Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high - proportion new - energy power system planning, and particularly to a method and system for optimizing the capacity of a multi - energy - flow coupling system based on efficient electro - hydrogen catalysis. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this part merely provide background - technical information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Currently, the global energy system still mainly relies on fossil energy, and the global energy system is still dominated by fossil energy. The greenhouse gases emitted by its combustion pose a serious threat to the environment and climate. Against this background, renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy has developed rapidly. However, with the sharp increase in the installed capacity and grid - connected capacity of renewable - energy power generation, while the grid - bearing capacity faces huge challenges, the problems of wind and light curtailment and the reduction of new - energy utilization rate have become more and more serious. Hydrogen energy, with its advantages such as flexibility, high energy density, rich sources, long - term storage, and cross - space transportation, has gradually become an energy carrier that has attracted much attention. To achieve the effective coordination (electro - hydrogen coupling) between hydrogen energy and the existing power system, relevant technical personnel have proposed the concept of a multi - energy - flow coupling system.
[0004] However, existing electro - hydrogen coupling technologies, such as water electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells, still mainly rely on noble - metal catalysts (such as platinum - based catalysts and iridium - based catalysts). Such catalyst materials are scarce, expensive, and have unsatisfactory electro - catalytic efficiency. In addition, the existing multi - energy - flow coupling systems fail to fully reflect the flexibility of electro - hydrogen coupling technology during the modeling process and cannot fully explore the potential of electro - hydrogen coupling technology in solving the problems of wind and light curtailment. It can be seen that the above - mentioned technical bottlenecks restrict the deep integration of hydrogen energy and the existing power system. Therefore, how to improve the catalytic efficiency of existing electro - hydrogen coupling technologies, while carrying out refined modeling of electro - hydrogen coupling technologies, fully reflecting the flexibility of electro - hydrogen coupling technologies, and realizing the efficient collaborative planning of multi - energy - flow coupling systems has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0032] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
[0033] Without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0034] Embodiment 1
[0035] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment proposes a method for optimizing the capacity of a multi-energy flow coupling system based on efficient electro-hydrogen catalysis, and specifically adopts the following technical solutions:
[0036] S1. A technology for improving the catalytic efficiency of energy conversion devices (water electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells).
[0037] Renewable energy drives the water electrolyzer to decompose water into high-purity hydrogen and oxygen, converting the energy contained in renewable energy into chemical energy. Subsequently, the hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen for an electrochemical reaction to resynthesize water and release electrical energy, thereby realizing the further conversion of chemical energy in hydrogen into electrical energy. This process is completely independent of fossil fuels and effectively avoids the carbon emission problem in traditional energy conversion. Therefore, the renewable energy-water-hydrogen energy system provides an important technical path for promoting the low-carbon transformation of the existing energy system.
[0038] The processes of hydrogen production by the water electrolyzer and power generation by the hydrogen fuel cell both depend on four electrode electrochemical reactions occurring on the catalyst surface, as specifically shown in the following equations:
[0039] Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic electrolyte:
[0040] ;
[0041] Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolyte:
[0042] ;
[0043] Hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in acidic electrolyte:
[0044] ;
[0045] Hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in alkaline electrolyte:
[0046] ;
[0047] To achieve effective catalysis of four electrochemical reactions, it is necessary to overcome a relatively high energy barrier. Taking the water splitting reaction in a water electrolyzer as an example, under ideal conditions, the Gibbs free energy change of the water splitting reaction is 237.2 kJ mol-1, and the driving potential is 1.23 V. However, in the actual reaction process, due to factors such as ohmic resistance, concentration difference resistance, and activation resistance, the reaction requires an additional potential to break the H-O covalent bond in water molecules to drive the reaction.
[0048] Further analyzing these three types of resistances, the ohmic resistance mainly comes from the hindrance of the cathode and anode materials and external wires to the transmission of electron flow, as well as the hindrance of the electrolyte to the transmission of ion flow. This problem can be effectively addressed by improving the conductivity of the electrode materials and electrolytes, or reducing the distance between the two electrodes.
[0049] The concentration difference resistance can be reduced by increasing the pressure of gaseous reactants or the concentration of liquid electrolytes. Therefore, the ohmic resistance and concentration difference resistance mainly depend on the selection of electrode materials and electrolytes and the operating conditions of the equipment. More than 60% of the energy barriers in electrochemical reactions come from the activation resistance, which makes the catalytic performance of the catalyst particularly crucial for promoting the electrochemical reaction kinetics process.
[0050] However, the catalysts commonly used in current electrohydrogen coupling technologies are mostly noble metals, such as platinum group metals and iridium group metals. These precious metals are not only scarce in materials but also expensive in price, severely restricting the large-scale promotion and commercialization process of electrohydrogen coupling technologies. How to obtain a catalyst with cost-effectiveness and capable of effectively reducing the reaction activation energy has become an important challenge in the development of electrohydrogen coupling technologies.
[0051] In this embodiment, a composite catalyst is obtained by treating a transition metal catalyst through a combination of defect engineering and interface engineering, and a transition metal catalyst with competitiveness in terms of cost and catalytic performance is obtained to obtain a water electrolyzer and a hydrogen fuel cell with high catalytic performance, providing technical support for the efficient conversion and storage of new energy power generation. The transition metal catalysts are two transition metal catalysts of Fe and Ni with abundant reserves and environmental friendliness.
[0052] The specific process is as follows:
[0053] First, defect engineering breaks the long-range periodicity of the matrix by intentionally introducing irregular structures into the perfect lattices of Fe and Ni to optimize the electron distribution states within Fe and Ni. In this embodiment, defect engineering combines three-dimensional defects: vacancy defects, screw dislocations, and stacking faults to perturb the electron distribution within the Fe and Ni lattices. Specifically, vacancy defects belong to point defects, screw dislocations belong to line defects, and stacking faults belong to plane defects. The introduction of these three-dimensional defects effectively induces an additional energy band alignment between the catalyst and the reactants, thereby reducing the resistance of electron transfer and promoting the transfer and transport of electrons and charges during the electrochemical reaction process. At the same time, the introduction of three-dimensional defects shifts the d-band centers of Fe and Ni, changes the position of the energy center of gravity of the d-orbital electrons, promotes the interaction between the d-orbitals of the catalyst and the electron orbitals of the reactants, making it easier to form new bonds, and changes the binding energy of the key intermediates, thereby facilitating the adsorption and desorption of reaction intermediates. In addition, the combination of three-dimensional defects significantly reduces the band gap of the Fe and Ni electrocatalysts, reduces the energy barrier for electrons to jump from the valence band to the conduction band, makes the electrons in the d-orbitals of the Fe and Ni catalysts more likely to participate in the electrode reaction, improves the electron conduction efficiency, and promotes the kinetic process of the electrochemical reaction. Finally, the introduction of defects changes the structure of the Fe and Ni lattices, exposes more active sites, increases the density of active sites, and effectively improves the intrinsic activity of the transition metal catalyst.
[0054] Second, the introduction of three-dimensional defects respectively improves the electrocatalytic activities of the Fe and Ni transition metal catalysts. In this embodiment, based on defect engineering, interface engineering is introduced to further optimize the catalytic performance of the electrohydrogen coupling technology from different perspectives. In this embodiment, interface engineering uses chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to transport the Fe and Ni precursors treated by defect engineering and N2 to the surface of the substrate together. The high temperature of nearly 1000 °C promotes the decomposition and deposition of the Fe and Ni precursors on the surface of the substrate, thereby forming a multi-layered porous Fe-Ni heterogeneous structure (HS).
[0055] Since both Fe and Ni have unfilled d electron orbitals and unpaired electrons, they have a relatively high electron density, which can provide sufficient electron sites to interact with the electron clouds of reactants or key reaction intermediates and form coordination bonds with them, thereby optimizing the adsorption energy and desorption energy during the reaction process and promoting the electron flow between reactants and products. More importantly, due to the differences in the energy band arrangements and electronegativities between different crystal phases of Fe and Ni, the electron modulation on the surface of the Fe-Ni heterostructure is induced, forming an obvious electron effect; and when the atomic orbitals of Fe and Ni form a heterointerface, they will overlap and collide with each other, resulting in the mutual filling of bonding states and antibonding states and forming interface bonds, which inevitably affects the local arrangement of electrons; at the same time, since the lattice constants of Fe and Ni are not exactly the same, lattice strain will occur at the heterointerface during the quasi-growth of the crystal, directly interfering with the geometric structure and coordination environment of the active sites. In summary, the electron effect, interface bonding, lattice strain, and synergistic effect caused by interface engineering all optimize the electron arrangement of the active sites and the Fermi level of the catalyst to varying degrees, increase the specific surface area of the catalyst, significantly improve the intrinsic activity and conductivity of the transition metal catalyst, and increase the density of active sites.
[0056] Finally, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the electrolyte reaction from occurring on the surface of the Fe-Ni heterostructure in acid / alkali electrolytes, resulting in the dissolution and agglomeration of the active components, passivating the catalyst and reducing its lifespan, this embodiment uses the solvothermal synthesis method to coat a carbon material coating on the surface of the Fe-Ni heterostructure, effectively preventing the oxidative corrosion of the Fe-Ni composite catalyst in strong acid or strong alkali environments, ensuring the high activity and stability of the Fe-Ni heterostructure, and extending its lifespan.
[0057] S2. Use the above composite catalyst in a water electrolyzer and a hydrogen fuel cell, and respectively construct refined models of the water electrolyzer and the hydrogen fuel cell.
[0058] After using the modified Fe-Ni composite catalyst in the water electrolyzer and the hydrogen fuel cell, the output performance of the electro-hydrogen coupling technology has been greatly improved, and the electro-hydrogen and hydrogen-electric conversion efficiencies have been significantly improved, thereby obtaining an electro-hydrogen coupling technology with high catalytic performance.
[0059] First, the output characteristic model of the water electrolyzer is shown as follows:
[0060] ;
[0061] In the formula, represents the hourly driving electric power required for the nth water electrolyzer; represents the rated power of the nth water electrolyzer; Represents the minimum limit for the operation of the nth type of water electrolysis cell; n represents the type of water electrolysis cell, and there are N types of water electrolysis cells in the present invention.
[0062] ;
[0063] In the formula, Represents the hourly hydrogen production of the nth type of water electrolysis cell; Represents the electro-hydrogen conversion efficiency of the nth type of water electrolysis cell; Represents the lower heating value of hydrogen.
[0064] Secondly, the output characteristic model of the hydrogen fuel cell is shown as follows:
[0065] ;
[0066] In the formula, Represents the hourly electricity production of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell; Represents the hourly hydrogen consumption of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell; Represents the hydrogen-electric conversion efficiency of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell; m represents the type of hydrogen fuel cell, and there are M types of hydrogen fuel cells in total.
[0067] ;
[0068] In the formula, Represents the hourly heat production of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell; Represents the heat conversion efficiency of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell; Represents the dissipation rate of the mth type of hydrogen fuel cell.
[0069] Next, this embodiment fully demonstrates the flexibility of the water electrolysis cell and the hydrogen fuel cell, as shown specifically in the following formula:
[0070] ;
[0071] , ;
[0072] In the formula, Represents the online capacity of the water electrolysis cell or the hydrogen fuel cell t at time Represents the startup capacity of the water electrolysis cell or the hydrogen fuel cell t at time Represents the shutdown capacity of the water electrolysis cell or the hydrogen fuel cell t at time Represents the total investment capacity of the water electrolysis cell or the hydrogen fuel cell; Represents N types of water electrolysis cells and M types of hydrogen fuel cells.
[0073] ;
[0074] In the formula, represents the real-time power consumption / power generation of the water electrolysis cell or hydrogen fuel cell t at a certain moment; , respectively represent the output lower limit and output upper limit of the water electrolysis cell or hydrogen fuel cell.
[0075] ;
[0076] ;
[0077] In the formula, , respectively represent the start-up ramp limit and shutdown ramp limit of the water electrolysis cell or hydrogen fuel cell; , respectively represent the up-ramp limit and down-ramp limit of the water electrolysis cell or hydrogen fuel cell.
[0078] ;
[0079] ;
[0080] In the formula, , respectively represent the minimum start-up time and minimum shutdown time of the water electrolysis cell or hydrogen fuel cell; T represents the total planned time.
[0081] In this embodiment, there are three types of water electrolysis cells, namely: alkaline water electrolyzer (AEL), proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMEL), and solid oxide water electrolyzer (SOEL); there are four types of hydrogen fuel cells, namely: alkaline hydrogen fuel cell (AFC), proton exchange membrane hydrogen fuel cell (PEMFC), solid oxide hydrogen fuel cell (SOFC), and molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC).
[0082] In summary, the output characteristic model and flexibility characterization model of the electric-hydrogen coupling technology are constructed in this embodiment, and the electric-hydrogen conversion efficiency is reflected in the models. And the significant improvement of the hydrogen-electric conversion efficiency effectively reduces the efficiency differences among the three types of water electrolyzers and the four types of hydrogen fuel cells, and further highlights the differences in flexibility constraints such as the minimum start / stop time and ramp limit caused by factors such as the operating temperature of different water electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells. Through the in-depth characterization of the flexibility differences of different devices, the present invention further proposes a strategy for device selection in different working scenarios, that is, according to the performance of various water electrolyzers and hydrogen fuel cells under different working conditions, evaluate their adaptability, and select the device type that best matches the specific scenario according to the flexibility requirements of the system. This selection process not only optimizes the device configuration, gives full play to the efficiency advantages of the electric-hydrogen coupling device, but also ensures the reliability and stability of the system under various operating conditions.
[0083] S3. Establishment of a multi-energy flow coupling and collaborative optimization architecture.
[0084] To ensure the efficient operation of the multi-energy flow coupling system and give full play to the synergistic effect among heterogeneous energies, the system also needs to include various energy storage technologies and other energy conversion technologies, etc., to ensure the operation stability and energy supply reliability of the multi-energy flow coupling system. Therefore, in this embodiment, a multi-energy flow coupling model is constructed based on the refined model of the aforementioned electric-hydrogen coupling technology combined with energy storage devices, and a multi-energy flow coupling collaborative optimization architecture is established with reserve, carbon emission, renewable energy quota standard, and real-time balance of electric, heat, and hydrogen supply and demand power as constraints and minimizing the annual total cost as the goal.

[0089] As Figure 2 shown, to ensure the reliability of the multi - energy - flow coupling system, it is necessary to integrate multiple energy storage devices in the system, such as hydrogen storage vessels (HSV), thermal storage tanks (TST), and battery energy storage (BES), to better cope with the volatility of renewable energy, give full play to their regulating role, ensure the supply - demand balance at any time, stabilize the system output, and further enhance the robustness of the system in the face of source - load disturbances.

[0120] In addition, to ensure that the multi-energy flow coupling system can still maintain the supply-demand balance when the winter heat load demand is large, an electro-thermal device is introduced into the system, and its model is as follows:

[0123] In addition, when the hydrogen generated by the water electrolyzer enters the hydrogen storage tank, in order to maximize the hydrogen storage density within a limited volume, the hydrogen storage tank needs to compress the hydrogen.
