Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a power grid dispatching method and belongs to the technical field of microgrid dispatching. Background Art

[0002] Electricity-generated hydrogen technology is one of the effective ways to promote carbon emission reduction in industries such as electricity, transportation, and chemicals. In order to avoid carbon emissions in the process of electricity-generated hydrogen, the electrolyzer that produces hydrogen needs to be directly coupled with renewable energy generators that are volatile, random, and intermittent. Unlike the traditional constant power operation mode, when the electrolyzer is directly coupled with the renewable energy generator through a microgrid, the microgrid needs to formulate an operation strategy for the microgrid based on the output of renewable energy to improve the utilization rate of renewable energy, reduce the impact of renewable energy volatility on the upper power grid and electrolyzer, and maximize economic benefits.

[0003] Since the electrolyzer diaphragm cannot completely isolate the gas produced by the anode and cathode, the gas produced by the electrolyzer contains impurities. When the gas impurity ratio reaches the explosion limit, the system will explode, especially the impurity ratio of the gas-liquid separator on the anode side. The gas impurity ratio increases as the electrolyzer power decreases. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the electrolyzer, it is necessary to limit the lower limit of the electrolyzer's operating power when scheduling the microgrid.

[0004] Prior art literature:

[0005] Kong Lingguo's team from Northeast Electric Power University focuses on the distribution and centralized interactive optimization scheduling of the park's electricity-hydrogen-heat low-carbon energy system. With the goal of minimizing operating costs, they solve the interactive energy meters between buildings and the optimal output of each centralized energy equipment in the park, thus achieving precise and optimal point-to-point energy interaction among multiple energy entities.

[0006] Yuan Tiejiang's team from Dalian University of Technology took into account real-time changes in electricity prices, the operating status of multiple electrolyzers, and the intermittent nature of new energy sources, and established a day-ahead output scheduling model to achieve safe and stable operation of the system, avoid large-scale purchases of electricity at peak electricity prices and repeated start and stop of alkaline electrolyzers, and reduce system operating costs.

[0007] Yang Ping's team at South China University of Technology determined the upper and lower limits of the electrolyzer's power through the annual grid sales rate and the levelized electricity price, and proposed a capacity optimization method for wind-solar-hydrogen-storage microgrids to reduce wind and solar power curtailment.

[0008] The level of existing technology and existing problems (defects):

[0009] 1. At present, in the microgrid dispatching containing electrolyzers, the power lower limit of the electrolyzer is usually a given constant value. When the given constant power lower limit is too large, the response capacity of the electrolyzer cannot be fully utilized, and the system benefit is low. When the given constant power lower limit is too small, the system safety cannot be guaranteed.

[0010] 2. A microgrid may contain both proton exchange membrane (PEM) and alkaline electrolysis (AEL) electrolyzers. They have different ratios of hydrogen and oxygen impurities at the same power, so the given constant power lower limit is also different. It is very difficult to select an appropriate constant power lower limit to ensure the safe operation of PEM and AEL electrolyzers while fully utilizing the response capability of the electrolyzers.

[0011] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a solar-hydrogen-storage microgrid scheduling method that considers the dynamic safety constraints of the electrolyzer to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0032]

[0033] Among them, a AEL and b AEL is the constant of the AEL electrolyzer gas impurity response, which can be obtained from equations (1)-(5) and the dynamic operation experiment of the AEL electrolyzer;

[0046] Step 2.2: Considering the operating characteristics of the microgrid, the optimal dispatching strategy is obtained by finding the maximum value of the objective function.

[0047] Preferably: In step 2.1, the source and load power of the microgrid should be balanced:

[0068]

[0069] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0137] The present invention mainly optimizes the scheduling of a microgrid containing an electrolyzer, takes into account the dynamic hydrogen and oxygen impurity response of the electrolyzer, ensures the safety of the electrolyzer, and fully utilizes the response capability of the electrolyzer.

[0138] Embodiment 1:

[0139] The proposed scheduling method is simulated by taking a photovoltaic-hydrogen-storage microgrid as an example, and compared with the traditional scheduling method with a given power lower limit. The system power load curve and photovoltaic output curve are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown;

[0140] The power allocation results of the electrolyzer in the light-hydrogen-storage microgrid are as follows Figure 4As shown in the figure; in the traditional method, the power lower limit given to PEM and AEL electrolyzers is the same. At the same time, due to the small difference in their hydrogen production efficiency, when the goal is to maximize the benefits, the power allocation results of PEM and AEL electrolyzers are basically the same; in the proposed method, there is no need to give a power lower limit in advance, and the scheduling algorithm can automatically optimize the power allocation through dynamic safety constraints; due to the different dynamic responses of hydrogen and oxygen impurities in PEM and AEL electrolyzers, the allocated electrolyzer power lower limits are quite different;

[0141] The dynamic response of hydrogen and oxygen impurities to the electrolytic cell power is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in the traditional method, the power allocated to the PEM and AEL electrolyzers is the same. However, since the hydrogen-oxygen impurity crossover of the AEL electrolyzer is more serious than that of the PEM electrolyzer, the hydrogen-oxygen impurity ratio of the AEL electrolyzer is higher, always higher than the safety limit of 2%. For the PEM electrolyzer, although its hydrogen-oxygen impurity ratio is below the safety limit for a long time, it still exceeds the limit in some time periods, endangering the safety of the system.

[0142] For the proposed method, whether it is a PEM electrolyzer or an AEL electrolyzer, the hydrogen and oxygen impurity ratio is below the safety limit of 2% during the entire time period, ensuring the safety of the system; at the same time, in some time periods, the hydrogen and oxygen impurity ratio of the electrolyzer is equal to 2%, and the system is in a card edge operation state, making full use of the response capacity of the electrolyzer;

[0143] In addition, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, when the upper limit of the hydrogen and oxygen impurity ratio in the dynamic safety constraint is changed to 1.8%, the proposed method can still make the system's hydrogen and oxygen impurity ratio meet the demand and operate at the edge during part of the time to make full use of the response capability of the electrolyzer; this shows that the proposed method can flexibly control the safety of the electrolyzer in the microgrid.

[0144] It should be noted that in the above embodiments, as long as the technical solutions are not contradictory, they can be arranged and combined, and those skilled in the art can exhaust all possibilities based on the mathematical knowledge of arrangement and combination. Therefore, the present invention will no longer describe the technical solutions after arrangement and combination one by one, but it should be understood that the technical solutions after arrangement and combination have been disclosed by the present invention.

[0145] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
