Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a distributed fuel cell power generation system based on solid-state hydrogen storage. Background Art

[0002] As a clean secondary energy carrier, hydrogen can be easily converted into electricity and heat with high conversion efficiency and multiple sources. Using renewable energy to achieve large-scale hydrogen production can provide a hydrogen source for fuel cells. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water through electrochemical reactions and directly convert the chemical energy of the fuel into electrical energy. Fuel cells have obvious advantages in energy conversion efficiency. Traditional fossil energy conversion efficiency is low, and fuel cells can achieve an efficiency of more than 50% in energy conversion, which is much higher than traditional thermal power generation. This means that fuel cells can provide more electricity with the same energy input, effectively improve energy utilization efficiency, and reduce energy waste. This is of great significance at a time when global resources are scarce. Fuel cells have the characteristics of zero emissions. Fuel cells only produce water when working and do not emit polluting gases. In addition, fuel cells have low noise pollution and long service life.

[0003] Compared with other fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, low operating temperature, air as oxidant, non-corrosive electrolyte, fast dynamic response speed, environmentally friendly by-products, noiseless operation, and recyclable energy. Therefore, they are the most widely used. They are currently used in the power systems of vehicles such as automobiles and ships, and have been widely used in fixed and portable power sources.

[0004] At present, the fuel cell power generation system based on solid-state hydrogen storage does not fully consider the structure of the solid-state hydrogen storage bottle, the placement of the solid-state hydrogen storage bottle in the fuel cell, the control strategy, etc.; for example, Chinese patent document CN 114284536A discloses a portable power source based on solid-state hydrogen storage and fuel cell, wherein the portable power source integrates the fuel cell and the hydrogen storage alloy in contact with each other in a shell, and in order to reduce the volume and realize gas-liquid separation, the hydrogen storage alloy is embedded with a gas-liquid separation pipeline connected to the tail exhaust port of the fuel cell, and the water vapor discharged from the tail of the fuel cell is liquefied and stored in the drainage pipeline due to the heat absorption of the hydrogen storage alloy, and the air discharged from the tail of the fuel cell is discharged through the heat exchange pipeline embedded in the hydrogen storage alloy, and a fan is used to provide air for the fuel cell and power for the heat exchange cycle in the shell, and the heat in the tail exhaust air and the heat of the fuel cell body are The hydrogen storage alloy absorbs and releases hydrogen and plays a role in cooling the fuel cell, while the hydrogen released by the hydrogen storage alloy is used for power generation of the fuel cell, thus achieving the purpose of integrating the fuel cell and the hydrogen storage alloy into a portable power source; the above-mentioned fuel cell power generation system based on solid-state hydrogen storage does not use the prediction of demand power to achieve the purpose of early prediction and timely response to the demand power, the gas supply system of the fuel cell is not fully considered, and the structure of the solid-state hydrogen storage bottle is not described in detail; therefore, technical personnel in this field are committed to developing a fuel cell power generation system with stable gas supply, excellent control strategy, stable and reliable solid-state hydrogen storage bottle, high energy conversion efficiency, and strong endurance. Summary of the invention

The DC-DC is used to convert the electric energy output by the fuel cell into 24V direct current through rectification and voltage reduction. The inverter is used to convert the electric energy output by the fuel cell into 220V or 380V alternating current.

[0011] Furthermore, the air compressor is connected to a cooling and humidifying device, which is connected to the cathode inlet of the fuel cell. The cooling and humidifying device cools and humidifies the air delivered by the air compressor to reduce the temperature of the fuel cell, ensure that the fuel cell operates at a suitable temperature, prevent heat accumulation inside the fuel cell from damaging the proton exchange membrane and the catalyst layer, and keep the proton exchange membrane at an appropriate humidity to reduce the ohmic polarization loss of the fuel cell; the cathode outlet of the fuel cell is connected to a throttle to adjust the cathode pressure level.

Each solid-state hydrogen storage bottle is connected to a flow valve at the output interface, which is used to freely control the size of the hydrogen flow rate output by each solid-state hydrogen storage bottle. When providing hydrogen for the fuel cell, the control module can freely control the number of hydrogen supply bottles and the size of the output hydrogen flow rate of each bottle by controlling the opening of the flow valve according to the predicted required power through the functional relationship between the hydrogen flow rate and the power; the flow valve is connected to a mass flow meter for real-time measurement of the actual output flow rate of each solid-state hydrogen storage bottle, and the mass flow meter is connected to the anode inlet of the fuel cell for transmitting the measured hydrogen to the fuel cell; the anode outlet of the fuel cell is connected to the tail exhaust valve for draining water and discharging nitrogen that penetrates from the cathode to the anode.

[0019] Furthermore, the hydrogen storage area is approximately a cylinder with a cross-sectional radius of R, and is filled with a low-temperature solid hydrogen storage alloy LaNi5.

[0020] Furthermore, the solid-state hydrogen storage bottle absorbs heat during the dehydrogenation process and releases heat during the hydrogenation process, stores the heat released during the hydrogenation process through the composite phase change material and releases the heat during the dehydrogenation process; the composite phase change material is composed of lauric acid, oleic acid and capric acid as the original phase change material, and the three are mixed in proportion according to the lowest eutectic principle to obtain the composite phase change material; when the dehydrogenation temperature of the solid-state hydrogen storage bottle reaches 28-34°C, the maximum dehydrogenation flow rate can be obtained. Continuously release hydrogen; therefore, when the mass ratio of lauric acid, oleic acid and capric acid is 31.07-37.68:50.61-54.29:11.71-14.64, the solidification point of the composite material can be guaranteed to be lower than 28°C; the hydrogen stored in the solid hydrogen storage bottle is released at the maximum hydrogen flow rate The mass of the composite phase change material required to be filled when all the heat generated by the composite phase change material is completely absorbed is 5.24kg to 6.47kg.

[0021] Furthermore, a bionic heat-conducting fin based on a parallel vein structure is designed on the contact surface between the composite phase change material filling area and the hydrogen storage area to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the composite phase change material filling area and the hydrogen storage area.

[0022] Furthermore, a bionic heat-conducting fin based on the jade lotus leaf vein structure is designed on the wall between the composite phase change material filling area and the hydrogen storage area to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the composite phase change material filling area and the hydrogen storage area and maintain the thermal balance between the two; the bionic heat-conducting fins are evenly distributed around the wall between the composite phase change material filling area and the hydrogen storage area, and the leaf vein length in the heat-conducting fin structure is L k , leaf vein width is W k , the branch angle is α k, where k represents the number of leaf veins, L1 and W1 are the initial length and width of the first main leaf vein and the first branching angle α2 of the leaf vein structure; let the ratio of the length of the k+1th leaf vein to the length of the kth leaf vein be the length ratio L θ , Let the ratio of the width of the k+1th leaf vein to the width of the kth leaf vein be the length ratio W θ , Let the ratio of the k+1th level leaf vein branch angle to the kth level leaf vein branch angle be the length ratio α θ , Inside the hydrogen storage area, the main leaf veins are extended into the hydrogen storage area with an integrated wavy heat-conducting fin to increase the contact area of ​​the solid hydrogen storage alloy. The length is L0 and the width is W0. The function expression is: When L1=20mm, W1=2mm, α2=60°, and L θ ∈(0.68,0.74),W θ ∈(0.42,0.45),α θ When ∈(0.54,0.59), the thermal fins have better thermal conductivity.

[0023] Furthermore, the control module comprises a data acquisition module, a data analysis module and a control execution module based on the control system;

[0024] S1: The data acquisition module collects various data used by the distributed power generation system in real time, and transmits the collected data to the data analysis module;

[0026] S3: The control execution module automatically executes control measures according to the predicted demand power, and controls the output power of the fuel cell to match the changing demand power in advance.

[0027] Furthermore, in step S1, the data acquisition module acquires the current signal I and the current differential signal dI as well as the voltage signal V and the voltage differential signal dV of the controlled fuel cell power generation system; the current signal I and the voltage signal V are obtained by collecting and differentially extracting the output current of the power generation system after the Hall current sensor and the voltage sensor perform noise filtering; the current differential signal dI and the voltage differential signal dV are obtained by performing differential signal extraction on the extracted current signal I and voltage signal V by the tracking differentiator; the acquisition frequency f is set, and the data acquisition module collects the above data in real time according to the set frequency and transmits it to the data analysis module.

[0028] Furthermore, in step S2, the incoming data is normalized and features are extracted; the voltage signal V, the current signal I, the voltage differential signal dV, and the current differential signal dI are used as input vectors, the input vectors are input into the deep neural network, a deep neural network model is obtained, and the predicted demand power P is output.

[0032] Furthermore, the original data set of 1,000 sets of working condition data obtained was divided into a training data set and a test data set at a ratio of 8:2; the training data set was trained 8,000 to 10,000 times, hoping that the deep neural network could accurately learn and predict the changes in demand power. After the model training is completed, the remaining test data set will be used to test the deep neural network to verify its accuracy in predicting the changes in demand power.

[0033] Furthermore, in step S3, a model is established to analyze the relationship between the required power and the gas mass flow rate of the positive and negative electrodes of the fuel cell, and the flow rates of the two electrodes are precisely controlled through a control algorithm.

[0034] Further, S31, the execution module establishes an output power model of the fuel cell;

[0035] In this power generation system, the number of fuel cells is 1000, so the function expression of the output current and the output power of the fuel cells of this power generation system is approximately:

[0036]

[0037] Where P N is the required power predicted by the deep neural network in step S2, I N is the current value corresponding to the required power;

[0038] Through the functional relationship between the oxygen mass flow rate and current required by the fuel cell cathode and the air mass flow rate input to the cathode by the air compressor in the power generation system, it can be obtained that the power generation system at power P N When the mass flow rate of air input to the air compressor is Q a,N (kg / s) is:
