Description

Technical field:

[0002] With the continuous expansion of wind power and photovoltaic power in recent years, affected by the output characteristics of wind power, photovoltaic power output and electricity load characteristics, wind farms and photovoltaic power stations in most areas have the phenomenon of wind abandonment and light abandonment and power rationing. Since the power grid lacks peak-shaving means such as energy storage facilities, it has to limit the output of wind turbines and photovoltaic modules, which has a significant impact on the operating hours of wind power and photovoltaic power.

[0003] At present, the technologies for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water include alkaline electrolysis technology, solid polymer electrolysis technology (SPE) and solid oxide electrolysis technology (SOEC); among them, alkaline electrolysis technology is the most mature and has the lowest cost, and has been applied in large-scale hydrogen production, but its efficiency is relatively low. Although SPE electrolysis technology has been improved to a certain extent compared with alkaline electrolysis technology, after taking into account the loss of auxiliary equipment, the system efficiency is still not high, and it is not an ideal solution; high-temperature SOEC technology, which works at around 800°C, has greatly improved electrolysis efficiency compared with alkaline electrolysis technology and SPE electrolysis technology working at around 80°C, and is the most promising water electrolysis hydrogen production technology among the three technologies.

During the low load period of the power grid, the new energy electricity is stored, and the saturated water vapor is heated by the heat energy stored in the solid heat storage boiler 4. During the peak load period of the power grid, the electric heating power is reduced, making this technology grid-friendly; thereby, it plays the role of smoothing the fluctuations in wind and solar power output, improving resource utilization, and allowing excess new energy electricity to be stored through thermal energy, providing a peak-shaving and valley-filling means for the power grid; secondly, the saturated water vapor generated by the resistance electric boiler 4.3 is heated to 800°C superheated water vapor, providing superheated water vapor for the solid oxide electrolysis cell 3.3; the gas flow rate is adjusted by the gas flow control valve 4.5, thereby achieving control of the temperature of the high-temperature raw water vapor.
