[0047] The hydrogen production system is usually composed of a mixture of alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment or a single component. The electricity sources of the hydrogen production system include wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation and grid electricity.

[0048] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for distributing loads in a hydrogen production system. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for distributing loads in a hydrogen production system according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the load distribution method of the hydrogen production system includes:

[0049] Step S101: for any hydrogen production equipment, obtain the load power upper limit and load power lower limit of the hydrogen production equipment, and a function of hydrogen production power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency, and obtain the hydrogen production efficiency lower limit corresponding to the hydrogen production efficiency upper limit and load power lower limit based on the function.

[0050] According to the load test of the hydrogen production equipment, the upper and lower limits of the load power of the hydrogen production equipment, the hydrogen production efficiency and the hydrogen production power are obtained, and the characteristic curve of the hydrogen production power with respect to the hydrogen production efficiency is obtained.

[0051] Conduct operation load tests on all hydrogen production equipment to obtain the upper and lower load power limits for safe operation of each hydrogen production equipment. Conduct variable operating condition operation tests on all hydrogen production equipment to obtain the hydrogen production efficiency and power of the hydrogen production equipment. Based on the obtained hydrogen production efficiency and power, obtain the characteristic curve of hydrogen production power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method for obtaining a characteristic curve of hydrogen power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, according to the hydrogen production method and the specifications of the hydrogen production equipment, load upper limit and load lower limit tests are carried out to determine the upper and lower load limits for the safe operation of the hydrogen production equipment. Within the range of the upper and lower load limits, variable operating condition tests are carried out to obtain the characteristic curve of hydrogen production power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency.

[0053] In one embodiment, the hydrogen production system includes a plurality of alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment and a plurality of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and the load power lower limit of the safe operation of each hydrogen production equipment is obtained through hydrogen load testing. Optionally, the load power lower limit of each hydrogen production equipment includes P ALK1 Lower limit, P ALK2 Lower limit, ..., P ALKM Lower limit, P PEM1 Lower limit, P PEM2 Lower limit, ..., P PEMN Lower limit.

[0054] Based on the characteristic curve, fit the function of hydrogen production power on hydrogen production efficiency. The function satisfies the following configuration:

[0055] P i =f(η i ),

[0056] Among them, P i is the input power of hydrogen production equipment i, η i is the hydrogen production efficiency of hydrogen production equipment i, and f is the function mapping relationship.

[0057] According to the function of hydrogen production power on hydrogen production efficiency, determine the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency of hydrogen production equipment and the optimal hydrogen production power corresponding to the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency, as well as the lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency corresponding to the lower limit of load power of hydrogen production equipment. According to the determined upper limit and lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency, based on the preset efficiency change step, determine the hydrogen production power at different hydrogen production efficiencies to form a mapping relationship between hydrogen production efficiency and hydrogen production power. For example, the preset efficiency change step is 5%, the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency is η1, and the lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency is η2, then determine the hydrogen production power corresponding to each hydrogen production efficiency of 95% η1, 90% η1, ..., η2 to form a mapping relationship between hydrogen production efficiency and hydrogen production power.

[0058] In one embodiment, Figure 3 is a flow chart showing the formation of a mapping relationship between hydrogen production efficiency and hydrogen production power according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, based on the characteristic curve of hydrogen production power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency, and the function of hydrogen production power with respect to hydrogen production efficiency, the hydrogen production power corresponding to the highest hydrogen production efficiency and the hydrogen production efficiency corresponding to the lower limit of load power are determined according to the function, and on this basis, the hydrogen production power corresponding to different proportions of the highest hydrogen production efficiency and the corresponding range of hydrogen production power are determined.

[0059] Based on the test of the hydrogen production equipment, the lower limit of load power, hydrogen production efficiency and hydrogen production power are obtained, so as to obtain the characteristic curve of the hydrogen production equipment, which provides a foundation for the subsequent allocation based on the operating characteristics of the hydrogen production equipment.

[0060] Step S102: Divide all hydrogen production equipment into a number of solution libraries in a manner that the number of equipment decreases in sequence, and the minimum load power lower limits of the hydrogen production equipment in the several solution libraries increase in sequence.

[0061] All hydrogen production equipment are sorted from small to large according to the load power lower limit, and the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest load power lower limit is removed in turn, so that all hydrogen production equipment are divided into several solution libraries. The number of hydrogen production equipment in each solution library is different, and the minimum load power of the hydrogen production equipment in each solution library increases in turn.

[0062] In one embodiment, there are M alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment and N proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment in the hydrogen production system, and there are a total of M+N hydrogen production equipment. The M+N hydrogen production equipment form a first solution library. Remove the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest load power lower limit among the M+N hydrogen production equipment, and there are M+N-1 hydrogen production equipment remaining, and the M+N-1 hydrogen production equipment forms a second solution library. Remove the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest load power lower limit among the M+N-1 equipment, and there are M+N-2 hydrogen production equipment remaining, and the M+N-2 hydrogen production equipment forms a third solution library, and remove the hydrogen equipment with the smallest load power lower limit in turn until M+N solution libraries are formed.

[0063] According to the number of hydrogen production equipment included in the hydrogen production system, the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest load power lower limit is removed in turn, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen production equipment with large power is retained in the solution library. By making full use of the hydrogen production equipment with large power for hydrogen production, more hydrogen can be obtained in the same time compared with the hydrogen production equipment with small power, thereby improving the hydrogen production efficiency of the hydrogen production system.

[0064] Step S103: In any scheme library, between the upper limit and the lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency, configure the hydrogen production efficiency of different hydrogen production equipment to form several allocation schemes, determine the total input power of each allocation scheme, and the target scheme under the same total input power.

[0065] In any scheme library, all hydrogen production equipment in the scheme library are sorted from small to large according to the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency, starting from the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency, and the hydrogen production efficiency of the hydrogen production equipment is configured in sequence. The configured hydrogen production efficiency does not exceed the range of the upper limit and the lower limit of the hydrogen production efficiency, so that hydrogen production equipment with different hydrogen production efficiencies are combined until all hydrogen production equipment and hydrogen production efficiencies in the scheme library are combined to form a number of allocation schemes.

[0066] In one embodiment, there are three hydrogen production equipments in a scheme library, and the three hydrogen production equipments are sorted in order from small to large according to the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency to obtain the first hydrogen production equipment, the second hydrogen production equipment and the third hydrogen production equipment. If the preset efficiency change step is 5%, the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency is η1, and the lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency is η2, then the first hydrogen production equipment of 95%η1, the second hydrogen production equipment of η1, and the third hydrogen production equipment of η1 form the first allocation scheme, the first hydrogen production equipment of 90%η1, the second hydrogen production equipment of η1, and the third hydrogen production equipment of η1 form the second hydrogen production scheme, ..., the first hydrogen production equipment of η2, the second hydrogen production equipment of 95%η1, and the third hydrogen production equipment of η1 form the Nth allocation scheme, until three hydrogen production equipments with different hydrogen production efficiencies are combined to form several allocation schemes.

[0067] In any allocation scheme, the hydrogen production efficiency of each hydrogen production equipment in the allocation scheme is obtained, based on the hydrogen production efficiency, the input power of each hydrogen production equipment is determined, and the hydrogen production power of each hydrogen production equipment is obtained according to the function.

[0068] In any allocation scheme, based on the hydrogen production efficiency of each hydrogen equipment, the input power of the hydrogen production equipment at each hydrogen production efficiency is determined, and the hydrogen production power at each hydrogen production efficiency in the allocation scheme is determined according to the function of the hydrogen production efficiency with respect to the hydrogen production power.

[0069] According to the input power and hydrogen production efficiency, the total input power and overall efficiency of the allocation scheme are determined. Among them, the overall efficiency satisfies the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, η 整体s is the overall efficiency of s hydrogen production equipment, P i is the input power of the i-th hydrogen production equipment, η i is the hydrogen production efficiency of the i-th hydrogen production equipment.

[0072] Based on the total input power, the target scheme corresponding to each total input power is determined. If there are allocation schemes with the same total input power among all allocation schemes, then among these allocation schemes with the same total power, the allocation scheme with the best overall efficiency is used as the target scheme, wherein the target scheme includes the mapping relationship between the overall efficiency, the total input power and the power of each hydrogen production equipment.

[0073] Each solution library includes allocation plans for combinations of hydrogen production equipment with different efficiencies, covering all possible power conditions of the hydrogen production equipment during its operation, thereby ensuring that there will be corresponding allocation plans based on the input power of the hydrogen production system in the future, and ensuring that the hydrogen production equipment can operate according to the application scenario.

[0074] Step S104, query the solution library in descending order of the number of hydrogen production equipment until a total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is determined, and start the hydrogen production equipment according to the target solution corresponding to the determined total input power.

[0075] The input power of the hydrogen production system is obtained, and the solution library is queried in the order of the number of hydrogen production equipment from large to small. Among them, the input power of the hydrogen production system comes from the output power of wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, and power plants in the grid. Since the solution library is formed on the basis of the solution library formed by all hydrogen production equipment, the hydrogen production equipment with the smallest load power lower limit is continuously reduced. The hydrogen production system starts to query from the solution library including all hydrogen production equipment, and in the order of the number of hydrogen production equipment from large to small, the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is preferentially determined in the solution library with a large number of hydrogen production equipment. If the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is determined in the solution library with all hydrogen production equipment, then according to the mapping relationship between the overall efficiency, total input power and power of each hydrogen production equipment in the target solution corresponding to the total input power, the corresponding hydrogen production equipment is started, and each hydrogen production equipment is adjusted to the corresponding power. Among them, the started hydrogen production equipment corresponds to different hydrogen production efficiencies.

[0076] In one embodiment, there are M alkaline water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment and N proton exchange membrane water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment in the hydrogen production system, and there are a total of M+N hydrogen production equipment. In the first solution library, there are M+N hydrogen production equipment and several first allocation schemes formed by the combination of M+N hydrogen production equipment, in the second solution library, there are M+N-1 hydrogen production equipment and several second allocation schemes formed by the combination of M+N-1 hydrogen production equipment, ..., in the M+N solution library, there is 1 hydrogen production equipment and several M+N allocation schemes formed by the combination of 1 hydrogen production equipment. After obtaining the input power of the hydrogen production system, it is preferred to search in the first solution library to obtain the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system, and determine the corresponding first allocation scheme according to the total input power. If the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is not found in the first solution library, it is searched in the second solution library. If the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is found, the corresponding second allocation scheme is determined according to the total input power, and the search is performed until the total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is found.

[0077] It should be noted that since the allocation plans in the entire plan library cover all possibilities during the operation of the hydrogen production equipment, if no total input power that is the same as the input power of the hydrogen production system is found in the entire plan library, it means that there is an equipment failure in the entire hydrogen production system and the equipment needs to be repaired so that the hydrogen production system can continue to operate.

[0078] In another embodiment, Figure 4 is a flowchart of searching for a corresponding allocation solution in a solution library according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, if the input power is greater than or equal to the sum of the lower limits of the load powers of all hydrogen production equipment, in solution library 1, that is, in the solution library with all hydrogen production equipment, query the load allocation plan with the highest overall hydrogen production efficiency in solution library 1 under the input power. If the input power is less than or equal to the sum of the lower limits of the load powers of all hydrogen production equipment, priority is given to solution library 2, that is, when there is one less hydrogen production equipment compared to the hydrogen production equipment in solution library 1, query the load allocation plan with the highest overall hydrogen production efficiency in solution library 2 under the input power. Search in different solution libraries in turn until the corresponding matching allocation plan is found.

[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 5 is a flow chart of a method for distributing loads in a hydrogen production system according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the hydrogen production equipment determines the corresponding power allocation method according to the respective operating characteristics, determines the power allocation scheme according to the input power of the hydrogen production system, and adjusts the power of each hydrogen production equipment according to the power allocation scheme.

[0080] In summary, the load distribution method of the hydrogen production system provided by the embodiment of the present application determines the solution library according to the number of hydrogen production equipment, determines the possible operating conditions of the hydrogen production equipment in the solution, and obtains the corresponding allocation scheme in the solution library of all hydrogen production equipment according to the input power of hydrogen, and searches for the corresponding allocation scheme in turn according to the number of hydrogen production equipment, and starts the corresponding hydrogen production equipment according to the allocation scheme found, so as to ensure that the hydrogen production equipment in the entire hydrogen production system keeps all hydrogen production equipment in operation first, reduces the frequent start and stop of the hydrogen production equipment, thereby reducing the damage to the hydrogen production equipment, and ensures the reliable operation of the hydrogen production equipment. On the other hand, the solution library includes different numbers of hydrogen production equipment, and each solution library reduces the hydrogen production equipment with the minimum load lower limit in turn, so as to ensure that the hydrogen production power of the hydrogen production equipment in the solution library is large and can produce more hydrogen. The allocation scheme in the solution library is determined based on the operating characteristics of different hydrogen production methods and specifications of the hydrogen production equipment. After the allocation scheme is determined according to the input power, the corresponding hydrogen equipment can be started to operate on the basis of each operating characteristic, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the hydrogen production system.

[0081] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a load distribution device for a hydrogen production system. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a load distribution device for a hydrogen production system according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the load distribution device of the hydrogen production system includes: an acquisition module, which is used to obtain the load power upper limit and load power lower limit of the hydrogen production equipment and the function of the hydrogen production power with respect to the hydrogen production efficiency for any one of the hydrogen production equipment, and obtain the hydrogen production efficiency lower limit corresponding to the hydrogen production efficiency upper limit and the load power lower limit based on the function;

[0082] A division module, used to divide all hydrogen production equipment into a number of solution libraries in a manner that the number of equipment decreases in sequence, and the minimum load power lower limits of the hydrogen production equipment in the several solution libraries increase in sequence;

[0083] A determination module, used to configure the hydrogen production efficiency of different hydrogen production equipments to form a plurality of allocation schemes between the upper limit of hydrogen production efficiency and the lower limit of hydrogen production efficiency in any one of the scheme libraries, determine the total input power of each allocation scheme, and the target scheme under the same total input power;
