[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1, with reference to Figures 1 to 5 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a hydrogen storage device that can ensure that hydrogen is fully mixed with combustion air when injected into the combustion system, while also preventing fire risks caused by backfire, which includes:

[0028] The storage component 100 includes a high-pressure tank 101. An air inlet pipe 102 is provided on the side of the high-pressure tank 101. An air outlet pipe 103 is provided on the side of the air inlet pipe 102. The air inlet pipe 102 is connected to the high-pressure tank 101, and the air outlet pipe 103 is connected to the high-pressure tank 101. The hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production equipment enters the high-pressure tank 101 through the air inlet pipe 102 for storage. When the hydrogen needs to be burned, the hydrogen is discharged from the high-pressure tank 101 through the air outlet pipe 103. A solenoid valve 104 is provided on the side of the air outlet pipe 103. The solenoid valve 104 can control the opening and closing of the air outlet pipe 103; and

[0029] The gas outlet component 200 can fully mix the combustion-supporting air and hydrogen when discharging hydrogen to ensure the combustion effect. At the same time, the gas outlet component 200 can also prevent the occurrence of backfire; and

[0030] The air suction component 300 draws the combustion-supporting air into the air outlet component 200 .

[0031] Specifically, the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production equipment enters the high-pressure tank 101 through the air inlet pipe 102 for storage. When the hydrogen needs to be burned, the hydrogen is discharged to the hydrogen combustion equipment through the gas outlet component 200. When discharging the hydrogen, the gas outlet component 200 will fully mix the combustion-supporting air and hydrogen to ensure the combustion effect. At the same time, the gas outlet component 200 can also prevent backfire.

[0032] Example 2, reference Figures 1 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a specific process of discharging hydrogen from the hydrogen storage device, wherein,

[0033] The air outlet component 200 includes an exhaust bowl mouth 201 arranged at the end of the air outlet pipe 103, and the outer wall of the exhaust bowl mouth 201 is provided with an air distribution pipe 202, and the side of the air distribution pipe 202 is provided with a spiral tube 203, and the spiral tube 203 is connected to the air distribution pipe 202. The end of the spiral tube 203 away from the air distribution pipe 202 penetrates the outer wall of the exhaust bowl mouth 201, and the exhaust bowl mouth 201 and the air distribution pipe 202 are connected through the spiral tube 203. There are multiple spiral tubes 203, and the spiral tubes 203 are arranged on the outer wall of the exhaust bowl mouth 201. The outer wall of the exhaust bowl mouth 201 is provided with a through groove 204, and the inner wall of the through groove 204 is in contact with the outer wall of the spiral tube 203.

[0034] Furthermore, the air extraction component 300 includes a motor 301 arranged at the bottom of the exhaust bowl 201, the motor 301 is connected to the high-pressure tank 101 through a connecting frame, the output shaft of the motor 301 is provided with an air extraction pump 302, the top of the air extraction pump 302 is provided with an air outlet pipe 303, the air outlet pipe 303 is connected to the air distribution pipe 202, the bottom of the air extraction pump 302 is provided with an air inlet pipe 304, the air inlet pipe 304 is connected to the air extraction pump 302, and the air extraction pump 302 is used to The air for auxiliary combustion is drawn into the air distribution pipe 202 through the air inlet pipe 304, and the combustion-supporting air enters the exhaust bowl 201 from the air distribution pipe 202 through multiple spiral tubes 203 and is discharged into the combustion device. At the same time, hydrogen enters the exhaust bowl 201 from the outlet pipe 103. The combustion-supporting air and hydrogen are mixed in the exhaust bowl 201. The combustion-supporting air enters the exhaust bowl 201 in a dispersed manner from the multiple spiral tubes 203, which can make the air and hydrogen mix evenly to ensure the combustion effect.

[0035] Specifically, when hydrogen needs to be burned, the exhaust pump 302 uses the air inlet pipe 304 to draw the air for auxiliary combustion into the air distribution pipe 202, and the combustion-supporting air enters the exhaust bowl 201 from the air distribution pipe 202 through multiple spiral tubes 203 and is discharged into the combustion device. At the same time, hydrogen enters the exhaust bowl 201 from the outlet pipe 103. The combustion-supporting air and hydrogen are mixed in the exhaust bowl 201 and then discharged into the combustion equipment. When the combustion is completed and there is no need to continue to discharge hydrogen, the solenoid valve 104 is used to close the outlet pipe 103. At this time, the motor 301 continues to work, and the combustion-supporting air continues to be filled into the exhaust bowl 201 to blow out the residual hydrogen inside, and then ignite. This can prevent backfire.

[0036] Example 3, reference Figures 1 to 5 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a peak-shaving system, which includes a hydrogen storage device of any one of the above items, and also includes: a hydrogen production unit 400, a hydrogen storage unit 500 and a hydrogen combustion unit 600.

[0037] Furthermore, the hydrogen production unit 400 includes a water storage device 401, a water electrolysis hydrogen production device 402, an oxygen storage device 403, a hydrogen storage device 404 and a combustion adjustment device 405.

[0038] Furthermore, the hydrogen storage unit 500 includes an air intake device 501 , a dryer 502 and a compressor 503 . The air intake device 501 is connected to the hydrogen storage device 404 , the dryer 502 is connected to the air intake device 501 , the dryer 502 is connected to the compressor 503 , and the compressor 503 is connected to the storage component 100 .

[0039] Furthermore, the hydrogen combustion unit 600 includes a power grid mobilization system 601, a hydrogen burner 602, a gas-supporting device 603 and a combustion furnace 604. The hydrogen burner 602 is connected to the gas outlet component 200, the hydrogen burner 602 is connected to the gas-supporting device 603, and the hydrogen burner 602 is connected to the combustion furnace 604.

[0040] Specifically, when there is excess electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, the excess electricity is used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen, generating hydrogen and oxygen. The reaction is as follows: 2H2O → 2H2 + O2.

[0041] The generated hydrogen is stored in a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank through a gas collection system and is used to support combustion in thermal power units.

[0042] When the grid load is low and thermal power units are needed for peak load regulation, the stored hydrogen is transported to the thermal power unit's combustion system and mixed with pulverized coal for combustion, improving the unit's combustion efficiency and peak load regulation capabilities. The grid dispatching system dynamically adjusts the operating modes of water electrolysis hydrogen production and hydrogen-assisted combustion of thermal power units based on real-time load demand and renewable energy generation, achieving coordinated peak load regulation between renewable energy and thermal power units.
