[0014] The energy storage capacity configuration method for the off-grid hydrogen production system of renewable energy provided by the present invention determines the capacity required for basic operation and the capacity required for restart based on the basic operation maintenance time and the preset system restart time, respectively. Considering that the state of charge of the energy storage unit should not be overcharged or over-discharged, the rated energy storage capacity is obtained by combining the preset capacity ratio, so as to ensure that the rated energy storage capacity can meet the basic operation maintenance without excessive redundancy, thus achieving energy storage balance.

[0035] The power amplification factor is determined based on the losses of the off-grid hydrogen production system.

[0036] Multiplying the power by the power amplification factor yields the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage.

[0037] The present invention provides a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system for renewable energy. The power sum is determined based on the total power and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit, and the power amplification factor is determined in combination with the line loss. This method then obtains the maximum charging and discharging power of the energy storage unit, ensuring that the off-grid hydrogen production system can maintain stable operation for a certain period of time when renewable energy power generation is unstable.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] This invention provides a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system based on renewable energy sources. By collecting and analyzing various data from the off-grid hydrogen production system, the method aims to reduce the complexity of energy storage capacity calculation and improve its accuracy.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system for renewable energy is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0052] This embodiment provides a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system based on renewable energy, which can be used in the aforementioned computer system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the off-grid hydrogen production system includes an energy storage unit, a hydrogen production unit, a power generation unit, and a plant power supply unit. These units are interconnected via an AC bus. The energy storage capacity configuration includes: configuring the rated energy storage capacity and determining the maximum charge / discharge power of the energy storage. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system based on an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0053] Step S101: Obtain the total power required for the basic operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system and the preset basic operation duration, and determine the rated energy storage capacity of the energy storage unit according to the preset energy storage capacity configuration requirements based on the total power and the preset basic operation duration.

[0054] Specifically, the off-grid hydrogen production system comprises multiple units, each with a minimum basic operating power to maintain basic operation. The basic operating power of each unit is obtained, and the sum of the basic operating powers of all units is calculated as the total power. The preset basic operation maintenance duration can be the required time for the entire process from system startup to preheating completion. The duration can be adjusted according to actual conditions; this is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0055] Step S102: Obtain the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit, and obtain the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage based on the total power and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit.

[0056] Specifically, the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage unit needs to match the rated power of a single electrolyzer in the hydrogen production unit to ensure that the energy storage unit has the ability to support the operation of a single electrolyzer at its rated power for short periods. The hydrogen production unit includes multiple hydrogen production devices (such as electrolyzers), and its lower limit of operating power includes the rated power of a single electrolyzer, the power of the matching gas-liquid separation frame, purification device, and auxiliary equipment such as hydrogen compressors.

[0057] The energy storage capacity configuration method for off-grid hydrogen production systems provided in this embodiment reduces the computational complexity of energy storage capacity by collecting and analyzing various data from the off-grid hydrogen production system, enhances the interpretability of decisions, and improves the versatility of the energy storage capacity configuration method.

[0058] This embodiment provides a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system based on renewable energy, which can be used in the aforementioned computer system. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for configuring the energy storage capacity of an off-grid hydrogen production system based on an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0059] Step S201: Obtain the total power required for the basic operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system and the preset basic operation duration, and determine the rated energy storage capacity of the energy storage unit according to the preset energy storage capacity configuration requirements based on the total power and the preset basic operation duration.

[0060] Specifically, the preset basic operation requirement duration includes: preset basic operation maintenance duration and preset system restart duration. Step S201 above includes:

[0061] Step S2011: Determine the basic operation maintenance capacity of the energy storage unit based on the total power and the preset basic operation maintenance duration.

[0062] In some optional implementations, step S2011 above includes:

[0063] Step a1: Multiply the total power by the preset basic operation duration to obtain the basic maintenance capacity.

[0064] Specifically, the duration for which the off-grid hydrogen production system maintains basic operation is set according to the actual situation. The total power for maintaining basic operation is multiplied by the preset duration for maintaining basic operation to obtain the basic capacity for maintaining basic operation, which is equivalent to the required basic capacity for maintaining basic operation when the off-grid hydrogen production system operates at total power for the preset duration for maintaining basic operation.

[0065] Step a2: Determine the capacity amplification factor based on the losses of the off-grid hydrogen production system.

[0066] Specifically, during system operation, energy conversion is not 100% complete; there will be basic energy losses due to lines, transformers, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to add appropriate redundancy on the basis of maintaining the basic capacity, and determine the capacity amplification factor based on the actual losses.

[0067] Step a3: Determine the basic operating maintenance capacity of the energy storage unit based on the basic maintenance capacity and the capacity amplification factor.

[0068] Specifically, the basic operating capacity is amplified by the capacity amplification factor determined by the actual losses, and the basic operating capacity is obtained by multiplying the basic operating capacity by the capacity amplification factor.

[0069] Step S2012: Determine the restart capacity of the energy storage unit based on the total power and the preset system restart time.

[0070] In some optional implementations, step S2012 above includes:

[0071] Step b1: Multiply the total power by the preset system restart duration to obtain the basic restart capacity.

[0072] Specifically, the preset system restart duration can be the restart duration of the power generation equipment in the power generation unit, such as the restart duration of a wind turbine. This is just an example and is not a limitation. The energy storage unit needs to maintain basic operation for a certain period of time before the system enters a shutdown state, waiting for the next wind speed to meet the conditions for wind turbine power generation. Therefore, the energy storage unit also needs to meet the capacity required for system restart.

[0073] Step b2: Determine the restart capacity of the energy storage unit based on the basic restart capacity and the capacity amplification factor.

[0074] Specifically, the restart capacity of the energy storage unit is obtained by multiplying the basic restart capacity by the capacity amplification factor.

[0075] The energy storage capacity configuration method for the off-grid hydrogen production system of renewable energy provided in this embodiment needs to consider the losses of lines and transformers when calculating the basic operation maintenance capacity and restart capacity, determine the capacity amplification factor, and then add appropriate redundancy to the basic operation maintenance capacity and restart capacity according to the capacity amplification factor to ensure the normal operation of the basic operation and restart process.

[0076] Step S2013: Determine the rated capacity of energy storage based on the basic operating capacity, restart capacity, and the preset capacity ratio of the energy storage unit.

[0077] In some optional implementations, step S2013 above includes:

[0078] Step c1: Add the basic operating capacity to the restart capacity to obtain the energy storage capacity.

[0079] Step c2: Divide the energy storage capacity by the preset capacity ratio to obtain the rated energy storage capacity.

[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the basic operating capacity is added to the restart capacity to obtain the energy storage capacity required by the energy storage unit to meet the basic operating time of the system and the restart after shutdown. However, since the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage unit cannot be too low or too high during normal operation, there will be a ratio of the state of charge under normal operation to the rated capacity of the energy storage unit. This ratio is used as the preset capacity ratio. The energy storage capacity is divided by the preset capacity ratio to obtain the rated energy storage capacity.

[0081] The energy storage capacity configuration method for the off-grid hydrogen production system provided in this embodiment considers the capacity required for basic operation, the capacity required for restart, and the state of charge (SBC) of the energy storage units during the configuration process. This ensures that the energy storage units operate in a normal state, avoids overcharging or over-discharging, and guarantees stable operation. The required capacity for basic operation and the required capacity for restart are determined based on the basic operation maintenance duration and the preset system restart duration. Considering that the SBC of the energy storage units should not be overcharged or over-discharged, the rated energy storage capacity is obtained by combining this with a preset capacity ratio. This ensures that the rated energy storage capacity meets the basic operation maintenance needs without excessive redundancy, achieving energy storage balance.

[0082] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the off-grid hydrogen production system includes: an energy storage unit, a hydrogen production unit, a power generation unit, and a plant auxiliary power unit, with a total power output including:

[0083] 1. The first power is used to maintain the basic operation of the energy storage unit. It is determined by multiplying the rated capacity of the energy storage unit by a preset power ratio. Specifically, the energy storage unit includes energy storage batteries, energy storage inverters, fire protection systems, and auxiliary equipment such as air conditioning. The first power is the maximum power consumed by the air conditioning system (when meeting the charging and discharging temperature requirements of the energy storage battery) and the fire protection equipment (when meeting safety requirements). This is just an example and not a limitation. The maximum power of the auxiliary equipment is proportional to the rated capacity of the energy storage unit; the first power is obtained by multiplying the rated capacity of the energy storage unit by the preset power ratio. The rated capacity of the energy storage unit used here is an unknown variable.

[0084] 2. Secondary power is used to maintain the basic operation of the power generation unit. Specifically, the power generation unit is a renewable energy power generation unit, including: wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, and supporting converters, etc. The secondary power is the maximum power consumed to maintain the power generation equipment in a hot standby state. When the power generation unit is wind power generation, it is necessary to maintain the wind turbine gearbox oil temperature to meet the starting oil temperature. In this case, the secondary power is mainly the power of the wind turbine gearbox oil temperature heater. This is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0085] 3. The third power is used to maintain the basic operation of the hydrogen production unit. Specifically, the hydrogen production unit includes an electrolyzer, a gas-liquid separation frame, a purification unit, and auxiliary equipment such as a hydrogen compressor. The third power is the maximum power consumed by the air conditioning installed to maintain the temperature of the electrolyzer and the fire-fighting equipment installed to meet safety requirements. This is only an example and is not a limitation.

[0086] 4. The fourth power is used to maintain the basic operation of the plant's auxiliary power units. Specifically, the auxiliary power units mainly include the power supply for the control system, the power supply for fire protection loads, and the power consumption for personnel living in the plant, such as air conditioning and electric auxiliary heaters. The fourth power mainly refers to the maximum power consumed by the power supply for the control system, the power supply for fire protection loads, lighting, and the power consumption for personnel living in the plant, such as air conditioning and electric auxiliary heaters. This is only an example and is not a limitation.

[0087] The capacities of the renewable energy power generation unit, hydrogen production unit, and plant power supply unit have been determined, but the capacity of the energy storage unit needs to be determined based on the operating conditions of each unit. In the off-grid renewable energy hydrogen production system, the power consumed by the hydrogen production unit mainly comes from the real-time renewable energy power generation unit, meaning the load power changes with the power generation. The main role of the energy storage unit is to build the bus voltage, balance the power of the hydrogen production unit and the power generation unit, and when the output of the renewable energy power generation unit is insufficient, the electrolyzer reduces its power until it shuts down completely, and the energy storage unit discharges to maintain the basic operation of the system.

[0088] The energy storage capacity configuration method for the off-grid hydrogen production system provided in this embodiment includes the basic operating power of the four units that make up the off-grid hydrogen production system, and the method for collecting the power of each unit and calculating the total power is simple and highly interpretable.

[0089] Step S202: Obtain the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit, and obtain the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage based on the total power and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit.

[0090] Specifically, step S202 includes:

[0091] Step S2021: Calculate the sum of the total power and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit.

[0092] Specifically, the lower limit of the operating power of a hydrogen production unit is the minimum power required for the unit to maintain hydrogen production. Generally, the power required for a single electrolyzer to operate at its rated power is used as the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit. This mainly includes the rated power of the single electrolyzer, as well as the power of the associated gas-liquid separation frame, purification unit, and auxiliary equipment such as the hydrogen compressor. The total power is then added to the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit to obtain the total power.

[0093] Step S2022: Determine the power amplification factor based on the losses of the off-grid hydrogen production system.

[0094] Specifically, after meeting the total power requirements for basic system operation and the lower limit of the operating power requirements of the hydrogen production unit, it is also necessary to consider the losses of lines and transformers, and to add appropriate redundancy. The power amplification factor is determined based on the actual losses, and usually the power amplification factor is the same as the capacity amplification factor.

[0095] Step S2023: Multiply the power by the power amplification factor to obtain the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage.

[0096] The energy storage capacity configuration method for the off-grid hydrogen production system provided in this embodiment determines the power sum based on the total power and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit, and then determines the power amplification factor in combination with line losses, thereby obtaining the maximum charging and discharging power of the energy storage unit. This ensures that when renewable energy power generation is unstable, the charging and discharging of the energy storage unit can maintain the stable operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system for a certain period of time.

[0097] In one specific embodiment, the renewable energy power generation unit mainly includes five 5MW wind turbines; the hydrogen production unit mainly includes three 1000Nm3 / h electrolyzers, three gas-liquid separation frames, two purification devices, and three hydrogen compressors and other auxiliary equipment; the energy storage unit mainly includes lithium iron phosphate batteries, energy storage converters, fire protection and air conditioning and other auxiliary equipment; and the plant power supply unit mainly includes the power supply for the control system, the power supply for the fire protection load, and the power supply for the station personnel's living quarters, such as air conditioning and electric auxiliary heaters.

[0098] The process for configuring the rated capacity of energy storage is as follows:

[0099] (1-1) Based on the preset power ratio between the rated power of the fire protection and air conditioning equipment in the energy storage unit and the rated capacity of the energy storage unit, the first power required by the energy storage unit to maintain basic operation is obtained. The formula for calculating the first power is as follows:

[0100] P1 = 0.02 × B rated

[0101] Where P1 represents the first power, Brated represents the rated capacity of the energy storage unit, and 0.02 represents the preset power ratio.

[0102] (1-2) Based on the capacity of the renewable power generation unit, obtain the second power required by the power generation unit to maintain the basic operation of the system. The second power is mainly the maximum power consumed to maintain the power generation equipment in hot standby state. When the power generation unit is wind power generation, it is necessary to maintain the oil temperature of the wind turbine gearbox to meet the starting oil temperature. At this time, the second power is mainly the power of the wind turbine gearbox oil temperature heater. The power of the wind turbine gearbox oil temperature heater is 4kW. Then the second power to maintain the basic operation of 5 wind turbines is: P2=5×4kW=20kW.

[0103] (1-3) Based on the rated capacity of the hydrogen production unit, obtain the third power required for the hydrogen production unit to maintain basic operation. Assume the third power is: P3 = 200kW.

[0104] (1-4) Based on the rated capacity of the plant power unit, the fourth power required by the plant power unit to maintain basic operation is obtained. Assume that the fourth power is: P4 = 150kW.

[0105] (1-5) The total power of the off-grid hydrogen production system is obtained by adding the first power, the second power, the third power, and the fourth power: P opt =0.02×B rated +370.

[0106] (1-6) Assuming the preset basic operation duration for maintaining the system's basic operation is 12 hours, multiplying the total power by the preset basic operation duration yields the basic maintenance capacity:

[0107] W cal =(0.02×B) rated +370)×12

[0108] Based on this, and considering the losses in lines and transformers, the capacity amplification factor is determined to be 1.2. Therefore, the basic operating maintenance capacity is determined based on the basic sustaining capacity and the capacity amplification factor.

[0109] W call =(0.02×B) rated +370)×12×1.2 (1).

[0110] (1-7) Multiply the total power by the preset system restart time (here, the wind turbine restart time) to obtain the basic restart capacity. Assuming the wind turbine restart time is 1 hour, the basic restart capacity is:

[0111] W res =(0.02×B) rated +370)×1

[0112] Based on this, and considering the losses in the lines and transformers, the capacity amplification factor is determined to be 1.2. Therefore, the restart capacity is determined based on the basic restart capacity and the capacity amplification factor.

[0113] W ress =(0.02×B) rated +370)×1×1.2 (2).

[0114] (1-8) Determine the rated energy storage capacity based on the basic operating capacity, restart capacity, and state-of-charge limitations of the energy storage units. Add the basic operating capacity and restart capacity to obtain the energy storage capacity: W con =W call +W ress .

[0115] The energy storage capacity corresponds to the capacity of the normal operating range of the energy storage unit. Based on the proportion of the normal operating range, the rated energy storage capacity is calculated. The energy storage unit has overcharge / over-discharge warning zones: the over-discharge warning line is 10%, and the overcharge warning line is 90%. The normal operating range of the energy storage is 10% to 90%, meaning the normal operating range accounts for 80% of the total capacity. Therefore, the rated energy storage capacity is: W conn =(W call +W ress Divide the equation by 0.8 and solve for the rated energy storage capacity to obtain the configuration result.

[0116] W conn =(W call +W ress 0.8 ÷ B rated (3)

[0117] Combining formulas (1), (2), and (3), the configuration result of the rated energy storage capacity is calculated as follows: B rated =11827.86885kW·h.

[0118] The process for configuring the maximum charge and discharge power of energy storage is as follows:

[0119] (2-1) Based on the total power required for the basic operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system and the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit, and considering line and transformer losses, the maximum charging and discharging power of the energy storage is calculated.

[0120] Based on the above calculations, the rated energy storage capacity B is obtained. rated = 11827.86885 kW·h, according to the formula P opt =0.02×B rated +370 calculations yield the following total power required for the basic operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system:

[0121] P opt =0.02×B rated +370=606.557377kW (4).

[0122] The rated power of a single hydrogen production unit, along with the power of its associated gas-liquid separation frame, purification unit, cooling unit, and replica equipment such as the hydrogen compressor, are obtained as the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit. Let's assume the obtained lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit is:

[0123] P5 = 5700kW (5).

[0124] (2-2) The total power required for the basic operation of the off-grid hydrogen production system is added to the lower limit of the operating power of the hydrogen production unit to obtain the power sum:

[0125] P dis =P opt +P5 (6)

[0126] Based on this, considering losses in the lines and transformers and adding appropriate redundancy, the power amplification factor is determined. Generally, the power amplification factor is the same as the capacity amplification factor, so it is also 1.2. Multiplying the power by the power amplification factor yields the maximum charge / discharge power of the energy storage.

[0127] P dismax =(P opt +P5)×1.2 (7)

[0128] Combining formulas (4), (5), (6), and (7), the maximum charge and discharge power of the energy storage is calculated as: P dismax =7567.8688524kW.

[0129] In practical applications, the calculated rated energy storage capacity and maximum charge / discharge power are usually rounded up. That is, the rated energy storage capacity is configured as 12MW·h and the maximum charge / discharge power is 8MW, and then fine-tuned according to the actual energy storage converter and battery specifications.
