[0048] The emergency power supply system of a nuclear power plant is a key guarantee for the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Its main function is to quickly start and provide emergency power when both the main power supply and the auxiliary power supply fail, ensuring the safe shutdown of the reactor and the normal operation of the cooling system to prevent equipment damage. In related technologies, emergency diesel generators are usually used as emergency power supplies in nuclear power plants. To solve the technical problems existing in the traditional emergency diesel generator system in the prior art, the present application provides a power supply and a power supply system that can be used as an emergency power supply for a nuclear power plant to provide emergency power supply, and can improve the reliability and environmental protection performance during power generation.

[0049] In a first aspect, Figure 1A power supply 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 and a hybrid hydrogen storage module. The hybrid hydrogen storage module includes a first hydrogen storage device 21 and a second hydrogen storage device 22. The first hydrogen storage device 21 and the second hydrogen storage device 22 store hydrogen respectively and are connected to the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 respectively. The first hydrogen storage device 21 and the second hydrogen storage device 22 can supply hydrogen to the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1. After the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 obtains hydrogen, a chemical reaction occurs, and the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy to achieve the purpose of power generation.

[0050] The reaction product of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 is water, without waste gas emission, which has an environmental protection effect. At the same time, there is no mechanical rotation part in the power generation using the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1, and the failure rate is low. At the same time, in the present application, the first hydrogen storage device 21 and the second hydrogen storage device 22 are provided. In an emergency, the first hydrogen storage device 21 releases hydrogen to supply electrical energy to the hydrogen fuel cell. After a period of time, the second hydrogen storage device 22 releases hydrogen to continue to supply electrical energy to the hydrogen fuel cell. In this way, the first hydrogen storage device 21 can achieve rapid response to achieve timely power supply, and the second hydrogen storage device 22 is set to continuously supply hydrogen, which can extend the power supply time. The present application overcomes the technical problems existing in the traditional emergency diesel generator system and improves the reliability and environmental protection performance.

[0051] A fuel cell is an electrochemically powered device that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy without going through a heat engine process and is not restricted by the Carnot cycle. Therefore, the energy conversion efficiency is high and there is no pollution.

[0052] The hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 of the present application uses a hydrogen fuel cell for power generation. The core principle of the hydrogen fuel cell is the reverse reaction of water electrolysis. Hydrogen is oxidized at the anode (positive electrode) to generate hydrogen ions (protons) and electrons. The electrons flow through the external circuit to the cathode (negative electrode), while the hydrogen ions reach the cathode through the electrolyte membrane. At the cathode, the hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to form water and release heat energy. The potential difference generated in this process drives the external circuit, thereby generating electrical energy. Refer to Figure 1 , the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 includes a second air compressor 14 to provide the required oxygen for the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1.

[0053] During the operation of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1, the heat generated is equivalent to the electrical energy. The excessively high temperature generated by the heat will cause the performance of the fuel cell stack to decline and shorten the service life. To solve this problem, the present application further includes a heat exchange system 4. The heat exchange system 4 is connected to the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 and is used to dissipate heat from the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1. Refer to Figure 1, in this embodiment, the heat exchange system 4 includes a cooling tower 41. The water outlet pipe of the cooling tower 41 is connected to the water inlet end of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 through a pipeline, and the water inlet end of the cooling tower 41 is connected to the water outlet end of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 through a pipeline. In this way, heat dissipation of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 is achieved through water circulation.

[0054] In this application, hydrogen is stored separately by the first hydrogen storage device 21 and the second hydrogen storage device 22. As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, both the first hydrogen storage device 21 and the second hydrogen storage device 22 adopt solid-state hydrogen storage technology; solid-state hydrogen storage technology is a technology that stores hydrogen by adsorbing or binding hydrogen with solid materials, and has advantages such as high density, high safety, and low energy consumption. Hydrogen cannot be directly converted into a solid state, but hydrogen can be stored through a solid material as an intermediate medium. There are various solid materials used to store hydrogen, usually metal and carbon-based materials. These materials need to have two characteristics, one is the hydrogenophilic characteristic, and the other is the porous characteristic or more vacancies in the molecular structure. These two characteristics help the material to "absorb hydrogen" and "release hydrogen" smoothly, thus realizing hydrogen storage and hydrogen release. The storage and release of hydrogen include two technical directions: one is physical adsorption and release, and the other is chemical adsorption and release. Physical adsorption mainly uses the high specific surface area of porous materials to adsorb hydrogen molecules on the surface. Chemical adsorption is that hydrogen combines with other elements through ionic bonds or covalent bonds to form materials such as metal hydrides. These materials usually release hydrogen under heating conditions.

[0055] In this embodiment, the temperature required for the first hydrogen storage device 21 to release hydrogen is lower than the temperature required for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen. In this way, when the power supply 100 of this application is started, especially in an emergency situation, the first hydrogen storage device 21 can be used in the initial stage of the emergency, and the second hydrogen storage device 22 can be used in the middle and later stages of the emergency. Among them, the first hydrogen storage device 21 can quickly reach the temperature condition for releasing hydrogen, and can quickly provide hydrogen for the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 in time for the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 to generate electricity to meet the power supply required for emergency loads. And the second hydrogen storage device 22 can provide hydrogen for the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 after the first hydrogen storage device 21 to extend the power generation time of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a hydrogen release valve 23 is provided on the connection pipeline between the second hydrogen storage device 22 and the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1. It can be understood that by controlling the opening and closing of the hydrogen release valve 23, the timing of the second hydrogen storage device 22 providing hydrogen for the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 can be controlled.

[0057] To improve safety, the hydrogen release valve 23 is electrically connected to the control system of the control cabinet 400. The control system is also set to control the opening of the hydrogen release valve 23 after a preset time when the emergency power supply 100 is started, or the operator can issue an instruction to the control system according to the actual situation to control the opening timing of the hydrogen release valve 23.

[0058] In the technical solution of this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the first hydrogen storage device 21 uses a titanium-manganese alloy for hydrogen storage; the principle of titanium-manganese alloy hydrogen storage is based on its reversible reaction with hydrogen to form metal hydrides. Specifically, the titanium-manganese alloy can absorb a large amount of hydrogen at a certain temperature and pressure to form titanium-manganese hydride. When hydrogen needs to be released, the hydride can be decomposed by heating and pressurization to release hydrogen. The titanium-manganese alloy material supports the rapid release of high-flow hydrogen to meet emergency load requirements.

[0059] In this application, the temperature required for the first hydrogen storage device 21 to release hydrogen is not high. Thus, to achieve reasonable utilization of thermal energy, in this application, a three-way valve 42 is provided on the connecting pipeline between the water inlet end of the cooling tower 41 and the water outlet end of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1. The water inlet end of the first hydrogen storage device 21 is connected to the three-way valve 42, and the water outlet end of the first hydrogen storage device 21 is connected to the water inlet end of the cooling tower 41. Thus, through the three-way valve 42, the water that absorbs the heat of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 can be introduced into the first hydrogen storage device 21 for heat exchange to provide the temperature conditions required for the first hydrogen storage device 21 to release hydrogen, and the water that has completed heat exchange then returns to the cooling tower 41. Exemplarily, when the titanium-manganese alloy releases hydrogen, it absorbs the heat of the cooling water from the three-way valve 42 of the cooling tower inlet pipeline, and the hydrogen release temperature is normal temperature, about 20 °C.

[0060] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the heat exchange system 4 may not be connected to the first hydrogen storage device 21, but the first hydrogen storage device 21 may be connected to other heat sources.

[0061] In the technical solution of this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the second hydrogen storage device 22 uses magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage. The magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage technology is a technology that uses magnesium alloy as a hydrogen storage material to achieve hydrogen storage and release through physical adsorption and chemical reactions. The working principle of the magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage alloy is based on the chemical reaction between magnesium and hydrogen. When the magnesium alloy comes into contact with hydrogen, magnesium absorbs hydrogen and forms a stable hydride MgH2. When the stored hydrogen needs to be released, magnesium hydride can be decomposed into magnesium and hydrogen by heating or pressurization, etc. The magnesium-based hydrogen storage material has a low cost and a large hydrogen storage density, and can release hydrogen under high-temperature conditions (300 - 400 °C).

[0062] The second hydrogen storage device 22 releases hydrogen under high-temperature conditions. Thus, the hydrogen discharged from the second hydrogen storage device 22 is also at a high temperature. If the high-temperature hydrogen directly enters the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1, the excessive temperature will cause a decline in the performance of the fuel cell stack and shorten its service life. Therefore, to avoid the excessive temperature of the hydrogen entering the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1, it is necessary to cool down the hydrogen discharged from the second hydrogen storage device 22. For example, Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, it further includes a hydrogen cooler, which is connected to the hydrogen release valve 23 and is used to cool down the hydrogen passing through the hydrogen release valve 23.

[0063] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe of the cooling tower 41 of the heat exchange system 4 is connected to the water inlet end of the hydrogen cooler, and the water inlet end of the cooling tower 41 is connected to the water outlet end of the hydrogen cooler. The cooling water provided by the cooling tower 41 is used to cool down the hydrogen passing through the hydrogen release valve 23.

[0064] In another embodiment, an independent cooling water supply device can also be set up. The hydrogen cooler is connected to the cooling water supply device, and heat dissipation and temperature reduction are achieved through circulating water.

[0065] For example Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, it further includes a hydrogen storage tank 24. The hydrogen outlet end of the hydrogen storage tank 24 is connected to the hydrogen inlet end of the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1; the hydrogen outlet end of the first hydrogen storage device 21 is connected to the hydrogen inlet end of the hydrogen storage tank 24; the second hydrogen storage device 22 is connected to the hydrogen inlet end of the hydrogen storage tank 24, and a hydrogen release valve 23 is provided on the connection pipeline between the second hydrogen storage device 22 and the hydrogen storage tank 24.

[0066] It can be understood that by setting up the hydrogen storage tank 24, the hydrogen entering the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 can be cached, so that the hydrogen entering the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 is more stable and balanced.

[0067] For example Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, it further includes a heating device 3, which is connected to the second hydrogen storage device 22; the heating device 3 is used to provide the temperature required for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen. Thus, the heating device 3 can provide the high temperature required for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen.

[0068] For example Figure 1As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the heating device 3 includes a heat conduction furnace 31 and a fuel storage 32. The flue gas discharge end of the heat conduction furnace 31 is connected to the flue gas inlet end of the second hydrogen storage device 22; the discharge end of the fuel storage 32 is connected to the feed end of the heat conduction furnace 31, and the fuel storage 32 supplies fuel to the heat conduction furnace 31. The heat conduction furnace 31 burns fuel to generate heat required for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen.

[0069] Combustion of fuel in the heat conduction furnace 31 requires air, and a first air compressor 34 may be connected to the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31.

[0070] In some embodiments, the temperature of the flue gas generated by the combustion of the heat conduction furnace 31 can reach the temperature required for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen, and the flue gas is discharged from the flue gas discharge end of the heat conduction furnace to the second hydrogen storage and release device. That is, after the gas enters the heat conduction furnace 31 from the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31, it takes away the heat generated by the combustion of the fuel in the heat conduction furnace 31 and is discharged from the flue gas discharge end of the heat conduction furnace 31 to the second hydrogen storage device 22.

[0071] In one embodiment, the fuel storage 32 stores liquid fuel, and the heat conduction furnace 31 can adopt a liquid fuel heat conduction oil furnace. Heat is generated by burning liquid fuel (such as coal, heavy oil, light oil, combustible gas, etc.), and heat conduction oil is used as a heat carrier to transfer heat energy to the gas entering the heat conduction furnace 31. The heated high-temperature gas enters the second hydrogen storage device 22 to provide high-temperature conditions for the second hydrogen storage device 22 to release hydrogen.

[0072] In the technical solution of this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , the water inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31 is connected to the water outlet end of the cooling tower 41, and the water outlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31 is connected to the water inlet end of the cooling tower 41. In this way, the waste heat generated by the heat conduction furnace 31 can be taken out by the cooling water of the cooling tower 41.

[0073] It should be noted that the heat conduction furnace 31 can also be connected to an independent cooling device to achieve the purpose of taking out the waste heat generated by the heat conduction furnace 31 through the cooling water of the cooling tower 41.

[0074] Such as Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, an air preheater 33 is further included. The flue gas discharge end of the second hydrogen storage device 22 is connected to the flue gas recovery end of the air preheater 33; the exhaust end of the air preheater 33 is connected to the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31;

[0075] Among them, air enters the air preheater 33 from the air inlet end of the air preheater 33, exchanges heat with the flue gas entering from the flue gas recovery end of the air preheater 33, and then is discharged from the exhaust end of the air preheater 33 to the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 , an air preheater 33 is provided between the air compressor and the heat conduction furnace 31. The air preheater 33 preheats the air by recovering the waste heat of the flue gas, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the heat conduction furnace 31 and optimizing the combustion process.

[0077] To ensure the pressure balance of the air preheater 33, a vent valve is provided on the air preheater 33, which can be opened in time to discharge the air in the air preheater 33.

[0078] Such as Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the flue gas discharge end of the second hydrogen storage device 22 is connected to the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31;

[0079] Among them, a part of the flue gas discharged from the flue gas discharge end of the second hydrogen storage device 22 is mixed with the air discharged from the exhaust end of the air preheater 33 and then enters the heat conduction furnace 31 from the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31.

[0080] It can be understood that a part of the flue gas after heat exchange with the second hydrogen storage device 22 enters the air preheater 33 to preheat the air, and the other part returns to the heat conduction furnace 31 to form a heat conduction loop.

[0081] Reference Figure 1 , in the technical solution of this embodiment, to enable the smooth operation of the flue gas, a fan 35 is provided on the connection pipeline between the flue gas discharge end of the second hydrogen storage device 22 and the air inlet end of the heat conduction furnace 31. In this embodiment, this fan 35 is a high-temperature fan 35 and can withstand high temperatures.

[0082] Such as Figure 1 shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the hydrogen fuel cell power generation module 1 includes a hydrogen fuel cell device 11, a DC converter 12, and a power conversion system 13. The hydrogen inlet end of the hydrogen fuel cell device 11 is connected to the hydrogen outlet end of the hybrid hydrogen storage module; the current output end of the hydrogen fuel cell device 11 is connected to the current input end of the DC converter 12; the input end of the power conversion system 13 is connected to the voltage output end of the DC converter 12, and the power conversion system 13 outputs alternating current.

[0083] It is understandable that the hydrogen fuel cell device 11 has a hydrogen fuel cell that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The direct current generated by the hydrogen fuel cell device 11 is converted into a stable voltage by the DC converter 12, and then the power conversion system 13 converts the direct current into alternating current.
