Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy management technology, specifically to an optimized scheduling method for a comprehensive energy system that considers hydrogen production from biogas reforming and hydrogen blending from natural gas. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the mainstream hydrogen production method in my country is natural gas-based hydrogen production, which has the advantages of good economy and low carbon emissions. However, the shortage of natural gas supply limits the further development of this method. At the same time, a large amount of biomass waste resources such as straw have not been developed and utilized. Existing research mostly adopts the method of direct utilization of biomass fuels by biomass gas turbines. For example, the study "Two-stage Optimization Operation of Township Biomass Integrated Energy System Considering Heat Network Losses" analyzes the application benefits of biomass gas turbines in township integrated energy systems. However, the problems of high carbon emissions and low energy utilization efficiency of direct combustion of biomass fuel still need to be improved.

[0003] Regarding the diversified utilization of hydrogen energy, existing technologies focus on using hydrogen fuel cells as a single hydrogen consumer. For example, Chinese patent document CN113098036B describes a method for scheduling hydrogen fuel cells in integrated energy systems. However, hydrogen fuel cells suffer from waste heat during practical use, requiring additional consideration of costly waste heat recovery technologies to achieve higher efficiency. Therefore, researching optimized scheduling methods for integrated energy systems that combine biogas reforming for hydrogen production and gas blending with hydrogen is of great significance for improving the utilization rate of biomass energy and hydrogen energy, realizing the conversion of biomass energy to green hydrogen energy, and accelerating the achievement of dual-carbon goals.

[0047] This invention provides an optimized scheduling method for a comprehensive energy system considering biogas reforming for hydrogen production and gas-blended hydrogen production. First, a biogas reforming hydrogen production model is constructed to meet natural gas load requirements while simultaneously achieving hydrogen production from biogas. Second, the effects of biogas reforming for hydrogen production on system economy and low-carbon emissions are explored by combining water electrolysis and hydrogen produced from biogas reforming. Then, the generated hydrogen is supplied to hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen-blended gas turbines, and a tiered carbon trading mechanism is introduced to limit system carbon emissions. Finally, simulation analysis is conducted under four different scenarios with the goal of minimizing total daily operating cost. The method offers the following advantages:

[0048] 1) Achieving diversified hydrogen production. A green route for converting biomass energy into hydrogen energy is proposed. Through comparative analysis of hydrogen production energy sources and hydrogen production schemes, the project reduces the need for external gas purchases and lowers carbon emissions from biomass-to-thermal energy conversion. The biogas reforming hydrogen production scheme, when applied to integrated energy systems, can further optimize system scheduling.

[0049] 2) Achieve diversified utilization of hydrogen energy. Hydrogen produced by combined water electrolysis can be supplied to hydrogen fuel cells and gas turbines, realizing the conversion of hydrogen energy into electricity and heat. Incorporating hydrogen into gas turbines in a certain proportion can further reduce natural gas consumption, while the utilization of hydrogen can promote the system's absorption of more wind and solar renewable energy.

[0050] 3) It promotes the consumption of wind and solar renewable energy. The increased proportion of hydrogen blending in gas turbines has boosted hydrogen usage, and the increased hydrogen production from water electrolysis has reduced wind and solar curtailment. Compared to single hydrogen sources, the application of biogas reforming for hydrogen production improves system scheduling flexibility.

[0051] 4) The introduction of a tiered carbon trading mechanism further limits carbon emissions generated during biomass utilization. Tiered carbon trading consists of two parts: carbon trading quotas and carbon emissions. The actual carbon emissions are calculated by considering the total carbon emissions generated throughout the entire biomass utilization process. Different carbon emission levels fall within different ranges, resulting in different carbon trading costs, thus limiting actual carbon emissions and achieving the green and low-carbon use of biomass.

Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is an important method for biogas purification; compared to conventional PSA units, second-order PSA can increase the purity of both carbon dioxide and methane to over 99%. High-purity methane is then purified to hydrogen with a purity of up to 99% through steam methane reforming and PSA purification.

[0083] Gas turbine hydrogen incorporation model

[0084] To further reduce system carbon emissions, this paper employs a hydrogen-blended gas turbine to achieve low-carbon combustion of natural gas.

[0110] Model Solving and Simulation Analysis

[0111] The low-carbon economic dispatch model for the integrated energy system combining biogas reforming for hydrogen production and gas blending with hydrogen is a mixed-integer linear programming problem, solved using the GUROBI solver on the MATLAB platform. Wind power and solar power output are detailed below. Figure 3 Electricity, heat, and gas loads are listed below. Figure 4 The time-of-use electricity and gas prices are shown in Table 1, and the parameters for the biogas PSA purification and SMR hydrogen production model are shown in Table 2. The unit price for wind and solar curtailment is 400 yuan / MWh; the benchmark value in the tiered carbon trading model is 200 yuan / t, the interval length is 10t, and the price growth rate is 0.3%; the SMR hydrogen production operation and maintenance cost is 0.623 yuan / m³. 3 .

[0112] Simulation Result Analysis

[0113] To verify the economic efficiency and low carbon emissions of the biogas reforming hydrogen production model, four operating scenarios were constructed.

[0114] Scenario 1: All natural gas is supplied by purchasing gas, and hydrogen is produced only through water electrolysis.

[0115] Scenario 2: All natural gas is supplied by gas purchase, and hydrogen is produced through a combination of water electrolysis and steam methane reforming.

[0116] Scenario 3: Natural gas is supplied by a combination of biomass gas supply and gas purchase, and hydrogen is produced only through water electrolysis.

[0117] Scenario 4: Natural gas is supplied by a combination of biomass gas supply and gas purchase, and hydrogen is produced through a combination of water electrolysis and steam methane reforming.

[0118] The scheduling results for the four scenarios are shown in Table 3. As can be seen from the table, Scenario 2 reduces the total cost by 2.53% and carbon emissions by 12.09% compared to Scenario 1, which uses water electrolysis to produce hydrogen alone. Steam methane reforming can broaden the system's hydrogen source channels, enabling combined gas and electricity hydrogen production, but it increases the required natural gas volume and raises gas purchase costs. The diversification of hydrogen production pathways reduces the amount of electricity purchased, lowers electricity purchase costs, reduces carbon emissions from electricity purchases, and lowers carbon trading costs.

[0119] Compared to Scenario 1, Scenario 3 reduces total cost by 3.21% but increases carbon emissions by 1.76%. Scenario 3 utilizes biogas produced through biogas purification as another source of natural gas. Compared to purchasing natural gas separately, this reduces gas purchase costs and promotes biomass energy utilization. However, the biogas purification process increases electricity consumption, leading to higher electricity purchase costs and increased output of the gas turbine unit, thus increasing carbon emissions.

[0120] Compared to Scenario 1, Scenario 4 reduces total cost by 5.33% and carbon emissions by 5.17%. While Scenario 4 reduces electricity and gas purchase costs through biogas reforming for hydrogen production, it increases operation and maintenance costs and biomass feedstock costs. Furthermore, the biogas reforming process generates carbon emissions, and since no carbon emission quota is currently defined, carbon trading costs in Scenario 4 are higher than in Scenario 1. In summary, compared to hydrogen production through water electrolysis alone, biogas reforming for hydrogen production improves energy purchase and dispatch flexibility, achieving reductions in total cost and carbon emissions.

[0121] Scheduling Result Analysis

[0122] Figure 5-8 This represents the electrical and thermal power, and the hydrogen and natural gas dispatch results for scenario four. (By...) Figure 5It can be seen that during peak wind and solar power output periods (1:00-5:00, 10:00-15:00, 22:00-24:00), hydrogen production from wind and solar energy is achieved through water electrolysis, biogas pressure swing adsorption purification, and steam methane reforming. Excess electricity is stored in energy storage devices and converted by electric boilers to meet system power balance. During off-peak wind and solar power output periods (6:00-9:00, 17:00-21:00), energy storage devices discharge electricity, and any shortfall is met by purchasing electricity directly. During periods with lower electricity prices (6:00), the cost of hydrogen production through water electrolysis is lower than that through steam methane reforming, so purchasing electricity for hydrogen production is chosen. During periods with higher electricity prices (19:00-21:00), the cost of producing biogas is lower, so biogas reforming is chosen for hydrogen production. The above analysis shows that the biogas reforming hydrogen production model has good economic efficiency in hydrogen production.

[0123] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the heat load is supplied by the gas turbine, electric boiler equipment, and hydrogen fuel cell equipment, with any shortfall or surplus met by thermal storage equipment. The electric boiler equipment decouples the gas turbine from the thermoelectric system, and the use of hydrogen fuel cell equipment realizes the conversion of hydrogen energy into thermal energy.

[0124] Depend on Figure 7 It is known that during periods of higher electricity prices (7:00-9:00 and 16:00-21:00), when hydrogen production through water electrolysis cannot meet the demand, steam methane reforming is a more cost-effective option for hydrogen production. The supplied hydrogen is prioritized to meet the needs of gas turbines, with any surplus being utilized through hydrogen fuel cell equipment and hydrogen storage facilities.

[0125] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that during peak wind and solar power output periods, biogas production is chosen to consume the power generated by wind and solar power. When biogas output reaches its maximum capacity, natural gas is purchased to make up the shortfall. During the periods of 6:00, 9:00, 16:00, and 19:00, a certain amount of biogas is prepared to meet the power ramp-up constraints of pressure swing adsorption (PSA). During periods when natural gas prices are relatively high (20:00-21:00), biogas is used to achieve economical gas consumption, with natural gas purchases made to meet any shortfall. During periods when natural gas prices are relatively low (7:00-8:00 and 17:00-18:00), directly purchasing natural gas is more economical.

[0126] 6.4 Hydrogen-doped combustion analysis

[0127] Hydrogen blending in gas turbines can reduce natural gas consumption and enable diversified utilization of hydrogen, but excessive hydrogen demand can burden the system's hydrogen production. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis of the hydrogen blending ratio in gas turbines is necessary to obtain changes in total cost, carbon emissions, and hydrogen production from steam methane reforming, such as... Figure 9 As shown.

[0128] Depend on Figure 9It can be seen that as the proportion of hydrogen blending in gas turbines increases, the total cost and carbon emissions first decrease and then increase, while the amount of hydrogen produced from natural gas continuously increases. Compared to the case without hydrogen blending, moderate hydrogen blending in gas turbines can promote the increase of hydrogen production through water electrolysis and steam methane reforming, while reducing the amount of natural gas required by the gas turbine at various times, achieving economical and low-carbon operation. The increase in hydrogen production through water electrolysis can promote the consumption of wind and solar power, thereby reducing the cost of curtailing wind and solar power; the increase in hydrogen production through steam methane reforming can reduce carbon emissions and energy purchase costs caused by excessive electricity purchases; the reduction in natural gas demand leads to a decrease in the use of biogas, reducing carbon emissions and straw costs. When the hydrogen blending ratio exceeds 0.1%, the demand for hydrogen exceeds the maximum supply. At this point, the energy source required for hydrogen production is met through electricity and gas purchases, thus increasing both the total cost and carbon emissions. In summary, moderate hydrogen blending in gas turbines can promote the consumption of wind and solar power and reduce energy purchase costs; however, excessive hydrogen blending will additionally increase energy purchase costs and carbon emissions, which is not conducive to the economical and low-carbon operation of the system.
