[0047] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The features described in the following examples and embodiments can be combined with each other insofar as they do not conflict.
[0048] Reference is made to Figure 1The wind power hydrogen production system based on seabed energy storage hydrogen storage of the application comprises a sea surface offshore wind power hydrogen production unit and a seabed hydrogen storage unit, a seabed compressed air energy storage device and a flexible water storage bag under seawater. The offshore wind power hydrogen production unit comprises a floating wind power platform, a converter and an electrolytic hydrogen production unit. The floating wind power platform converts wind energy into electric energy output. The electric energy is converted into direct current suitable for the operation of the electrolytic cell in the electrolytic hydrogen production unit through the converter. The electrolytic cell uses direct current to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen. The seabed hydrogen storage unit comprises a first rigid non-standard pressure container. The interior of the first rigid non-standard pressure container is divided into a first condition water cavity and a hydrogen storage cavity with a flexible membrane. The first condition water cavity of the first rigid non-standard pressure container is used to contain condition water. The hydrogen storage cavity of the first rigid non-standard pressure container is used to store hydrogen produced by the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit. The hydrogen storage cavity of the first rigid non-standard pressure container is connected with the electrolytic cell or hydrogen equipment in the electrolytic hydrogen production unit through a flexible riser to realize hydrogen charging and discharging. The first condition water cavity of the first rigid non-standard pressure container is connected with the flexible water storage bag through a flexible riser. The seabed compressed air energy storage device comprises a second rigid non-standard pressure container, a compressor and a turbine. The interior of the second rigid non-standard pressure container is provided with a piston mechanism. The interior of the second rigid non-standard pressure container is divided into a second condition water cavity and an air cavity through the piston mechanism. The second condition water cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container is used to contain condition water. The air cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container is used to store compressed air. The setting of the piston mechanism makes the condition water in the second condition water cavity below the piston mechanism easy to be pumped in and out. In the seabed compressed air energy storage device, the second rigid non-standard pressure container is used as a gas storage tank. During the gas charging process of the gas storage tank, the compressor and the turbine are connected with the electrolytic hydrogen production unit through a flexible riser. The sea air of the electrolytic hydrogen production unit is injected into the seabed compressed air energy storage device through the flexible riser. The compressor delivers the compressed air to the air cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container, and then stores the compressed air in the air cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container. The condition water is pumped out of the second condition water cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container and then enters the flexible water storage bag. During the compressed air release process, the turbine can be driven to release energy. The condition water is driven by the pressure difference and rushes into the second condition water cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container from the flexible water storage bag, and is provided with a pump to control water circulation. During the energy storage and release process, the seabed compressed air energy storage device performs the gas charging and discharging actions according to the control instructions. The first condition water cavity of the seabed hydrogen storage unit and the second condition water cavity of the seabed compressed air energy storage device are connected with the flexible water storage bag through flexible risers. The two share the flexible water storage bag. The interior of the flexible water storage bag stores condition water and is isolated from the surrounding seawater. In this way, the condition water can flow.
[0049] Further, the installation depth of the seabed hydrogen storage unit depends on the hydrogen storage required pressure. The hydrogen storage required pressure directly matches the water depth static pressure. The static water pressure is used for self-balancing instead of mechanical compression. The installation depth of the seabed hydrogen storage unit is determined by the following formula:
[0050]
[0051]
[0052] wherein, represents the installation depth of the seabed hydrogen storage unit under seawater, represents the hydrostatic pressure, represents the water density, represents the gravity acceleration, represents the required pressure of hydrogen storage, represents the atmospheric pressure.
[0053] As Figure 1 indicated, the hydrogen generated by the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit is filled into the hydrogen storage cavity of the seabed hydrogen storage unit, or the amount of hydrogen in the hydrogen storage cavity changes when the useful hydrogen equipment is working, at this time, the membrane body of the flexible membrane attached to the hydrogen storage cavity will also be deformed, extruding the condition water in the first condition water cavity outside the flexible membrane, and pushing it to flow into the flexible water storage bag. When the hydrogen storage cavity reaches the limit pressure, the mechanical safety valve is triggered to release pressure, preventing the first rigid non-standard pressure vessel from overpressure explosion. Seawater as a natural heat sink, indirectly cools the seabed hydrogen storage unit through the container wall of the first rigid non-standard pressure vessel, without the need for additional cooling equipment, simplifying thermal management.
[0054] Further, the working state of the seabed compressed air energy storage device includes energy storage state and energy release state, and the seabed compressed air energy storage device exchanges energy with the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit through the riser soft cable according to the power demand, as Figure 2 indicated, the control law is:
[0055]
[0056] wherein, represents the pulse duty cycle connected between the seabed compressed air energy storage device and the DC bus converter; represents the PI controller of the circuit, and s represents the Laplace operator, represents the proportional coefficient of the PI controller, represents the integral coefficient of the PI controller; represents the output power reference value, represents the energy storage output power.
[0057] Further, the calculation formula of the output power reference value is:
[0058]
[0059] wherein, represents the total power of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit, represents the power consumption of the electrolytic hydrogen production load.
[0060] Further, the calculation formula of the energy storage output power is:
[0061]
[0062] In the formula, represents the compression power of the compressor, represents the energy release power of the turbine.
[0063] It should be noted that, in the absence of energy storage, the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit must be highly dynamic or need to cut a large amount of wind power through the system of hydrogen production by electrolyzing water. With the help of energy storage, frequent on-off operation of the electrolytic cell can be avoided, thereby prolonging the service life of the electrolytic cell.
[0064] Further, the compression power of the compressor is calculated by the following formula:
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, is the specific heat capacity, is the gas constant, is the gas mass flow when the air is compressed, is the outlet temperature of the compressor, is the inlet temperature of the compressor, is the compression ratio, is the adiabatic index, is the charging efficiency.
[0068] Further, the energy release power of the turbine is calculated by the following formula:
[0069]
[0070]
[0071] In the formula, is the gas mass flow when the compressed air is released, is the inlet temperature of the turbine, is the outlet temperature of the turbine, is the expansion ratio, is the discharging efficiency.
[0072] Further, the first rigid non-standard pressure container and the second rigid non-standard pressure container are both provided with pressure sensors for real-time detection of the internal pressure of the container of the seabed hydrogen storage unit and the seabed compressed air energy storage device, and the system is communicated and cooperated. The first rigid non-standard pressure container is provided with a safety valve, and the second rigid non-standard pressure container is provided with a compressed air valve. The pressure sensor installed on the first rigid non-standard pressure container is communicated with the safety valve (i.e. a mechanical safety valve) to ensure the safe operation of the seabed hydrogen storage unit; the pressure sensor installed on the second rigid non-standard pressure container is communicated with the compressor to control the operation of the compressor according to the pressure detection data.
[0073] Further, the first rigid non-standard pressure container and the second rigid non-standard pressure container are both built with reinforced concrete structure. Since hydrogen is an industrial product that needs to be guaranteed in output and purity, a flexible film needs to be added in the first rigid non-standard pressure container, i.e. a hydrogen cavity for storing hydrogen is additionally provided with a flexible film, and the flexible film of the hydrogen storage cavity is made of reinforced fluororubber and polyamide fabric laminated film, which can prevent hydrogen permeation and seawater corrosion. In addition, since there is no metal pressure-bearing component, and the reinforced concrete shell has high compressive strength, the flexible film is uniformly subjected to internal pressure, which can avoid the hydrogen embrittlement problem of metal containers and completely eliminate the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
[0074] Further, the flexible water storage bag is made of aramid fiber or PVC composite film material, which has the advantages of pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, flexibility and biological fouling protection. The flexible water storage bag stores condition water inside and isolates it from the surrounding seawater, which can effectively avoid the problems of corrosion and biological fouling accompanied by seawater. The seabed hydrogen storage unit and the seabed compressed air energy storage device share one flexible water storage bag, which can effectively reduce the equipment investment cost.
[0075] It is worth mentioning that the embodiment of the present application also provides a control method of the above-mentioned wind power hydrogen production system based on seabed energy storage and hydrogen storage. The control method specifically comprises: real-time monitoring of the power generation power of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit and the electrolytic hydrogen production load consumption power of the electrolytic cell, determining the current energy demand, wherein the energy demand refers to the system power surplus or shortage; generating hydrogen by the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit and charging it into the hydrogen storage cavity of the seabed hydrogen storage unit; real-time detection of the internal pressure of the container of the seabed hydrogen storage unit and the seabed compressed air energy storage device to obtain the pressure detection value; controlling the seabed compressed air energy storage device according to the current energy demand and the pressure detection value to balance the system energy, smooth the fluctuation of the wind power generation power and ensure the stable operation of the electrolytic cell. The seabed compressed air energy storage device can interact with the whole power system, maintain energy balance, and can be used to smooth the fluctuation of wind power output, which is beneficial to ensure the stable operation of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit.
[0076] Further, the submarine compressed air energy storage device is controlled according to the current energy demand and the pressure detection value, and specifically includes: when the system power is surplus, that is, the power generation power of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit is greater than the power consumption of the electrolytic hydrogen production load of the electrolytic cell , the submarine compressed air energy storage device drives the compressor by using the surplus power of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit, so as to control the action of the compressor according to the pressure detection value, compress the air to a high-pressure state, inject the compressed air into the air cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container, generate a large pressure difference energy storage, and extrude the condition water in the second condition water cavity from the second rigid non-standard pressure container to the flexible water storage bag, so that the compressed air and the condition water are separated by the piston mechanism, and the constant pressure is maintained by using the seawater static pressure. When the system power is insufficient, that is, the power generation power of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit is less than the power consumption of the electrolytic hydrogen production load of the electrolytic cell , the compressed air valve is opened, the submarine compressed air energy storage device releases the compressed air, the compressed air flows to the offshore platform where the electrolytic hydrogen production unit is located along the flexible riser, the high-pressure air drives the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit to generate power, outputs the electric energy, and starts the turbine to release energy, after the air is released, the condition water in the flexible water storage bag automatically flows back to the second condition water cavity of the second rigid non-standard pressure container under the driving of the pressure difference, so as to maintain the constant pressure in the second rigid non-standard pressure container.
[0077] In summary, the submarine hydrogen storage unit and the submarine compressed air energy storage device are used for energy storage and hydrogen storage in the submarine, the submarine energy storage and hydrogen storage and the offshore wind power hydrogen production are cooperatively designed, the efficient storage and utilization of energy are realized, the problem that the energy storage and hydrogen storage of the offshore wind power hydrogen production unit are affected by the complex offshore environment is solved, and the present application has remarkable economic benefits and environmental benefits, and is suitable for large-scale offshore wind power hydrogen production scenes.
