Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of renewable energy control, and in particular, relates to a method and system for rotating scheduling of large-scale electrolyzer clusters to support interactive regulation of power grids. Background Art

[0002] Renewable energy water electrolysis hydrogen production technology based on wind and solar power generation converts and stores fluctuating clean electricity into high-quality hydrogen energy. Water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment includes alkaline electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. The control of the renewable energy coupled hydrogen production system is the energy management and regulation between each module and the electrolyzer. In the face of wind farms that can reach hundreds of megawatts, multiple electrolyzers must be combined to form an electrolyzer cluster to meet the consumption demand. Ignoring the coordinated control between the individual units within the electrolyzer cluster will lead to problems such as too many electrolyzer starts and stops or uneven continuous operation time in an unhealthy state, which directly affects the service life of the electrolyzer.

[0003] In the prior art, the electrolytic cell rotation scheduling method intelligently adjusts the working status of multiple electrolytic cells, achieves the balance of working time of each electrolytic cell, improves the operating efficiency and service life of the electrolytic cell, reduces operating costs, matches the operation of the electrolytic cell with the supply of renewable energy, reduces energy waste, improves the overall energy utilization efficiency, enables the electrolytic cell array to better adapt to the randomness and volatility of renewable energy, and enhances the stability and security of the power grid. However, in the large-scale electrolytic cell cluster rotation scheduling, although the alkaline electrolytic cell has certain advantages, it is poor in rapid startup and adaptability to variable loads, and cannot respond quickly to the volatility of renewable energy. When operating at low current density, the alkaline electrolytic cell will bring safety hazards due to the accumulation of gas impurities, limiting its dynamic response capability under low load conditions. Although the existing rotation method averages the working time of different electrolyzer units, it handles the characteristics of the electrolyzer in a rough manner, divides the working conditions simply, and does not adequately consider the constraints of the electrolyzer's adjustment characteristics, start-stop times, hydrogen production safety, etc. It fails to consider the complex electrochemical reaction dynamics inside the electrolyzer and the impact of external environmental changes on electrolysis efficiency, limiting the optimization of electrolyzer operation. During the actual rotation process, the real-time performance status of different electrolyzers varies, and the performance difference becomes more obvious as the operating time accumulates. The rule-based switching method lacks the ability to dynamically adapt to the real-time performance status of the electrolyzer, cannot accurately identify and respond to changes in electrolyzer performance, and cannot achieve balanced management of the electrolyzer's health status. In addition, it is unable to fully consider the complex dynamic behavior of the electrolyzer under different operating conditions, including changes in electrochemical performance, material aging, and the impact of the operating environment, limiting the overall performance and life optimization of the electrolyzer array.

[0056] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of the large-scale electrolytic cell cluster rotation scheduling method proposed in the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only embodiments of a part of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the spirit of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0058] The water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment includes alkaline electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers; the start-stop characteristics of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers: the start-up speed of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers is very fast, and they can reach full load operation from cold state within a few minutes. This fast start-up capability makes proton exchange membrane electrolyzers very suitable for combining with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy, because the output of these energy sources is intermittent and unstable. In addition, the start-up and shutdown process of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers has little effect on hydrogen production efficiency, and can maintain high efficiency even in the case of frequent start-up and shutdown. Start-stop characteristics of alkaline electrolyzers: During the startup process of alkaline electrolyzers, since the initial temperature is lower than the minimum hydrogen production temperature requirement, a large amount of power is required to heat the electrolyte to reach a suitable hydrogen production temperature, resulting in a long initial startup time for alkaline electrolyzers. As the temperature of the electrolyzer increases and meets the minimum hydrogen generation conditions, the required power is converted into insulation power to maintain the operation of the electrolyzer. In addition, the electrolyzer can quickly reduce the power to zero when it is shut down, and has the ability to serve as an interruptible load. This feature gives the electrolyzer a certain degree of flexibility in dealing with fluctuations in renewable energy, but it also exposes its challenges in rapid response and energy efficiency. Alkaline electrolyzer insulation characteristics: When the electrolyzer array stops operating, the environmental control system can maintain the temperature of the electrolyzer stable and prevent the temperature from dropping within a specific time period. This function ensures that the electrolyzer can quickly resume operation after a limited downtime period without consuming energy for preheating again, thereby improving the operating efficiency and response speed of the electrolyzer. Alkaline electrolyzer regulation characteristics: The electrolyzer can achieve rapid power regulation in a wide range of milliseconds from high temperature and high power points to low temperature and low power points, while it takes minutes to adjust from low temperature and low power points to high temperature and high power points. Alkaline electrolyzer overload characteristics: When the electrolyzer is working, its power can exceed the rated power for a short time, reaching 110%~130% of the rated power. This feature can be used to reduce the configuration capacity of the electrolyzer.

[0059] Hydrogen safe operating power: When the electrolyzer is operating at low power, due to the characteristics of the internal materials of the electrolyzer, the operating power of the electrolyzer cannot be lower than a certain limit, otherwise there is a risk of hydrogen and oxygen cross-linking exceeding the explosion limit, and the limit is generally 20%~25% of the rated power of the electrolyzer. At the same time, since the electrolyzer device is an electrical conversion device, its reaction has a certain buffer time, so in practice the electrolyzer can be operated below the hydrogen safety power limit for a short time, and the duration varies from a few minutes depending on the capacity of the electrolyzer.

[0060] According to the analysis of the electrolytic cell operation characteristics, the working status of the electrolytic cell is classified according to the fluctuating power of the electrolytic cell, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: dangerous operating state, optimal operating state, safe operating state, and overload operating state; among them, the electrolyzer is in the optimal operating state when the fluctuating power of the electrolyzer reaches the optimal power range, and the lower limit of the optimal power range is the rated power 20% of the optimal power range, the upper limit is the rated power 35%; when the fluctuating power of the electrolytic cell reaches the rated power range, the electrolytic cell is in a safe operating state, and the lower limit of the rated power range is the rated power 35% of the rated power range, the upper limit of the rated power range is the rated power When the fluctuating power of the electrolytic cell reaches the overload power range, the electrolytic cell is in an overload operation state. The lower limit of the overload power range is the rated power. , the upper limit of the overload power range is the rated power 120%; when the fluctuating power of the electrolyzer is less than the rated power 20% or more than the rated power The electrolyzer is in a dangerous operating state.

[0061] The present invention proposes a large-scale electrolytic cell cluster rotation scheduling method, the electrolytic cell cluster includes The same alkaline electrolyzer and The same proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0062] Step 1, obtain the output power of the new energy unit and the actual operating power of the electrolyzer cluster; when the actual operating power of the electrolyzer cluster is less than the output power of the new energy unit, the electrolyzer cluster is determined to be overloaded; when the actual operating power of the electrolyzer cluster is greater than the output power of the new energy unit, the electrolyzer cluster is determined to be not overloaded; when the electrolyzer cluster is not overloaded and all proton exchange membrane electrolyzers are operating at rated power, if the actual operating power of each alkaline electrolyzer is less than the optimal power, the electrolyzer cluster is determined to be in a non-overloaded low-power condition; if the actual operating power of each alkaline electrolyzer is greater than the optimal power but less than the rated power, the electrolyzer cluster is determined to be in a non-overloaded high-power condition.

[0063] Specifically, step 1 includes:

[0064] Step 1.1, obtain the output power of the new energy unit and power fluctuation value , get the rated power of the alkaline electrolyzer , Actual operating power , optimal power and overload power, and obtain the rated power of the proton exchange membrane electrolyzer , Actual operating power , optimum power and overload power;

[0065] In the embodiment, the optimum power of the alkaline electrolyzer and the proton exchange membrane electrolyzer are both 35% of the rated power, and the overload power is both 120% of the rated power.

[0066] Step 1.2: The electrolyzer cluster is determined to be overloaded when the following relationship is satisfied:

[0067] ,

[0068] The electrolyzer cluster is determined to be not overloaded when the following relationship is met:

[0069] ,

[0070] When the electrolyzer cluster is not overloaded, according to the start-stop characteristics of the proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, the total rated power of all proton exchange membrane electrolyzers Power fluctuation value of new energy units If the actual operating power of each alkaline electrolyzer satisfies the following relationship:

[0071] ,

[0072] Step 1.3, the electrolytic cell cluster is not overloaded. If the actual operating power of each alkaline electrolytic cell is less than the optimal power, it is determined that the electrolytic cell cluster is in a non-overloaded low-power condition, satisfying the following relationship:

[0073] ,

[0074] Step 1.4: The electrolytic cell cluster is not overloaded. If the actual operating power of each alkaline electrolytic cell is greater than the optimal power but less than the rated power, the electrolytic cell cluster is determined to be in a non-overloaded high-power condition, satisfying the following relationship:

[0075] ,

[0076] Step 2: at the initial moment of the rotation and the end moment of each rotation, the alkaline electrolytic cells are sorted in descending order according to the health status monitoring values ​​of the alkaline electrolytic cells.

[0077] Among them, the health status monitoring value of the alkaline electrolytic cell satisfies the following relationship:

[0078] ,

[0079] In the formula, For the The electrolytic cell Health status monitoring value at all times, For the The electrolytic cell The actual voltage at the moment, For the The actual voltage of an electrolytic cell at the initial moment, in the embodiment, is taken as the rated voltage, is the attenuation ratio limiting coefficient of the electrolytic cell;

[0080] The sequence numbers of the alkaline electrolytic cells are 1, 2, ..., ,……, , where the health status monitoring value of the alkaline electrolyzer with serial number 1 is the largest, and the serial number is The health status monitoring value of the alkaline electrolyzer is the smallest;

[0081] At the initial moment of electrolyzer cluster rotation scheduling , according to the alkaline electrolytic cell at the initial time The health status monitoring values ​​of the alkaline electrolyzers are sorted from large to small; in the first rotation, when the alkaline electrolyzers run for a long time Reach the set first shift duration At the end of the first shift, the alkaline electrolyzer The alkaline electrolyzers are sorted in descending order of the health status monitoring values ​​of During the next shift, when the alkaline electrolyzer runs for a long time Reach the set Length of shift When the alkaline electrolytic cell is End time of next shift The health status monitoring values ​​of the alkaline electrolyzers are sorted from large to small.

[0082] In the above method, each electrolytic stack operates at startup, optimal, rated, overload or fluctuating power in different scenarios. Changes in operating conditions are more likely to cause performance degradation. In order to balance the operating status of the electrolytic stack, the health status of the electrolytic stack is monitored in real time during the rotation process. The electrolytic cells are renumbered according to their health status, and the performance is numbered from 1 to 1 from the best to the worst. After all the electrolytic cells have completed a round of rotation, they will continue to rotate according to new numbers, so that the electrolytic cells with poor performance can get more rest time, preventing the phenomenon of some electrolytic stacks being scrapped prematurely due to excessive differences between them.

[0083] According to each rotation The set duration threshold is determined by the average value of the health status monitoring values ​​of the alkaline electrolytic cells, so the set duration threshold in each rotation is different, so that the utilization rate of the alkaline electrolytic cell can be improved under the set rotation duration, while taking into account the overall health status of the alkaline electrolytic cell.

[0084] Step 3: When the electrolyzer cluster is overloaded, all proton exchange membrane electrolyzers are controlled to operate at rated power in the current rotation, and the 1st, 2nd, ..., k The alkaline electrolyzer is operated at overload power and the first k +1, k +2, ..., n An alkaline electrolyzer is operated at rated power;

[0085] When the electrolyzer cluster is in a non-overloaded high-power condition, in the current rotation, all proton exchange membrane electrolyzers are controlled to operate at rated power, and the 1st, 2nd, ..., k The alkaline electrolyzer is operated at rated power and the first k +1, k +2, ..., n Alkaline electrolyzers were shut down;

[0086] When the electrolyzer cluster is in a low-power condition without overload, in the current rotation, all proton exchange membrane electrolyzers are controlled to operate at rated power, and the 1st, 2nd, ..., k The alkaline electrolyzer is operated at optimal power and the first k +1, k +2, ..., n Alkaline electrolyzers were shut down.

Then, by utilizing the overload characteristics of the alkaline electrolytic cell, some electrolytic cells are operated at rated power and some electrolytic cells are operated at overload power to meet the output power of the new energy unit.
