[0002] According to the "Medium- and Long-Term Plan for the Development of the Hydrogen Energy Industry (2021-2035)," by 2025, a relatively comprehensive institutional and policy environment for the development of the hydrogen energy industry will be established, the industry's innovation capabilities will be significantly enhanced, core technologies and manufacturing processes will be basically mastered, and a relatively complete supply chain and industrial system will be initially established. Renewable energy hydrogen production will reach 100,000-200,000 tons / year, becoming a significant component of new hydrogen energy consumption, and achieving annual carbon dioxide emissions reductions of 1-2 million tons.
[0003] The plan points out that it is necessary to accelerate the improvement of the conversion efficiency of renewable energy to hydrogen and the scale of hydrogen production per unit, and to break through the key core technologies in the hydrogen energy infrastructure. It is also necessary to develop monitoring and testing technologies for key factors affecting hydrogen equipment, and to increase the development of safety technologies for the entire chain of hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and use.
[0004] However, hydrogen production on land faces the following challenges: Electricity resources: Hydrogen production requires large electricity users to occupy the source of the power grid; safety concerns require a relatively large area of land; and hydrogen storage pressure vessels need to be safe and reliable, requiring a certain amount of space.
[0005] Natural disasters such as floods, mudslides, fires, and rapidly changing climates occur frequently; the movement of people in and out is unavoidable.
[0006] According to the latest data from the "2021 China Marine Economic Statistical Bulletin", my country's current momentum in marine clean energy development is strong. In 2021, the country's offshore wind power generation capacity added 16.9 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 4.5 times, and the cumulative capacity jumped to the first place in the world.
[0007] my country has led the world in new offshore wind power capacity for many consecutive years. According to the International Energy Agency, by 2040, my country's installed offshore wind power capacity will be comparable to that of the entire European Union, further enhancing its ability to reduce emissions.
[0008] The future of the 21st century lies in the ocean. The future development of my country's offshore wind turbines will reduce reliance on fossil fuels, bringing China one step closer to achieving its dual carbon goals. This is why the concept of an offshore wind power and electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island is proposed.

[0030] The present invention also provides a control method for an offshore wind power and electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island, comprising the following steps:
[0031] Furthermore, in step (1), in order to ensure that the offshore wind power electrochemical hydrogen storage island optimizes hydrogen production and simultaneously reduces the buoyancy balance of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, an optimization control rule is formulated based on the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, including:
[0032] 1) When the wind power is generating surplus electricity for hydrogen production, the water pump is draining water and storing energy:
[0033] a. When the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson are equal, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is given priority in draining water and storing energy.
[0034] b. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is greater than or equal to the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, the underwater energy storage power generation caisson with the higher water level is controlled to drain and store energy.
[0035] c. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is less than the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, since the water pump flow is constant, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson can be controlled to drain and store energy in a time-sharing manner to ensure that the water level in the hydrogen or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively balanced.
[0036] 2) When wind power generation and hydrogen production are in short supply, during the process of water turbine water intake and power generation:
[0037] a. When the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson are equal, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson turbine is preferentially controlled to enter water and generate electricity.
[0038] b. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is less than the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, since the control turbine head pressure and power generation power are known, the flow rate entering the underwater energy storage power generation caisson is also known. Therefore, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson turbine can be controlled to generate electricity in a time-sharing manner to ensure that the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively balanced.
[0039] c. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is greater than or equal to the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, the underwater energy storage power generation caisson with low water level is controlled to generate turbine power.
[0040] In step (2), when the wind power generation meets the power requirement for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, the wind power generation is controlled to supply power to the electrolyzer through the power distribution equipment to produce hydrogen, and the generated hydrogen and oxygen enter the hydrogen compartment in the semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy and the oxygen compartment in the semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy respectively;
[0041] Step (3) When the wind power generation is greater than the power of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, the wind power generation is controlled to supply power to the electrolyzer through the power distribution equipment to produce hydrogen, and the generated hydrogen and oxygen enter the hydrogen compartment in the semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy and the oxygen compartment in the semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy respectively; at the same time, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is started to drain and store energy, and the corresponding hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine or oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine water pump is controlled to discharge the water inside the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson. At this moment, the internal pressure of the corresponding hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively reduced, and the gas stored in the corresponding hydrogen compartment or oxygen compartment is sucked into the hydrogen or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson through the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline or the oxygen inlet and outlet pipeline and the corresponding hydrogen or oxygen check valve;
[0042] Step (4) When the wind power generation is less than the power of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson are started to drain and store energy. At this time, the turbines of the hydrogen caisson and the oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine are controlled to use the seawater head pressure to drive power generation, and discharge the seawater into the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson. At this time, the turbine power generation and the wind power generation are controlled by the distribution equipment to supplement the wind power generation to supply power to the electrolyzer for hydrogen production; as the water level in the hydrogen or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson rises, the hydrogen or oxygen in the hydrogen or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is compressed; when the pressure in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is greater than the pressure in the corresponding hydrogen or oxygen compressed gas cabin, the hydrogen or oxygen compressed gas passes through the corresponding hydrogen inlet and outlet pipes, and is compressed into the corresponding hydrogen compressed gas cabin or oxygen compressed gas cabin through the hydrogen compression check valve or the oxygen compression check valve for storage.
[0043] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0044] (1) Avoid occupying a large amount of land, power grid, and human resources;
[0045] (2) The functions of offshore wind power plants, hydrogen production plants and underwater energy storage power generation caissons are integrated and components are reused:
[0046] 1) Seawater and seawater depth pressure provide the water source and pressure for reverse osmosis membrane desalination;
[0047] 2) The fan semi-submersible buoy provides storage space for hydrogen, oxygen and compressed gas;
[0048] 3) The underwater energy storage and power generation caisson stores energy and generates electricity to provide a stable power source for hydrogen production through water electrolysis, while compressing hydrogen and oxygen, similar to the principle of an air pump;
[0049] 4) The weight of the hydrogen production device and electrical equipment serves as the system counterweight, lowering the system's center of gravity and improving the stability of the offshore wind power electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island;

[0060] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, an offshore wind power and electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island of the present invention includes a wind turbine tower 1, multiple semi-submersible gas storage buoys, semi-submersible material storage buoys, a distribution cabin 5, a water electrolysis hydrogen production cabin 6, and an underwater energy storage power generation caisson.
[0061] Among them, the wind turbine tower 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the distribution cabin 5, and the bottom of the distribution cabin 5 is installed on the top of the water electrolysis hydrogen production cabin 6. The distribution cabin 5 and the water electrolysis hydrogen production cabin 6 are both original cylindrical rigid sealed structures, independent of each other, and immersed in seawater; multiple semi-submersible gas storage buoys and semi-submersible material storage buoys are evenly distributed and installed on the upper end of the distribution cabin 5 through bridge arms, semi-submerged in seawater, providing buoyancy for the offshore wind power electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island; the underwater energy storage power generation caisson is anchored to the seabed, connected to multiple semi-submersible gas storage buoys through pipelines, and connected to the distribution cabin 5 through cables.
[0062] The wind turbine tower 1 is a tower for placing a wind turbine platform, floats on the water surface, and is fixedly installed on the distribution cabin 5.
[0063] The multiple semi-submersible gas storage buoys include a semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy 2 and a semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy 4;
[0064] The semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy 2 and the semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy 4 are both cylindrical rigid structures, connected to the power distribution cabin 5 via the first bridge arm 13, and semi-submerged in the seawater.
[0065] The semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy 2 consists of a hydrogen compartment 14 and a compressed hydrogen compartment 15. The two compartments are divided into an upper and lower structure. Considering the pressure-bearing problem of the compressed hydrogen compartment 15, the compressed hydrogen compartment 15 is placed below the hydrogen compartment 14, fully utilizing the pressure of the compressed hydrogen compartment 15 when it is submerged in seawater, and reducing the pressure-bearing structure of the compressed hydrogen compartment 15.

The hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 generate water turbines and the wind turbine provides power for hydrogen production. At the same time, by controlling the water pumps of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12, the water pumped into the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 is stored to ensure the stability of electricity used for hydrogen production by water electrolysis.

The other end of the hydrogen transmission pipeline 16 is connected to the hydrogen cabin 14 through the distribution cabin 5 and the first bridge arm 13 and to the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipelines 21 through the hydrogen check valve 18, so that the hydrogen of the water electrolysis hydrogen production tanks 7 is stored in the hydrogen cabin 14.
[0074] Similarly, the oxygen production pipelines 26 of multiple water electrolysis hydrogen production tanks are connected to each other and connected to one end of the oxygen supply pipeline 25. The other end of the oxygen supply pipeline 25 is connected to the oxygen cabin 22 through the distribution cabin 5 and the second bridge arm 24 and to the oxygen inlet and outlet pipeline 30 through the oxygen check valve 27, so that the oxygen produced by the water electrolysis hydrogen production tank 7 is stored in the oxygen cabin 22.
[0075] The reverse osmosis desalination device 8 is embedded in the electrolysis hydrogen production chamber 34 at the corresponding position with the electrolysis hydrogen production tank 7. Multiple reverse osmosis desalination devices are embedded in the electrolysis hydrogen production chamber 34 at the corresponding position with multiple electrolysis hydrogen production tanks 7. One end of each reverse osmosis desalination device 8 passes through the electrolysis hydrogen production chamber 34 and is connected to the freshwater input 35 of one electrolysis hydrogen production tank 7. The other end is connected to the sea. Based on the operating principle of reverse osmosis desalination, fresh water is provided to each electrolysis hydrogen production tank 7 by utilizing the pressure difference between the depth of the seawater and the freshwater input 35 of the electrolysis hydrogen production tank 7.
[0076] Since the water electrolysis hydrogen production cabin 6 is placed under the wind turbine tower 1 and the distribution cabin 5, the weight of the water electrolysis hydrogen production cabin 6 shifts the center of gravity of the offshore wind power and electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island downward, providing stability against wind and waves for the offshore wind power and electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island.
[0077] The underwater energy storage power generation caisson includes a hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and an oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12. The hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 can be rectangular or tank-shaped structures and are connected to each other. Based on Archimedes' principle, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 are controlled in time-sharing manner to intake or drain water at different times, thereby always ensuring that there is a certain amount of water weight inside the underwater energy storage power generation caisson and reducing the anchoring tension.
[0078] The hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 is equipped with a hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 36, hydrogen inlet and outlet pipelines 21, and hydrogen caisson water inlet and outlet pipelines 37; and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 is equipped with an oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 11, oxygen inlet and outlet pipelines 30, and oxygen caisson water inlet and outlet pipelines 38.
[0079] Among them, the hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 36 is embedded and installed near the bottom of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10. One end of the hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 36 is connected to the interior of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10, and the other end of the hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 36 is connected to one end of the hydrogen caisson water supply and drainage pipe 37. The other end of the hydrogen caisson water supply and drainage pipe 37 is placed below the low tide water level to avoid disturbing the seabed ecology.
[0080] One end of the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline 21 is installed through the top of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 and is in gas communication with the internal gas of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10. The other end of the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline 21 is connected to the compressed hydrogen chamber 15 and the hydrogen check valve 18 respectively through the compressed hydrogen check valve 20 and the hydrogen transmission pipeline 16;
[0081] The oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 11 is embedded and installed near the bottom of the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12. One end of the oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 11 is connected to the interior of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12, and the other end of the oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine 11 is connected to one end of the oxygen caisson water inlet and outlet pipe 38. The other end of the oxygen caisson water inlet and outlet pipe 38 is placed below the low tide water level to avoid disturbing the seabed ecology.
[0082] One end of the oxygen inlet and outlet pipeline 30 is installed through the top of the oxygen underwater energy storage and power generation caisson 12 and is connected to the gas inside the oxygen underwater energy storage and power generation caisson 12. The other end of the oxygen inlet and outlet pipeline 30 is connected to the compressed oxygen buoy 23 and the oxygen check valve 27 through the compressed oxygen check valve 29 and the oxygen supply pipeline 25 respectively.
[0083] When the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 stores energy, the water pump of the hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit 36 is started to discharge the water inside the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10. At the same time, the internal pressure of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 is relatively reduced. At this time, the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline 21 sucks the gas stored in the hydrogen compartment 14 into the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 through the hydrogen check valve 18.
[0084] When the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 generates electricity, the turbine of the hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit 36 is started to drive the turbine to generate electricity through the seawater head pressure, and the seawater is discharged into the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10. At the same time, the hydrogen in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 is compressed. As the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 increases, the hydrogen continues to be compressed. When the pressure in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 10 is greater than the pressure in the hydrogen compressed gas chamber 15, the hydrogen compressed gas is compressed into the hydrogen compressed gas chamber 15 through the hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline 21 and the compressed hydrogen check valve 20 for storage.
[0085] Similarly, when the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 stores energy, the water pump of the oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit 11 is started to discharge the water inside the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12. At the same time, the internal pressure of the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 is relatively reduced. At this time, the oxygen inlet and outlet pipes 30 suck the gas stored in the oxygen chamber 22 into the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 through the oxygen check valve 27.
[0086] When the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 generates electricity, the turbine of the oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit 11 is started to drive the turbine to generate electricity through the seawater head pressure, and the seawater is discharged into the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12. At the same time, the oxygen in the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 is compressed. As the water level in the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 increases, the oxygen continues to be compressed. When the pressure in the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson 12 is greater than the pressure in the oxygen compressed gas chamber 23, the oxygen compressed gas is compressed into the hydrogen compressed gas chamber 23 through the compressed oxygen check valve 29 through the oxygen inlet and outlet pipes 30 and stored.
[0087] The control of gas during the energy storage and power generation process of the underwater energy storage caisson in the offshore wind power electrochemical hydrogen production and storage island is similar to the principle of an air pump.
[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0089] (1) To ensure the optimization of hydrogen production in the offshore wind power electrochemical hydrogen storage island and reduce the buoyancy balance of the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, an optimization control rule is formulated based on the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, including:
[0090] 1) When the wind power is generating surplus electricity for hydrogen production, the water pump is draining water and storing energy:
[0091] a. When the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson are equal, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is given priority in draining water and storing energy.
[0092] b. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is greater than or equal to the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, the underwater energy storage power generation caisson with the higher water level is controlled to drain and store energy.
[0093] c. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is less than the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, since the water pump flow is constant, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson can be controlled to drain and store energy in a time-sharing manner to ensure that the water level in the hydrogen or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively balanced.
[0094] 2) When wind power generation and hydrogen production are in short supply, during the process of water turbine water intake and power generation:
[0095] a. When the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson are equal, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson turbine is preferentially controlled to enter water and generate electricity.
[0096] b. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is less than the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, since the control turbine head pressure and power generation power are known, the flow rate entering the underwater energy storage power generation caisson is also known. Therefore, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson turbine can be controlled to generate electricity in a time-sharing manner to ensure that the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively balanced.
[0097] c. When the sum of the water levels in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson and the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is greater than or equal to the full tank water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson, the underwater energy storage power generation caisson with low water level is controlled to generate turbine power.
[0098] (2) When the wind power generation meets the power requirement for hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, the wind power generation is controlled to supply power to the electrolyzer through the power distribution equipment to produce hydrogen, and the generated hydrogen and oxygen enter the hydrogen compartment in the semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy and the oxygen compartment in the semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy respectively;
[0099] (3) When the wind power generation is greater than the power of hydrogen production by electrolysis of water, the wind power generation is controlled to supply power to the electrolyzer through the power distribution equipment to produce hydrogen, and the generated hydrogen and oxygen enter the hydrogen compartment in the semi-submersible hydrogen storage buoy and the oxygen compartment in the semi-submersible oxygen storage buoy respectively. At the same time, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is started to drain and store energy, and the corresponding hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine or oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated machine water pump is controlled to discharge the water inside the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson. At this time, the internal pressure of the corresponding hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is relatively reduced, and the gas stored in the corresponding hydrogen compartment or oxygen compartment is sucked into the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson through the corresponding hydrogen inlet and outlet pipeline or oxygen inlet and outlet pipeline and the corresponding hydrogen or oxygen check valve.
[0100] (4) When the wind power generation is less than the power of hydrogen production by electrolysis, the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is started to drain and store energy. At this time, the corresponding hydrogen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit or oxygen caisson water pump / turbine integrated unit is controlled to drive the turbine to generate electricity using the seawater head pressure, and discharge the seawater into the corresponding hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson. At this time, the turbine power generation and wind power generation are controlled by the distribution equipment to supplement the wind power generation to supply power to the electrolyzer for hydrogen production. As the water level in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson rises, the hydrogen or oxygen in the hydrogen underwater energy storage power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage power generation caisson is compressed. When the pressure inside the hydrogen underwater energy storage and power generation caisson or the oxygen underwater energy storage and power generation caisson is greater than the pressure inside the corresponding hydrogen compressed gas cabin and the oxygen compressed gas cabin, the corresponding hydrogen compressed gas or oxygen compressed gas passes through the hydrogen inlet and exhaust or oxygen inlet and exhaust pipelines, and is compressed into the corresponding hydrogen compressed gas cabin or oxygen compressed gas cabin through the corresponding hydrogen compression check valve or oxygen compression check valve for storage.
