Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of electric power technology application, and in particular to a PEM electrolyzer temperature control system, a heating device and a method. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, the amount of wind and solar power that cannot be connected to the grid has gradually increased due to their random, intermittent, and volatile characteristics and the limitations of the grid's ability to withstand fluctuating power sources. Using the energy properties and raw material properties of hydrogen, electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen through wind and solar power abandonment is one of the important measures to promote the absorption of abandoned power and deep decarbonization of downstream industries. Among them, proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis to produce hydrogen is one of the main ways to absorb the fluctuating power of wind and solar power generation due to its fast response to fluctuating power and wide load regulation range.
[0003] The operating temperature, operating pressure, and operating current of the PEM electrolyzer are important parameters that restrict the performance of the hydrogen production system. The current common method for controlling the operating temperature of the PEM electrolyzer is: the hydrogen production system is equipped with a circulating cooling water system. The circulating water is cooled by the cooling system and enters the gas-liquid heat exchanger to absorb heat. Then, the heat of the electrolyzer circulating water is absorbed by the liquid-liquid heat exchanger. The purpose of controlling the electrolyzer temperature is achieved by cooling the circulating water of the electrolyzer; in particular, the opening of the pneumatic valve in the circulating cooling water system is adjusted to control the circulating cooling water flow rate, thereby adjusting the operating temperature of the electrolyzer.
[0004] When operating under low temperature weather conditions and the operating temperature of the electrolyzer needs to be adjusted, the cooling water is circulated, but the circulating water of the electrolyzer will be excessively cooled; even if the opening of the pneumatic valve in the circulating cooling water system is adjusted to a smaller state and the circulating cooling water flow rate is reduced, since the circulating water temperature in the circulating cooling water system is in a low temperature state due to the low temperature environment, the circulating water of the electrolyzer will still be excessively cooled when the cooling water circulates, causing the operating temperature of the electrolyzer to drop rapidly, which often causes the hydrogen production system operating indicators to exceed the standard and trip.
[0005] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed to solve the problem that the operating index of the hydrogen production system exceeds the standard and the system trips due to the operating temperature control of the PEM electrolyzer in a low temperature environment in the prior art.

[0058] Figure 4 A schematic flow chart of a PEM electrolyzer temperature control method in a PEM electrolyzer temperature control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 As shown, the temperature control method of the PEM electrolyzer in the embodiment of the present application is:
[0059] (1) Based on the purity requirements of the oxygen and hydrogen produced by the electrolyzer and the performance of the gas-liquid separator, according to the cooling system flow rate Q2, the corresponding upper limit value TQmax of the inlet temperature of the tube side of the gas-liquid heat exchanger under the flow rate is obtained (that is, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the purity requirements of the oxygen and hydrogen generated by the electrolyzer and the performance of the gas-liquid separator, combined with the flow rate of the cooling system collected by the second data acquisition unit, the calculation is performed to obtain the upper limit value of the inlet temperature of the tube side of the gas-liquid heat exchanger corresponding to the flow rate).
[0060] (2) Based on the upper and lower limits TDmax and TDmin of the operating temperature set for the electrolytic cell, according to the electrolytic cell flow rate Q1, the inlet temperature W2 and the outlet temperature W1, and the cooling system flow rate Q2, the upper and lower limits TYmax and TYmin of the shell inlet temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger under this operating condition are obtained (that is, the upper and lower limits of the temperature of the electrolytic cell obtained by the first data acquisition unit in the embodiment of the present application are combined with the real-time flow of the inlet flow measuring instrument of the electrolytic cell obtained by the second data acquisition unit, the real-time temperature of the inlet temperature measuring instrument of the electrolytic cell, the real-time temperature of the outlet temperature measuring instrument of the electrolytic cell, and the real-time flow of the outlet flow measuring instrument in the heating device to calculate the upper and lower limits of the shell inlet temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger).
[0061] (3) When the PEM electrolyzer temperature control system is in operation, priority is given to ensuring that the real-time temperature W3 of the gas-liquid heat exchanger tube inlet is less than the upper limit of the inlet temperature TQmax, that is, first ensuring the cooling effect of the gas-liquid heat exchanger on the gas produced by the electrolyzer. This guarantee is achieved by dynamically adjusting the number of cooling device startups and the cooling system flow rate (that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the real-time temperature of the gas-liquid heat exchanger tube inlet is controlled to be less than the upper limit of the gas-liquid heat exchanger tube inlet temperature by dynamically adjusting the number of cooling device startups and the cooling system flow rate).
[0062] (4) When the system is running, secondly, ensure that the real-time temperature W4 at the shell side inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger is within the range of the upper and lower limits TYmax and TYmin of the shell side temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger, that is, TYmin≤W4≤TYmax (that is, in the embodiment of the present application, the real-time temperature at the shell side inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger is controlled to be within the range of the upper and lower limits of the shell side temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger). The implementation measures for this guarantee are:
[0063] ① When the temperature of the electrolytic cell needs to be raised, the electric heater in the heating water tank is first started to quickly increase the inlet temperature W4 of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger. When the inlet temperature W4 of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger approaches the upper limit TYmax, the number of heater starts N is dynamically reduced, and the cooling system performs dynamic refrigeration adjustment on the premise of ensuring the cooling effect of the gas-liquid heat exchanger; (that is, in the embodiment of the present application, when the temperature of the electrolytic cell is controlled to rise, the electric heating component in the heating device is started to increase the inlet temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger. When the inlet temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger approaches the upper limit of the shell temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger, the number of starts in the electric heating component is dynamically reduced, and the cooling system performs dynamic refrigeration adjustment on the premise of ensuring the cooling effect of the gas-liquid heat exchanger.)
[0064] ② When the temperature of the electrolytic cell needs to be lowered, the number of cooling devices started is increased first to improve the cooling capacity. When the real-time temperature W4 at the inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger is close to the lower limit TYmin, the number of cooling devices started is dynamically reduced M, and at the same time, the electric heater in the heating water tank dynamically adjusts the start and stop of each heater according to the real-time temperature W4 at the inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger (that is, in the embodiment of the present application, when the temperature of the electrolytic cell is controlled to be lowered, the number of cooling devices started in the cooling system is increased to improve the cooling capacity. When the real-time temperature at the inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger is close to the lower limit of the shell temperature of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger, the number of cooling devices started is dynamically reduced, and at the same time, the electric heating components in the heating device dynamically adjust the start and stop of the electric heating components according to the real-time temperature at the inlet of the liquid-liquid heat exchanger).
[0065] The temperature display module displays the real-time temperature W1 of the electrolytic cell outlet temperature measuring instrument T1, the real-time temperature W2 of the electrolytic cell inlet temperature measuring instrument T2, the real-time temperature W3 of the gas-liquid heat exchanger tube inlet temperature measuring instrument T3, the real-time temperature W4 of the water tank outlet temperature measuring instrument T4, and the temperatures R1...RN of each electric heating component of the heating water tank, and draws and displays the real-time change curve of each temperature parameter.
