Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy conversion and storage in renewable energy, and in particular to a method for quantifying and optimizing the reversible efficiency of a solid oxide battery system. Background Art
[0002] The solid oxide battery system is a highly efficient energy conversion device that combines the dual functions of power generation (fuel cell mode) and energy storage (electrolysis cell mode). Its core advantage lies in the bidirectional conversion of energy and chemical energy through reversible reactions. Energy conversion efficiency is a key indicator for measuring the performance of solid oxide battery systems, and the reversible efficiency under one charge and discharge cycle is usually used as the evaluation standard. However, the actual operating efficiency of the solid oxide battery system is affected by factors such as multi-physics field coupling, reaction kinetics, and thermodynamic irreversibility. Its dynamic characteristics vary significantly in time scale and operating direction (power generation / electrolysis). It is necessary to deconstruct the efficiency composition from a mechanistic perspective and quantify the influence of each factor.
[0003] Existing methods for optimizing the reversible efficiency of solid oxide battery systems primarily focus on improving the steady-state performance of a single operating mode, including material electrode modification, electrolyte conductivity enhancement, or static optimization of operating parameters (temperature, gas flow rate, etc.). Alternatively, they analyze the overall efficiency of the charge-discharge cycle through experiments or modeling. However, these methods typically treat the cycling process as a time-symmetric, fixed path, ignoring the dynamic losses during mode switching, as well as the differential effects of operating direction and mode duration on reversible efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, the limitations of existing technologies are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, efficiency evaluation is limited to the overall cycle and ignores transient processes, resulting in insufficient identification of key loss links; second, the constraints of operating direction (such as the irreversibility difference between power generation and electrolysis) on efficiency are not considered, making it difficult to achieve coordinated optimization of bidirectional working conditions; third, there is a lack of dynamic scheduling solutions to adapt to the changing working conditions in actual scenarios, which limits the efficient application of the system in complex energy networks.
[0005] Therefore, a solid oxide battery system mode scheduling method is urgently needed to achieve the global optimal reversible efficiency under a complete switching cycle of the solid oxide battery system. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for quantifying and optimizing the reversible efficiency of a solid oxide battery system. Based on the generalized mathematical model of reversible efficiency, a deconstruction strategy is proposed and a quantification and optimization model of generalized reversible efficiency is established. The system operation constraints are coupled to reveal the essential laws of periodic energy conversion. The solution is solved with the goal of maximizing the generalized reversible efficiency and inter-mode efficiency.

[0073] The present invention provides a method for quantifying and optimizing the reversible efficiency of a solid oxide battery system. By quantifying the generalized reversible efficiency through operable variables, a universally applicable form of the reversible efficiency in a complete continuous cycle is obtained. In combination with the constraints of the solid oxide battery system, a reversible efficiency optimization model for the solid oxide battery system is constructed and solved. A reversible efficiency optimization strategy applicable to solid oxide battery systems in practice is obtained, which is applicable to a wide range of real-world operating scenarios.
[0074] Combine Figure 1 The method of the present invention is further described:
[0075] S1. Determine the generalized reversible efficiency deconstruction and quantification model based on operating parameters;
[0076] Solid oxide battery system workflow Figure 2shown.
[0077] With reversible efficiency η RT As an indicator to quantify the global energy conversion performance of solid oxide battery system, the formula of reversible efficiency is expressed as:
[0078]
[0079] Among them, for any operating point of the solid oxide battery system The amount of hydrogen produced in an electrolysis process is n(mol). When the electrolysis current I SOE and discharge current I SOFC When the electrolysis process and the discharge process have the same running time, Indicates the net amount of electricity generated by the hydrogen consumption n (mol) during the discharge process, indicating The ratio of the amount of hydrogen produced n (mol) to the total electrical energy consumed during the electrolysis process.
[0080] S11. In order to accurately characterize the reversible efficiency, in this embodiment, the definition of reversible efficiency is broadened; that is, the ratio of effective conversion energy is defined as the generalized reversible efficiency, and the conversion energy On a macro level, the operating current and operating time are no longer considered. A continuous and non-repeating complete cycle in any energy conversion direction of the solid oxide battery system is divided into two stages according to the time sequence; the inverse of the ratio of the effective conversion energy corresponding to the two stages is defined as a generalized representation of reversible efficiency:
[0081]
[0082] in, Represents a continuous and non-repeating complete cycle in any energy conversion direction of the solid oxide battery system; When the electrolysis process is represented, Indicates the discharge process; Indicates the discharge process, Represents the electrolysis process; for any operating point in the system operating space Corresponding effective conversion energy The corresponding effective conversion energy Effective conversion energy represents the energy conversion cycle The total energy of the initial state of matter before and after and the total energy of the final state.
[0083] S12. Introduce an intermediate medium factor associated with the hydrogen production in the electrolysis process, transform the generalized representation of the reversible efficiency, and determine a generalized reversible efficiency model based on the operating parameters; deconstruct the reversible efficiency model, establish staged generalized reversible efficiency models for the electricity-gas-electricity stage and the gas-electricity-gas stage respectively, and determine the solution representation of the generalized reversible efficiency.
[0084] Represents the Power-Gas-Power or Gas-Power-Gas process in the solid oxide battery system, denoted as P2G2P and G2P2G respectively. It includes an electrolysis process and a discharge process, and each process is independent in time and state.
[0085] Combine Figure 3 , in the P2G2P stage, the P2G process is expressed as That is, the electrolysis process; represents the G2P process, i.e., the discharge process; and Proceed in P2G2P order.
[0086] For the initial state total energy and final state total energy in the P2G2P process, it is expressed as the original total energy consumed by the electrolysis process The effective net energy generated by the discharge process
[0087] The same applies to G2P2G; cycle The energy forms of the initial and final states are consistent. P2G2P exists in the form of electrical energy, while G2P2G exists in the form of hydrogen.
[0088] 1) When When hydrogen is used as an energy storage medium, the amount of hydrogen determines the effective conversion energy of the electrolysis process and the discharge process. The value range is only The hydrogen production was 100% consumption, can be based on the cycle The effective conversion of the initial and final states can effectively solve η RT .
[0089] The amount of hydrogen produced is only related to the electrolysis current I SOE It is related to the system operation time t; therefore, the two variables of electrolysis current and system operation time are infinitely discretized in their operation domain, and the decision factor corresponding to the electrolysis hydrogen production n (mol) can be solved to obtain the optimal η RT There is more than one.
[0090] Assume that there is a mapping in a bounded two-dimensional space is the electrolysis current I in the associated operating space SOE and system operation time t, for a fixed electrolysis hydrogen production, the set of decision variables that meet the conditions (I SOE ,t) is expressed as:
[0091]
[0092] Among them, S n represents all the SOE ,t)=n's I SOE and t; when there is a unique factor γ associated with the amount of hydrogen produced by electrolysis, record Then the unique factor γ formula is expressed as:
[0093] Among them, j∈m, k∈n, as long as there is an infinite set in the sets m and n, the fixed electrolysis hydrogen production corresponding to There are infinite combinations; k Indicates the system running time corresponding to any point in the system operation space; Represents the stack current at any point within the operating space of the electrolysis process system.
[0094] Similarly, for γ corresponding to the fixed discharge hydrogen consumption in the stage i There are also infinite options.
[0095] and Different γ corresponds to different operating values of solid oxide battery system, which directly leads to the corresponding and The complexity of the value space increases, making it difficult to find the optimal η RT .
[0096] Therefore, η RT Translates to:
[0097] in, Indicates the total power consumption of electrolysis, Indicates the net discharge power; It is a function of the solid oxide battery system operating point x(i), operating parameters: stack current I s 、Excess air ratio ε air , fuel utilization rate U f And the auxiliary gas concentration X in the fuel circuit fuel Decide value.
[0098] therefore, is x(i) and t s function, in the P2G2P cycle η RT The decision variables are With t S Therefore, η RT The optimization can be expressed as:
[0099]
[0100] Among them, x(i) s1 express System operating point in the process, x(i) s2 express System operating point in the process, x(i) s1 and x(i) s2 Belong to different processes and do not interfere with each other; γ is the series connection of Opt[η RT ] The interface between the numerator and denominator, corresponding to when the upper and lower γ values are equal and The ratio of the values of is the effective maxη RT , t s2 express Process duration, t s1 express Duration of the process.
[0101] Optimization η of P2G2P process RT The solution: As long as I j and t k If the factors γ are equal, the optimal η in two-dimensional space can be solved. RT .
[0102] 2) When When the net electrical energy W generated during the discharge process SOFC,net The total electrical energy consumed by electrolysis W SOE Equal, η RT It is equal to the ratio of the amount of hydrogen in the final state to the amount of hydrogen in the initial state.
[0103] However, by operating point It is difficult to describe W SOFC,net or W SOE function;
[0104] If according to η SOFC and η SOE Determine the effective η RT To solve, we need to Obviously, η is also the output in the multi-dimensional operation space, and it is still difficult to establish an effective and Link. Solving η for the G2P2G process RT The complexity increases significantly.
[0105] S13. Determine a solvable quantitative model of reversible efficiency around γ, i.e., a solvable representation of generalized reversible efficiency;
[0106] For the P2G2P process, the strategy of "fixing the middle and using both ends" is adopted; for the G2P2G process, the strategy of "fixing both ends and using the middle" is adopted. Figure 4Further explanation:
[0107] Figure 4 The dotted line in (a) represents the cycle Any two consecutive processes and and The energy values of have no relationship with each other, that is, Figure 4 The original state of the solid lines in (a) and (b) is as follows: for P2G2P, “fix the middle and use both ends” is as shown in 4(a); for G2P2G, “fix both ends and use the middle” is as shown in Figure 4 (b).
[0108] In this embodiment, the strategy adopted by G2P2G is: first, by ensuring the cycle The amount of hydrogen consumed in the initial and final state discharge process is consistent with the amount of hydrogen produced in the electrolysis process, and the intermediate medium factor γ=I is required for the discharge process and the electrolysis process. j t k Equal, I j represents the stack current at any point j in the system operating space, t k Represents the system running time at any point k in the system operation space. Then according to η RT Can be further converted into W SOFC,net With W SOE The premise is that the corresponding γ between the modes is consistent. According to Opt[η RT ], the numerator corresponds to the discharge process and the denominator is the electrolysis process, although they are carried out in different orders in the P2G2P and G2P2G processes. Is it P2G2P or G2P2G, η RT The formula is expressed as:
[0109]
[0110] in, Represents the effective conversion energy of the discharge process, represents the effective conversion energy of the electrolysis process, t s represents the duration of the electrolysis process or the discharge process, x(i) SOFC represents any operating point in the operating space of the discharge process system, x(i) SOE represents any operating point in the operating space of the electrolysis process system, t s Indicates the duration of the discharge process or electrolysis process; γ i,SOFC Indicates the intermediate dielectric factor during the discharge process, γ i,SPE Represents the intermediate medium factor in the electrolysis process.
[0111] Therefore, η RTThe optimization mathematical model is expressed as:
[0112]
[0113] S2. Based on the generalized reversible efficiency mathematical quantification model and coupled with the operating constraints of the solid oxide battery system, an optimization model is constructed with the goal of maximizing the reversible efficiency and maximizing the efficiency of the electrolysis process or the discharge process;
[0114] S21: During homogeneous energy conversion, η cannot be maximized at the expense of efficiency during the mode. RT , so the optimal η RT At the same time, we must ensure continuous cycle The stages within and The efficiency is maximized, and the formula is expressed as:
[0115] Reversible efficiency η RT The optimization problem is transformed into a multi-objective function, and the formula is expressed as: Based on the continuity on the time scale and the non-interference of variables in the decision space, f is transformed into:
[0116]
[0117] Among them, f * Optimize η for P2G2P cycle and G2P2G cycle RT All are established, η SOFC Discharge process efficiency, η SOE Indicates the efficiency of the electrolysis process.
[0118] S22. Determine the operating constraints of the solid oxide battery system:
[0119] In this embodiment, the operating constraints of the high-temperature solid oxide battery system include:

[0129] 8) Determine the equation constraint of the source-load power balance of the solid oxide battery system in the form of equivalent voltage. This constraint will vary depending on the system state and process. The formula is expressed as:
[0130] U stack (x(i))=∑U BOP (x(i))
[0131] Among them, U stack and U BOP Represent the equivalent voltage of the battery stack and the system auxiliary component BOP respectively.
[0132] S23. In this embodiment, the reversible efficiency optimization model of the photovoltaic high-temperature solid oxide battery system is expressed as:

[0143] S3, solving the optimization model in S2 and generating the optimal solution as the control strategy of the solid oxide battery system;
[0144] In this embodiment, the optimal control strategy of the solid oxide battery system is obtained by combining the improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm with the multi-attribute decision-making TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). The solution process is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0152] For both the period P2G2P and the period G2P2G, f * The optimal η is solved in the form of RT .
[0153] For f P2G We need to maximize η SOE , while minimizing the total energy consumption when producing hydrogen m Based on η SOE Basic definition: η SOE Equal to the total energy contained in the amount of hydrogen produced by the solid oxide battery system n and the total energy consumption Assuming maxη SOE and There is no contradiction between There is a unique optimal solution. Otherwise, f G2P The objective functions in are necessarily conflicting in the decision space.
[0154] 1) According to the principle of multi-objective differential evolution algorithm, f G2P The transformation minimization solution is expressed as:
[0155]
[0156] 2) Considering the low gas flow rate of the fuel pipeline and U f and X fuel In the operating range, the effect on system efficiency η is minimal, so U is ignored. f and X fuel f G2P The impact of optimization is to speed up the iterative calculation efficiency; x(i) SOFC Simplified to x(i)' SOFC ={I s ,ε air ,t s} to optimize the solution.

[0164] The improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm is used to P2G The solution is obtained to further confirm that there is only one solution in the electrolysis process.
[0165] Objective function f * The solution set is as follows Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The results of TOPSIS solution in (a) are expressed as @W i The form of is shown, i corresponds to the number of the scheme in Table 3. SOFC and There is a Pareto front between f1 and f2, and f1 and f2 conflict with each other. Figure 6 (b) It is known that the solution is unique.
[0166] And due to the difference in the attribute values of f1 and f2, the optimal compromise solution will move towards maxη only when the weight of f2 is large enough. SOFC The directions are closer, that is, in the attribute decision process, f1 has a higher degree of discrimination for the alternatives in the Pareto front.
[0167] Figure 7 Shows Figure 6 The optimal decision variable value corresponding to the Pareto front in (a) is determined by @W i The index of has marked the position of the optimal compromise solution corresponding to each TOPSIS solution. It can be found that the optimal solution x(i)' opt ε inair Without limiting the solution accuracy, ε air The value basically falls around the lower limit of 7, which means that under the premise of meeting the temperature constraint, ε air The lower the auxiliary power consumption, the lower the parasitic energy loss and the lower the ε air Able to maximize efficiency.
[0168] When t s When they are not equal and vary within the given interval [2h,12h] Will follow s The two are positively correlated. s Does not affect η SOFC But it cannot be increased indefinitely, which depends on the limited hydrogen reserve n. According to γ=I j t k , t s The value of is negatively correlated with the current. Under the premise that n is finite, I s The larger the value is within its operating domain, the longer the running time t of the mode s The shorter it is. s By I SOFC Indirect and η SOFC Therefore, t s And the operating current I in each mode s These are the key decision variables in the solution process.
[0169] 3) Consider the system feed and power operating point P x(i) The relationship between the two is replaced by the fuel supply amount FUEL (unit SLPM) x(i) .
[0170] I s There is a constant linear correlation between γ and FUEL, so γ can be equivalent to FUEL*t k To solve the f corresponding to the hydrogen storage in all working conditions + time domain G2P The optimal compromise solution.
[0171] According to I s The range determines the threshold of FUEL to be [20,70].
[0172] 4) Because it is necessary to solve the optimization problem corresponding to different hydrogen consumption amounts f G2P The optimal solution of ; and n is only related to FUEL and time t, so by fixing t, FUEL and t in the optimization domain are discretized according to a certain accuracy to obtain several sub-optimization problems; solve each sub-optimization problem to meet the constraints of the solid oxide battery system and make f G2P Optimal εair and I s . And according to the correlation between n and γ n∝γ(I s t) It can be obtained that as long as γ is the same, the amount of hydrogen consumed in the discharge process is consistent with the amount of hydrogen produced in the electrolysis process.
[0173] Specifically, by discretizing FUEL and t with the precision of 5 and 0.5 respectively, a total of 231 groups of sub-optimization problems are obtained. The Pareto front solutions generated by multi-objective optimization are calculated according to the TOPSIS scheme W i Take the optimal compromise solution, the corresponding decision variable is ε air and I s , while I s The value depends on FUEL, but by setting the fuel utilization rate U to 0.6~0.9 f To limit I s The range of this is also related to the solution Figure 6 difference.
[0174] In this embodiment, preferably, weight W4 is used because for maximizing η RT For example, by sacrificing 0.xx% efficiency to maximize the net power output W during the discharge process SOFC,net .
[0175] The obtained discrete optimal compromise solution is plotted in the form of interpolation to obtain the corresponding and η SOFC ,like Figure 8 As shown. Figure 8 (a): As FUEL and time increase, η SOFC It has nothing to do with time, but its maximum value appears at the minimum point of FUEL ( Figure 8 (b)). In fact, when FUEL is a constant, I s It will maximize its own value within the corresponding interval to ensure The highest. For γ, t increases by I s It will inevitably decrease. On the surface there exists a constant value γ i There are multiple sets of optimal compromise solutions.
[0176] According to Figure 8 Analysis: There is no unique correspondence between γ and γ, which is determined by the factor γ (γ=I s t) to find all the optimal compromise solutions in the interval corresponding to γ like Figure 9 As shown. Obviously, γ and There is a strong linear relationship between them. According to the γ corresponding to each discrete value in the figure iYou can search for all potential I s -t solution. As long as γ is the same, the corresponding intermediate variable n (the amount of hydrogen produced or consumed) is equal, and then search for the value of γ corresponding to the discharge process. During the electrolysis process The ratio of the two is the optimal η RT The value of each mode The maximum value of corresponds to the optimal decision variable solution, and according to γ, we can get η RT Optimal operating current in each mode I s and running time t.
[0177] During the electrolysis process Figure 9 In the effective range of γ, by taking different γ values in the nonlinear equation I s t=γ i Under the constraints of P2G . And γ i Corresponding I s and t will have multiple solutions; the solver still uses the multi-objective differential evolution strategy, because The solution set is not the Pareto frontier, so there is no TOPSIS multi-attribute decision-making problem; and by replacing n links with γ and The starting state energy allows γ i,SOE and γ i,SOFC There is an error of 1‰ between them. To reduce the computational complexity, only Figure 9 The value of γ is an integer multiple of 100. Since the effective stack current range during the electrolysis process is between [20,60], for a given I s If the value of γ is not within the range of t, then the value of γ cannot reach 800. Therefore, γ is set to [100,700]. Taking γ = 100 as an example, FUEL can be taken within the entire interval ([20,60]), but as γ increases, the FUEL interval shortens. At the same time, it can be taken to satisfy the constraint I s t=γ i The number of optimal solutions also decreases.
[0178] Figure 10 It describes the optimal solution for different γ in the electrolysis process and the corresponding I s According to the given γ value, the s Solve for the corresponding t. Each I s Corresponding They are all unique minimum solutions obtained by the multi-objective differential evolution algorithm. The number of solutions obtained by optimization is the same as that of the nonlinear equality constraint I s t=γ i When the algorithm is I s The search results are related to the solution interval. Due to the additional constraints (Is t=γ i ) exists, and I cannot be restricted here any more. s and the solution accuracy of t.
[0179] First, according to Figure 8 The results can be obtained for each γ i During the electrolysis process Established by γ and Figure 7 middle The corresponding contact, and The ratio is the optimal reversible efficiency η RT .
[0180] Next, we will continue to improve the accuracy of γ, and then use the same solution strategy to solve multiple groups of γ corresponding value.
[0181] Finally, by interpolation, we plot the range of η within the range of the intermediate variable n (corresponding to γ). RT Optimal continuous I s Trajectory (longitudinal γ corresponds to the only process of discharge and electrolysis η RT The optimal current solution) is given by Calculate η RT Get the final continuous η RT Curves, such as Figure 11 shown.
[0182] according to Figure 11 It can be seen that when the amount of hydrogen converted increases (the larger γ is), the overall optimal η RT It shows a downward trend, which can be attributed to the fact that in the energy conversion cycle u, I s The increase will lead to increased energy loss, mainly including thermal energy diffusion and internal energy loss, γ i Within the interval η RT Trend and I s The corresponding relationship between η and η can better illustrate this point. Therefore, by reducing the energy loss caused by heat diffusion and conversion into internal energy, the global energy conversion performance of the solid oxide battery system can be effectively improved, that is, η RT This also indirectly proves that the thermal management method for secondary utilization of fuel cell tail gas has an important effect on η RT In addition, the reference γ value can be used to establish the reversible efficiency η RT The optimal discharge process and electrolysis process are the operating current trajectories, at U f and X fuel Take the lowest ε when it is a fixed value air When, according to I sThe operation domain constructed with t can guide the solid oxide battery system to complete a complete cycle It can represent either a P2G2P process or a G2P2G process) and is the mode switching schedule with the highest global energy conversion efficiency.
