AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Offshore oil and gas platforms have high energy consumption, large carbon emissions, and unstable power supply. The uncertainty of offshore wind power output leads to a mismatch between source and load power, causing equipment damage. It is necessary to achieve dynamic balance of source and load power and improve safety.

Method used

An electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system is adopted, which converts the overload power of offshore wind power into hydrogen energy and stores it in a hydrogen storage tank through an electrolyzer. When the power is insufficient, the hydrogen energy is released by the fuel cell to generate electricity. The dispatch strategy adjusts the energy storage status according to the power of wind power and load to achieve source-load power balance.

Benefits of technology

It has achieved dynamic balance of power source and load on offshore oil and gas platforms, improved the flexibility and safety of the power system, and enabled green storage of hydrogen energy.

Abstract

This invention discloses a storage and release scheduling strategy for an electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system for offshore oil and gas platforms. It primarily addresses the problems caused by the high uncertainty and randomness of offshore wind power output due to weather conditions and load power influenced by drilling operations, leading to source-load power mismatch and damage to offshore oil and gas operation equipment. This storage and release scheduling strategy relies on an electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system, adjusting the storage and release status and power of the system based on the output power of the offshore wind turbines and the load power of the oil and gas platform. This strategy can achieve dynamic balance between source and load power on offshore oil and gas platforms, resolving safety issues caused by the volatility of offshore wind power and the uncertainty of load power. Furthermore, it can effectively improve the flexibility and security of the power system and enable large-scale, long-term storage of hydrogen green energy.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage technology, and specifically relates to a storage and dispatching strategy for an electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system for offshore oil and gas platforms. Background Art

[0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, the pace of global offshore oil and gas exploration and development has accelerated significantly. The total newly discovered offshore oil and gas reserves have surpassed those on land, and production continues to grow, making offshore a strategic replacement area for global oil and gas resources. Compared to onshore oil and gas, offshore oil and gas production processes have their own unique characteristics in terms of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Driven by the need for self-sufficiency in energy supply and to fully utilize their own produced oil and gas resources, offshore oil and gas platforms typically build their own power and heat stations, using associated gas and crude oil as fuels to meet their own electricity and heat needs. This energy supply method results in substantial carbon emissions and suffers from low efficiency, high energy consumption, and unstable power supply. Currently, the most mature approach to connecting offshore oil and gas platforms to clean energy is the introduction of wind power technology. However, because offshore wind power output is affected by weather, and load power is affected by drilling operations, it exhibits strong uncertainty and randomness, leading to source-load power mismatch and damage to offshore oil and gas operating equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a storage and dispatch strategy for an electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system for offshore oil and gas platforms. By using an electro-hydrogen coupled energy storage system, the source and load power of offshore oil and gas platforms can be dynamically balanced, solving the safety problems caused by the volatility of offshore wind power and the uncertainty of load power. This can effectively improve the flexibility and safety of the power system and also enable large-scale, long-term storage of hydrogen green energy. Summary of the Invention
