Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of distributed energy supply, and particularly to a distributed energy supply system based on solid-gas coupled hydrogen storage and its working method. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] As a common hydrogen storage method, solid-state hydrogen storage in metal hydrides has advantages such as good safety and low pressure. However, a single hydrogen storage method has different defects in terms of volumetric hydrogen storage density, energy consumption, dynamic response, and occupied space. Adopting a solid-gas coupled hydrogen storage method is an effective way to solve these problems. At the same time, a new hydrogen storage method through the coupling of solid-state hydrogen storage and gaseous hydrogen storage can effectively meet the energy storage requirements and dynamic response of hydrogen fuel cells or fixed power generation systems, providing an opportunity for the diversified development of distributed energy supply systems.
[0004] Hydrogen fuel cells have advantages such as high energy conversion efficiency, low working temperature, fast dynamic response speed, and recyclable energy.

[0049] Among them, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 is connected to the low-voltage storage battery 15 through the second DC / DC converter 8.
[0050] Among them, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 is connected to the user 17 through the first DC / AC converter 9.
[0051] Among them, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 is connected to the electric water heater 11 through the second DC / AC converter 10, and the electric water heater 11 is connected to the heat storage tank 18.
[0052] Among them, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 is connected to the electrolyzer 3 through the first DC / DC converter 2, the electrolyzer 3 is connected to the oxygen cylinder 5 through the first solenoid valve 4, and the electrolyzer 3 is sequentially connected to the hydrogen buffer tank 13 through the second solenoid valve 6, the compressor 7, and the third solenoid valve 14.
[0053] Among them, the hydrogen buffer tank 13 is connected to the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage device 12, and the hydrogen buffer tank 13 is sequentially connected to the hydrogen inlet of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 through the second humidifier 33, the hydrogen flow meter 32, the second pressure sensor 31, and the second temperature sensor 30.
[0054] Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is also provided with an air (oxygen) inlet, and air sequentially passes through an air filter 23, an air compressor 24, a first humidifier 25, an air flow meter 26, a first pressure sensor 27, a first temperature sensor 28, and the air inlet to enter the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22.
[0055] Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is also provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is connected to a second humidifier 33 through a circulating hydrogen pump 34.
[0056] Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is also provided with a reaction air outlet, and a fifth solenoid valve 29 is arranged at the reaction air outlet.
[0057] Among them, the electrodes of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 are connected to a user 17 through a fourth DC / AC converter 19; the electrodes of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 are connected to a low-voltage storage battery 15 through a third DC / DC converter 20.
[0058] Among them, the low-voltage storage battery 15 is connected to the user 17 through a third DC / AC converter 16.
[0059] Among them, the water outlet (coolant outlet) of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is respectively connected to the user 17, a heat storage tank 18, and a metal hydride solid hydrogen storage device 12 through a fourth solenoid valve 21.
[0060] Among them, the heat storage tank 18 is connected to the user 17.
[0061] Among them, the water outlet of the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage device 12 is connected to the water inlet of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22.
[0062] When the sunlight is sufficient during the day, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 absorbs sunlight and directly supplies electric energy to the user 17 through a first DC / AC converter 9. After meeting the usage requirements, the excess electric energy is stored in the low-voltage storage battery 15 through a second DC / DC converter 8. After the electric energy of the low-voltage storage battery 15 is stored, the excess electric energy from solar power generation drives the electric water heater 11 to operate and generate hot water through a second DC / AC converter 10, and the hot water is stored in the hot water tank 18. Subsequently, the excess electric energy drives the electrolytic cell 3 to operate through a first DC / DC converter 2, generating oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen is stored in an oxygen cylinder 5 through a first solenoid valve 4; the generated hydrogen passes through a second solenoid valve 6, is appropriately pressurized by a compressor 7, and is stored in the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12 through a third solenoid valve 14 and a hydrogen buffer tank 13.
[0063] When the sunlight is insufficient at night or during the day, the energy will be supplied to the user 17 through the coordinated operation of components such as the low-voltage storage battery 15, the heat storage tank 18, and the fuel cell 22 during the hydrogen storage process. Among them, the low-voltage storage battery 15 preferentially supplies electrical energy to the user through the third DC / AC converter 16. After the stored electrical energy is basically exhausted, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 starts to supply electrical energy. At this time, due to the limitation of the hydrogen supply rate of the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank, the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12 needs to release hydrogen. The hydrogen is first transferred to the hydrogen buffer tank 13 and then released from the hydrogen buffer tank 13 to achieve the coordinated operation of the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12 and the hydrogen buffer tank 13, ensuring that the hydrogen supply speed can meet the normal use requirements. The hydrogen is humidified by the second humidifier 33 to meet the fuel cell's use requirements. The flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the hydrogen supplied to the fuel cell are measured by the hydrogen flow meter 32, the second pressure sensor 31, and the second temperature sensor 30. Based on the measured values of the flow rate, pressure, and temperature, the opening of the third solenoid valve 14 and the working power of the second humidifier 33 are adjusted in a timely manner to ensure that the supplied hydrogen flow rate, temperature, and humidity meet the normal use of the fuel cell. The air is filtered by the air filter 23 to remove relevant impurities, the pressure of the supplied air is appropriately increased by the air compressor 24, and the air is humidified by the first humidifier 25 to meet the fuel cell's use requirements. The flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the air supplied to the fuel cell are measured by the air flow meter 26, the first pressure sensor 27, and the first temperature sensor 28. The air is matched according to the operation of the fuel cell to keep the air excess ratio of the fuel cell between 1.65 and 2 to meet the normal use of the fuel cell when connected to the load, minimizing the voltage drop and voltage fluctuation under load changes and maintaining high fuel cell performance. The chemical energy is converted into electrical energy by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 and is preferentially supplied to the user 17 through the fourth DC / AC converter 19. When this electrical energy supply can meet the normal use of the user, the excess electrical energy passes through the third DC / DC converter 20 and is supplied to the low-voltage storage battery 15. The heat generated by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is taken away by the coolant (from the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12) and is preferentially supplied to the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12 through the fourth solenoid valve 21 to meet the heat requirement during its hydrogen release process. Other heat is preferentially supplied to the user 17. When the user's heat demand is met, the remaining heat is stored in the heat storage tank 18. When the user side 17 needs to use hot water, it is supplied by the heat generated by the heat storage tank 18 and the fuel cell reaction. The unreacted hydrogen returns to the front of the second humidifier 33 through the circulating hydrogen pump 34, is processed through a series of steps, and then enters the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 again for reaction. The reacted air is directly discharged after passing through the fifth solenoid valve 29.
[0064] A distributed energy supply system based on solid-gas coupled hydrogen storage provided in this embodiment adopts a coordinated working mode of metal hydride solid hydrogen storage and a hydrogen buffer tank to meet the hydrogen supply requirements of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Compared with the traditional single hydrogen storage mode, it improves the hydrogen supply rate and process stability.
[0065] A distributed energy supply system based on solid-gas coupled hydrogen storage provided in this embodiment realizes the full recovery and utilization of waste heat in the distributed energy supply system by introducing the waste heat generated during the operation of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell into the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank, the heat storage tank, and the heat user, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the distributed energy supply system.
[0066] Embodiment 2
[0067] Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a working method for a distributed energy supply system based on solid-gas coupled hydrogen storage as in Embodiment 1, including the following steps:
[0068] (1) Hydrogen storage process.
[0069] When there is sufficient sunlight during the day, the solar photovoltaic panel 1 absorbs sunlight and directly supplies electric energy to the user 17 through the first DC / AC converter 9. After meeting the usage requirements, the excess electric energy is stored in the low-voltage battery 15 through the second DC / DC converter 8. After the low-voltage battery 15 finishes storing electric energy, the excess electric energy generated by solar power drives the electric water heater 11 to operate through the second DC / AC converter 10 to produce hot water, which is stored in the hot water tank 18. Subsequently, the excess electric energy drives the electrolyzer 3 to operate through the first DC / DC converter 2 to generate oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen is stored in the oxygen cylinder 5 through the first solenoid valve 4; the generated hydrogen passes through the second solenoid valve 6, is appropriately pressurized by the compressor 7, and is stored in the metal hydride solid hydrogen storage tank 12 through the third solenoid valve 14 and the hydrogen buffer tank 13.
[0070] (2) Hydrogen release process.
[0071] When there is insufficient sunlight at night or during the day, energy is supplied to the user 17 through the coordinated operation of parts such as the low-voltage battery 15, the heat storage tank 18, and the fuel cell 22 during the hydrogen storage process.
[0072] Among them, the low-voltage battery 15 preferentially supplies electrical energy to users through the third DC / AC converter 16. After the electrical energy stored here is basically exhausted, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 starts to supply electrical energy. At this time, due to the limitation of the hydrogen supply rate of the metal hydride solid-state hydrogen storage tank, the metal hydride solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 needs to release hydrogen. After the hydrogen is first transferred to the gaseous buffer tank 12, it is released from the gaseous buffer tank 12, realizing the coordination between the metal hydride solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 and the gaseous buffer tank 13 to ensure that the hydrogen supply speed can meet the normal use requirements. After the second humidifier 33 humidifies the hydrogen to meet the humidity requirements of the fuel cell, the hydrogen flowmeter 32, the second pressure sensor 31, and the second temperature sensor 30 complete the measurement of the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the hydrogen supplied to the fuel cell. Thus, the valve opening and the working power of the humidifier are adjusted in a timely manner to ensure that the supplied hydrogen flow rate, temperature, and humidity meet the normal use of the fuel cell. The air passes through the air filter 23 to filter out relevant impurities, and the air compressor 24 appropriately increases the pressure of the supplied air. The first humidifier 25 humidifies the air to meet the use requirements of the fuel cell. The air flowmeter 26, the first pressure sensor 27, and the first temperature sensor 28 complete the measurement of the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the air supplied to the fuel cell. After passing through the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. After passing through the fourth DC / AC converter 19, the third DC / DC converter 20 then increases the voltage and preferentially supplies electrical energy to the user 17. When this electrical energy supply can meet the normal use of the user, the excess electrical energy is supplied to the low-voltage battery 15. The heat generated by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 is taken away by the coolant (from the metal hydride solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12) and then preferentially supplied to the metal hydride solid-state hydrogen storage tank 12 through the fourth solenoid valve 21 to meet the heat requirement during its hydrogen release process. Other heat is preferentially supplied to the user 17. When the user's heat requirement is met, the remaining heat is stored in the heat storage tank 18. When the user side 17 needs to use hot water, it is supplied by the heat generated by the heat storage tank 18 and the fuel cell reaction. The unreacted hydrogen returns to before the second humidifier 33 through the circulating hydrogen pump 34 and enters the proton exchange membrane fuel cell 22 again for reaction after a series of treatments. The reacted air is directly discharged after passing through the fifth solenoid valve 29.
[0073] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
