[0071] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0072] A multi-electrolyzer collaborative optimization control method adaptable to wide-range power fluctuations specifically includes the following steps:

[0073] (1) Objective function

[0074] The total objective function includes 6 sub-optimization objectives. The first sub-objective is to optimize the hydrogen production power tracking of the hydrogen production power supply, which is expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] In the formula: f1 is the first optimization sub-objective; P rec is the discarded power of the hydrogen production power supply, t is time; t k is the kth moment; T is the set of discrete moments; min is minimization.

[0077] The second sub-objective is to maximize the hydrogen production of the system, which is expressed as:

[0079] In the formula: f2 is the second optimization sub-objective; E is the set of electrolyzer numbers; Q el,iis the hydrogen production of the i-th electrolyzer; ΔT is the sampling time; max is to maximize.

[0080] In the operating state of the electrolyzer, the energy consumed during cold start and standby does not produce utilizable hydrogen. To minimize the energy consumed in these two states, the third sub-goal is expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] In the formula: f3 is the third optimization sub-goal; is the standby state of the i-th electrolyzer; is the cold start state of the i-th electrolyzer, P sb is the standby power of the electrolyzer; P cs is the cold start power of the electrolyzer.

[0083] To reduce the attenuation degree of each electrolyzer and improve the stability of the electrolyzer operation, minimizing the electrolyzer attenuation is taken as the fourth optimization sub-goal, which is expressed as:

[0084]

[0085] In the formula: f4 is the fourth optimization sub-goal; κ hst is the hot start attenuation weight coefficient; κ cst is the cold start attenuation weight coefficient; κ sdt is the shutdown attenuation weight coefficient; κ adj is the power regulation attenuation weight coefficient; △P el,i is the power change of the i-th electrolyzer; is the rated power of the i-th electrolyzer; is the hot start time of the i-th electrolyzer; is the cold start time of the i-th electrolyzer; is the shutdown time of the i-th electrolyzer.

[0086] The weight coefficients in the above optimization goals can be calculated through the voltage attenuation increment values caused by the electrolyzer in different operating states or during start-up and shutdown switching, which is expressed as:

[0087]

[0088] In the formula: is the hot start voltage attenuation increment; is the cold start voltage attenuation increment; is the shutdown voltage attenuation increment; is the power change voltage attenuation increment.

[0089] To ensure the utilization balance of each electrolyzer during long-term operation, the operation time and power adjustment amount of each electrolyzer are normalized and used as the 5th and 6th sub-optimization objectives respectively, expressed as:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula: f5 is the 5th optimization sub-objective; f6 is the 6th optimization sub-objective; is the production status of the i-th electrolyzer; M el,i is the total historical operation time of the i-th electrolyzer; V el,i is the total historical power change of the i-th electrolyzer; N el is the total number of electrolyzers.

[0092] The total objective function is the dynamic normalization weighting of the above 6 sub-optimization sub-objectives, expressed as:

[0093]

[0094] In the formula: G is the total optimization objective; α j is the weight coefficient of the j-th optimization sub-objective.

[0095] (2) Constraint model

[0096] All the power for system hydrogen production, standby and cold start is supplied by the hydrogen production power supply, then the power balance equation is expressed as:

[0097]

[0098] In the formula: P re is the renewable energy power; P bc is the battery energy storage charging power; P bd is the battery energy storage discharging power.

[0099] In power optimization, the amount of discarded power of the hydrogen production power supply at any time should be guaranteed to be less than its planned power value, expressed as:

[0100] 0 ≤ P rec (t k ) ≤ P re (t k ) (10)

[0101] To ensure the safe operation of the electrolyzer, the electrolyzer needs to meet the power limit constraint, expressed as:

[0102]

[0103] In the formula: P el,i,min is the minimum operating power of the i-th electrolyzer; P el,i,max is the maximum operating power of the i-th electrolyzer.

[0104] At any moment, the electrolyzer can only be in one operating state, which is expressed as:

[0105]

[0106] In the formula: is the shutdown state of the i-th electrolyzer.

[0107] The hot start moment, cold start moment, and shutdown moment of the electrolyzer can be represented by the switching of adjacent moments in the production, cold start, and standby states, as follows:

[0108]

[0109] The timing conversion logic of each operating state of the electrolyzer is represented by the conversion constraints of adjacent front and back moments of each state. It is expressed as

[0110]

[0111] In the formula: t k-1 is the (k - 1)-th moment; t k+1 is the (k + 1)-th moment.

[0112] In addition, within any rolling time domain of the electrolyzer, the time in the cold start state is not allowed to exceed the actual cold start time of the electrolyzer, which is expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] In the formula: T cs is the number of moments of the cold start time.

[0115] The electrical energy storage needs to satisfy the charge-discharge power and the constraint of non-simultaneous charge-discharge states, which is expressed as:

[0116] 0 ≤ P bc (t k ) ≤ P bat,max δ bc (t k ) (25)

[0117] 0 ≤ P bd (t k ) ≤ P bat,max δ bd (t k ) (26)

[0118] δ bc (t k ) + δ bd (t k ) ≤ 1 (27)

[0119] In the formula: P bat,max is the maximum charge-discharge power of the electrical energy storage; δbc is the charging state of the electrical energy storage; δ bd is the discharging state of the electrical energy storage.

[0120] The state of charge of the electrical energy storage needs to be guaranteed within a set range, expressed as:

[0121] SOC min ≤SOC(t k )≤SOC max (28)

[0122] In the formula: SOC is the state of charge of the electrical energy storage; SOC min is the minimum value of the state of charge of the electrical energy storage; SOC max is the maximum value of the state of charge of the electrical energy storage.

[0123] The constraint on the regulation margin of the state of charge of the electrical energy storage is expressed as:

[0124] SOC min +θ≤SOC(t end )≤SOC max -θ (29)

[0125] In the formula: θ is the margin of the state of charge of the electrical energy storage; t end is the last moment within the rolling time domain.

[0126] The update calculation of the state of charge of the electrical energy storage is expressed as:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula: η bc is the charging efficiency of the electrical energy storage; η bd is the discharging efficiency of the electrical energy storage; E bat is the rated capacity of the electrical energy storage.

[0129] The power supply types of the multi - electrolyzer hydrogen production system include but are not limited to wind power, photovoltaic power, hydropower, power grid, etc. At the same time, the system can selectively switch between off - grid and grid - connected operation modes according to the type of hydrogen production power source and the electrical structure. The electrolyzer type in the system can be either a single type of alkaline electrolyzer or proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, or a hydrogen production system with a mixture of alkaline electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. Electrical energy storage can be selectively configured in the system. The types of electrical energy storage include but are not limited to lithium batteries, supercapacitors, etc., and it is also possible to choose not to connect an electrical energy storage.

[0130] To verify the effectiveness and superiority of the method of the present invention, a wind power to hydrogen system is adopted in this part, and the specific implementation and analysis of the method are carried out through a typical daily example. In the example, the installed capacity of wind power is set to 25 MW. To enable the electrolytic hydrogen production subsystem to have the ability to fully absorb wind power, 5 electrolyzers with a capacity of 5 MW are configured equivalently, and the sampling time is set to 15 minutes. The system parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0131] Table 1

[0132]

[0133] It can be seen from Figure 2 and Figure 3 that on the one hand, the electrical energy storage suppresses the fluctuation of wind power, and the operating power of the electrolytic hydrogen production subsystem is more stable. When the wind power fluctuates at the start-stop power boundary of the electrolyzer, the electrical energy storage can provide short-term power and energy support, reducing the number of unit start-stop times. In the period from 05:00 to 13:00, the wind power does not reach the minimum operating power of the electrolyzer. At this time, the electrical energy storage realizes the full absorption of wind power through two ways: discharging to make the electrolyzer operate at the lowest power or charging. In addition, when the wind power is relatively stable, the electrical energy storage adjusts the electrolyzer power through charge and discharge to enable the electrolyzer to operate at a more optimal efficiency point.

[0134] The implementation mode of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
