Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy management technology, specifically to an electro-hydrogen-thermal coupled new energy system and its energy management method. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid economic growth, the consumption of fossil fuels has risen sharply, leading to an increasingly severe greenhouse effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a clean energy solution to replace traditional fossil fuels, and electro-hydrogen coupled microgrid technology, due to its significant pollution-free characteristics, is gradually becoming an important and promising branch of new distributed energy systems.

[0003] Currently, fuel cell (FC)-based electric-hydrogen-electric systems are commonly used due to their cleanliness, pollution-free operation, and high efficiency. Riad utilizes a fractional-order proportional-integral-derived (FOPID) controller to regulate the voltage of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in a DC microgrid. Under varying load conditions and photovoltaic irradiance, its performance is compared with that of an FOPID controller regulated by the Jellyfish Search Algorithm (JSA) and Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm (GWO), and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller regulated by the Artificial Rabbit Optimization Algorithm (ARO). Yousaf implements a DC microgrid capable of adapting to changing weather conditions and load demands. Through an Artificial Neural Network Energy Management System (ANN EMS) and a Quantum Reinforcement Learning-based Global Terminal Sliding Mode Control (QRL-GTSMC) controller optimized by the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSO), the system effectively manages power flow, maintaining grid stability and power balance. Bellotti proposes a novel two-layer optimization architecture for the optimized operation and control of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in microgrids: the upper layer is for economic optimization of operation and management, while the lower layer is for control optimization based on the reference governor (RG) method. This method significantly reduces abrupt changes in stack temperature and improves the overall performance of the PEMFC system. Alberizzi develops a novel mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm that provides optimal size and management for hydrogen storage units in hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES). Considering the hourly cost of electricity, the algorithm optimizes the operation of the electrolyzer and the charge / discharge phases of the hydrogen storage to achieve maximum profit. Abdo establishes a harmonic domain (HD) model for a hybrid energy system based on photovoltaics and hydrogen / fuel cells, providing the steady-state space calculation of the system. The HD solution uses a single matrix operation to provide waveforms for each state of the system, requiring fewer computational resources to model the switching devices.

[0004] However, the energy management methods proposed above failed to fully consider the effective utilization of heat generated during operation in the study of operation optimization and capacity configuration of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) in microgrids, resulting in serious wind and solar curtailment and weakening the overall utilization efficiency of renewable energy to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies that fail to adequately utilize the heat generated during operation, leading to severe wind and solar power curtailment, this invention proposes an electro-hydrogen-thermal coupled new energy system and its energy management method. This system considers the utilization of waste heat from fuel cells and optimizes the system's capacity configuration and energy management to meet heating demands in different seasons, thereby solving the problems existing in the prior art.

The input terminals of the solid oxide fuel cell and the gas turbine are respectively connected to the output terminals of the hydrogen storage tank, and their output terminals are both connected to the AC bus to supply power. At the same time, the waste heat generated by the solid oxide fuel cell and the gas turbine is transported to the molten salt thermal storage tank. The molten salt thermal storage tank is used to supply thermal energy.

[0014] Based on the aforementioned power differential and outdoor temperature, the following energy management strategy will be implemented:

[0015] When the power generation of wind and solar power exceeds the load demand and the outdoor temperature is above zero, the alkaline electrolyzer is started first to produce hydrogen; if the hydrogen storage tank has a hydrogen storage capacity of 10% to 90% and the power of the alkaline electrolyzer is insufficient, the battery charging and molten salt storage tank heating are started in sequence to absorb the remaining power.

[0016] When the wind and solar power generation exceeds the load demand and the outdoor temperature is below zero, if the heat storage capacity of the molten salt tank is less than 50%, the fuel cell and gas turbine will be started to provide combined heating, and the remaining wind and solar power generation will be used to produce hydrogen or store heat.

[0017] When the wind and solar power generation is less than the load demand and the outdoor temperature is above zero, the fuel cell will be started first to supply power. If the hydrogen storage is insufficient or the fuel cell power is insufficient, the gas turbine or battery will be used to supplement the power supply.

[0018] When the wind and solar power generation is less than the load demand and the outdoor temperature is below zero, if the heat storage capacity of the molten salt tank is less than 50%, the fuel cell and gas turbine will be started to provide power and heat in combination, while the battery will be used to supplement the power supply.

[0041] This invention utilizes the coordinated scheduling of hydrogen production via electrolyzers, battery charging, and molten salt thermal storage to convert excess electrical energy from wind and solar power generation into hydrogen, electricity, or thermal energy for storage, significantly reducing the waste of renewable energy. By storing waste heat from solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and gas turbines in molten salt thermal storage tanks, it not only provides electricity but also heat, achieving combined heat and power (CHP) and increasing the overall system efficiency to over 80%. Through an electro-hydrogen-thermal multi-energy coupling and dynamic management strategy, this method precisely regulates the output of units other than wind and solar power generation, ensuring energy balance among all units. In summer, it effectively absorbs excess wind power and meets summer electricity demand; in winter, it meets the load's electricity and heating needs, achieving coupled control of electricity, hydrogen, and heat, reducing wind and solar curtailment rates, and improving the overall energy utilization rate of the system.

When the wind and solar power generation is less than the load demand and the outdoor temperature is above zero, the fuel cell will be started first to supply power. If the hydrogen storage is insufficient or the fuel cell power is insufficient, the gas turbine or battery will be used to supplement the power supply. When the wind and solar power generation is less than the load demand and the outdoor temperature is below zero, if the heat storage capacity of the molten salt tank is less than 50%, the fuel cell and gas turbine will be started to provide power and heat in combination, while the battery will be used to supplement the power supply.
