Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an optimization regulation method for hydrogen production from renewable energy, belonging to the technical field of hydrogen production. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in order to reduce the energy consumption in hydrogen production, using renewable energy to provide power supply for hydrogen production equipment has gradually become the current main development trend. However, in actual production work, during the operation of renewable energy equipment, its power generation, heat generation and other working efficiencies are extremely susceptible to factors such as the natural environment, the source of renewable resources, and the operating status of production equipment, resulting in a large impact on its power generation and heat generation working efficiencies and stabilities, thus affecting the working efficiency of hydrogen production operations and the stability of gas production. At the same time, the hydrogen production capacity is also affected by market demand, and it is also prone to contradictions between market demand and the operating efficiency of hydrogen production equipment and the power generation and heat generation efficiencies of renewable energy, thus easily causing supply-demand contradictions such as excessive hydrogen production capacity or the inability of hydrogen production capacity to effectively meet market demand. In response to this problem, there is currently no effective production scheduling method for synergistically regulating the three core factors of hydrogen production efficiency, renewable energy supply efficiency, and market fluctuations, resulting in poor precision in current hydrogen production control and regulation, seriously affecting the costs, stabilities, and reliabilities of hydrogen production and supply operations.

[0003] In response to this problem, there is an urgent need to develop an optimization regulation method for hydrogen production from renewable energy to meet the needs of actual work. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, during operation, it can also effectively improve the recycling efficiency of energy, thus greatly reducing production costs, improving the comprehensive utilization rate of resources, and improving the stability and continuity of the operation of production equipment.

At the same time, collect the overall efficiency and production capacity requirements for hydrogen production needed in the production. Then, select the types and power generation efficiencies of the renewable energy equipment participating in the hydrogen production operation. At the same time, collect the structural data of the hydrogen production site. Finally, on the one hand, calculate the minimum energy demand to ensure stable hydrogen production based on the operating parameters and theoretical hydrogen production of the hydrogen generator equipment; on the other hand, count and calculate the minimum and maximum power supply amounts of each renewable energy equipment under extreme conditions, and calculate the average power supply amount. S2.
