Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of integrated energy system application technology, specifically relating to a provincial-level collaborative multi-type electrolysis hydrogen production method that considers power transmission. Background Technology

[0002] Renewable energy electrolysis for hydrogen production serves as a crucial means of absorbing a high proportion of fluctuating renewable energy sources. On one hand, it addresses the massive renewable energy generation resulting from grid connection of high-proportion renewable energy; on the other hand, it effectively promotes the popularization and development of zero-carbon hydrogen energy. Renewable energy electrolysis for hydrogen production has become one of the important sources of hydrogen energy. Currently, there are three main problems with using renewable energy for hydrogen production: 1. The intermittent and fluctuating nature of renewable energy leads to an unstable hydrogen supply, and the high investment in electrolyzers results in high hydrogen production costs; 2. Significant differences in wind and solar resources across different regions lead to vastly different hydrogen production costs, hindering the comprehensive development of hydrogen energy; 3. Some regions possess substantial potential for renewable energy hydrogen production, but due to limited local hydrogen demand, there is a lack of efficient utilization of renewable energy sources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a provincial-level collaborative multi-type electrolysis hydrogen production method that takes into account power transmission.

[0007] To address the differences in the working characteristics of different types of electrolyzers, a multi-type electrolyzer model considering power characteristics and ramp-up characteristics is established. The model simulates the actual working conditions of different types of electrolyzers.

[0008] Modeling was conducted for wind turbines, photovoltaic cells, hydropower, compressors, hydrogen storage tanks, and energy storage equipment to establish a provincial-level collaborative supply chain model;

[0009] Furthermore, with the goal of minimizing the total system operating cost, a provincial-level collaborative multi-type electrolysis hydrogen production model considering power transmission was established.

[0010] Furthermore, the method for establishing the provincial-level power transmission model includes:

[0015] Under the condition of power balance in the provincial collaborative supply chain system, constraints are imposed on the reserve power, renewable energy generation, and equipment capacity of the provincial collaborative supply chain system.

[0016] Furthermore, the power balance of the provincial collaborative supply chain system is specifically as follows:

[0021] Constraints are imposed on the operation of wind and solar power equipment, hydropower stations, thermal power generating units, battery energy storage, compressors, hydrogen storage tanks, and hydrogen load within the provincial collaborative supply chain.

[0022] Furthermore, the method for establishing the provincial-level collaborative multi-type electrolysis hydrogen production model considering power transmission includes:

[0023] A target function is established for a provincial-level collaborative multi-type electrolysis hydrogen production model that considers power transmission. The target function is:
