Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hydrogen, as a clean and efficient energy source, has recently gained increasing attention in many countries as a potential alternative to natural gas. Green hydrogen is typically produced from surplus renewable energy power generation via electricity-to-gas technology, and is therefore considered one of the important energy forms for achieving zero-carbon energy systems. Hydrogen can be transported in several ways, one of which is through pipeline transportation via injection into existing natural gas pipelines. This method not only utilizes existing infrastructure, thus avoiding further investment, but also promotes the decarbonization of existing natural gas systems.

[0003] However, adding hydrogen to existing natural gas transmission systems also brings certain safety hazards and technical problems: 1. Due to hydrogen's lower ignition point and higher combustion rate compared to other gases, it is more likely to cause fire hazards; 2. Traditional natural gas energy equipment is usually designed and commissioned according to the original natural gas composition. If the natural gas composition is changed by adding hydrogen, the energy equipment may operate under non-ideal conditions, resulting in non-ideal combustion; 3. In the natural gas network, pipelines, valves, compressors, and other equipment are also usually designed for the original natural gas composition. Adding hydrogen will affect the natural gas composition and thus affect the lifespan of surface materials such as pipelines; 4.

Attached Figure Description

[0047] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a combined power-natural gas system structure that takes hydrogen injection into account. Detailed Implementation

[0048] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the power flow calculation method for a power-natural gas system considering hydrogen injection of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0050] Step 1: Construct a natural gas system model considering hydrogen injection. The system model includes a natural gas load model, a natural gas source model, a steady-state power flow model within the natural gas pipeline, a natural gas node energy conservation model, and a natural gas mixing model.

[0054] Step 5: Solve the steady-state power-natural gas joint optimization model considering hydrogen injection to obtain the optimal control strategy and operating status of the power-natural gas system.

[0055] There is no logical order between steps one, two, and three.

[0056] The method of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:

[0057] (1) Constructing a natural gas system model considering hydrogen injection (1.1) Establishing a natural gas load model

[0058] Natural gas load is essentially the energy load generated by burning natural gas to provide heat to energy-consuming devices, such as gas water heaters. Therefore, natural gas load is fundamentally a combustion energy load. In traditional natural gas systems, natural gas load is usually described by the flow rate under standard conditions. This description is simple and effective when the natural gas composition is uniformly distributed throughout the system. However, in natural gas systems considering hydrogen injection, due to distributed hydrogen injection, the natural gas composition is inconsistent at different locations within the system. That is, burning the same volume, mass, or molar amount of natural gas may not provide the same amount of heat. Therefore, the natural gas load originally described by flow rate needs to be transformed as follows:

[0059]

[0060] in, Let represent the natural gas load at natural gas node i, described by energy. This represents the natural gas load at natural gas node i, originally described by flow rate. GCV gas This represents the total calorific value of natural gas.

[0061] (1.2) Establishing a natural gas source model

[0062] Natural gas sources, including natural gas wells and storage facilities, are typically described by flow rates in conventional natural gas systems. Similar to natural gas load, this is converted into energy forms:

[0063]

[0064] in, The natural gas supply described by energy at natural gas node i. This refers to the natural gas supply at node i in the original natural gas system, described by flow rate. GCV i s The total calorific value of the natural gas supplied to the natural gas source of node i.

[0065] (1.3) Establish a steady-state power flow model within the natural gas pipeline

[0066] In high-pressure natural gas transmission systems, we use the Weymouth equation to describe the steady-state power flow model within the pipeline:

[0067]

[0068] Where, q i,j R represents the standard natural gas flow rate of the natural gas pipeline between natural gas nodes i and j. air T is the gas constant for air. STP and p STP Standard temperature and air pressure. i Let D be the gas pressure at natural gas node i. i,j F i,j L i,j These represent the pipe's diameter, Fanning coefficient, and length, respectively. S i,j Z represents the relative density of the gas inside the pipeline. T represents the temperature of the natural gas. i,j This is the compressibility coefficient of natural gas.

[0069] (1.4) Establishing a natural gas node energy conservation and natural gas mixing model

[0070] Unlike traditional natural gas systems that rely on flow rate-based node conservation, in the case of hydrogen injection, node conservation is modeled in terms of energy, meaning the energy flowing into a natural gas node equals the energy flowing out of it.

[0071]

[0072] in, This is the set of power nodes that link natural gas node i. For power node j e The energy corresponding to the natural gas consumed per unit time by the power-to-gas conversion facility. For power node j e A collection of gas turbine units. For power node j e The jth gfu The energy corresponding to the natural gas consumed per unit time by a gas turbine unit. The natural gas flow direction is the direction of natural gas flow into natural gas node i and natural gas node j. in A set of. The natural gas flow direction is the direction of natural gas outflow from natural gas node i at natural gas node j. out A set of. and From natural gas node j in Flow to i and flow from i to j out The energy of the natural gas flow. and From natural gas node j in Flow to i and flow from i to j out The flow rate of the natural gas current. GCV i Let be the total calorific value of natural gas node i.

[0073] It is worth noting that the natural gas composition from upstream pipelines may differ. Therefore, different pipelines mix at their junction, such as natural gas node i, and the mixed gas is then transported downstream again through the pipeline. Therefore, the flow direction of the pipelines needs to be assumed before performing optimized flow calculations. Assuming the natural gas flow direction is from natural gas node i to j, the relative density and total calorific value of the mixed gas can be calculated as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, M gas M hy and M air These are the relative molecular masses of natural gas, hydrogen, and air, respectively. and Let represent the proportions of hydrogen and natural gas at natural gas node i, respectively, measured by the amount of substance, and calculated using the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] in, For power node je The output of the power-to-gas conversion facility is measured by the flow rate under standard conditions.

[0078] (2) Establishing a coupling element model (2.1) Establishing an electric-to-gas conversion facility model

[0079] The power-to-gas conversion facility consumes electricity to produce hydrogen. The conversion relationship is as follows:

[0080]

[0081] in, and These represent the power consumption and energy conversion efficiency of the electro-gas conversion facility at node i, respectively.

[0082] (2.2) Establishing a gas turbine unit model

[0083] Gas turbine units consume natural gas to generate electricity. The conversion relationship is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] in, and These represent the power generation, natural gas consumption rate, and energy conversion efficiency of gas turbine unit j at node i, respectively.

[0086] (3) Establishing a power system model

[0087] The power system model is established based on the DC model:

[0088]

[0089] g i,j =(θ i -θ j ) / X i,j (15)

[0090] in, Let i be the set of non-gas turbine units at node i. Let be the power generation capacity of the non-gas turbine unit j at node i. Let g be the electrical load of node i. i,j Let θ represent the power flow from node i to node j. i Let X be the phase angle of node i. i,j Let be the reactance of power lines i and j.

[0091] (4) Establish a steady-state power and natural gas joint optimization power flow model considering hydrogen injection.

[0092] The objective of the steady-state power and natural gas joint optimization power flow model considering hydrogen injection is to minimize the operating cost C. TThe optimization variables include: (a) the gas production rate of the natural gas source. (b) Nodal pressure p i (c) Power generation of non-gas turbine units (d) Voltage phase angle θ i (e) Power generation of the gas turbine unit (f) Hydrogen production rate of the power-to-gas facility (g) The ratio of hydrogen to natural gas and The mathematical model is as follows:

[0093]

[0094] Here, EB and GB represent the sets of power nodes and natural gas nodes, respectively. i,j (·) represents the cost function of non-gas turbine unit j at node i. ρ i denoted as , where is the natural gas supply price for the natural gas source at natural gas node i. μ represents the subsidy value for producing green hydrogen.

[0095] It conforms to constraints (1)-(15) and the following constraints:

[0096] 4.1) Wobbe Index. The composition of the gas mixture in a natural gas system affects its combustion characteristics, thereby impacting the performance and lifespan of energy-consuming equipment, and even operational safety. The Wobbe index is commonly used to measure the substitutability between different gases. Therefore, this index needs to be constrained within a certain range at each natural gas node:

[0097]

[0098] Where, ξ i This range is typically limited to 5%-10%.

[0099] 4.2) Constraints on natural gas composition and total calorific value:

[0100]

[0101] β min ≤GCV i ≤β max (20)

[0102] Where, α i This represents the upper limit of the hydrogen content. β max and β min This serves as the upper and lower limit constraint for the total calorific value.

[0103] 4.3) Upper and lower bound constraints for other optimization variables:

[0104]

[0105] in, and These are the upper and lower limits of the natural gas production rate of the natural gas source. This is the upper limit for the natural gas consumption rate of the power-to-gas conversion facility. Let be the transmission capacity of natural gas pipelines i and j. Let be the transmission capacity of power lines i and j. and These are the upper and lower limits of power generation for gas turbine units and non-gas turbine units, respectively.

[0106] The above model is a nonlinear programming problem, which can be solved by the IPOPT solver.

[0107] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described and explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0108] The reliability of a combined power-gas system consisting of the IEEE Power System Reliability Test System and the Belgian 20-node natural gas transmission system is obtained in a test case.

[0109] First, the parameters of the combined power and natural gas system are initialized. A schematic diagram of the combined power and natural gas system is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the raw data for the power system and natural gas transmission system included in it comes from the publicly available literature "Grigg C, Wong P, Albrecht P, et al.

The gas transmission problem solved by an extension of the simplex algorithm[J]. Management Science, 2000, 46(11):1454-1465." Based on this, the present invention makes the following modifications:

[0110] In such Figure 1At the locations shown, gas turbine units and electric-to-gas (EPG) converters were added. Three EPG converters with a gas production capacity of 0.5 MW under normal operating conditions were installed at natural gas nodes 7, 10, and 16. The non-gas turbine units of 12, 20, and 100 MW at power nodes (EB) 15, 13, 14, and 2 in the original power system were replaced with gas turbine units of the same capacity. Their thermal efficiency coefficients were set according to Table 1 of the published document "Unsihuay C, Lima JWM, De Souza AC Z. Modeling the integrated natural gas and electricity optimal power flow [C] / / PowerEngineering Society General Meeting, 2007. IEEE. IEEE, 2007: 1-7." The unit value of natural gas from each gas source in the natural gas system is set according to Table 2 of the publicly available literature "Unsihuay C, Lima JWM, DeSouza AC Z. Modeling the integrated natural gas and electricity optimal powerflow[C] / / Power Engineering Society General Meeting, 2007.IEEE.IEEE, 2007:1-7." The total power load of the power system is set to its peak value, i.e., a constant 2850MW.
