The anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is connected to the reactor 63 or the burner 3; The reactor 63 is provided with an ammonia decomposition pipeline and a heating gas pipeline which are mutually attached. The ammonia decomposition pipeline is connected to the ammonia tank 61; The heat of the gas flowing in the heating gas pipeline can be transferred to the ammonia in the ammonia decomposition pipeline; The components connected to the outlet of the heating gas pipeline and the components connected to the outlet of the ammonia decomposition pipeline are different;
[0023] The hydrogenation unit 7 includes a first adsorption device 71 and a hydrogenation mechanism. The first adsorption device 71 is connected to the hydrogenation mechanism. The heating gas pipeline of the reactor 63 is connected to the first adsorption device 71, the burner 3, or the waste heat recovery unit 5. The ammonia decomposition pipeline of the reactor is connected to the first adsorption device 71 or the burner 3. The gas discharged from the first adsorption device 71 enters the hydrogenation mechanism. The burner 3 is connected to the waste heat recovery unit 5, and the waste heat recovery unit 5 is in thermal communication with the solar thermal unit 1.
[0024] In Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the solar thermal unit 1 includes a collector 11, a heat storage tank 12, a vaporizer 13, and a steam turbine 14. The collector 11 is interconnected with the heat storage tank 12. The heat storage tank 12 is interconnected with the vaporizer 13. The vaporizer is directly connected to the steam turbine 14. The collector 11 communicates with an external light source and can concentrate the heat of the external light source inside the collector 11 and transfer it to the heat transfer medium inside the collector 11, such as molten salt, gas, or other liquid media, to achieve heating of the heat transfer medium in the collector 11 and collection of external heat. The heat transfer medium in the collector 11 then flows into the heat storage tank 12. The heat storage tank 12 includes a hot tank and a cold tank arranged in parallel. The hot tank is connected to the collector 11 and the vaporizer 13. The cold tank is connected to the collector 11 and the vaporizer 13. The heated heat transfer medium discharged from the collector 11 enters the heat storage tank 12 for heat storage. After sufficient heat is stored in the heat storage tank 12, the heat-collected heat transfer medium is discharged from the heat storage tank 12 and introduced into the vaporizer 13 for further temperature increase and evaporation to raise the temperature of the heat transfer medium, forming a gas with a higher temperature. The vaporizer 13 is then connected to the steam turbine 14. The steam turbine 14 is electrically connected to the SOEC electrolyzer 2. The heated gas after vaporization enters the steam turbine 14 and drives the steam turbine 14 to operate. The steam turbine 14 generates electric current and supplies power to the SOEC electrolyzer 2.
[0025] The SOEC electrolyzer 2 is connected to the water supply unit 4. The water supply unit 4 includes a water tank 41 and a water pump 42. The water pump 42 is connected in series with the water tank 41. The water pump 42 can extract the liquid water in the water tank 41 and introduce it into the SOEC electrolyzer 2 for electrolysis. The SOEC electrolyzer 2 can electrolyze water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Specifically, an oxidation reaction occurs at the cathode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 to generate oxygen, and a reduction reaction occurs at the anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 to generate hydrogen. The cathode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is connected to the first heat exchanger 8, and the water pump 42 is also connected to the first heat exchanger 8. The first heat exchanger 8 can exchange heat between the oxygen discharged from the cathode outlet and the liquid water extracted from the water pump 42, increase the temperature of the liquid water entering the SOEC electrolyzer 2, thereby improving the efficiency of the electrolysis reaction in the SOEC electrolyzer 2, reducing the energy consumption in the system, and increasing the recycling rate of energy in the system. The first heat exchanger 8 is also connected to the burner 3 and the waste heat recovery unit 5. The electrolytically generated oxygen after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 8 enters the burner 3 for the combustion reaction in the burner 3 after being discharged from the first heat exchanger 8. The liquid water extracted from the water pump 42 after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 8 enters the waste heat recovery unit 5 to further absorb heat. The waste heat recovery unit 5 is then connected to the SOEC electrolyzer 2. The liquid water after heat exchange in the first heat exchanger 8 enters the SOEC electrolyzer 2 for subsequent heating and electrolysis after being further heated by the waste heat recovery unit 5, greatly improving the energy recovery efficiency during the operation of the system and facilitating the electrolysis reaction of the SOEC electrolyzer 2.
[0026] Wherein, the waste heat recovery unit 5 includes a waste heat recovery power generation set 51, a second heat exchanger 52 and a lithium battery 53. The second heat exchanger 52 is connected to the first heat exchanger 8 and the burner 3. The second heat exchanger 52 exchanges heat between the liquid water introduced from the first heat exchanger 8 and the gas after combustion in the burner 3, further increasing the temperature of the introduced liquid water. The liquid water after further heating is discharged from the second heat exchanger 52 and enters the SOEC electrolyzer 2 for electrolysis, improving the electrolysis efficiency of the SOEC electrolyzer 2. The waste heat recovery power generation set 51 is electrically connected to the lithium battery 53, and the electric energy generated during the operation of the waste heat recovery power generation set 51 is stored in the lithium battery 53 for use by subsequent components. The waste heat recovery power generation set 51 is further connected to the vaporizer 13. The liquid generated after the waste heat recovery power generation set 51 generates electricity is discharged from the waste heat recovery power generation set 51 and enters the vaporizer 13, where it exchanges heat with the heated heat conduction medium introduced from the heat storage device 12, further increasing the heat of the gas. Subsequently, it enters the steam turbine 14 for power generation of the steam turbine 14. After evaporation heat exchange, the cooled heat conduction medium is discharged from the vaporizer 13 and flows back to the cold tank of the heat storage device 12 for storage, and part of the heat conduction medium flows back from the cold tank to the collector 11 for continuous heating. In this way, the circulation flow of the heat conduction medium among the collector 11, the heat storage device 12 and the vaporizer 13 and the cyclic transfer of heat are achieved, and the collection and storage of external sunlight heat are realized, reducing the energy consumption of the system. Preferably, the steam turbine 14 is thermally connected to the waste heat recovery power generation set 51, and the heat generated during the power generation process of the steam turbine 14 can be transferred to the waste heat recovery power generation set 51 to improve the power generation efficiency of the waste heat recovery power generation set 51 and the temperature of the liquid generated by power generation, improving the energy recovery rate in the system.
[0027] An evaporator 62 is provided between the ammonia tank 61 and the reactor 63. The evaporator 62 is respectively connected to the ammonia tank 61 and the reactor 63. The liquid ammonia discharged from the ammonia tank 61 first passes through the heating and evaporation of the evaporator 62 to form ammonia gas, and the evaporated ammonia gas enters the reactor 63 for ammonia decomposition reaction; the reactor 63 includes an ammonia decomposition pipeline and a heating gas pipeline. The ammonia decomposition pipeline and the heating gas pipeline are arranged in mutual contact. The gas in the heating gas pipeline can be transferred to the ammonia gas in the ammonia decomposition pipeline to heat the ammonia gas and provide heat for ammonia decomposition; the inlet of the ammonia decomposition pipeline is connected to the evaporator 62, and the outlet of the ammonia decomposition pipeline is also connected to the evaporator 62. The decomposed gas discharged from the ammonia decomposition pipeline enters the evaporator 62 and provides heat for the evaporation of the gas in the evaporator 62 to heat the liquid ammonia entering from the ammonia tank 61 and promote the endothermic evaporation of the liquid ammonia; the evaporator 62 is externally connected to a water cooler 64. The decomposed gas after evaporation in the evaporator 62 is discharged from the evaporator 62 and first enters the water cooler 64 for cooling to reduce the influence and damage of high temperature on the subsequent adsorption device.
[0028] The first adsorption device 71 includes at least two groups of different and parallel adsorption columns. Valves are arranged at the heads and tails of the two adsorption columns in the first adsorption device 71, and the two adsorption columns are connected head to tail through the valves. By adjusting the valves at different positions, the flow direction of the gas in each adsorption column can be realized; thus, the adsorption of the gas by the adsorption columns inside the first adsorption device 71 and the self-desorption are carried out synchronously, improving the operation efficiency of the system; the first adsorption device 71 is further connected to the hydrogenation mechanism.
[0029] The hydrogenation mechanism includes a compressor 73, a refrigerator 74 and a filling machine 75. The compressor 73 is connected to the refrigerator 74, and the refrigerator 74 is further connected to the filling machine 75. The compressor 73 is connected to the first adsorption device 71. The gas adsorbed by the first adsorption device 71 enters the compressor 73 for compression, then enters the refrigerator 74 for cooling and temperature reduction, and finally enters the filling machine 75 for hydrogen filling; wherein, in order to balance the pressure of the gas during the filling process, preferably, a first buffer tank 76 is arranged between the compressor 73 and the first adsorption device 71, and a second buffer tank 77 is arranged between the compressor 73 and the refrigerator 74. The first buffer tank 76 and the second buffer tank 77 are jointly used to balance and regulate the gas adsorbed by the first adsorption device 71, improving the stability during hydrogen filling.
[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, during the daytime with strong sunlight, the collector 11 can absorb as much external heat as possible and use it to provide heat for the system. At this time, the heat collected in the system is mainly used for electrolytic hydrogen production in the SOEC electrolyzer 2. The waste heat recovery power generation unit 51 is directly connected to the second heat exchanger 52. The gas cooled by heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 52 enters the waste heat recovery power generation unit 51. The waste heat recovery power generation unit 51 can convert the heat of the gas after heat exchange from the second heat exchanger 52 into electric energy and store it, improving the electric energy reserve of the system during the daytime and the temperature of the liquid entering the vaporizer 13, which is beneficial to the gasification of the gas in the vaporizer 13 and the power generation efficiency of the subsequent steam turbine 14. The anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is connected to the heating gas pipeline of the reactor 63. The hydrogen generated by the reduction reaction during electrolysis at the anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is introduced into the reactor 63 and provides heat for the ammonia decomposition in the reactor 63. Specifically, the inlet of the heating gas pipeline of the reactor 63 is connected to the anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2, and the outlet of the heating gas pipeline of the reactor 63 is connected to the first adsorption device 71 or the burner 3. The mixed gas of hydrogen and water vapor discharged from the anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 enters the heating gas pipeline and exchanges heat with the ammonia in the ammonia decomposition pipeline arranged in close contact with the heating gas pipeline, heating the ammonia therein, causing the ammonia to decompose into hydrogen and nitrogen. After heating the ammonia, the heated hydrogen and water vapor are discharged from the heating gas pipeline and enter the first adsorption device 71 or the burner 3 for hydrogen purification or combustion.
[0031] When the outlet of the heating gas pipeline is connected to the burner 3, as Figure 1As shown, the outlet of the ammonia decomposition pipeline is connected to the first adsorption device 51. At this time, the gas containing water vapor in the heating gas pipeline enters the burner 3 for combustion. Since only hydrogen and a small amount of unreacted water vapor are contained in the gas at this time, a large amount of heat can be generated during the combustion process, improving the combustion efficiency of the system. The gas decomposed in the ammonia decomposition pipeline, that is, the gas containing hydrogen, nitrogen and a small amount of ammonia, enters the first adsorption device 71. To purify the gas more effectively and improve the purity of the finally filled hydrogen, preferably, a second adsorption device 72 is arranged between the first adsorption device 71 and the hydrogen filling mechanism. The first adsorption device 71 is used to adsorb the residual ammonia in the mixed gas, and the second adsorption device 72 is used to adsorb the nitrogen in the mixed gas. After repeated adsorption by the first adsorption device 71 and the second adsorption device 72, hydrogen with a higher purity is obtained and used for the filling of the subsequent filling machine. Thus, it realizes the synchronous progress of the system combustion to provide heat for the liquid water of the SOEC electrolyzer, lithium battery charging and high-purity hydrogen filling, effectively improving the system operation efficiency. Compared with the electrolytic water hydrogen production process of the same volume, a larger volume of hydrogen can be obtained through ammonia decomposition, effectively increasing the hydrogen filling amount of the system.
[0032] When the outlet of the heating gas pipeline is connected to the first adsorption device 71, as Figure 2 shown, the outlet of the ammonia decomposition pipeline is connected to the burner 3. At this time, the gas containing water vapor in the heating gas pipeline enters the first adsorption device 71 to adsorb the water vapor. The purified hydrogen enters the hydrogen filling mechanism, and after compression and cooling, the hydrogen filling is completed. The decomposition gas generated by the decomposition of ammonia in the ammonia decomposition pipeline is used for the combustion of the burner 3 and provides heat for the system. Thus, it realizes the synchronous progress of the system combustion to provide heat for the liquid water of the SOEC electrolyzer, lithium battery charging and high-purity hydrogen filling, effectively improving the system operation efficiency. Since only hydrogen is generated during the electrolytic water process, hydrogen with a higher purity can be obtained after the adsorption of water vapor, reducing the system's demand for gas purification and energy consumption.
[0033] As Figure 3As shown, in the evening or at night when sunlight is weak, due to the low light intensity or lack of light at this time, the heat stored during the day in the heat storage tank of the heat accumulator 12 serves as the heat source for the vaporizer 13 and the steam turbine 14. At this time, the waste heat recovery power generation unit 51 is separately arranged from the second heat exchanger 52. The second heat exchange device 52 is connected to the inlet of the heating gas pipeline of the reactor 3. The anode outlet of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is connected to the burner 3. The hydrogen gas generated at the anode outlet during the electrolysis of water by the SOEC electrolyzer directly enters the burner 3 for combustion. After combustion, it then enters the heating gas pipeline of the reactor 3 through the second heat exchanger 52. Since the external light intensity is weak and the heat is not high at this time, it is difficult to collect external heat for heating in the system. Therefore, the electrolysis efficiency of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 is lower than that during the day, so the heat generated during the electrolysis process of the SOEC electrolyzer 2 decreases. At this time, the hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis is burned by the burner 3 and then enters the reactor 3 for heating to compensate for the heat loss caused by the reduction of external heat, so that the ammonia gas in the reactor 63 can still absorb sufficient heat and decompose at night; compared with Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the system, the direct heat supply demand for ammonia decomposition to the SOEC electrolyzer is reduced; the outlet of the heating pipeline is connected to the waste heat recovery power generation unit 51; the heating gas after heating ammonia in the reactor 63 returns to the waste heat recovery power generation unit 51 after completing the heating of ammonia, compensates for the heat of the waste heat recovery power generation unit 51 and provides heat for the evaporation of the vaporizer 13, thereby increasing the heat of the gas entering the steam turbine 14 and ensuring the stable operation and power output of the steam turbine 14 to provide more electric energy for the electrolysis of the SOEC electrolyzer 2.
[0034] At this time, the ammonia decomposition pipeline in the reactor 63 is connected to the first adsorption device 71, and the first adsorption device 71 is further connected to the hydrogen addition mechanism. A second adsorption device 72 is arranged between the first adsorption device 71 and the hydrogen addition mechanism. After the mixed gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen obtained by decomposing ammonia gas passes through the adsorption of the first adsorption device 71 and the second adsorption device 72, high-purity hydrogen gas is obtained and used for refueling; the influence of the reduction of external energy on hydrogen production by electrolyzing water is reduced, so that the system can still produce high-purity hydrogen gas and be used for refueling under the condition of low external energy. Combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 the two system structures, the long-term stable operation of the system and the continuous refueling and production of high-purity hydrogen gas are realized.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
