[0002] Currently, clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy systems have become a key research focus. Hydrogen energy, as an ideal secondary energy carrier, is considered a key technology for achieving deep decarbonization due to its high energy density, zero-pollution combustion products, and efficient conversion with electricity. Especially with the large-scale grid connection of renewable energy, hydrogen production through water electrolysis can realize the spatiotemporal transfer of renewable energy, effectively solving the intermittency and volatility problems of wind and solar power generation. However, the high investment cost of hydrogen energy systems restricts their large-scale application; therefore, research on the capacity optimization configuration of integrated electrothermal hydrogen energy systems is of great significance.
[0003] However, existing research still has shortcomings in terms of system capacity configuration. Many current capacity optimization studies employ linearized or lumped parameter models, particularly oversimplifying the variable operating characteristics of hydrogen energy equipment. This fails to reflect energy conversion efficiency under different conditions and ignores the fact that the output power of the equipment is affected by various factors during actual operation. Consequently, there is a discrepancy between the simulation experimental data and the actual operating data, leading to higher operating costs for integrated electrothermal hydrogen energy systems.

[0118] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0119] Integrated Energy Systems (IES) can significantly improve energy efficiency and economy through multi-energy complementarity and synergistic optimization. Domestic and international scholars have made systematic research progress in the field of IES capacity configuration, laying an important theoretical foundation for the optimal design of electro-thermal-hydrogen multi-energy coupled systems. At the optimization method level, research has broken through the limitations of traditional single economic objectives, gradually forming a technical route of multi-objective synergistic optimization, focusing on key indicators such as system life-cycle cost, carbon emission intensity, and renewable energy integration rate. In terms of uncertainty handling, stochastic programming and robust optimization have become mainstream methods. For example, a two-stage stochastic programming model combining Wasserstein distance scenario generation technology and distributed robust optimization effectively improves the system's ability to cope with renewable energy fluctuations. Regarding the research on multi-energy flow coupling mechanisms, scholars have proposed a coupling matrix method considering spatiotemporal characteristics by improving traditional energy hub models, establishing a topological model that can describe energy grade conversion relationships. In system architecture design, the introduction of hydrogen energy systems provides a new research perspective for IES, such as innovative solutions like achieving cross-seasonal energy storage through hydrogen energy storage systems and improving overall energy efficiency using combined heat and power units.
[0120] However, despite the progress made in system capacity configuration, existing research still has shortcomings in modeling. Many current capacity optimization studies employ linearized or lumped parameter models, particularly oversimplifying the variable operating characteristics of hydrogen energy equipment. This fails to reflect energy conversion efficiency under different conditions and ignores the fact that the output power of the equipment is affected by various factors during actual operation. Consequently, there are discrepancies between the simulation data and actual operating data, making it difficult for capacity configuration schemes and scheduling strategies to adapt to changes in actual operation.
[0121] Specifically, regarding modeling accuracy: Existing technologies oversimplify the variable operating conditions of hydrogen energy equipment, such as the quasi-static efficiency curve of electrolyzers (EL), the constant thermoelectric ratio assumption of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), or only considering the output power relationship of the equipment at a single temperature. This simplification ignores the fact that the output power of the equipment is affected by multiple factors during actual operation, failing to accurately reflect the performance changes of the equipment under different operating conditions. This results in capacity configuration schemes and scheduling strategies being difficult to adapt to changes in actual operation. This invention, through refined modeling, can more realistically reflect the operating characteristics of the equipment, improving the adaptability and accuracy of capacity configuration and scheduling strategies.
[0122] Regarding optimization objectives: While existing technologies have made some progress in optimization methods, some solutions still primarily focus on a single economic objective or only consider a few key indicators. However, considering only a single objective or a few indicators is no longer sufficient to meet the development needs of integrated energy systems. The optimization objectives of this invention are more comprehensive, taking into account multiple key indicators such as the system's total life cycle cost, carbon emission intensity, and renewable energy integration rate, thus better achieving synergistic optimization of the system's economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, and renewable energy utilization efficiency.
[0123] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0124] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a capacity configuration method for an electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system considering hydrogen energy equipment according to the present invention, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0125] S101. Based on the mechanism models of the electrolyzer and hydrogen fuel cell in the electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system, determine the nonlinear relationship between the output thermal power and output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell, and the nonlinear relationship between the hydrogen production power and power consumption of the electrolyzer.
[0126] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This diagram illustrates the structure of an integrated electrothermal hydrogen energy system, including the power grid, wind turbines, gas grid, energy storage equipment, electrolyzer, hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen storage equipment, methane generator (MR), combined heat and power (CHP), gas boiler (GB), gas storage equipment, thermal storage equipment, carbon trading market, and energy-consuming units. This system combines clean energy sources such as wind power and hydrogen with traditional energy sources like natural gas, ensuring the diversity and stability of energy supply. A key difference from traditional integrated energy systems is the introduction of hydrogen energy. In terms of electricity, the system can meet the power consumption, hydrogen production, and electricity load demands of the EL (Elastic Energy Source) by purchasing electricity from the upstream power grid, generating electricity from wind turbines, and outputting electricity from hydrogen fuel cells and CHP (Consumer Energy Source). Energy storage devices can be flexibly replenished through charging and discharging. Regarding heat, the system can utilize the heat released from the hydrogen fuel cells and CHP power generation, along with the heat released from GB (Gas Storage Unit), to meet the heat load demands. Heat storage devices are also configured for supplementation. For gas, the system can purchase gas from the upstream gas grid and produce gas using MR (Metallurgical Renewal) to meet the gas load, CHP, and GB gas consumption demands. Gas storage devices are also configured for supplementation. In terms of hydrogen production, the system can produce hydrogen within the EL through methods such as water electrolysis. For hydrogen energy utilization, the hydrogen produced in the EL can be further converted into natural gas via MR to supply GB and CHP. Alternatively, PEMFCs can be used directly to convert hydrogen into electricity and heat, improving energy efficiency and achieving clean energy utilization. Furthermore, the system is equipped with electrical energy storage, thermal energy storage, gas energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage, enabling energy storage during periods of low demand and release during peak demand, effectively balancing various loads. In particular, the application of hydrogen energy storage technology provides the system with long-term, high-density energy storage capabilities.
[0127] In the integrated electrothermal hydrogen energy system, the hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyzer are modeled mechanistically, while the other equipment is modeled using traditional methods.

[0162] During PEMFC power supply, the output voltage of the battery stack will vary with the operating state, which will affect the quality and stability of the power supply and may even shorten the life of the electrical equipment. As can be seen from the above formula, the operating temperature and external current have a particularly significant impact on the output power of the battery stack. According to formulas (1)-(9), the PEMFC mechanism model built on the Simulink simulation platform is simulated and analyzed. The external current density is set to increase linearly from 0 to 1.4. The simulation yields the current density and output thermoelectric power relationship curves of PEMFC at different temperatures, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 The graph shows the output heat power as a function of current density. Figure 4 This is a graph showing the output power as a function of current density. Because... Figure 3 , 4 The x-coordinates are consistent, so for Figure 3and Figure 4 Perform merge processing, in order to Figure 3 With thermal power as the x-axis, Figure 4 Using the electrical power as the ordinate, we obtain the curves showing the change in output electrical power versus output thermal power of the PEMFC hydrogen fuel cell at different temperatures.
[0163] Depend on Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that when the operating temperature remains constant, the thermal power output of the PEMFC increases with the increase of the external current. However, its electrical power output does not increase linearly with the increase of the current, but has a peak value. That is, the electrical power output first increases to the extreme point with the increase of the external current and then gradually decreases. Further longitudinal analysis shows that when the external current remains constant, the thermal power output of the PEMFC decreases with the increase of the operating temperature, while the electrical power output increases with the increase of the operating temperature.
[0164] In one embodiment, based on the mechanism model of the electrolyzer in the electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system, the nonlinear relationship between the hydrogen production power and the power consumption of the electrolyzer is determined, including: simulating the electrolyzer based on the mechanism model of the electrolyzer in the electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system to obtain curves showing the change of power consumption over time at different temperatures, and curves showing the change of hydrogen production power over time; integrating the curves showing the change of power consumption over time and the curves showing the change of hydrogen production power over time at the same temperature to obtain curves showing the change of hydrogen production power over power consumption at different temperatures; the curves showing the change of hydrogen production power over power consumption are used to represent the nonlinear relationship between the hydrogen production power and the power consumption of the electrolyzer.
[0165] Based on the mechanistic model of the electrolyzer, curves showing the variation of the electrolyzer's operating voltage at different temperatures, and graphs showing the relationship between hydrogen production power and power consumption at different temperatures, are plotted. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 The graph shows the voltage variation at different temperatures. Figure 6 The graph shows the variation of hydrogen production power with power consumption at different temperatures. It should be noted that power consumption refers to the operating voltage of the electrolyzer. With external current The product of; hydrogen production power, i.e., the hydrogen production rate of the electrolyzer. And Gibbs free energy The product of.
[0166] As can be seen from the above, the input-output characteristics of the electrolytic cell are nonlinear, therefore, the nonlinear model needs to be linearized to improve the solution efficiency. When the operating temperature of the PEMFC is between 70℃ and 90℃, and the operating temperature of the EL is between 60℃ and 90℃, the power curves corresponding to each operating temperature are all within the envelope bounded by 70℃-90℃ / 60℃-90℃.
[0167] S102, Based on the nonlinear relationship between the output thermal power and output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell, determine the power constraint conditions of the hydrogen fuel cell, and based on the nonlinear relationship between the hydrogen production power and power consumption of the electrolyzer, determine the power constraint conditions of the electrolyzer.
[0168] In one embodiment, the power constraint conditions of the hydrogen fuel cell are determined based on the nonlinear relationship between the output thermal power and the output electrical power, including: segmenting the curve of output electrical power versus output thermal power for any temperature to obtain multiple intervals of output electrical power versus output thermal power curves; fitting the output thermal power and the corresponding output electrical power on each interval curve to obtain a nonlinear relationship between output electrical power and output thermal power for multiple intervals; determining the upper and lower bound functions of the output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell based on the nonlinear relationships between output electrical power and output thermal power for multiple intervals at different temperatures; and determining the power constraint conditions of the hydrogen fuel cell based on the upper and lower bound functions of the output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell.
[0169] The least squares method was used to fit the output thermal power and the corresponding output electrical power on the curve of each interval, and the nonlinear relationship between the output electrical power and the output thermal power in multiple intervals was obtained.
[0170] The operating region of the PEMFC is appropriately divided into several equal or unequal regions. The power data curves within these regions are fitted using the least squares method, ensuring a smooth connection between the fitted curves. Thus, at a given temperature, the power relationship within the operating range can be expressed as:
[0171] (16);
[0172] in, and The coefficients representing the power function of a hydrogen fuel cell in the x-th interval at temperature T are denoted by . This represents the output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell at temperature T within the x-th interval. This represents the output thermal power of the hydrogen fuel cell within the x-th interval. and This represents the starting point of the segment in the x-th interval.
[0173] Simultaneously, by performing piecewise linearization on the two power upper and lower bound curves, the power relationship within the operating range can be derived as follows:
[0174] (17);
[0175] (18);
[0176] in, This indicates the output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell. This indicates the lower limit of the range of output power of the fuel cell at its lowest operating temperature. This indicates the upper limit of the output power range of a hydrogen fuel cell at its lowest operating temperature. Indicates the first x The output thermal power of hydrogen fuel cells within each range.
[0177] The power constraint condition means that the actual power operating point of the hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyzer must be within the operating range. For the fuel cell, the thermoelectric power satisfies the condition that when the thermoelectric power is constant, the electrical power is greater than that at 70°C. Below 90℃ For an electrolyzer, this hydrogen power satisfies the requirement that, for a given electrical power, the hydrogen power is greater than that at 60°C. Below 90℃ .
[0178] Therefore, the power constraint condition for hydrogen fuel cells is:
[0179] (19);
[0180] in, This indicates that hydrogen fuel cells are in Output electrical power at any time This is the lower bound function of the output power of a hydrogen fuel cell, i.e., the relationship between the output power of a hydrogen fuel cell and the output power of a hydrogen fuel cell. The lower bound of the output power at any given time. This is the upper bound function of the output power of a hydrogen fuel cell, representing the function of the hydrogen fuel cell in... The upper bound of the output power at any given time. This indicates that hydrogen fuel cells are in Output thermal power at any time and All of these are parameters in the lower bound function of the output power of a hydrogen fuel cell. and These are all parameters in the upper bound function relation of the output electrical power of the hydrogen fuel cell.
[0181] In one embodiment, determining the power constraint conditions of the electrolyzer based on the nonlinear relationship between the hydrogen production power and the power consumption of the electrolyzer includes: determining the maximum and minimum power consumption of the electrolyzer at all temperatures as the maximum and minimum power consumption of the electrolyzer, respectively; segmenting the curve of hydrogen production power versus power consumption for any temperature to obtain multiple intervals of hydrogen production power versus power consumption curves; fitting the hydrogen production power and corresponding power consumption on each interval curve to obtain a nonlinear relationship between hydrogen production power and power consumption for multiple intervals; determining the upper and lower bound functions of the hydrogen production power of the electrolyzer based on the nonlinear relationships between hydrogen production power and power consumption for multiple intervals at different temperatures; and determining the power constraint conditions of the electrolyzer based on the upper and lower bound functions of the hydrogen production power of the electrolyzer, as well as the maximum and minimum power consumption.
[0182] The method for determining the power constraint conditions of the electrolyzer in this embodiment is the same as the method for determining the power constraint conditions of the hydrogen fuel cell described above, and will not be limited here.

Indicates that the electrolytic cell is in Power consumption at any time This indicates the minimum power consumption of the electrolytic cell. This indicates the maximum power consumption of the electrolytic cell.

[0239] Specifically, based on the electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system, with the objective function of minimizing investment cost, energy purchase cost, operating cost, wind curtailment cost, and carbon emission cost, and constrained by formulas (19), (20), and (30)-(41), a capacity optimization configuration model for the electrothermal hydrogen integrated energy system considering refined modeling of hydrogen energy equipment was established. Then, based on the MATLAB simulation platform, the capacity optimization configuration model was solved by calling the GUROBI solver using Yalmip, which yielded the configuration capacity of hydrogen storage equipment, EL, and PEMFC, as well as the processing status of all equipment in the system. The capacity configuration schemes for the three types of equipment are shown in Table 1.
[0240] Table 1 Capacity Configuration Schemes for Three Types of Equipment
[0241]
[0242] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7The diagrams show the power balance of various devices in the integrated electrothermal-hydrogen energy system. (a) is the electrical power balance, (b) is the thermal power balance, (c) is the gas load power balance, and (d) is the hydrogen power balance. The electrical power balance diagram shows that when considering the PEMFC's alternating thermal and power characteristics, the system purchases very little electricity from the upstream grid. This is partly due to the system's full utilization of new energy sources, and partly due to the increased electrical power output of CHP and PEMFC during low-to-mid-day wind power periods. The thermal power balance diagram shows that the system mainly relies on PEMFC and CHP, with only a small amount of GB and thermal storage equipment needed for supplementation at very rare times. The hydrogen power balance diagram shows that the system inputs surplus wind power into the EL equipment for hydrogen production. Part of the hydrogen energy is directly supplied to the PEMFC for cogeneration, part is stored as backup energy in the hydrogen storage equipment, and a portion is transported to MR for natural gas synthesis. Because hydrogen energy undergoes multiple energy conversions before being transported to GB and CHP for power supply via MR synthesis of natural gas, resulting in energy loss, and because hydrogen energy in PEMFC has high thermal power generation efficiency and reduces an intermediate energy conversion step, hydrogen energy is preferentially transported to PEMFC for thermal power generation, with a small amount of hydrogen being transported to MR. The gas load power balance diagram also shows that the natural gas consumption of gas load, CHP, and GB is mainly met by purchasing natural gas. Since the thermal load reduces reliance on GB, the cost of purchasing natural gas is reduced.
[0243] Compared with conventional methods that use a fixed value to describe the energy conversion efficiency of equipment, the present invention significantly improves both economic and environmental benefits. Table 2 shows the cost comparison results between the method of the present invention and existing methods.
[0244] Table 2. Cost Comparison Results of the Invention Method and Existing Methods
[0245]
[0246] As shown in Table 2, the method of this invention exhibits significant advantages in both total cost and the cost of each component. The total cost is RMB 4.2564 million, a 32.3% reduction compared to the previous scheme's RMB 6.2808 million, demonstrating outstanding economic benefits. Specifically, the investment cost is RMB 127,000, far lower than the previous scheme, indicating greater efficiency in initial investment; the operating cost is RMB 3,400, a significant reduction compared to the previous scheme, reflecting the significant advantages of this scheme in system operation optimization and the ability to flexibly adjust the power of each device; the energy purchase cost is also reduced, indicating a more optimized energy utilization or procurement strategy; and the introduction of a tiered carbon trading mechanism better constrains the carbon emissions of each device. Furthermore, both methods have zero wind curtailment costs, indicating full energy utilization and no waste. Overall, this invention is significantly superior to previous schemes in terms of both economy and technology, especially in the optimization of operating costs and carbon trading costs, possessing high promotional value, while its potential environmental benefits align with the trend of green development. Future research can further verify its environmental contribution using specific carbon emission data.
