pair, and realizes a refrigeration cycle through a generator, a condenser, a throttle valve and an evaporator. The adsorption refrigeration utilizes the adsorption and desorption processes of solid adsorbents to refrigerate. The ejector refrigeration relies on an ejector to inject low-pressure fluid to refrigerate. Raw gas preheating is realized through a heat exchanger.

[0029] Specifically, the waste heat generated in the hydrogen supply and storage process is utilized in stages, so as to adopt the composite power generation technology combining supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle and organic Rankine cycle. In the supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle, carbon dioxide is compressed in a compressor, this process follows relevant thermodynamic principles, and the pressure and temperature of carbon dioxide are raised by consuming electric energy. The compressed carbon dioxide enters a regenerator to absorb waste heat of carbon dioxide discharged from a turbine expander, so as to improve the temperature of the carbon dioxide and the cycle efficiency. Then, the carbon dioxide absorbs high-temperature waste heat generated by a fuel cell generator set in a high-temperature heater to further raise the temperature. Subsequently, the carbon dioxide enters a turbine expander to expand and generate power. The temperature and pressure of the carbon dioxide after work are reduced, and the carbon dioxide enters a cooler to be cooled and then returns to the compressor to complete the cycle. In the organic Rankine cycle, organic working medium (such as pentane) absorbs waste heat in an evaporator to evaporate, forms high-temperature and high-pressure steam, drives a turbine to generate power, and the exhaust steam is cooled in a condenser to become liquid, and then enters the evaporator again after being pressurized by a working medium pump. This composite power generation technology fully utilizes high-temperature waste heat and improves the power generation efficiency.

[0030] By adopting the combination of absorption refrigeration, adsorption refrigeration and ejector refrigeration, the absorption refrigeration takes lithium bromide-water as a working pair. In a generator, lithium bromide solution absorbs medium-temperature waste heat to evaporate water in the solution, and the generated water vapor enters a condenser to be cooled into liquid water. The liquid water enters an evaporator after being depressurized by a throttle valve, absorbs heat in the evaporator to evaporate and refrigerate. The adsorption refrigeration utilizes the adsorption and desorption processes of solid adsorbents (such as activated carbon-methanol) to refrigerate. In the adsorption process, the adsorbent adsorbs refrigerant vapor to reduce the pressure in the evaporator, thereby achieving refrigeration. In the desorption process, the adsorbent releases refrigerant vapor under heating conditions to prepare for the next adsorption refrigeration. The ejector refrigeration relies on an ejector to inject low-pressure fluid to reduce the pressure in the evaporator, thereby achieving refrigeration. In addition, medium-temperature waste heat is utilized to preheat raw gas in a hydrogen purification process through a heat exchanger, thereby improving the hydrogen purification efficiency and reducing the subsequent hydrogen compression energy consumption.

[0031] Low-temperature waste heat is used to heat the buildings in the station by floor radiant heating and fan coil heating. In the floor radiant heating, low-temperature waste heat is radiated to the indoor environment through the floor to create a comfortable indoor environment. In the fan coil heating, the circulating air exchanges heat with the low-temperature waste heat, and the heated air is sent into the indoor environment. At the same time, a heat exchanger is used to preheat the raw gas before hydrogen compression, to increase the initial temperature of the hydrogen, reduce the compression ratio of the compressor, and reduce the energy consumption in the compression process.

[0032] The collaborative transformation module is used for collaborative transformation and storage among various energies. The collaborative transformation module includes a photovoltaic-water electrolysis hydrogen production and energy storage unit and a hydrogen energy-heat storage coupling unit. The photovoltaic-water electrolysis hydrogen production and energy storage unit is used for converting solar energy into electric energy by a photovoltaic module, driving an electrolytic cell to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen by the electric energy, and storing excess electric energy by a hybrid energy storage system composed of lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors. The hydrogen energy-heat storage coupling unit is used for transferring the waste heat generated when the fuel cell generates electricity to the heat storage system through a heat exchanger, preheating the hydrogen by the heat of the heat storage system when the heat storage system has sufficient heat and hydrogen demand, and improving the hydrogen delivery efficiency. When the heat storage system is insufficient, part of the hydrogen is used to generate electricity in a small fuel cell, and the waste heat generated is supplemented to the heat storage system.

[0033] Specifically, by performing collaborative transformation and storage among various energies, solar energy is converted into electric energy by a photovoltaic module. The semiconductor material in the photovoltaic module generates electron-hole pairs under the action of light to form an electric current. Part of the generated electric energy drives an electrolytic cell to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen, and the electric energy is converted into chemical energy and stored in hydrogen. The other part of the excess electric energy is stored by a hybrid energy storage system composed of lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors. The lithium ion batteries have a high energy density and are suitable for long-term storage of electric energy. The supercapacitors have the characteristics of fast charging and discharging and can meet sudden power demand. The combination of the two improves the performance of the energy storage system.

[0034] The waste heat generated when the fuel cell generates electricity is transferred to the heat storage system through a heat exchanger. When the heat storage system has sufficient heat and hydrogen demand, the hydrogen is preheated by the heat of the heat storage system. For example, before the hydrogen is delivered, the heat of the heat storage system is transferred to the hydrogen through a heat exchanger to reduce the density of the hydrogen, reduce the delivery resistance, and improve the hydrogen delivery efficiency. When the heat storage system is insufficient, part of the hydrogen is used to generate electricity in a small fuel cell, and the waste heat generated is supplemented to the heat storage system to maintain the heat balance of the heat storage system, realizing the mutual transformation and storage of hydrogen energy and heat energy.

[0035] The control monitoring module is used for real-time monitoring of parameters of various modules and intelligent control of operation of various devices; the control monitoring module comprises an energy real-time monitoring unit and an intelligent optimization control unit; the energy real-time monitoring unit is used for collecting parameters of the heat storage system, transmitting various data, and performing local data preprocessing on the parameters by using an edge computing technology; a filter algorithm is used to process sensor data to obtain processed data; the intelligent optimization control unit is used for establishing an energy prediction model by using a deep Q network algorithm in deep reinforcement learning based on the processed data, and constructing a constraint optimization model to perform energy distribution and intelligent control of devices.

[0036] The parameters include temperature, pressure, flow, power and electric quantity; a core update formula of the energy prediction model is Q(s,a)←Q(s,a)+α[r+γmax a′ Q(s′,a′)-Q(s,a)], wherein Q(s,a) is a Q value of taking action a in state s, α is a learning rate, r is a reward value obtained after taking action a, γ is a discount factor, s′ is a next state transferred after taking action a, max a′ Q(s′,a′) is a maximum Q value in all possible actions in the next state s′, and the constraint optimization model is P pυ (t) is photovoltaic power at time t, P toad (t) is system load power at time t, P fc (t) is fuel cell power at time t, P electrolyzer (t) is electrolyzer consumption power at time t, and the constraint condition is I electrolyzer (t)≤I max , P fc (t)≥P min , wherein I electrolyzer (t) is electrolyzer current at time t, I max is a maximum current allowed by the electrolyzer, P fc (t) is fuel cell power at time t, and P min is a minimum power generation limit of the fuel cell.

[0037] Specifically, by monitoring the parameters of each module in real time and intelligently controlling the operation of each device, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, power sensors, and electric quantity sensors are installed at key nodes in the system to collect real-time data on temperature, pressure, flow, power, and electric quantity. The collected data is transmitted through industrial Ethernet or 5G communication technology, and edge computing technology is used to preprocess the parameters locally. Edge computing technology can perform preliminary data filtering, analysis, and processing on site, reducing data transmission volume and latency. At the same time, filter algorithms such as Kalman filter algorithms are used to process sensor data, remove noise interference, and obtain accurate and reliable processed data.

[0038] Based on the processed data, an energy prediction model is established using the deep Q-network algorithm in deep reinforcement learning. The deep Q-network algorithm optimizes action selection strategies in different states through continuous trial and error and learning. Through training with a large amount of historical and real-time data, the model can predict energy supply and demand in the future. For example, based on weather data, user energy usage habits, operating status of fuel cell generators and photovoltaic components, and other factors, the model can predict heat demand, power demand, and energy production in different time periods. Then, a constrained optimization model is constructed, considering constraints such as maximum current limits for electrolytic cells and minimum power generation limits for fuel cells, to allocate energy and intelligently control devices. For example, based on energy prediction results, the rotational speed of the waste heat recovery side water pump and the user water supply side water pump can be adjusted, the hydrogen production of the photovoltaic-electrolytic water hydrogen production and energy storage unit and the charge and discharge state of the energy storage system can be controlled, and the conversion of hydrogen and heat in the hydrogen energy-heat storage coupling unit can be coordinated to achieve optimal energy allocation and efficient device operation.

[0039] Design integration module: for designing devices in the system as standardized modules and optimizing integration; the design integration module includes a modular design unit and an integration optimization unit. The modular design unit is used to design each device as a standardized module, including a storage and supply integrated water tank, a waste heat recovery device, a photovoltaic component, an electrolytic cell, and a fuel cell. The integration optimization unit is used to develop unified integration specifications and interface standards to optimize pipeline layout, electrical connections, and communication lines.

[0040] Specifically, by designing the devices in the system as standardized modules and optimizing the integration, the water storage and supply integrated tank, waste heat recovery device, photovoltaic module, electrolytic cell, fuel cell, etc. are designed as standardized modules. The water storage and supply integrated tank is designed as a standard module that can be assembled, facilitating transportation and installation. The volume of the water tank can be adjusted by flexibly combining different numbers of modules according to actual needs. The standardized module of the waste heat recovery device integrates efficient heat exchange components and connecting parts, facilitating connection with other devices. The photovoltaic module is integrated in a container module, which contains photovoltaic arrays, inverters, energy storage devices, etc., realizing integrated installation and convenient maintenance. The electrolytic cell and fuel cell are also designed as standardized modules, with unified interfaces and installation sizes, improving the versatility and scalability of the system.

[0041] By formulating unified integration specifications and interface standards, seamless connection and collaborative work between standardized modules are ensured. In terms of pipeline layout, the Hazen-Williams formula is used to calculate the flow distribution of each pipe section, and the Darcy-Weisbach formula is used to calculate the pressure loss of the pipeline, so that the pipeline material and diameter are reasonably selected, the pipeline direction is optimized, and the energy loss is reduced. In terms of electrical connection, the line resistance and reactance are considered, the wire specification and layout are reasonably selected, and the line loss is reduced.
