Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, and in particular to an optimization method and system for hydrogen production by water electrolysis based on big data analysis. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous increase in global energy demand and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, water electrolysis has attracted widespread attention as a clean and efficient hydrogen production technology. The process of water electrolysis uses electricity to decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is one of the important ways to achieve green energy. Especially in the context of the rapid development of renewable energy, water electrolysis is regarded as an important part of the future hydrogen energy supply chain. However, the efficiency and stability of the water electrolysis process are directly affected by bubble behavior, electrode material fatigue and electrolysis operating conditions. Therefore, how to optimize the various parameters in the electrolysis process and improve the overall performance of the system has become an important issue in the industry.
[0003] However, the existing water electrolysis hydrogen production technology has significant deficiencies in bubble management and fatigue prediction of electrode materials. The existing technology usually only relies on fixed parameters for electrolysis operations and lacks dynamic management of bubble behavior, which easily leads to the accumulation of bubbles on the electrode surface, increasing the electrolysis impedance and reducing the electrolysis efficiency. In addition, the traditional electrode material fatigue life prediction method fails to fully consider multiple factors such as the corrosion environment, current density and stress concentration effect, making it difficult to accurately predict the service life of the material, resulting in premature failure of the electrode or untimely maintenance, thereby affecting the continuity and safety of the system.
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optimization method for hydrogen production by water electrolysis based on big data analysis, which can significantly improve the electrolysis efficiency, extend the service life of the electrode, optimize the electrolysis operation and maintenance management, ensure the stability and economy of the system, and thus provide a reliable and efficient technical solution for the industrial application of hydrogen production by water electrolysis.
