Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of energy and power technology, and in particular to a control method and device for an electrolyzer cluster in a green electricity hydrogen production system. Background Art
[0002] "Green chemistry" is the trend of sustainable development of the chemical industry in the future. Use renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics to generate electricity, and then input the "green electricity" produced into the electrolyzer to produce "green hydrogen" through water electrolysis. As a clean energy carrier, hydrogen can not only replace traditional fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also be used as a chemical raw material to promote the low-carbon transformation of the entire industry.
[0003] However, the inherent intermittency and instability of wind and photovoltaic power generation pose challenges to the production of "green hydrogen". The output power of these renewable energy sources is greatly affected by natural factors. For example, changes in wind speed and light intensity can cause power generation to jump from zero to full load in a very short time, or drop rapidly. This high volatility requires that the "green hydrogen" production system, especially the electrolyzer, must have excellent adaptability and flexibility to quickly respond to changes in power supply and ensure the continuous and stable production of hydrogen. In order to overcome this problem, it is first necessary to improve the adaptability of the electrolyzer to changes in upstream power supply. Although the electrolyzer is designed with a certain degree of adjustment capability, its operating load range is often strictly limited for safety reasons. For example, the alkaline electrolyzer widely used in large-scale hydrogen production projects is usually limited to a minimum operating load of 20%-25% of its maximum capacity. This is because when the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen exceeds a certain threshold, a potentially explosive mixture may be formed, and the system must be stopped immediately to avoid danger.
[0004] In the related art, the maximum and minimum operating powers are set as hard constraints for the safe operation of the electrolyzer. Although this conservative operation strategy helps prevent accidents, it may cause unnecessary shutdown of running electrolyzers or startup of non-running electrolyzers. Especially under the production conditions of green power systems, frequent fluctuations in upstream wind and solar power output may cause frequent shutdowns and starts, which will not only lead to waste of resources and increase operating costs, but may also damage the performance of the electrolyzer itself and shorten the service life of the equipment.

[0082] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0083] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0084] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a control method for an electrolyzer cluster in a green electricity hydrogen production system in an embodiment of the present application, which may include the following steps:
[0085] Step S102, periodically obtaining wind and solar power output.
[0086] The wind and solar power output is greatly affected by natural factors and is unstable. The control method of the electrolyzer cluster will be different for different wind and solar power outputs. Therefore, the wind and solar power output can be obtained periodically, and the electrolyzer cluster can be controlled based on different wind and solar power outputs. That is, the control method of the electrolyzer cluster in the embodiment of the present application can be performed periodically.
[0087] Step S104: determine whether the wind and solar power output at the current time t is less than N(t-1)P min-soft .
[0088] Assume that the electrolytic cell cluster contains N0 electrolytic cells, N(t-1) represents the number of electrolytic cells that have been turned on in the electrolytic cell cluster at the previous moment t-1, and N(t-1) is less than or equal to N0. min-soft represents the soft constraint power lower limit. Therefore, N(t-1)P min-soft It can be used to determine whether the wind and solar power output at the current time t meets the power demand of the electrolyzer that has been turned on. If the wind and solar power output is less than N(t-1)P min-soft , indicating that the wind power output does not meet the soft constraint lower limit, execute step S106; if the wind power output is greater than or equal to N(t-1)Pmin-soft , indicating that the wind and solar power output meets the lower limit of the soft constraint, and step S114 is executed.
[0089] Step S106: determine whether the wind and solar power output at the current time t is less than N(t-1)P min-hard .
[0090] Furthermore, if the wind and solar power output is less than N(t-1)P min-hard , indicating that the wind power output does not meet the hard constraint lower limit, execute step S108; if the wind power output is greater than or equal to N(t-1)P min-hard , indicating that the wind and solar power output meets the hard constraint lower limit but does not meet the soft constraint lower limit, and step S110 is executed. min-hard represents the hard power limit, P min-hard <P min-soft .
[0091] Step S108, controlling the electrolyzer that was turned on at the previous moment according to the hard constraint power lower limit and the wind and solar power output.
[0092] When the wind and solar power output does not meet the hard constraint lower limit, it means that when allocating power according to the number of electrolyzers that were turned on at the previous moment, the wind and solar power output is small and does not meet the hard constraint lower limit. Therefore, some of the electrolyzers can be shut down and the wind and solar power output can be allocated to the remaining electrolyzers that are turned on.
[0093] Optionally, the number of electrolyzers to be turned on at the current moment can be determined based on the wind and solar power output and the hard constraint power lower limit. For example, the following formula can be used: Determine the number of electrolytic cells N(t) to be opened at the current moment, In this way, it can be ensured that each electrolytic cell to be turned on meets the hard constraint lower limit requirement, and the number of electrolytic cells turned on is kept at a maximum. Afterwards, the difference between the number of electrolytic cells turned on at the previous moment and the number of electrolytic cells to be turned on at the current moment is determined as the number of electrolytic cells to be shut down at the current moment, N. - ; Control the N in the electrolytic cell that was turned on at the previous moment - The electrolyzers are shut down, and the remaining electrolyzers are used as the electrolyzers that are currently turned on. The wind and solar power output is evenly distributed to the electrolyzers that are currently turned on, and each electrolyzer that is currently turned on is controlled to operate according to the corresponding power.
[0094] Step S110, for each electrolytic cell that has been turned on at the previous moment, calculate the electrolytic cell in P in the historical K cycles min-soft When running as follows, P min-soft The accumulated value of the difference from the operating power of the electrolytic cell is used to obtain the low power accumulated value.
[0095] When the wind and solar power output meets the hard constraint lower limit but does not meet the soft constraint lower limit, the electrolyzer can be allowed to exceed the soft constraint within a certain range instead of being immediately controlled to start and stop. In addition, the accumulated value of the power of the electrolyzer exceeding the soft constraint lower limit in the past period of time (historical K cycles) is recorded, that is, the accumulated value of the power of the electrolyzer in P min-soft When running as follows, P min-soft The accumulated value of the difference from the operating power of the electrolytic cell is the low power accumulated value.
[0096] Step S112, controlling the electrolyzer that was turned on at the previous moment according to the low power accumulated value, the wind and solar power output power and the soft constraint power lower limit.
[0097] The larger the low power cumulative value, the more serious the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the lower limit of the soft constraint; the smaller the low power cumulative value, the less serious the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the lower limit of the soft constraint. Power can be allocated to the electrolyzer according to the low power cumulative value corresponding to each electrolyzer. The larger the low power cumulative value, the higher the allocated power can be, so as to reduce the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the lower limit of the soft constraint.
[0098] In some embodiments, power allocation can be performed according to the ratio of the low power accumulation value corresponding to the opened electrolytic cell to the sum of the low power accumulation values corresponding to all the opened electrolytic cells. Assume that the low power accumulation value of the i-th opened electrolytic cell is The maximum power difference between a single electrolyzer and the soft constraint power lower limit is
[0099] if It means that assuming that the number of electrolyzers turned on at the current moment remains unchanged, the turned-on electrolyzers are operated according to the wind and solar power output, and the sum of the low-power accumulated values of all turned-on electrolyzers in the past period of time is still greater than the low-power accumulated value corresponding to the current moment, that is, there is still a margin that does not meet the lower limit of the soft constraint, then the start and stop status of the electrolyzers in the electrolyzer cluster is controlled to remain unchanged.
[0100] According to the following formula:
[0101] Determine the power P of the i-th activated electrolytic cell i (t), and controlling the electrolytic cell to operate according to the corresponding power;
[0102] in,
[0103] if If there is no margin that does not meet the lower limit of the soft constraint, the low power accumulated values corresponding to the electrolyzers that were turned on at the previous moment will be sorted from large to small and shut down in sequence until the lower limit is met. N(t) represents the number of electrolytic cells that are turned on in the electrolytic cell cluster at the current time t, P in (t) represents the wind and solar power output at the current time t. That is, first shut down the electrolyzer corresponding to the maximum low power cumulative value, reduce the number of electrolyzers that are turned on in the electrolyzer cluster at the current time t by 1, and calculate whether If the requirement is met, it means that only one electrolyzer needs to be shut down to meet the requirement. If the requirement is not met, the electrolyzer with the second highest cumulative low power value will be shut down. The number of electrolyzers that are turned on in the electrolyzer cluster at the current time t will be reduced by 2. Calculate whether the requirement is met. If the requirement is met, it means that only two electrolyzers need to be shut down to meet the requirement. If the requirement is not met, the electrolyzer with the third lowest cumulative power value will be shut down, and so on, until the requirement is met.
[0104] Similarly, the following formula can be used:
[0105] Determine the power P of the i-th activated electrolytic cell i (t), and control the electrolytic cell to operate at the corresponding power.
[0106] It should be noted that the above formula satisfies the law of energy conservation and can be expressed as follows:
[0107]
[0108] The above formula also satisfies the interval [t-KΔt, t+Δt], and the electrolytic cell is in P min-soft The power limit does not exceed It can be expressed by the formula as follows:
[0109]
[0110] Step S114: determine whether the wind and solar power output at the current time t is greater than N(t-1)P max-soft , P max-soft Indicates the soft power limit.
[0111] When the wind power output meets the lower limit of the soft constraint, it can be further determined whether the wind power output meets the upper limit of the soft constraint. max-soft , indicating that the wind power output meets the soft constraint upper limit, then execute step S116; if the wind power output is greater than N(t-1)P max-soft , indicating that the wind and solar power output does not meet the soft constraint upper limit, then step S118 is executed.
[0112] Step S116, controlling the start and stop states of the electrolytic cells in the electrolytic cell cluster to remain unchanged, and evenly distributing the wind and solar power output to the turned-on electrolytic cells.
[0113] Step S118, for each electrolytic cell that has been turned on at the previous moment, calculate the electrolytic cell in P in the historical K cycles max-soft When the above operation is performed, the operating power of the electrolyzer is max-soft The accumulated value of the difference is obtained to obtain the high power accumulated value.
[0114] When the wind and solar power output does not meet the soft constraint upper limit, regardless of whether the wind and solar power output meets the hard constraint upper limit, it means that the wind and solar power output is large, and one or more new electrolyzers can be opened, or power abandonment can be considered. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to distinguish between the cases where the wind and solar power output meets the hard constraint upper limit and the cases where it does not meet the hard constraint upper limit.
[0115] Similarly, when the wind and solar power output does not meet the soft constraint upper limit, the electrolyzer can be allowed to exceed the soft constraint within a certain range instead of being immediately controlled to start and stop. The accumulated value of the power of the electrolyzer exceeding the soft constraint upper limit in the past period of time (historical K cycles) can be recorded, that is, the electrolyzer in P max-soft When the above operation is performed, the operating power of the electrolyzer is max-soft The accumulated value of the difference between is the high power accumulated value. The high power accumulated value is used as a measurement indicator to allocate cluster power.
[0116] Step S120, controlling the electrolyzer cluster according to the high power accumulated value, the wind and solar power output and the soft constraint power upper limit.
[0117] The larger the high power cumulative value, the more serious the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the upper limit of the soft constraint; the smaller the high power cumulative value, the less serious the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the upper limit of the soft constraint. Power can be allocated to the electrolyzer according to the high power cumulative value corresponding to each electrolyzer. The larger the high power cumulative value, the smaller the allocated power can be, so as to reduce the degree to which the electrolyzer exceeds the upper limit of the soft constraint. In some embodiments, power allocation can be performed according to the ratio of the high power cumulative value corresponding to the turned-on electrolyzer to the sum of the high power cumulative values corresponding to all turned-on electrolyzers.
[0118] Assume that the high power accumulated value of the i-th activated electrolyzer is The maximum power difference corresponding to a single electrolyzer is
[0119] if It indicates that there is no margin that does not meet the upper limit of the soft constraint, a new electrolyzer is started, and the power of the newly started electrolyzer is set to Pstart; Pstart can be set to different values according to different electrolyzers.

[0126] The control method of the electrolyzer cluster in the green electricity hydrogen production system of the embodiment of the present application sets soft constraints and hard constraints in advance. When the operating power of the electrolyzer cannot meet the soft constraints, it will not be started or stopped immediately, but allowed to exceed the soft constraints within a certain range. At the same time, the cumulative value of the over-limit power of the electrolyzer in the past period of time is recorded, and the cumulative value of the over-limit power is used as a measurement indicator. The cluster power is allocated according to the cumulative value of the over-limit power of each electrolyzer. In this way, the upper and lower limits of the electrolyzer power in the electrolyzer cluster control can be effectively expanded, thereby effectively alleviating the problem of frequent start and stop of the electrolyzer when the upstream wind and solar power output fluctuates greatly in the green system. While ensuring the safe operation of the system, it effectively improves the stability of the system operation and the efficiency of green hydrogen production, and realizes flexible control of the electrolyzer cluster, which has strong practical value for the actual green electricity hydrogen production system.
