[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments only represent some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0057] In the present application, the terms “comprise”, “contain” or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement “comprising a…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0058] At present, due to the volatility of renewable energy power generation, the hydrogen production of water electrolysis will also fluctuate, resulting in that the existing synthetic ammonia system cannot normally complete ammonia synthesis operation due to unbalanced raw material ratio, and can only be shut down for treatment.

[0059] Based on this, referring to Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a synthetic ammonia system is provided for an embodiment of the present application. The synthetic ammonia system comprises a hydrogen supply device 101, a nitrogen supply device 103, and a controller 103.

[0060] The hydrogen supply device 101 is configured to prepare hydrogen gas according to the electric energy provided by a renewable energy power generation device, and supply the hydrogen gas to a synthetic ammonia reaction device. In this embodiment, the renewable energy power generation device can include a photovoltaic power generation device, a wind power generation device, a tidal power generation device, and the like.

[0061] Optionally, the hydrogen supply device can perform water electrolysis hydrogen preparation operation by using the electric energy provided by the renewable energy power generation device to prepare hydrogen gas, and then supply the prepared hydrogen gas to the synthetic ammonia reaction device. Specifically, the hydrogen gas can be supplied to a raw material storage module of the synthetic ammonia reaction device. In the case where the electric energy provided by the renewable energy power generation device fluctuates, the rate of hydrogen gas prepared by the hydrogen supply device is also prone to fluctuate.

[0062] The nitrogen supply device 102 is configured to supply nitrogen gas to the synthetic ammonia reaction device. In this embodiment, the nitrogen supply device can supply nitrogen gas to the raw material storage module of the synthetic ammonia reaction device.

[0063] Optionally, the synthetic ammonia reaction device can perform ammonia synthesis operation according to the hydrogen gas supplied by the hydrogen supply device and the nitrogen gas supplied by the nitrogen supply device.

[0064] The controller 103 is configured to control the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device 101 and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device 102 to be a preset ratio.

[0065] Optionally, the preset ratio can be 3:1.

[0066] Optionally, the controller can be various types of upper computer devices, for example, can be a programmable logic controller (PLC).

[0067] In the embodiment, the controller can determine the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device, and if the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device are not in the preset ratio, at least one of the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate can be adjusted so that the ratio between the adjusted hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is in the preset ratio. The hydrogen supply rate can be the rate at which the hydrogen supply device supplies hydrogen to the synthetic ammonia reaction device; the nitrogen supply rate can be the rate at which the nitrogen supply device supplies nitrogen to the synthetic ammonia reaction device.

[0068] Optionally, the controller can determine the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device according to the first flow meter and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device according to the second flow meter; the first flow meter can be arranged on the hydrogen transmission channel between the hydrogen supply device and the synthetic ammonia reaction device, and the second flow meter can be arranged on the nitrogen transmission channel between the nitrogen supply device and the synthetic ammonia reaction device.

[0069] In the embodiment, by controlling the controller 103 to control the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device 101 and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device 102 to be in the preset ratio, it can be avoided that when the renewable energy power generation fluctuates to cause the hydrogen production to fluctuate, the proportion of hydrogen and ammonia is unbalanced to cause the synthetic ammonia system to be unable to work normally. By applying the system provided by the application, ammonia synthesis can still be normally carried out under the condition that the renewable energy power generation fluctuates, and loss caused by shutdown can be avoided.

[0070] In some embodiments, the controller 103 adjusts the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device 102 when the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply device 101 and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device 102 is not in the preset ratio, so that the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate and the adjusted nitrogen supply rate is in the preset ratio.

[0071] Optionally, when the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is greater than the preset ratio, the nitrogen supply rate can be increased; and when the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is less than the preset ratio, the nitrogen supply rate can be reduced, so that the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is in the preset ratio.

[0072] Referring to Figure 2 A structure schematic diagram of a hydrogen supply device provided by the embodiment of the application is provided, the hydrogen supply device 101 comprises:

[0073] a hydrogen preparation module 201, a hydrogen storage module 202, and a hydrogen supply module 203;

[0075] The hydrogen storage module 202 is configured to store the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production module 201.

[0076] The hydrogen supply module 203 is configured to supply the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage module 202 to the ammonia synthesis reaction device.

[0077] In this embodiment, by providing the hydrogen storage module to store the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production module, and by providing the hydrogen supply module to supply the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage module to the ammonia synthesis reaction device, the hydrogen supply rate can be prevented from being directly affected by the fluctuation of the electricity generated by the renewable energy power generation device.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the controller 103 detects that the pressure of the gas in the hydrogen storage module 202 is not within the preset first pressure range, the controller 103 adjusts the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply module 203 and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device 102 so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module 202 is within the first pressure range, and the ratio between the adjusted hydrogen supply rate and the adjusted nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the pressure of the gas in the hydrogen storage module 202 is not within the preset first pressure range, it indicates that the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply module does not match the hydrogen production rate of the hydrogen production module. In this case, the hydrogen supply rate needs to be adjusted. In order to balance the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate, the hydrogen supply rate can be adjusted first, and then the nitrogen supply rate can be adjusted based on the adjusted hydrogen supply rate. Alternatively, the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate can be adjusted simultaneously so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module 202 is within the first pressure range, and the ratio between the adjusted hydrogen supply rate and the adjusted nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the controller detects that the pressure of the gas in the hydrogen storage module is greater than the upper limit of the first pressure range, the controller increases the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the pressure range, and the ratio between the increased hydrogen supply rate and the increased nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio.

[0081] In a case where it is detected that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is less than the lower limit value of the first pressure range, the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate are reduced so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the pressure range, and the ratio between the reduced hydrogen supply rate and the reduced nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio.

[0082] In some embodiments, the controller 103 adjusts the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply module so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the first pressure range in a case where it is detected that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is not within the preset first pressure range; adjusts the nitrogen supply rate according to the adjusted hydrogen supply rate so that the adjusted hydrogen supply rate and the adjusted nitrogen supply rate are within the preset ratio in a case where the adjusted hydrogen supply rate and the current nitrogen supply rate are not within the preset ratio.

[0083] In the present embodiment, the controller 103 adjusts the hydrogen supply rate of the hydrogen supply module so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the first pressure range.

[0084] Optionally, the controller 103 determines the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate according to the first flow meter and the second flow meter respectively, and adjusts the nitrogen supply rate so that the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate are within the preset ratio in a case where the ratio between the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is not within the preset ratio.

[0085] In some embodiments, the controller 103 is configured to:

[0086] In a case where it is detected that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is greater than the upper limit value of the first pressure range, the hydrogen supply rate is increased so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the pressure range; and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device is increased so that the ratio between the increased hydrogen supply rate and the increased nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio in a case where the ratio between the increased hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is not within the preset ratio.

[0087] In a case where it is detected that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is less than the lower limit value of the first pressure range, the hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate are reduced so that the pressure of the hydrogen storage module is within the pressure range; and the nitrogen supply rate of the nitrogen supply device is reduced so that the ratio between the reduced hydrogen supply rate and the reduced nitrogen supply rate is within the preset ratio in a case where the ratio between the reduced hydrogen supply rate and the nitrogen supply rate is not within the preset ratio.

[0088] In some embodiments, the control can detect the pressure of the hydrogen storage module according to a first pressure transmitter, which can be arranged in the hydrogen storage module, and the hydrogen storage module can include a hydrogen storage tank.

[0089] In some embodiments, the hydrogen supply module includes a hydrogen compressor and a first valve assembly; the input end of the hydrogen compressor is connected with the output end of the hydrogen storage module, and the output end of the hydrogen compressor is connected with the synthetic ammonia reaction device through the first valve assembly.

[0090] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the hydrogen supply module further includes a second valve assembly; the output end of the hydrogen compressor is connected with the input end of the hydrogen compressor through the second valve assembly.

[0091] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The second valve assembly is arranged on the first return pipeline, and the output end of the hydrogen compressor is connected with the input end of the hydrogen compressor through the second valve assembly. By arranging the first return pipeline, the amount of hydrogen in the pipeline can be prevented from being too low to cause the hydrogen compressor to fail to operate normally.

[0092] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the controller 103 is configured to control the opening degree of at least one of the first valve assembly and the second valve assembly, so as to adjust the hydrogen supply rate.

[0093] In the embodiment, the hydrogen supply rate can be increased by increasing the opening degree of the first valve assembly and / or reducing the opening degree of the second valve assembly; and the hydrogen supply rate can be reduced by reducing the opening degree of the first valve assembly and / or increasing the opening degree of the second valve assembly.

[0094] Referring to Figure 4 In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the nitrogen supply device 102 includes:

[0095] a nitrogen delivery module 401, a nitrogen storage module 402, and a nitrogen supply module 403;

[0096] The nitrogen delivery module 401 is configured to deliver nitrogen to the nitrogen storage module 402.

[0097] The nitrogen supply module 403 is configured to supply the nitrogen stored in the nitrogen storage module 402 to the synthetic ammonia reaction device.

[0098] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the controller 103 is configured to:

[0099] In the case that the gas pressure in the nitrogen storage module 401 is not in the preset second pressure range, the nitrogen delivery amount of the nitrogen delivery module 401 is adjusted so that the gas pressure in the nitrogen storage module is in the second pressure range.

[0100] In some embodiments, the controller can detect the pressure of the nitrogen storage module according to a second pressure transmitter, which can be arranged in the nitrogen storage module, and the nitrogen storage module can include a nitrogen storage tank.

[0101] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the nitrogen supply module comprises:

[0102] a nitrogen compressor and a third valve assembly;

[0103] The input end of the nitrogen compressor is connected with the output end of the nitrogen storage module, and the output end of the nitrogen compressor is connected with the synthetic ammonia reaction device through the third valve assembly.

[0104] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the nitrogen supply module further comprises:

[0105] a fourth valve assembly;

[0106] The output end of the nitrogen compressor is connected with the input end of the nitrogen compressor through the fourth valve assembly.

[0107] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the fourth valve assembly is arranged on the second return pipeline, and the output end of the nitrogen compressor is connected with the input end of the nitrogen compressor through the fourth valve assembly. By arranging the second return pipeline, it can be avoided that the amount of nitrogen in the pipeline is too low to cause the hydrogen compressor to fail to operate normally.

[0108] In an embodiment provided by the present application, based on the above scheme, optionally, the controller is configured to control the opening degree of at least one of the third valve assembly and the fourth valve assembly to adjust the nitrogen supply rate.

[0109] In the present embodiment, the nitrogen supply rate can be increased by increasing the opening degree of the third valve assembly and / or reducing the opening degree of the fourth valve assembly, and the nitrogen supply rate can be reduced by reducing the opening degree of the third valve assembly and / or increasing the opening degree of the fourth valve assembly.

[0110] Optionally, the first valve assembly, the second valve assembly, the third valve assembly and the fourth valve assembly can be thin film regulating valves.

[0111] Referring to Figure 6 Another structure of the synthetic ammonia system is provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the system, a hydrogen storage module is arranged to store the hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water and to stabilize the pressure of the hydrogen. The hydrogen storage module can be a hydrogen storage tank. A reflux pipeline is arranged before and after the hydrogen compressor. A valve assembly is arranged on the main pipeline and the reflux pipeline. The opening degree of the two valve assemblies is controlled to stabilize the pressure in the hydrogen storage tank. The hydrogen flow into the raw material gas tank is monitored according to the hydrogen flow meter FT-01 on the main pipeline.

[0112] In the system, a nitrogen storage module is arranged to store the nitrogen produced by the nitrogen delivery module and to stabilize the pressure of the nitrogen. The nitrogen storage module includes a nitrogen storage tank, and the nitrogen delivery module includes an air separation system. A reflux pipeline is arranged before and after the nitrogen compressor. A valve assembly is arranged on the main pipeline and the reflux pipeline. The opening degree of the two valve assemblies is controlled to control the nitrogen flow into the raw material gas tank. The nitrogen flow is monitored by the nitrogen flow meter FT-02 on the main pipeline, and the reading of the hydrogen flow meter FT-01 is matched to maintain the ratio of the hydrogen and nitrogen into the raw material gas tank at 3:1. The pressure transmitter PT-02 is arranged on the nitrogen storage tank to adjust the air output of the air separation system according to the pressure change of the nitrogen storage tank.

[0113] When the output power of the renewable energy power generation device fluctuates and decreases, the hydrogen flow decreases, causing the pressure of the hydrogen storage tank to decrease and being fed back to the controller through the pressure transmitter PT-01. The controller increases the opening degree of the second valve assembly PCV-01 and decreases the opening degree of the first valve assembly PCV-02 to reduce the hydrogen flow into the raw material gas tank and increase the flow before the hydrogen compressor, thereby maintaining the pressure of the hydrogen storage tank stable. At this time, the hydrogen flow meter FT-01 feeds back the hydrogen flow to the controller, and the controller increases the opening degree of the fourth valve assembly FCV-01 and decreases the opening degree of the third valve assembly FCV-02 to reduce the nitrogen flow into the raw material gas tank and stabilize the ratio of the reading of the nitrogen flow meter FT-02 to the reading of the hydrogen flow meter FT-01 at 1:3.

[0114] Conversely, when the output power of the renewable energy power generation device fluctuates upward, the hydrogen gas flow rate increases, causing the pressure of the hydrogen gas storage tank to rise, and the pressure transmitter PT-01 feeds back to the controller. The controller reduces the opening of the second valve assembly PCV-01 and increases the opening of the first valve assembly PCV-02, so that the hydrogen gas entering the raw gas tank increases and the flow rate before the hydrogen compressor decreases, thereby maintaining the pressure of the hydrogen gas storage tank stable. At this time, the hydrogen gas flow meter FT-01 feeds back the hydrogen gas flow rate to the controller, and the controller reduces the opening of the fourth valve assembly FCV-01 and increases the opening of the third valve assembly FCV-02, so that the flow rate of nitrogen gas entering the raw gas tank increases, and the ratio of the reading of the nitrogen gas flow meter FT-02 to the reading of the hydrogen gas flow meter FT-01 is stabilized at 1:3.

[0115] The nitrogen gas storage tank is provided with a pressure transmitter PT-02, when the pressure of the nitrogen gas storage tank rises, the controller reduces the air output of the air separation system, and when the pressure of the nitrogen gas storage tank decreases, the controller increases the air output of the air separation system, thereby maintaining the pressure of the nitrogen gas storage tank stable.
