Background Art
[0002] Currently, electrothermal hydrogen systems are widely used in many fields, such as energy storage, fuel cells, and the chemical industry. These systems efficiently couple electricity, hydrogen, and thermal energy. They convert electricity into hydrogen and thermal energy through water electrolysis, and then convert hydrogen back into electricity and thermal energy through fuel cells, achieving efficient energy conversion and storage. This system offers advantages such as high energy efficiency, low carbon emissions, and the promotion of renewable energy utilization, and is considered a key development direction in the future energy sector.
[0003] However, achieving efficient operation of electrothermal hydrogen systems requires optimization. The electrolyzer is one of the core devices in electrothermal hydrogen systems, utilizing surplus renewable energy to electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. Different types of electrolyzers differ in structure, materials, and operating principles, resulting in varying performance and characteristics. Most current research simplifies the electrolyzer model to a simple conversion factor, while few consider the refined operational constraints of the electrolyzer.
[0004] On the other hand, different types of electrolyzers have different advantages and scopes of application. For example, traditional alkaline electrolyzers have the advantages of low cost and high electrolysis efficiency; proton exchange membrane electrolyzers have high operational flexibility; and high-temperature solid oxide electrolyzers have high electrolysis efficiency. Currently, most studies only consider the application of alkaline electrolyzers, and few studies comprehensively consider the differentiated characteristics of alkaline electrolyzers. Research on the optimization of the differentiated characteristics of multiple types of electrolyzers is relatively insufficient. Therefore, different types of electrolyzers need to be optimized based on their differentiated characteristics to give full play to their respective performance advantages. Summary of the Invention

[0113] In step 4), the solution method and solution steps are as follows:
[0114] The upper-level equipment capacity design model involves capacity design decisions for multiple types of equipment, including multiple types of electrolyzers, multiple types of energy storage equipment, fuel cells, and electric boilers. Therefore, the present invention uses a particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the upper-level equipment capacity design model and a branch-and-bound method to solve the lower-level system optimization operation model. The solution process of the two-level optimization design model is shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 shown.
[0115] The specific solution steps are as follows:
[0116] 1) Particle swarm initialization:
[0117] Set the particle swarm algorithm parameters, including population size, particle dimension, learning factor, and inertia weight settings, and give the initial values of the speed and position of each particle.
[0118] 2) Calculate the fitness value of the particle:
[0119] The branch and bound method is used to solve the optimal operation model of the lower system, and the daily operating income under a certain capacity configuration result is obtained. The equivalent daily investment cost is deducted as the fitness value, and non-inferiority ranking is performed.
[0120] 3) Update the position and velocity of the particle:
[0121] First, the particle's position and velocity range boundaries are given, and the particle's position and velocity are updated according to the update formula. Boundary detection is performed after each update to determine whether the new particle's speed and position are greater than the boundary value. If so, the boundary value is directly used as the particle's new position and velocity.
[0122] 4) Calculate the fitness of the particle's new position:
[0123] The optimization operation results of the lower-level system optimization operation model are called again to calculate the new fitness value, and the new fitness values are sorted according to the size of the fitness values.
[0124] 5) Update individual optimal values and global optimal values:
[0125] Compare the fitness value of the new population particles with the original optimal fitness value, and update the individual optimal value and the global optimal value.
[0126] 6) Termination condition judgment:
[0127] The algorithm terminates when the fitness of the optimal individual reaches a given threshold, or when the fitness of the optimal individual and the fitness of the group converge, or when the maximum number of iterations is reached.
[0128] In this embodiment, when solving the upper model, the capacity configuration results generated by the particle swarm algorithm are substituted into the typical summer day and the typical winter day to calculate their daily net benefits, and the weighted average of the two is used as the fitness value of the upper particle swarm algorithm. The convergence process of the solution is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the capacity design results of the upper model are as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0129] In order to compare the economic, environmental and reliability characteristics of the system under different configuration ratios of multiple types of electrolyzers, the capacity of other equipment except the electrolyzer was fixed, and the sum of the capacity of the three electrolyzers was fixed to 60. The ratio of alkaline electrolyzer, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer and solid oxide electrolyzer was changed. 19 configuration schemes were selected. The specific configuration schemes are shown in Table 1. The results are compared. Figure 5 shown.
