[0033] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the embodiment of the present invention, and is not used to limit the embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] First of all, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features, and when necessary, the effects that can be achieved by these technical features are basically the same.

[0035] The working process of an ordinary fuel cell is as follows: the fuel gas enters the anode of the fuel cell stack, and the air enters the cathode of the fuel cell stack. After the fuel gas reacts with the air, the anode exhaust gas generated is discharged from the fuel cell through the outlet end of the anode of the stack, and the air that has not completely reacted is discharged from the fuel cell through the outlet end of the cathode of the stack.

[0036] On this basis, the solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention improves the gas path in the fuel cell power generation system to improve the operating efficiency of the fuel cell power generation system.

[0037] Specifically, the fuel cell power generation system provided in the embodiment of the present invention is equipped with a pumping device and a regulating unit that are interconnected on the basis of a conventional structure.

[0038] The working process of the fuel cell power generation system provided by this embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] When the fuel cell power generation system is in the startup state, the regulating functions of the pumping device and the regulating unit are not enabled, the fuel gas directly enters the anode of the stack through the pumping device and the regulating unit, and the air also directly enters the cathode of the stack, and the fuel cell power generation system starts to work;

[0040] During the stable operation of the fuel cell power generation system, the anode tail gas discharged from the anode of the stack contains unreacted fuel gas and the temperature of the anode tail gas is relatively high. On this basis, the anode tail gas coming out of the anode is introduced into a pumping device, which mixes the fuel gas and the anode tail gas into a mixed gas and then supplies it to the anode.

[0041] In particular, while the fuel gas and the anode tail gas are mixed, the anode tail gas can also be used to increase the temperature of the fuel gas.

[0042] Considering that if all the anode tail gas is mixed with the fuel gas, the proportion of the fuel gas component in the mixed gas may be low, affecting the reaction efficiency in the fuel cell stack, it is possible to consider sending only part of the anode tail gas to the pumping device and the regulating unit. For example, the tail gas circulation ratio can be controlled by the regulating unit to be between 0.3 and 2.2, preferably between 0.5 and 2.

[0043] Except for the part of the anode exhaust gas that is sent to the pumping device, the remaining exhaust gas has a higher temperature. Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a fuel cell power generation system that can further utilize the remaining anode exhaust gas. The system can also set a first heat exchanger between the pumping device and the anode to use the remaining high-temperature anode exhaust gas and the mixed gas for heat exchange. The temperature of the mixed gas entering the anode can be further increased to improve its reaction efficiency in the fuel cell stack. The remaining anode exhaust gas after heat exchange can be discharged as exhaust gas.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, an exhaust gas treatment component may also be provided in the fuel cell power generation system.

[0045] Specifically, the remaining anode tail gas after heat exchange contains fuel gas for full reaction, so a burner connected to the first heat exchanger can be set in the fuel cell power generation system, and the remaining anode tail gas after heat exchange can be sent to the burner for combustion, and then the tail gas after the fuel gas combustion reaction is discharged.

[0046] The burner provided in this embodiment of the present invention uses high-temperature cathode air to assist combustion, so that the low calorific value anode tail gas can burn stably.

[0047] The combustion reaction inside the burner also requires oxygen, which can come from a separate supply pipeline or from cathode tail gas discharged from the cathode.

[0048] Furthermore, the exhaust gas temperature of the burner is relatively high, and the air entering the cathode also needs to be at a certain temperature to ensure the reaction efficiency in the stack. Therefore, in the optional embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to consider setting a second heat exchanger connected to the burner in the fuel cell power generation system, and the exhaust gas discharged by the burner exchanges heat with the oxygen-containing gas to be transported to the cathode, and then the moderated oxygen-containing gas is supplied to the cathode. Such a structural setting can further improve the working efficiency of the fuel cell power generation system.

[0049] Considering that the exhaust gas temperature directly discharged from the burner is too high, which is not conducive to the subsequent exhaust gas treatment and heat exchange operations, the temperature adjustment process can be performed inside the burner, that is, the exhaust gas temperature discharged from the burner is within a controllable temperature range. Specifically, a temperature-adjusting gas can be introduced into the burner to adjust the temperature of the combustion exhaust gas.

[0050] The temperature range of the exhaust gas discharged from the burner can be set according to actual needs, and the exhaust gas temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of temperature-regulating gas introduced into the burner.

[0051] Optionally, the temperature-adjusting gas may be supplied separately, or a portion of the temperature-adjusting gas may be extracted from the oxygen-containing gas supplied to the cathode and supplied to the burner for adjusting the temperature of the combustion exhaust gas.

[0052] For fuel cell power generation systems, adding water vapor to the gas entering the anode can keep the anode membrane moist to increase ionic conductivity.

[0053] Based on the technical solution provided in any embodiment of the present invention, when the fuel cell power generation system is in the startup condition, there is no water vapor in the fuel gas directly entering the anode and the anode tail gas discharged from the anode. Therefore, this embodiment of the present invention proposes that a separate water vapor circuit can be set up to transport the water vapor to a pumping device, and the pumping device mixes the water vapor, fuel gas and anode tail gas and transports them to the anode of the fuel cell stack.

[0054] For example, a preheat recovery unit can be provided, which can obtain water vapor using high-temperature tail gas. The high-temperature tail gas used to enable the preheat recovery unit to generate water vapor can be anode tail gas, cathode tail gas, or combustion tail gas discharged from a burner.

[0055] When the fuel cell power generation system is in a stable working state, the water vapor in the anode tail gas can meet the demand, and at this time, the preheating recovery unit is stopped to transport the water vapor generated by the high-temperature tail gas to the pumping device. In this embodiment, the anode tail gas can be fully utilized without adding water vapor, and there is no need to discharge waste water.

[0056] The fuel cell power generation system provided in this embodiment of the present invention introduces a pumping device when the fuel cell power generation system is in the startup state, which can not only improve the working efficiency of the fuel cell power generation system, but also effectively prevent carbon accumulation and blockage inside the pipeline and the pumping device based on the negative pressure principle. In addition, the heat of the anode tail gas, cathode tail gas and combustion tail gas can be fully recovered and utilized.

[0057] In the fuel cell power generation system provided by any of the above embodiments of the present invention, a reforming unit can also be provided according to demand to reform and transform the mixed gas mixed by the pumping device before transmitting it to the anode.

[0058] The specific function of the reforming unit provided in this embodiment depends on the specific type of fuel cell power generation system. For example, when the methane component in the fuel gas accounts for a large proportion, part of the methane can be catalytically reformed through the reforming unit to obtain hydrogen and reduce the emission rate of carbon dioxide.

[0059] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the fuel cell power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The fuel cell power generation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail. In this embodiment, an ejector pump is used as a pumping device, and a regulating valve is used as a regulating unit.

[0060] Specifically, the fuel gas enters the anode 5 through the ejector pump 1, the reforming unit 3 and the first heat exchanger 4. A portion of the anode tail gas generated by the anode 5 flows into the ejector pump 1 to generate a mixed gas and is then transported to the anode 5. The other portion flows into the heat exchanger 4 to exchange heat with the mixed gas. The anode tail gas after heat exchange flows into the burner 7 for combustion. The generated tail gas can be discharged directly or flow into the second heat exchanger 8 to exchange heat with the air and then be discharged. The air enters the cathode 6 through the air delivery end 10 and the second heat exchanger 8. The cathode tail gas discharged from the cathode 6 can enter the burner 7 to provide oxygen for the combustion treatment of the anode tail gas.

[0061] A bypass with a regulating valve 2 is provided at the ejector pump 1. Based on the negative pressure principle, the amount of fuel gas flowing into the ejector pump 1 is adjusted by adjusting the opening of the regulating valve 2 to achieve control of the anode tail gas circulation ratio.

[0062] A pipeline through which air can flow may be provided between the air delivery end 10 and the burner 7 , and a regulating valve 11 may be provided on the pipeline. The temperature of the combustion exhaust gas discharged from the burner 7 may be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the regulating valve 11 .

[0063] In the fuel cell power generation system provided in this embodiment, a waste heat recovery unit 9 can also be set between the ejector pump 1 and the second heat exchanger 8. When the fuel cell power generation system is in the initial startup condition, the high-temperature combustion exhaust gas discharged by the burner 7 can enter the waste heat recovery unit 9 after passing through the second heat exchanger 8, generate water vapor by heating, and send the water vapor to the ejector pump 1.

[0064] In the fuel cell power generation system provided in this embodiment of the present invention, fresh fuel gas and high-temperature anode exhaust gas are mixed through an ejector pump, and after reforming or conversion treatment, enter the fuel cell anode after heat exchange with the high-temperature anode exhaust gas; cathode air enters the fuel cell cathode after heat exchange with the combustion exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas coming out of the cathode directly enters the burner to assist combustion, thereby burning the low calorific value anode exhaust gas.

[0065] The operating temperature range of the fuel cell may be 500° C. to 900° C., preferably 600° C. to 800° C.; the operating pressure range of the fuel cell may be 0.05 MPa to 0.25 MPa, preferably 0.1 MPa to 0.2 MPa.

[0066] The ejector pump is provided with a regulating valve bypass for adjusting the circulation amount of high-temperature exhaust gas, and the exhaust gas circulation ratio is controlled within a range of 0.3 to 2.2, preferably within a range of 0.5-2.

[0067] The burner outlet temperature is controlled at about 700°C to 900°C by cold air, and can be cooled to about 100°C-300°C after heat exchange with the cathode inlet air, and then enters the waste heat recovery unit.

[0068] When the fuel cell power generation system is in the startup condition, water vapor generated by the waste heat of the combustion exhaust is added to the ejector pump to prevent carbon deposition and blockage. The amount of water vapor added is 1-2 times the carbon flow rate of the fresh fuel gas.

[0069] Figure 2 1 is a schematic flow chart of a fuel cell power generation method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the fuel cell power generation method shown in the figure is applicable to the fuel cell power generation system provided by any of the above embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the fuel cell power generation method provided in this embodiment includes steps S110 to S130.

[0070] In step S110 , fuel gas is supplied to the anode.

[0071] In step S120, an oxygen-containing gas is supplied to the cathode.

[0072] In step S130, a portion of the anode off-gas is mixed with the fuel gas to obtain a mixed gas, and the mixed gas is supplied to the anode.

[0073] Through the above technical solution, the incompletely burned fuel gas in the anode tail gas and the high temperature can be fully utilized, so this circulation method can effectively reduce the fuel cell tail gas emissions and improve the working efficiency of the fuel cell. In addition, since the anode tail gas contains water vapor, there is no need to provide an additional branch for supplying water vapor. This circulation method can also effectively prevent carbon deposition and blockage.

[0074] Wherein, the circulation ratio of the anode tail gas is 0.3 to 2.2, preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, another part of the anode tail gas may be heat exchanged with the mixed gas, and the mixed gas after heat exchange is supplied to the anode.

[0076] In some optional embodiments, another part of the anode tail gas may be burned with the cathode tail gas to obtain the combustion tail gas.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, the combustion tail gas may be heat exchanged with the oxygen-containing gas, and the oxygen-containing gas after heat exchange is supplied to the cathode.

[0078] When the fuel cell is in the initial startup condition, since the anode exhaust gas temperature is relatively high but does not yet contain water vapor, water vapor can be added to the gas supplied to the anode in the following manner: using the combustion exhaust gas to obtain water vapor; and mixing the water vapor with the anode exhaust gas and the fuel gas to obtain the mixed gas, and supplying the mixed gas to the anode.

[0079] The ratio of the amount of water vapor to the carbon flow rate of the fuel gas is 1 to 2:1.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, the mixed gas can be reformed according to actual needs and fuel gas composition, and the reformed mixed gas is then supplied to the anode.

[0081] In some optional embodiments, the operating temperature of the fuel cell is 500° C. to 900° C., and the operating pressure of the fuel cell is 0.05 MPa to 0.25 MPa.
