Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of renewable energy hydrogen production technology, and in particular to a parameter configuration method for an off-grid ALK-PEM green energy coupled hydrogen production system. Background Technology
[0002] With the accelerated global energy transition, off-grid hydrogen production from wind and solar power, as a key technology for zero-carbon energy synthesis, is experiencing a surge in large-scale development. However, the inherent volatility of wind and solar power (with minute-level fluctuations often reaching ±30% of rated power) creates a fundamental contradiction with the rigid operating characteristics of electrolyzers, leading to a triple technical bottleneck that severely restricts the system's economics and reliability. A 2023 assessment report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicated that wind and solar power fluctuations cause electrolyzers to start and stop more than 200 times annually, resulting in hydrogen production losses of 18%-25%, equivalent to a loss of over 4,000 tons of green hydrogen production capacity per 100 megawatts of hydrogen production system per year. The root cause lies in the narrow power adaptation window of traditional electrolyzers (typically only ±10%). When wind and solar power drop to the minimum operating power threshold, they are forced to shut down. The restart process not only consumes 5%-8% of the system's total energy but also causes electrode passivation due to sudden changes in electrolyte concentration gradients, creating a vicious cycle of "shutdown-performance degradation-shutdown again."
[0003] In terms of equipment lifespan, dynamic stress caused by power fluctuations inflicts irreversible damage on core materials. The iridium-based anode catalyst in a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer (PEM) experiences sudden current density changes exceeding 0.5 A / (cm²). 2 At ·s), the lattice oxygen evolution mechanism (LOM) leads to Ir 3+ The dissolution rate increased by 300%, but the catalyst active layer decayed by more than 40% within 2000 hours (J. Electrochem. Soc. 2021). Although alkaline electrolyzers (ALK) can withstand high current densities, the nickel mesh separator, under thermal cycling shocks with a temperature change rate >2℃ / s, exhibits a 50% increased probability of microcracks due to the volume difference in phase transformation between α-Ni(OH)2 and β-Ni(OH)2, accelerating electrolyte cross-penetration. More seriously, when multiple electrolyzers are operated in parallel, traditional fixed sag coefficient control causes power backflow: during low-load periods, the lag in ALK response leads to power returning to the DC bus, causing voltage fluctuations exceeding ±15% (IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron. 2022), triggering overvoltage protection and forcibly shutting down the system. This coupling effect of electrical instability and material failure shortens the average lifespan of off-grid hydrogen production systems by 35%-40% compared to grid-connected systems.
[0004] Current parameter configuration methods have not yet broken through the dilemma of "static design - dynamic failure". The mainstream equal capacity ratio method (such as PEM:ALK = 1:1) ignores the difference in dynamic response between the two types of electrolyzers - the response time of PEM (<100ms) and ALK (>2s) differs by two orders of magnitude. This causes PEM to overload due to bearing the main load in the low load range (<30% P_rated), while ALK enters saturation due to start-up delay in the high load range (>80% P_rated). The cost optimization principle unilaterally pursues the minimization of initial investment and fails to take into account the life decay cost under fluctuating operating conditions, resulting in a 23% increase in the levelized cost of hydrogen production (LCOH). Although the fixed efficiency curve method refers to the test data under rated operating conditions, it cannot adapt to the characteristics of wind and solar fluctuation spectrum (such as power oscillations of 0.1-5Hz caused by cloud cover), and the actual operating efficiency is 12-15% lower than the theoretical value. Although Chinese invention patent application CN114538345A introduces fuzzy rule configuration parameters, it lacks global coupling modeling of "power spectrum characteristics - electrolyzer electrochemical response - hydrogen storage system buffering capacity". In actual tests at a wind farm in Qinghai, the system efficiency was only 58.7%, and the ALK diaphragm developed large-area cracks after 6 months of operation.
[0005] Ultimately, existing technologies suffer from three deep-seated flaws:
[0006] First, simplifying wind and solar fluctuations to root mean square power while ignoring their time-scale characteristics makes it impossible to distinguish the difference between the impact of second-level turbulent fluctuations and hour-level weather changes on equipment.
[0007] Secondly, the disconnect between electrical control parameters (such as the droop coefficient) and material lifetime models (such as catalyst dissolution kinetics) leads to a conflict between the goals of "maintaining efficiency" and "maintaining lifetime".
[0008] Third, the lack of a parameter coordination mechanism under the coupling constraints of thermal, electrical, and hydrogen multi-physics fields leads to insufficient design margins in the heat dissipation system, causing a chain of failures. These shortcomings trap existing off-grid hydrogen production projects in a vicious cycle of "achieving standards during commissioning but declining during operation," necessitating the development of intelligent parameter configuration methods based on a global coupling model. Summary of the Invention
