[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a design and evaluation system for a carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system based on techno-economic analysis includes:

[0023] The model determination module is used to determine the mathematical model for the economic analysis of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system based on the input system flowchart and energy and material flow information. This model includes the electrolyzer operating status model, the capital and operating cost composition model, and the financial summary model.

[0024] The results analysis module is used to output the technical and economic analysis results of the system based on the input operating parameters, market parameters, and technical parameters of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system. After the determined parameter set is input and the system economic analysis is completed, data analysis results such as bar charts of capital cost and operating cost composition, and contour plots of average production cost can be drawn to help quantitatively analyze the impact of various factors on the system's economy.

[0025] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a design and evaluation method for a carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system based on techno-economic analysis is presented. This method incorporates carbon emission costs into economic considerations, taking into account anode substitution reactions, and rationally and scientifically assesses the impact of various factors on the economics of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system. Based on the analytical results, the method optimizes or comparatively evaluates the design of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system. The method includes:

[0026] Step S1: Summarize and draw a flowchart of the initial design of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system, clarify the design products, clarify the composition and operating principle of each component of the system, and determine the path and direction of the overall energy flow and material flow.

[0027] Step S2: Based on the flowchart drawn in Step S1, determine the mathematical model for the techno-economic analysis of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system, including the electrolyzer operating status model, the capital and operating cost composition model, and the financial summary analysis model.

[0028] Step S3: Based on the mathematical model determined in Step S2, the parameters involved in the model are divided into three groups for determination: First, operational parameters are determined based on the potential market demand and development prospects of the designed product, as well as industry practices and experience in the chemical production field. These include designed output, annual operating time, facility lifespan, and auxiliary equipment cost ratios. Second, market parameters are determined, including: electricity prices and carbon emission factors for different power grids, renewable electricity prices and carbon emission factors, carbon emission prices in various carbon emission markets, carbon dioxide procurement prices, procurement prices of selected anode replacement reaction feedstocks, and system component installation and operation-related cost parameters, based on official data. Finally, technical parameters are determined based on laboratory experimental data, including current density, electrolysis voltage, anode and cathode selectivity, and single-pass conversion rate of raw materials.

[0029] Step S4 involves using the three sets of parameters determined as model inputs and outputting the economic analysis results of the system. This provides suggestions and guidance for the optimized design of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system and can also be used to demonstrate the feasibility of putting the system into commercial use.

[0030] The flow chart of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system in step S1 may include the following or other processes with similar functions: carbon dioxide capture and purification process, carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction process, gas-liquid product separation process, electrolyte (solution) regeneration process, carbon dioxide (carbonate) separation and recovery process, gaseous product compression, storage and utilization process, liquid product storage, processing and utilization process, etc. To accurately describe the system's techno-economic efficiency, it is necessary to determine the overall energy flow and the path and direction of the material flow.

[0031] In step S2, the electrolyzer operating state model is a mathematical model that clarifies the energy and material flow through the electrolyzer under specified operating parameter sets and technical parameter sets. It includes the following parameters and their calculation methods:

[0032] The formula for calculating the total current of an electrolytic cell is as follows:

[0033]

[0034] In the formula Y d The design yield is given by: F is the Faraday constant; M is the molar mass of the substance corresponding to the subscript; FE is the electrode selectivity corresponding to the subscript; Z is the number of electrons transferred to generate 1 mol of product molecules corresponding to the subscript when the reactant undergoes oxidation / reduction to produce the product.

[0035] Accordingly, the formulas for calculating the total electrode area and total power of the electrolytic cell are as follows:

[0036]

[0037] P total =VI total

[0038] In the formula, V is the electrolysis voltage;

[0039] The formulas for calculating the mass flow rates of CO2 and anolyte reactants required to achieve the designed output are as follows:

[0040]

[0041] In the formula, M is the molar mass of the substance molecule corresponding to the subscript; n is the number of product molecules generated by consuming 1 substance molecule corresponding to the subscript.

[0042] The formulas for calculating the mass flow rates of CO2 at the inlet and outlet of the electrolytic cell and the anode reactants are as follows:

[0043]

[0044] In the formula, SPC is the single-pass conversion rate; r is the proportion of the corresponding reactants that do not directly participate in the electrode reaction and flow directly out of the reactor from the outlet after being introduced into the electrode inlet;

[0045] The formulas for calculating the volumetric flow rate of the product (pure) and the volumetric flow rate of the electrolyte (assuming the product is liquid) are as follows:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] In the formula ρ p The product density at a given temperature and pressure; x p This represents the volume fraction of the products in the electrolyte.

[0049] These parameters are mainly used to calculate the relevant parameters of the subsequent separation section, such as the gas / liquid volume flow rate that needs to be separated. In other words, the output parameters of the electrolyzer operating status model are used as inputs into the capital and operating cost model for calculation.

[0050] In step S2, the capital and operating cost composition model is a specific representation of the system's economics derived from the parameters of the electrolyzer operating state model and the market parameter set. It includes the following parameters and their calculation methods:

[0051] The formulas for calculating the capital cost of the electrolyzer, the capital cost of auxiliary equipment, and the capital cost of each separation device are as follows:

[0052] CAPEX electrolyzer =c stack A total

[0053]

[0054] In the formula, c stack For stack cost; r BOP The proportion of auxiliary equipment costs; CAPEX separation,i,r The rated capital cost of the equipment corresponding to separation process i; The volumetric flow rate of the gas / liquid substance that needs to undergo separation process i; f is the rated gas / liquid volumetric flow rate of the equipment corresponding to separation process i; capex,i This refers to the capital cost load factor corresponding to separation process i.

[0055] The formulas for calculating the electricity cost of the electrolytic cell, the carbon emission cost of the electrolytic cell, the equipment maintenance and replacement cost, the raw material procurement cost, and the operating cost of each separation unit are as follows:

[0056] OPEXelectricity =P total p e

[0057] OPEX emission =P total f emission p emission

[0058] OPEX maintenance,i =CAPEX i ·r maintenance,i

[0059]

[0060] OPEX reactant =N reactant p reactant

[0061]

[0062] In the formula p e For electricity price; f emission p is the power grid emission factor. emission For carbon emission prices; CAPEX i The capital cost corresponding to equipment i that requires maintenance and replacement; r maintenance,i For equipment i requiring maintenance and replacement, the maintenance and replacement cost is the percentage of the equipment's capital cost per maintenance and replacement cycle; p is the market price of the corresponding raw material; OPEX separation,i,r f is the rated operating cost of the equipment corresponding to separation process i; opex,i This is the operating cost load scaling factor corresponding to separation process i;

[0063] In step S2, the financial summary analysis model uses target parameters to evaluate the overall economic performance of the system and analyzes the impact of a certain parameter on the target parameter using univariate sensitivity analysis. This includes the following parameters and their calculation methods:

[0064] The average production cost of a product is defined as the ratio of the total cost over the facility's life to the designed total output over the facility's life, and its calculation formula is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, CAPEX i OPEX is the cost of capital defined in the capital and operating cost composition model. j The various operating costs defined in the capital and operating cost composition model; L plant Total facility lifespan (years); T operating The annual operating time is [number].

[0067] Univariate sensitivity analysis typically ensures that changing specific parameters results in an arithmetic or geometrical relationship between the pessimistic, baseline, and optimistic parameters, i.e., according to the following formula:

[0068] a i,pessimistic =a i,basic f i ,a i,optimistic =a i,basic f i -1

[0069] a i,pessimistic =a i,basic +f i ,a i,optimistic =a i,basic -f i

[0070] In the formula a i It can represent any parameter from the operations, marketing, or technical parameter groups; a i The subscripts represent the pessimistic, baseline, and optimistic parameters, respectively; f i For sensitivity analysis factors;

[0071] Change a alone i After performing the above model calculations on the baseline, optimistic, and pessimistic values, a can be quantitatively analyzed. i For target parameters The degree of influence is given by the following formula:

[0072]

[0073] In this method, the average production cost of the product is selected. The target parameter is R.

[0074] Taking the glycerol oxidation anode substitution reaction carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction for formic acid production system based on a compact membrane-free reactor developed and designed in a certain laboratory as an example, the effects of the present invention are illustrated:

[0075] Step 1: Summarize and draw the system flowchart, mainly including schematic diagrams of the traditional and improved electrolytic cell structures and energy and material flow, and reasonably assume supporting equipment and process technology. (See...) Figure 2 , Figure 3 )

[0076] Step 2: Determine appropriate operating parameters, market parameters, and suitable technical parameters based on laboratory test data. (See Tables 1, 2, and 3)

[0077] Step 3: Using the method of this invention, establish a suitable mathematical model for the economic analysis of the carbon dioxide electrochemical reduction system, and solve it to obtain the composition of the system's capital and operating costs and the target parameters for evaluating the overall economic efficiency.

[0078] Under the same operating parameter group and market parameter group, the economics of four electrolyzer systems—AEM-CO2R / OER, AEM-CO2R / GOR, membrane-free CO2R / GOR, and membrane-free compact CO2R / GOR—were calculated and compared (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 4 );

[0079] The impact of grid electricity price and carbon emission price on the economics of the membraneless compact CO2R / GOR electrolyzer system under different combinations of grid electricity price and high and low carbon emission price was studied (see [link]). Figure 5 );

[0080] Univariate sensitivity analysis (parameter set shown in Table 4) was used to quantitatively analyze the impact of certain market and technical parameters on the system's economics (see Table 4). Figure 6 ).
