Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of new energy and energy storage technologies, hydrogen production, and carbon capture and storage technologies. Specifically, it is a heat storage system and control method that couples new energy, hydrogen production, and decarbonization, which is used to optimize the electro-thermal conversion and storage of renewable energy, improve the thermal management efficiency of the hydrogen storage system, and provide stable thermal energy support for the decarbonization process, thereby enhancing the overall energy efficiency and economy of the hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, and carbon capture systems. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy is an effective "green" energy consumption carrier, and its large-scale production mainly relies on electrolysis water technology. Currently, the process of producing green hydrogen is to drive the electrolytic cell to work with the electric energy generated by renewable power plants to achieve hydrogen production. Due to the intermittency of renewable power plants, a hydrogen storage system is often required to alleviate the instability of the hydrogen production process. The production of green hydrogen can not only promote the development of the energy structure towards low-carbon and sustainable directions but also effectively improve the consumption capacity of renewable energy.

[0003] The storage of hydrogen usually includes methods such as high-pressure hydrogen storage, cryogenic liquid hydrogen storage, and solid-state hydrogen storage. Among them, solid-state hydrogen storage has received extensive attention in recent years due to its high safety, large hydrogen storage density, and other advantages. In the process of solid-state hydrogen storage, materials such as metal hydrides store hydrogen inside the material through a hydrogen absorption reaction, and when hydrogen needs to be released, the hydrogen is released again through a hydrogen desorption reaction. However, the hydrogen storage system has two thermochemical conversion processes of hydrogen storage / desorption, and the heat demand during the conversion process is strong. Once the heat generated during the hydrogen storage / desorption process cannot be reasonably utilized, there will be a problem of low supply utilization rate of the hydrogen storage system, which not only wastes resources but also affects the stability of the overall hydrogen production system and the flexibility of consuming renewable energy.

[0004] At the same time, in the industrial production process, the carbon dioxide capture and storage technology also faces problems such as high energy consumption and high cost. Especially when using the adsorption method for decarbonization, the regeneration process of the adsorbent requires a large amount of thermal energy. The traditional method is to use fossil energy to provide heat sources, which not only increases the operating cost but also generates additional carbon emissions, contrary to the emission reduction goal. In addition, there is a significant spatio-temporal mismatch between the power generation characteristics of renewable energy and the electricity load. During the low electricity consumption period, a large amount of renewable energy electricity cannot be consumed in time, resulting in the phenomenon of abandoning wind and light. During the high electricity consumption period, traditional thermal power is needed to meet the electricity demand, which seriously affects the economy and system efficiency of renewable energy.

[0005] In the prior art, for example, the Chinese invention patent application CN119298154A discloses a comprehensive energy system integrating new energy power generation and electric-hydrogen hybrid energy storage. The system converts methane into hydrogen through a methane cracking hydrogen production device, and uses fuel cells and micro gas turbines to generate electricity, while combining power storage, heat storage and hydrogen storage units to achieve multi-energy complementarity. However, the system relies on methane cracking to produce hydrogen, does not use a heat storage system to solve the thermal management problem of the hydrogen storage system, and does not incorporate the decarbonization process into the system, which limits its overall energy utilization efficiency and carbon reduction potential.

[0006] In summary, existing technologies have certain limitations in green hydrogen preparation, thermal management of hydrogen storage systems, thermal energy supply of decarbonization systems, and conversion of new energy power and thermal energy. Therefore, how to build an efficient thermal storage system that can be coupled with renewable energy, hydrogen storage systems, and decarbonization processes to achieve efficient storage and utilization of thermal energy is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the current field of hydrogen energy preparation and decarbonization.

At the same time, the heat storage unit can utilize new energy electricity for thermal energy storage, provide the heat energy required for adsorbent regeneration during the decarbonization process, and improve the efficiency of carbon capture and storage. In addition, the system can adaptively adjust the power supply mode and energy conversion mode according to environmental information, realize the cascade utilization of heat demand for hydrogen storage and decarbonization regeneration, thereby improving the efficiency of hydrogen production, decarbonization and the utilization rate of renewable energy, reducing the power load of the hydrogen storage unit and decarbonization work, enhancing the stability of the system's cyclic heating supply, and storing electric energy during the valley electricity price period of the power grid, thereby improving the installed capacity utilization rate and economic benefits.

[0011] (2) The present invention uses new energy power to drive electrolytic water hydrogen production, and converts part of the electric energy into heat energy through an electric heating device or other energy conversion equipment and stores it in the heat storage unit. During the peak period of electricity demand, the dynamic distribution of heat energy reduces the additional load on the power grid.
