Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power system information models, and in particular relates to an electric hydrogen energy supply system information model based on the CIM model expansion. Background Art

[0002] The Common Information Model (CIM) is a standardized abstract data model for the power and energy sector. As the core of standard protocols such as IEC61970 and IEC61968, it uses object-oriented modeling to abstract entities and relationships within power systems, such as generators, transformers, and lines, into unified classes and attributes, forming a comprehensive data definition encompassing static topology and dynamic data. Its core goal is to achieve a shared understanding of power resources across different systems through the use of common terminology and object structures. Its modular design supports expansion, breaking down data silos and ensuring data consistency and interoperability. This provides fundamental support for grid dispatch automation, cross-system integration, and the integration of new devices.

[0003] Hydrogen, with its clean, efficient, and storable properties, has become a key energy carrier in multi-energy complementary systems, driving the rapid development of electric-hydrogen energy supply systems. By integrating multiple energy conversion devices, such as water electrolysis for hydrogen production, fuel cell power generation, and chemical energy storage, these systems achieve the coordinated optimization and efficient utilization of multiple energy sources, including electricity, hydrogen, and thermal energy.

[0004] However, the complex integrated architecture of the electric-hydrogen energy supply system poses significant challenges to information management. The various energy conversion devices (such as electrolyzers, fuel cells, and trigeneration units) and energy storage devices (such as solid-gas hybrid hydrogen storage and electrochemical energy storage) within the system come from different manufacturers and utilize heterogeneous data structures and communication protocols, leading to severe information silos within the system. This data exchange barrier not only hinders the coordinated optimization and control of multiple energy flows but also limits improvements in overall system operational efficiency. While the CIM model proposed in the existing IEC61970 series of standards provides a unified data modeling framework for power systems, its core model primarily targets traditional power equipment and lacks standardized descriptions of key energy-coupled devices in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system. Specifically, it excludes class definitions for novel energy conversion devices such as hydrogen electrolyzers and fuel cells; lacks modeling methods for multiple energy-coupled relationships; and lacks standardized interaction parameters between the energy storage system and energy conversion devices. These model limitations make interoperability between devices in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system difficult, severely restricting the system's intelligent management capabilities and development potential.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention first conducts a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the coupling and conversion mechanisms between the various energy flows (electricity, heat, hydrogen, and methanol) in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system. Through rigorous research, these device types are identified and the complex coupling relationships between them are clarified.

No matter what new equipment is introduced into the electric hydrogen energy supply system in the future, as long as it conforms to the basic energy flow coupling and conversion principles, it can be included in the model by adjusting the properties and relationships of the new class, thereby enhancing the scalability of the model and providing strong support for the long-term development and upgrading of the system.

[0017] Based on energy flow relationships and the interaction logic between devices, the present invention defines the relationships between new classes, existing classes, and new classes. By generalizing and inheriting relevant new classes from existing classes, knowledge reuse and model simplification are achieved, avoiding the workload and complexity brought about by repeated modeling. At the same time, by using association, aggregation, and other methods to establish relationships between new classes, the interactions and collaborative working mechanisms between devices are clearly depicted.

[0034] This embodiment provides an information model of an electric hydrogen energy supply system based on the CIM model expansion. Figure 1 The establishment of the electric hydrogen energy supply system information model shown includes the following steps: S1. Analyze the coupling and conversion paths among the energy flows of electricity, heat, hydrogen, and methanol in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system, determine the energy equipment included in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system, and establish corresponding new categories; S2. Based on the Common Information Model (CIM) and extension principles specified in the IEC61970 series of standards, establish relationships between the new classes expanded in step S1 and the original classes in the CIM using inheritance. Based on the energy coupling relationship analyzed in step S1, establish interactive relationships between the new classes through association and / or aggregation, thereby preliminarily establishing a basic information model of the electric hydrogen energy supply system, so that the model can reflect the mutual relationship between energy flows. S3. Based on the configuration and operating parameters of the electric hydrogen energy supply system, corresponding attributes and characteristic curves are added to each new class expanded in step S1, thereby expanding the basic information model established in step S2 to obtain the electric hydrogen energy supply system information model that can describe the system characteristics.

[0035] CIM uses object-oriented modeling techniques, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation. Each class is defined in text by defining its attributes and defining relationships with other classes through inheritance, association, and aggregation. A CIM class is a group of objects with the same attributes in the real world, providing an abstract description for all objects belonging to that class. Therefore, when establishing relevant classes in the CIM model, it is necessary to first analyze the coupling and conversion paths between the electricity, heat, hydrogen, and methanol energy flows in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system, clarify the composition and types of key equipment in each energy flow conversion process, and abstract the specific equipment into a series of new classes as the basis for establishing new classes. Based on the CIM model definition, when expanding new classes, it is necessary to define their attributes and establish relationships between them. More specifically, the attributes of the new classes are derived by abstracting the electrical and physical parameters of each device in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system. Relationships between classes are defined based on the energy flow relationships and the interaction logic between devices in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system. The relevant new classes are generalized by inheriting from existing classes, and relationships between the new classes are established through association and aggregation. For example, for the coupling equipment that converts electric energy flow into hydrogen energy flow, it is necessary to clarify that the electric energy flow is converted into hydrogen energy flow through the hydrogen electrolyzer, so a new class needs to be established for the hydrogen electrolyzer; at the same time, it has electrical and physical parameters such as operating temperature, system operating pressure, and rated power in actual operation, so when defining the electrolyzer class, the above parameters need to be considered as its attributes; in the flow path of the hydrogen energy flow, the electrolyzer converts the electric energy flow into hydrogen energy flow and then flows to the hybrid energy storage, so it is necessary to establish an association between the electrolyzer class and the hybrid energy storage class.

[0036] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2The coupling and conversion path in step S1 shown includes an electric energy flow path, specifically: The generation of electric energy flow includes distributed energy in the electric hydrogen energy supply system and micro-gas turbines in the trigeneration system, wherein the distributed energy includes photovoltaics and wind turbines; The flow of electrical energy is bidirectional, including transmission with the grid through tie lines; The energy conversion methods of electric energy flow include directly supplying power to the load or performing bidirectional charging and discharging with the hybrid energy storage system according to the power balance status, and the other way is converted into hydrogen energy flow, heat energy flow, and methanol energy flow through various equipment respectively; specifically, it is converted into hydrogen energy flow and heat energy flow through hydrogen electrolyzers; and converted into methanol energy flow through carbon capture equipment and methanol synthesis equipment.

[0037] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 The coupling and conversion path in step S1 shown also includes a hydrogen energy flow coupling path, specifically: The hydrogen energy flow is coupled with the electrical energy flow through the hydrogen electrolyzer and hydrogen fuel cell. The heat generated by the hydrogen electrolyzer and hydrogen fuel cell during operation is transferred to the heat exchanger, thereby realizing the conversion of hydrogen energy flow into thermal energy flow. The hydrogen energy flow is used as a raw material and converted into a methanol energy flow through a methanol synthesis unit; The conversion and storage of electrical energy flow into hydrogen energy flow requires a coupling relationship between the hydrogen electrolyzer and the electrical energy flow, and the hydrogen is produced by the principle of water electrolysis and stored in a hybrid hydrogen storage device. The conversion of hydrogen energy flow into electrical energy flow requires coupling through a hydrogen fuel cell, supplying the hydrogen stored in the hybrid hydrogen storage device to the anode, causing it to chemically react with oxygen in the electrolyte, thereby converting the stored hydrogen energy flow into electrical energy flow.

[0038] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 The coupling and conversion path in step S1 shown also includes a heat flow coupling path, specifically: The heat flow is coupled with the electricity, hydrogen and methanol energy flows through the heat exchanger, namely the electrolysis process of the hydrogen recovery electrolyzer, that is, the electricity flow is partially converted into heat flow; the power generation process of the hydrogen fuel cell, that is, the hydrogen flow is partially converted into heat flow; the heat generated in the power generation process of the methanol fuel cell, that is, the methanol flow is partially converted into heat flow; The coupling and conversion path in step S1 also includes a methanol energy flow coupling path, specifically: The methanol energy flow is converted into the hydrogen energy flow and the carbon dioxide energy flow by the methanol synthesis equipment under the drive of the electric energy flow, and is stored in the synthesized methanol; The methanol energy flow is converted into electrical energy flow and thermal energy flow through the methanol fuel cell.

[0039] The above steps analyze the energy devices required for the conversion paths and mutual coupling of electricity, hydrogen, heat, and methanol energy flows to determine the energy devices included in the electric-hydrogen energy supply system and establish new classes based on these existing devices. This example is based on the IEC61970 standard and follows the CIM modeling approach and extension rules. The software platform used is Enterprise Architect to expand new classes, add attributes, and establish inheritance, association, and aggregation relationships between different classes.

[0040] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, wherein the energy equipment includes energy conversion equipment, multi-energy flow storage equipment, and auxiliary equipment; the energy equipment included in the electric hydrogen energy supply system is determined and the corresponding new class is established, including: Create a new class in the Enterprise Architect platform.

[0041] The process of creating a new class for energy conversion devices is as follows: against Figure 2 The trigeneration system entity in the energy flow path shown is mainly composed of micro-turbines and absorption cooling and heating units. Therefore, two new classes, micro-turbines and absorption cooling and heating units, are created. Figure 3 As shown; against Figure 2 The hydrogen electrolyzer entity in the energy flow path shown is subdivided into two types of hydrogen electrolyzers: alkaline electrolyzer and proton exchange membrane electrolyzer. Therefore, two new categories, alkaline electrolyzer and proton exchange membrane electrolyzer, are newly created. In addition, based on the hydrogen production characteristics of the electrolyzer entity, new alkaline electrolyzer hydrogen transmission pipe categories and proton exchange membrane electrolyzer hydrogen transmission pipe categories are newly created, such as Figure 6 As shown; against Figure 2 The hydrogen fuel cell entity in the energy flow path shown is subdivided into two types of hydrogen fuel cells: proton exchange membrane fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell. Therefore, two new classes, proton exchange membrane fuel cell class and solid oxide fuel cell class, are created, such as Figure 7 As shown; against Figure 2 For the carbon capture, methanol synthesis and methanol fuel cell in the energy flow path shown, new carbon capture device, methanol synthesis equipment and methanol fuel cell categories are established respectively. Figure 8 As shown; The process of creating a new class for multi-energy flow storage devices is as follows: against Figure 2The hybrid hydrogen storage in the energy flow path shown is mainly composed of three main devices: solid hydrogen storage, gas hydrogen storage and water heater. Therefore, a new hybrid hydrogen storage unit class is created, and solid hydrogen storage, gas hydrogen storage and water heater classes are created according to their component equipment. The latter three are related to the hybrid hydrogen storage unit class through aggregation, as shown in the following example: Figure 5 As shown; against Figure 2 The hybrid energy storage in the energy flow path shown is mainly composed of flywheel energy storage, liquid flow energy storage, lead-carbon energy storage, supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion batteries. Therefore, a new hybrid energy storage unit class is created, and according to its component equipment, a new flywheel energy storage class, liquid flow energy storage class, lead-carbon energy storage class, supercapacitor class, lithium-ion battery class and sodium-ion battery class are created, as shown in the following figure: Figure 9 As shown; The process of creating a new class for assistive devices is as follows: against Figure 2 For the synthetic methanol in the energy flow path shown, it is analyzed that its normal operation in reality requires the assistance of a methanol separation device. The synthesized methanol is transported to the methanol storage tank through the methanol separation device, so a new methanol separation device class is created; against Figure 2 The public auxiliary equipment required for the normal operation of each device in the energy flow path shown above is a new public workstation equipment class. The auxiliary function is specifically manifested in that in the actual operation of the above-mentioned physical equipment, the support of auxiliary systems such as pure water system, cooling water system, compressed air system, circulating water system, nitrogen supply system, heat exchanger system, etc. is required. Among them, the heat exchanger class is Figure 2 The heat exchanger in the energy flow path shown corresponds to the hydrogen electrolyzer, hydrogen fuel cell, cooling and heating units in the trigeneration system, and methanol fuel cell. Therefore, the pure water system class, compressed air system class, circulating water system class, cooling water system class, nitrogen supply system class, and heat exchanger class are abstracted for the actual equipment entity, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0042] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, wherein the step S2 establishes a relationship between each new class expanded in step S1 and the original class in the CIM by inheritance, including: In the EnterpriseArchitect platform, establish an inheritance relationship between the new class and the existing class in the original CIM model, as follows: The alkaline electrolyzer class, proton exchange membrane electrolyzer class, absorption chiller class, and methanol synthesis equipment class establish an inheritance relationship with the power system resource (PowerSystemResource) class in the original CIM model; The proton exchange membrane fuel cell class, solid oxide fuel cell class, micro-turbine class and methanol fuel cell class establish an inheritance relationship with the prime mover (PrimeMover) class in the original CIM model; The hybrid hydrogen storage unit class, hybrid energy storage unit class and methanol storage tank class establish inheritance relationships with the generating unit (GeneratingUnit) class and conducting equipment (ConductingEquipment) class in the original CIM model; The carbon capture device class, public workstation equipment class and methanol separation device class establish inheritance relationships with the Equipment class in the original CIM model.

[0043] Specifically, this embodiment provides a preferred implementation method, in step S2, the energy coupling relationship obtained by analyzing step S1 includes: The hydrogen electrolyzer converts the electrical energy flow into hydrogen energy flow and heat energy flow through the pure water system, cooling water system, nitrogen supply system and heat exchanger through water electrolysis, and the produced hydrogen is stored in the mixed hydrogen storage unit through the hydrogen transmission pipeline; The hydrogen fuel cell consumes the hydrogen stored in the hybrid hydrogen storage unit and converts the hydrogen energy flow into electrical energy flow and thermal energy flow through a heat exchanger; The carbon capture equipment captures carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas of the micro-turbine combustion and provides carbon-containing raw materials for the methanol synthesis process through the compressed air system. The hydrogen supply equipment for the methanol synthesis process is a hybrid hydrogen storage unit, based on which the electrical energy flow and hydrogen energy flow are converted into methanol energy flow; The methanol synthesis equipment stores the synthesized methanol in a methanol storage tank through a methanol separation device.
