Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a hydrogen production and hydrogen liquefaction system, and more particularly to an all-weather wind-solar-coke complementary stable hydrogen production and liquefaction co-production device and its operating method. Background Technology

[0002] my country has abundant coal resources, totaling 5.6 trillion tons, with proven reserves of 1 trillion tons, accounting for 11% of the world's total reserves; its annual coke production exceeds 400 million tons, and its annual output is nearly 1000 million tons. 8 m 3 Coke oven gas can be developed and utilized as a resource. In recent years, wind and solar power generation have developed rapidly, but due to the inability to consume the generated electricity in a timely manner, a lot of electricity has been wasted.

[0003] Hydrogen is the cleanest energy source, and with the development of technology, its applications in fine chemicals, powder metallurgy, and other fields are becoming increasingly widespread. Utilizing water electrolysis technology to produce hydrogen by converting electrical energy into hydrogen energy for storage not only alleviates the aforementioned problems but also has relatively low energy costs.

[0004] However, photovoltaic and wind power generation are intermittent and heavily dependent on the seasonality of the natural environment, exhibiting significant uncertainty. Relying solely on new energy sources like photovoltaics and wind for power generation would necessitate frequent start-ups and shutdowns for hydrogen liquefaction plants that require a stable supply of liquid hydrogen and long cooling times. This would obviously lead to a series of problems such as low energy utilization efficiency and low liquefaction output. For example, patent CN202210046797.3 (A Photovoltaic Hydrogen Production, Storage, and Cold Energy Recovery Coupled Dry Ice Production Device and Method of Use) mentions that intermittent photovoltaic power generation can be used to store liquid hydrogen and optimize the recovery of liquid hydrogen cold energy for liquid nitrogen and dry ice production, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction goals. However, for large-scale liquid hydrogen plants requiring a stable supply of liquid hydrogen, there is currently a lack of systems that couple new energy power generation for hydrogen production with industrial blue hydrogen, and then liquefy, store, and transport the hydrogen.

[0018] The electrolyzer of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system produces hydrogen by electrolyzing water through alkaline hydrolysis, proton exchange membrane hydrolysis, and high-temperature solid oxide hydrolysis.

[0019] A method for operating the aforementioned all-weather wind-solar-coke complementary stable hydrogen production and liquefaction co-production unit includes three operating modes:

[0020] When the wind power and solar power systems are short of electricity, switch to mode one;

[0021] Mode 1: Coke oven gas to hydrogen production coupled with hydrogen liquefaction mode:

[0022] Close the switch, ball valve 3, ball valve 4 and stop valve 2, and open ball valve 1, ball valve 2, ball valve 5 and ball valve 6;

[0023] Coke oven gas is pressurized by a coke oven gas compressor, then cooled by a cooler before entering a gas-liquid separator to separate free water and low-boiling-point substances. The gas exiting the gas-liquid separator enters a desulfurization unit for desulfurization. After desulfurization, the gas is cooled by a cooler and then enters a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) decarbonization unit to remove most of the weakly adsorbed components. After removing the desorbed gas, the gas enters a PSA hydrogen production unit. The flushing gas produced by the PSA hydrogen production unit is recycled in the PSA decarbonization unit. Another portion of the gas from the PSA hydrogen production unit enters a deoxygenation and drying system, and then enters a hydrogen liquefaction module through a ball valve. The hydrogen liquefaction module pressurizes, cools, liquefies, and reheats the gas. The gas then merges with the gas processed by the deoxygenation and drying system and re-enters the hydrogen liquefaction module, thus entering the next hydrogen liquefaction cycle.

[0024] When the wind power and solar power systems are generating electricity close to full capacity, switch to mode two.

[0025] Mode 2: Hydrogen production system coupled with hydrogen liquefaction:

[0026] Close ball valve 1 and ball valve 2; open switch, ball valve 3, ball valve 5, gate valve 2, ball valve 4, and ball valve 6.

[0027] Direct current generated by wind and / or solar power systems enters the inlet of the electrolyzer. Raw water enters the inlet of the electrolyzer to replenish the water consumed in the process of producing hydrogen through water electrolysis. The gas generated at the first outlet of the electrolyzer enters the dehydrogenation and drying system through a shut-off valve to remove small amounts of hydrogen and water from the oxygen. Then it enters the oxygen liquefaction module. The oxygen liquefaction module pressurizes, cools and liquefies, and reheats the gas. The gas then merges with the gas processed by the dehydrogenation and drying system and re-enters the oxygen liquefaction module, thus entering the next oxygen liquefaction cycle.

[0028] The gas generated from the second outlet of the electrolytic cell enters the deoxygenation and drying system through the second shut-off valve to remove the oxygen and moisture contained in the gas. Then, it enters the hydrogen liquefaction module from the outlet of the deoxygenation and drying system. After the hydrogen liquefaction module pressurizes, cools and liquefies the gas, and reheats it, the gas merges with the gas processed by the deoxygenation and drying system and re-enters the hydrogen liquefaction module, and then enters the next hydrogen liquefaction cycle.

[0029] When the wind power and solar power systems are insufficient to generate enough electricity, switch to mode three;

[0030] Mode 3: Coke oven gas and water electrolysis hydrogen production coupled with hydrogen liquefaction mode.

[0031] When this mode is in operation, all valves and switches are in the open state, and the systems in Mode 1 and Mode 2 operate continuously at the same time.

[0032] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0033] 1. This invention provides an innovative technical approach that achieves the goal of producing and liquefying hydrogen by coupling coke oven gas hydrogen production technology, water electrolysis hydrogen production technology, and a low-temperature hydrogen liquefaction system.

[0034] 2. This invention obtains liquid oxygen as a byproduct, making full use of coke oven gas and promptly consuming the electricity generated by wind and solar power generation.

[0035] 3. The present invention arranges ortho- and para-hydrogen conversion catalyst particles in the microchannels of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth heat exchangers, which saves the space occupied by traditional ortho- and para-hydrogen conversion devices and saves resources to a great extent.

[0036] 4. The invention fully utilizes the electricity generated by wind and solar power generation, supplemented by a stable supply of coke oven gas, to achieve the goal of continuous liquid hydrogen co-production around the clock. Attached Figure Description

Then, it exits from outlet K of the second heat exchanger 308 and merges with the low-temperature nitrogen gas exiting from outlet 308c of Dewar jar 308 before entering the first heat exchanger 301. Finally, the nitrogen gas is released into the air from outlet A of the first heat exchanger 301.

[0064] Direct current generated by wind and solar power systems enters electrolyzer 203 for water electrolysis. Raw water enters electrolyzer 203 to replenish the raw water consumed during hydrogen production. Electrolyzer 203 has two parallel outlets. The first outlet, 203b, is the oxygen outlet.
