Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrolyzer hydrogen production, and in particular to an electrolyzer array power distribution method and system, and a medium taking hydrogen production efficiency into account. Background Art

[0002] Thanks to the support of energy strategies, renewable energy has been able to develop rapidly. Due to the intermittent and volatile nature of wind power and photovoltaics, they cannot be fully integrated into the power grid for consumption, which has a serious impact on the safe and stable operation of the power grid, resulting in frequent wind and solar power abandonment, waste of investment and other phenomena. The development of hydrogen energy storage technology plays a key role in solving these problems. In order to address the problem of large-scale grid connection and consumption of wind power, surplus wind power can be consumed by electrolysis to produce hydrogen. Using the surplus electricity generated by wind abandonment to produce hydrogen can not only effectively improve energy utilization, but also reduce carbon emissions and hydrogen production costs during the hydrogen production process, providing an effective way to produce green hydrogen.

[0003] However, the energy conversion efficiency of water electrolysis to produce hydrogen is usually a worrying issue, especially for large-scale multi-electrolyzer arrays above MW level, so it is particularly important to improve the electrolysis efficiency. In practical applications, hydrogen production is often large-scale, and multiple electrolyzers are usually combined into an electrolyzer array to meet the hydrogen production needs. At present, most electrolyzer arrays use a staged start-stop control strategy.

[0004] Under this start-stop control strategy, the electrolyzer is basically in the rated state or the stopped state. Especially when the power is low, most of the electrolyzers are in the stopped state, and the startup method is cold start. It takes a long time for the operating temperature to rise to the rated temperature, and the efficiency and utilization rate of the electrolyzer are low. In addition, the electrolyzer is started and stopped frequently, which seriously affects the economy and service life of the hydrogen production system. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a power distribution method, system and medium for an electrolyzer array taking hydrogen production efficiency into consideration, with the goal of maximizing the hydrogen production and efficiency of the electrolyzer array, and performing segmented control according to the deviation between the power to be consumed and the initial optimal operating power, thereby avoiding frequent start and stop of the electrolyzers and increasing the service life of the electrolyzer array.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems as follows: A method for distributing power of an electrolyzer array taking into account hydrogen production efficiency comprises the following steps:

[0007] Receiving the electricity to be consumed and converting the electricity to be consumed into the power to be optimized for the electrolyzer array;

[0008] Taking the maximization of the efficiency and hydrogen production of the electrolyzer array as the goal, the optimal power of the initial operation of the electrolyzer array is calculated, and the segmented execution information is obtained based on the set allocation rules according to the power to be optimized of the electrolyzer array and the optimal power of the initial operation of the electrolyzer array;

[0009] A power allocation instruction is obtained based on the segmented execution information; each electrolyzer in the electrolyzer array adjusts the hydrogen production power of the electrolyzer accordingly according to the power allocation instruction.

[0010] Preferably, the method further comprises: if the total hydrogen production power of the electrolyzer array does not meet the set feedback error e2, adjusting the electrolyzer array power P to be optimized elt , and re-optimize the power P of the electrolyzer array elt The optimal power P0 of the electrolyzer array is output in sections to execute information and power allocation instructions until the total hydrogen production power P el Satisfy the set feedback error e2.

[0011] Preferably, the optimal power of the initial operation of the electrolyzer array is calculated with the goal of maximizing the efficiency and hydrogen production of the electrolyzer array, and the segmented execution information is obtained based on the set allocation rules according to the power to be optimized of the electrolyzer array and the optimal power of the initial operation of the electrolyzer array, which specifically includes:

[0012] The constructed electrolytic cell array voltage model and electrolytic cell array efficiency model are as follows:

[0013] U el =U rev +U ohm +U act

[0014] Where: U el is the cell voltage; U rev is the reversible voltage of the electrolytic cell; U ohm is the ohmic overvoltage of the electrolytic cell; U act The electrolytic cell activation overvoltage;

[0015]

[0016] U0=1.229-0.9×10 -3 (T-298)

[0017] Where: U0 is the reversible voltage under standard pressure; R is the ideal gas constant; T is the working temperature of the electrolytic cell; z is the number of molar electrons participating in the reaction during the electrolysis process; F is the Faraday constant; is the partial pressure of hydrogen; is the partial pressure of oxygen; is the activity of water between the electrode and the proton membrane; p0 is the standard atmospheric pressure:

[0018]

[0019] Where: j is the working current density of the electrolytic cell; t mis the thickness of the proton exchange membrane; σ m is the conductivity of the proton exchange membrane; λ is the water content of the proton exchange membrane;

[0020] The electrolyzer array efficiency is as follows:

[0021] η=η v η F

[0022] M=f3P el η

[0023] Where: η is the total efficiency of the electrolyzer; η v is the voltage efficiency; η F is the current efficiency; M is the hydrogen production; P el is the total real-time output power of the electrolyzer array; f3 is the hydrogen production coefficient per kilowatt-hour;

[0024]

[0025] Where: U th is the thermal neutral voltage; f1 and f2 represent Faraday related parameters.

[0026] Based on the electrolyzer array voltage model and electrolyzer array efficiency model, an objective function for maximizing the electrolyzer array efficiency and hydrogen production is established, and operating constraints of the electrolyzer array are set;

[0027] The objective function for maximizing the efficiency and hydrogen production of the electrolyzer array is as follows:

[0028]

[0032] Based on the operating constraints of the electrolytic cell array, the objective function is solved by a particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain the initial operating optimal power P0 of the electrolytic cell array;

[0041] Compared with the traditional staged switching power distribution method, the above-mentioned segmented control rules try to keep each electrolyzer in working condition and gradually increase from the initial optimal operating power. This not only ensures the hydrogen production efficiency and economy of the hydrogen production system, but also improves the utilization rate of the hydrogen production equipment, reduces the start and stop frequency of the equipment, and thus increases the service life of the hydrogen production system.

[0042] Preferably, when 0<e1<e 1max , the output electrolyzer array operates at the initial optimal power P0, and then gradually increases the power of n electrolyzers until the total hydrogen production power P el The power allocation specification that satisfies the feedback error e2 specifically includes:

If the total hydrogen production power does not meet the feedback error e2, it will increase sequentially starting from the first electrolyzer until the total hydrogen production power does not meet the feedback error e2.
