As a renewable energy source, ocean current energy has the advantages of abundant resources, strong predictability, and low environmental impact, and has gradually become a hot spot in the energy field. However, due to their remote geographical location and weak infrastructure, conventional water resources and energy supply are extremely difficult in remote areas and islands with "three noes" (no water, no electricity, and no fuel), which seriously affects the local quality of life and economic development.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new system that uses renewable energy for energy and fresh water supply. Existing ocean current energy technology mainly focuses on power generation, but in practical applications it still faces problems such as low energy utilization efficiency and poor equipment reliability.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a freshwater-hydrogen integrated supply system based on ocean current energy.

When inlet 1 of the distributor is connected to the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element, it is a left-hand movement mode. When inlet 2 of the distributor is connected to the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element, it is a right-hand movement mode. When the two ends of the piston rod contact proximity switch 1 and proximity switch 2 respectively, the solenoid valve at the concentrated brine outlet will be triggered to switch the inlet of the distributor and change the movement mode. When the solenoid valve at the concentrated brine outlet is switched to the left movement mode, the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element is connected to the inlet one of the distributor, and the concentrated brine in the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element flows into the cavity with the piston rod of the booster cylinder one through the inlet one of the distributor, pushing the piston rod to move to the left, and the liquid in the cavity without the piston rod of the booster cylinder one flows into the reverse osmosis element.

[0018] 3. A method for producing hydrogen by desalination of seawater and electrolysis of water in a freshwater-hydrogen integrated supply system based on ocean current energy, comprising the following steps:

[0019] The impeller drives the seawater pump of the direct-drive transmission system to press the seawater into the seawater desalination system for desalination; the impeller drives the direct-drive transmission system to generate electricity and transmit the electricity to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system for hydrogen preparation; the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system exchange resources through an exchange system.

[0020] Seawater desalination method: the speed encoder controls the speed of the speed increaser, thereby controlling the amount of seawater pumped by the seawater pump; the electromagnetic clutch controls whether the seawater pump works, thereby controlling whether the seawater desalination system works.

[0021] Hydrogen production method by electrolysis of water: PEM electrolyzer produces hydrogen through the coordinated power supply of batteries and power conversion equipment.

[0022] The desalination method is specifically as follows: the flow of seawater drives the rotation of the impeller, and the rotation of the impeller drives the operation of the seawater pump through the generator, the speed increaser, the speed encoder and the electromagnetic clutch in turn, and the seawater pump presses the seawater into the flushing pump for flushing, and the flushed seawater is transported to the energy recovery device, and the seawater passing through the energy recovery device is further transported to the reverse osmosis element for osmosis and washing to produce fresh water. In the working state, when the speed increaser is controlled by the speed encoder to increase the speed of the transmission shaft, the speed of the transmission shaft of the seawater pump increases, the extracted seawater increases, the seawater transported to the flushing pump increases, and then the fresh water osmosis and washing increases through the energy recovery device and the reverse osmosis unit in turn. When the speed increaser is controlled by the speed encoder to reduce the speed of the transmission shaft, the speed of the transmission shaft of the seawater pump decreases, the extracted seawater decreases, the seawater transported to the flushing pump decreases, and then the fresh water osmosis and washing decreases through the energy recovery device and the reverse osmosis unit in turn. When fresh water needs to be prepared, by switching the electromagnetic clutch to the working state, the rotation of the impeller drives the rotation of the seawater pump, and then fresh water is prepared through the seawater desalination system. When fresh water preparation is not needed, the electromagnetic clutch is switched to a non-working state, and the rotation of the impeller cannot drive the seawater pump, that is, the seawater desalination system stops preparing fresh water.

[0023] The method for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water is specifically as follows: the flow of seawater drives the rotation of the impeller, and the rotation of the impeller drives the transmission shaft of the generator to rotate to generate electricity, and the generator transmits the electricity to the battery and the power conversion device; when the power generated by the direct-drive transmission system driven by seawater is sufficient, a part of the power is transmitted to the battery for storage, and the other part of the power is transmitted to the power conversion device, and the battery does not transmit power to the power conversion device at this time; when the seawater flow rate decreases and the power generated by the direct-drive transmission system is insufficient, all the generated power is transmitted to the power conversion device, and the power in the battery is transmitted to the power conversion device to maintain the operation of the hydrogen production system by electrolysis of water; when the direction of seawater changes and the direct-drive transmission system does not generate power, the power in the battery is transmitted to the power conversion device to maintain the operation of the hydrogen production system by electrolysis of water.

[0024] The power conversion equipment converts AC power into DC power and transmits it to the PEM electrolyzer. The fresh water prepared by the seawater desalination system is deionized and used as the raw water of the PEM electrolyzer. The PEM electrolyzer electrolyzes the deionized fresh water to prepare hydrogen. The prepared hydrogen is transported to the gas-water separator through the hydrogen transmitter. The hydrogen after gas and water separation is transported to the hydrogen dryer. After drying, the hydrogen passes through the hydrogen flowmeter and purity analyzer in turn and is finally stored in the hydrogen tank.

[0025] The resource exchange between the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system is carried out through the exchange system as follows: the seawater desalination system transports the prepared fresh water to the fresh water deionization tank of the exchange system for deionization treatment, and the deionized fresh water is transported to the PEM electrolyzer of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system for hydrogen preparation; the hydrogen prepared by the water electrolysis hydrogen production system is transmitted to the hydrogen processing station of the exchange system for processing and conversion into electrical energy, and the converted electrical energy is transported to the accumulator of the energy recovery device for use by the seawater desalination system.

[0026] The innovation of the present invention lies in that the energy recovery device designed for the seawater desalination system recovers energy from the high-pressure concentrated brine discharged during the seawater desalination process, thereby significantly reducing the specific energy consumption of fresh water production, bringing higher energy recovery efficiency and more energy-saving and environmentally friendly benefits than traditional reverse osmosis systems.

[0027] The innovation of the present invention lies in the collaborative processing method of exchanging resources between the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system through an exchange system, which brings the beneficial effects of efficient power supply to the operation of the seawater desalination system and high-purity fresh water supply to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system, thereby realizing the advantage of efficient utilization of resources.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following outstanding and beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. The present invention adopts a direct-drive ocean current energy unit transmission system design, which directly drives the generator and seawater pump through mechanical transmission, reducing the energy conversion loss in the traditional transmission system. This design improves the energy utilization efficiency of ocean current energy. Compared with traditional electric drive or hydraulic drive systems, energy loss is significantly reduced, and the overall energy efficiency of the system is higher. At the same time, the direct-drive ocean current energy unit transmission system does not use components such as hydraulic motors and electric motors, making the direct-drive ocean current energy unit transmission system compact in structure, improved in reliability, and effectively reducing procurement and maintenance costs.

[0030] 2. The present invention integrates the three functions of ocean current energy power generation, seawater desalination and water electrolysis to produce hydrogen, providing a comprehensive solution for electricity, fresh water and hydrogen. Compared with the existing single-function ocean current energy utilization system, the present invention can simultaneously meet the multiple resource needs of remote islands and offshore platforms, improving the practicality and economic benefits of the system.

[0031] 3. The energy recovery device designed by the present invention recovers energy from the high-pressure concentrated brine discharged during the desalination process, significantly reducing the specific energy consumption of fresh water production. Compared with the traditional reverse osmosis system, the energy recovery efficiency of the present invention is higher, making the fresh water production process more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0032] 4. The battery of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system of the present invention serves as an energy storage device to store excess electrical energy during periods of high seawater flow rate or high power generation. When the seawater flow rate decreases or changes direction, resulting in insufficient power generation output, the battery system can quickly release the stored electrical energy to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system. This electrical energy compensation mechanism ensures that the electrolyzer always has sufficient electrical energy supply during the water electrolysis process to maintain its stable operation.

[0033] 5. The present invention adopts the collaborative processing of resource exchange between the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system through the exchange system, which brings the beneficial effects of efficient power supply for the operation of the seawater desalination system and high-purity fresh water supply for the water electrolysis hydrogen production system, and realizes the advantage of efficient utilization of resources.

[0046] The desalination system comprises a flushing pump 7, a pressure gauge 8, a flow meter 9, an energy recovery device 11, a reverse osmosis element 12, an accumulator 18 and four solenoid valves 10; the flushing pump 7 is arranged below the energy recovery device 11, and is used to remove particles, microorganisms and sludge in seawater to meet the requirements of the reverse osmosis element 12 for the inlet water quality; the reverse osmosis element 12 is arranged above the energy recovery device 11; the pressure gauge 8 and the flow meter 9 are arranged on both sides of the energy recovery device 11, and are used to monitor the pressure and flow of seawater in the energy recovery device 11, respectively; the four solenoid valves 10 are arranged at the fresh water outlet and the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12, and the osmotic outlet and the energy recovery outlet of the flushing pump 7, respectively; the solenoid valve 10 is used to control The switching states of the fresh water outlet and concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 and the osmotic outlet and energy recovery outlet of the flushing pump 7; the inlet of the flushing pump 7 is connected to the outlet of the seawater pump 6 of the direct drive transmission system; the outlet of the flushing pump 7 is respectively connected to the inlet of the reverse osmosis element 12, the energy recovery device 11 and the inlet of the flow meter 9; the outlet of the flow meter 9 is connected to the inlet of the pressure gauge 8; the other end of the pressure gauge 8 is sealed; the fresh water outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 is respectively connected to the exchange system and the water reservoir; the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 is respectively connected to the energy recovery device 11 and the wastewater tank; the fresh water in the water reservoir is used for domestic water, and the wastewater in the wastewater tank is subjected to the next step of wastewater treatment; the energy recovery device 11 is also connected to the accumulator 18.

[0047] The energy recovery device 11 includes a boost cylinder 13, a boost cylinder 14, a piston rod 15, a proximity switch 16 and a proximity switch 2 17; one end of the boost cylinder 13 is connected to one end of the boost cylinder 14, and a distributor is arranged in the middle of the connection position. The cavity of the boost cylinder 13 and the cavity of the boost cylinder 14 are connected through the piston rod 15. The other end of the boost cylinder 13 is respectively connected to the reverse osmosis element 12 and the flushing pump 7, and the other end of the boost cylinder 14 is respectively connected to the reverse osmosis element 12 and the flushing pump 7. The proximity switch One 16 is arranged at the other end of the boosting cylinder one 13, and the proximity switch two 17 is arranged at the other end of the boosting cylinder two 14.

[0048] The reverse osmosis element 12 is used to intercept solutes and produce fresh water; the safe operating window of the reverse osmosis element 12 is jointly limited by the maximum allowable water supply pressure, maximum water supply flow, maximum recovery rate and maximum allowable water production concentration of the membrane of the reverse osmosis element 12, and is specifically set according to the material of the reverse osmosis element 12, water quality conditions, etc.

[0049] Maximum allowable feed water pressure, which is the highest water inlet pressure that the reverse osmosis element 12 can withstand. Exceeding this pressure may cause physical damage or over-compression of the membrane, affecting the normal operation and life of the membrane. The operating pressure of the reverse osmosis system should be controlled below this upper limit to ensure the structural integrity and stable performance of the membrane.

A flow rate lower than this may cause scaling and contamination on the membrane surface, and even cause a decrease in the operating efficiency of the seawater desalination system. Maintaining sufficient water flow can prevent salt and other impurities from accumulating on the membrane surface, ensuring the permeability of the membrane and the fresh water output.

[0051] Maximum recovery rate, which is the ratio of fresh water production to influent volume in the reverse osmosis system. Too high a recovery rate may lead to excessive concentration of the concentrated solution, thereby increasing the concentration polarization phenomenon on the membrane surface, affecting the membrane's permeability and fresh water quality. Therefore, the recovery rate needs to be within an appropriate range to maximize fresh water production while avoiding damage to the membrane.

[0052] Maximum allowable water concentration, which is the maximum concentration limit of dissolved substances in the fresh water produced by the reverse osmosis system. The water concentration must be controlled within the drinking water standard or other specific application requirements to ensure the quality and safety of the water. By monitoring and adjusting the water concentration, it can be ensured that the water quality of the reverse osmosis system meets the requirements.

[0053] By strictly controlling the operating conditions of the reverse osmosis element 12 within the above-mentioned safe operating window, the service life of the membrane can be effectively extended, the operating efficiency and water quality of the seawater desalination system can be improved, and maintenance and operating costs can be reduced. The monitoring and control devices in the seawater desalination system will monitor these parameters in real time and make adjustments based on the actual operating conditions to ensure that the seawater desalination system operates in the best condition.

[0056] The control system mainly includes three types of controls:

[0057] (1) PEM electrolyzer dynamic model building and parameter identification

[0058] Since ocean current energy has significant volatility and intermittency, an electrolytic cell model based on the Hammerstein model structure is established, which mainly includes static part modeling and identification and dynamic part modeling and identification.

[0059] (2) Multi-load operation mode control for intermittent power generation

[0060] In order to avoid frequent switching among the five operating modes (standby, MPPT control, constant speed control, shutdown, and battery supply), hysteresis control is introduced in the emergency judgment of the control system mode switching, so that each component of the system can operate efficiently within the operating power range, realizing the organic combination of the power capture characteristics of ocean current energy and the power input requirements of the two loads.

[0061] (3) Multi-load operation mode control principle

[0062] Its essence is to use power feedback control method to achieve maximum energy capture technology.

[0063] The energy recovery method of the fresh water-hydrogen integrated supply system based on ocean current energy of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0064] The solenoid valve 10 at the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 controls the inlet of the distributor of the energy recovery device 11 to connect with the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12. When the inlet 1 of the distributor is connected to the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12, it is in the left-hand movement mode. When the inlet 2 of the distributor is connected to the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12, it is in the right-hand movement mode. When the two ends of the piston rod 15 contact the proximity switch 1 16 and the proximity switch 2 17 respectively, the solenoid valve 10 at the concentrated brine outlet will be triggered to switch the inlet of the distributor and change the movement mode. When the solenoid valve 10 at the reverse osmosis element 12 is switched to the left movement mode, the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 is connected to the inlet 1 of the distributor, and the concentrated brine in the concentrated brine outlet of the reverse osmosis element 12 flows into the cavity with the piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 13 through the inlet 1 of the distributor, pushing the piston rod 15 to move leftward, and the liquid in the cavity without the piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 13 flows into the reverse osmosis element 12. At this time, the solenoid valve 10 at the energy recovery outlet of the flushing pump 7 controls the seawater treated by the flushing pump 7 to flow into the cavity without the piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 2 14, further pushing the piston rod 15 to move leftward. The liquid in the cavity with piston rod 15 of booster cylinder 2 14 is discharged as waste concentrated brine. When piston rod 15 moves to the left until it contacts proximity switch 16, solenoid valve 10 at the concentrated brine outlet switches to right working mode. When solenoid valve 10 at the concentrated brine outlet switches to right movement, the concentrated brine outlet of reverse osmosis element 12 is connected to inlet 2 of distributor, and concentrated brine in the concentrated brine outlet of reverse osmosis element 12 flows into the cavity with piston rod 15 of booster cylinder 2 14 through inlet 2 of distributor, pushing piston rod 15 to move to the right. At this time, the energy recovery outlet of flushing pump 7 The solenoid valve 10 controls the seawater treated by the flushing pump 7 to flow into the cavity without piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 1 13, further pushing the piston rod 15 to move to the right, and the liquid in the cavity without piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 2 14 flows into the reverse osmosis element 12, and the liquid in the cavity with piston rod 15 of the boosting cylinder 1 13 is discharged as waste concentrated brine. When the piston rod 15 moves to the right until it contacts the proximity switch 2 17, the solenoid valve 10 at the concentrated brine outlet switches to the left working mode; the energy generated by the movement of the boosting cylinder 1 and the boosting cylinder 2 14 is transmitted to the accumulator 18 for storage.

[0065] This process realizes the alternating pressurization of the boost cylinders on both sides and the discharge of waste water, so that the energy recovery device 11 can operate continuously and efficiently.

[0066] The method for producing hydrogen by desalination of seawater and electrolysis of water in the fresh water-hydrogen integrated supply system based on ocean current energy of the present invention is as follows:

[0067] The impeller 1 drives the seawater pump 6 of the direct-drive transmission system to press the seawater into the seawater desalination system for desalination; the impeller 1 drives the direct-drive transmission system to generate electricity and transmits the electricity to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system for hydrogen preparation; the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system exchange resources through the exchange system.

[0068] Seawater desalination method: the speed encoder 4 controls the speed of the speed increaser 3, thereby controlling the amount of seawater pumped by the seawater pump 6; the electromagnetic clutch 5 controls whether the seawater pump 6 works, thereby controlling whether the seawater desalination system works.

[0069] Hydrogen production method by electrolysis of water: PEM electrolyzer produces hydrogen through the coordinated power supply of batteries and power conversion equipment.

[0070] The seawater desalination method is specifically as follows: the flow of seawater drives the rotation of the impeller 1, and the rotation of the impeller 1 drives the operation of the seawater pump 6 through the generator 2, the speed increaser 3, the speed encoder 4 and the electromagnetic clutch 5 in turn, and the seawater pump 6 presses the seawater into the flushing pump 7 for flushing, and the flushed seawater is transported to the energy recovery device 11, and the seawater passing through the energy recovery device 11 is further transported to the reverse osmosis element 12 for osmosis and washing to produce fresh water; in the working state, when the speed increaser 3 is controlled by the speed encoder 4 to increase the speed of the transmission shaft, the speed of the transmission shaft of the seawater pump 6 increases, the extracted seawater increases, and the seawater transported to the flushing pump 7 increases, and then passes through the energy recovery device 11 and the reverse osmosis element 12 in turn. The fresh water produced by osmosis cleaning increases; when the speed encoder 4 is used to control the speed increaser 3 to reduce the speed of the transmission shaft, the speed of the transmission shaft of the seawater pump 6 decreases, the extracted seawater decreases, and the seawater transported to the flushing pump 7 decreases, and then passes through the energy recovery device 11 and the reverse osmosis unit in sequence, and the fresh water produced by osmosis cleaning decreases; when fresh water needs to be prepared, the electromagnetic clutch 5 is switched to the working state, and the rotation of the impeller 1 drives the rotation of the seawater pump 6, and then the seawater desalination system is used to prepare fresh water; when fresh water does not need to be prepared, the electromagnetic clutch 5 is switched to the non-working state, and the rotation of the impeller 1 cannot drive the seawater pump 6, that is, the seawater desalination system stops preparing fresh water.

[0071] The specific method of producing hydrogen by electrolysis of water is as follows:

[0072] The flow of seawater drives the rotation of the impeller 1, and the rotation of the impeller 1 drives the transmission shaft of the generator 2 to rotate to generate electricity, and the generator 2 transmits electricity to the battery and the power conversion device; when the power generated by the direct-drive transmission system driven by seawater is sufficient, part of the power is transmitted to the battery for storage, and the other part of the power is transmitted to the power conversion device, and the battery does not transmit power to the power conversion device at this time; when the seawater flow rate decreases and the power generated by the direct-drive transmission system is insufficient, all the generated power is transmitted to the power conversion device, and the power in the battery transmits power to the power conversion device to maintain the operation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system; when the direction of seawater changes and the direct-drive transmission system does not generate power, the power in the battery transmits power to the power conversion device to maintain the operation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system;

[0073] The power conversion equipment converts AC power into DC power and transmits it to the PEM electrolyzer. The fresh water prepared by the seawater desalination system is deionized and used as the raw water of the PEM electrolyzer. The PEM electrolyzer electrolyzes the deionized fresh water to prepare hydrogen. The prepared hydrogen is transported to the gas-water separator through the hydrogen transmitter. The hydrogen after gas and water separation is transported to the hydrogen dryer. After drying, the hydrogen passes through the hydrogen flowmeter and purity analyzer in turn and is finally stored in the hydrogen tank.

[0074] The resource exchange between the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system is carried out through the exchange system as follows: the seawater desalination system transports the prepared fresh water to the fresh water deionization tank of the exchange system for deionization treatment, and the deionized fresh water is transported to the PEM electrolyzer of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system for hydrogen preparation; the hydrogen prepared by the water electrolysis hydrogen production system is transmitted to the hydrogen processing station of the exchange system for processing and conversion into electrical energy, and the converted electrical energy is transported to the accumulator 18 of the energy recovery device 11 for use by the seawater desalination system.

[0075] Since the speed and direction of the ocean current fluctuate due to natural factors, these fluctuations may cause the output power of the ocean current energy power generation system to be unstable, affecting the normal operation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system. In order to solve this problem, the battery system is used as an energy storage device to store the excess electric energy of the ocean current energy power generation system during high flow rate or high power generation period. When the ocean current flow rate decreases or the direction changes, resulting in insufficient power generation output, the battery system can quickly release the stored electric energy and provide it to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system. This electric energy compensation mechanism ensures that the electrolyzer always has sufficient electric energy supply during the water electrolysis process to maintain its stable operation. The design of the battery system takes into account the power demand of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system and the fluctuation characteristics of ocean current energy, and has the ability of rapid response and efficient energy storage. Through the control system, the battery can quickly switch to discharge mode when needed, or switch to charging mode when there is excess electric energy, thereby realizing effective management and deployment of energy. This energy management strategy not only improves the operating efficiency and stability of the water electrolysis hydrogen production system, but also avoids the system shutdown or inefficiency caused by unstable ocean current energy.

[0076] The innovation of the present invention lies in that the energy recovery device designed for the seawater desalination system recovers energy from the high-pressure concentrated brine discharged during the seawater desalination process, thereby significantly reducing the specific energy consumption of fresh water production, bringing higher energy recovery efficiency and more energy-saving and environmentally friendly benefits than traditional reverse osmosis systems.

[0077] The innovation of the present invention lies in the collaborative processing method of exchanging resources between the seawater desalination system and the water electrolysis hydrogen production system through an exchange system, which brings the beneficial effects of efficient power supply to the operation of the seawater desalination system and high-purity fresh water supply to the water electrolysis hydrogen production system, thereby realizing the advantage of efficient utilization of resources.

[0078] The entire system is installed on an offshore floating platform and is suitable for comprehensive energy supply in remote islands and deep sea areas.

[0079] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
