Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system dispatching and operation technology, specifically to a collaborative method for ALK and PEM electric hydrogen devices based on a multi-port converter. Background Technology

[0002] Utilizing hydrogen electrolysis units to locally absorb distributed renewable energy sources, reducing backfeeding of distributed renewable energy to the main grid, and lowering hydrogen production costs are effective means to achieve dual-carbon goals and are also important technologies in response to the hydrogen energy development strategy. However, the output of distributed renewable energy sources fluctuates significantly, causing unstable load rates in hydrogen electrolysis units. Unstable load rates lead to decreased hydrogen production efficiency, thereby increasing hydrogen production costs. Different types of hydrogen electrolysis units have varying tolerances to power fluctuations: alkaline electrolyzers (ALK) have poor tolerance to power fluctuations and a relatively narrow optimal range for hydrogen production efficiency, but lower investment costs; proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEM) have higher tolerance to power fluctuations and a relatively wide optimal range for hydrogen production efficiency, but higher investment costs.

[0003] Theoretically, this problem can be solved by constructing multiple electrolytic hydrogen reactors, using multi-electrolyzer load balancing technology to improve the system's ability to withstand fluctuations in renewable energy sources. However, in application scenarios such as rural areas where electricity loads are relatively small and investment entities are more diversified, there is no economic basis for investing in multiple electrolytic hydrogen reactors for a single distributed renewable energy cluster.

[0109] Thus, the design and operation model of the ALK electrolytic cell and PEM electrolytic cell collaborative device based on the multi-port DC / DC converter were completed.

[0110] Step S200: Based on the profit model of the electro-hydrogen device, construct the optimization target for the collaborative real-time scheduling of the electro-hydrogen device, so as to carry out real-time scheduling of the ALK and PEM collaborative electro-hydrogen device for improving the overall system operation efficiency.

[0111] In this embodiment of the invention, the profit-making methods for the electric hydrogen device include three approaches: first, earning the peak-valley electricity price difference; second, helping distributed new energy clusters reduce output deviations and thus reduce their assessment fees; and third, profiting from the sale of the prepared hydrogen. The operating cost of the electric hydrogen device is mainly the cost of purchasing electricity from the distributed new energy clusters.

[0112] In summary, the optimization objectives for the collaborative real-time scheduling of the hydrogen-electricity unit are as follows:

[0130] Thus, the design of a real-time scheduling technology based on ALK and PEM collaborative hydrogen electrolysis unit for improving the overall operational efficiency of the system has been completed.

[0131] Step S300: Construct an electrolyzer capacity optimization target to perform differentiated capacity optimization for hydrogen electrolysis devices in different geographical locations. The electrolyzer capacity optimization target is to maximize the return on investment.

[0132] In this embodiment of the invention, considering that the investment costs, optimal hydrogen production ranges, and local distributed renewable energy power prediction accuracy of ALK and PEM hydrogen electro-hydrogen devices are different, directly determining the hydrogen device capacity based on the installed capacity of distributed renewable energy could easily lead to investment redundancy or insufficiency. Therefore, differentiated capacity optimization is required for hydrogen electro-hydrogen devices in different geographical locations.

[0133] The optimization objective is to maximize the return on investment. In addition, it is necessary to set constraints on the power deviation of distributed renewable energy and the amount of power fed back to ensure that the fundamental purpose of shifting the power output deviation of renewable energy is achieved.

[0134] The optimization target is calculated using the following formula:

[0135] (26)

[0136] (27)

Indicates hydrogen electrolysis device exist The reverse power during the time period, in MW; Indicates load exist Power consumption during a given time period, measured in MW.

[0151] Thus, the design of the electrolyzer capacity optimization technology, which takes into account the technical and economic characteristics of ALK and PEM electro-hydrogen devices as well as the output characteristics of distributed new energy sources, has been completed.

[0152] A set of numerical examples is used to verify the effectiveness of the above-described collaborative method for ALK and PEM electro-hydrogen devices based on multi-port converters provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0153] Suppose a rural power grid in a certain region has 6 distributed renewable energy clusters, whose day-ahead power forecast accuracy all follow a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 0.25. The total output curve and load demand curve of the distributed renewable energy in this region over 30 days are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
