Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optimization scheduling technology for electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling systems, specifically relating to optimization scheduling methods, systems, equipment, and media for electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling systems based on the dynamic feed ratio of methanol synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] The electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling system, a key energy system connecting renewable energy, hydrogen energy, and methanol chemical processes, integrates multiple stages such as power generation, energy storage, hydrogen conversion, and chemical synthesis. It enables the synergistic conversion and complementary utilization of various energy forms, including electricity, hydrogen, and alcohols. This system is of great significance for the large-scale absorption of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, reducing carbon emissions in the chemical industry, and improving overall energy efficiency.

[0003] However, the stable and economical operation of the electro-hydrogen-methanol coupling system highly depends on the precise characterization of the operating characteristics of its internal equipment and the optimized scheduling of the system. In this system, the methanol synthesis process is the core process that converts "green hydrogen" and captured carbon dioxide into the high-value chemical "green methanol," and it is a key node where energy and material flows converge. The actual methanol synthesis reaction process is complex, and its output efficiency is not constant but exhibits a strong nonlinear coupling relationship with the feed ratio of the input reactor (usually referring to the mass ratio or molar ratio of carbon dioxide to hydrogen). To simplify the model and facilitate the solution, most existing technical solutions assume that the efficiency of the methanol synthesis equipment is a constant value or a piecewise linear value. This simplification cannot accurately reflect the actual operating characteristics of the methanol synthesis process under different operating conditions, resulting in a significant deviation between the established optimized scheduling model and physical reality. Consequently, the scheduling scheme generated based on this model cannot achieve the expected economic and energy efficiency levels in practical applications, limiting the full realization of the system's potential.

[0004] On the other hand, the strong nonlinear relationship between methanol synthesis efficiency and feed ratio makes the optimal scheduling model of the entire electro-hydrogen-methanol coupling system a complex nonlinear optimization problem, difficult to solve effectively using traditional linear programming or mixed-integer linear programming solvers. To address this, existing solutions employ artificial intelligence algorithms, such as traditional genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization. However, these traditional intelligent algorithms generally suffer from inherent defects when dealing with such high-dimensional, nonlinear, and multi-constraint complex engineering optimization problems. These defects include premature convergence, susceptibility to local optima, and difficulty in balancing global exploration and local exploitation capabilities, resulting in low-quality scheduling schemes and inaccurate solutions that fail to meet practical engineering requirements.

[0005] In summary, the main problems in the existing technology can be summarized into two points: first, the model accuracy is insufficient, and the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the core conversion process (methanol synthesis) are not accurately characterized; second, the solution capability is lacking, and there is a lack of optimization algorithms that can efficiently and accurately handle such complex nonlinear scheduling models. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on the aforementioned shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology, one of the objectives of this invention is to at least solve one or more of the aforementioned problems in the existing technology. In other words, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide an optimized scheduling method, system, device, and medium for an electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling system based on the dynamic feed ratio of methanol synthesis that meets one or more of the aforementioned requirements, so as to overcome the defects of existing model simplification and inefficient solution, and to take into account the accuracy and practicality of the scheduling scheme.

[0016] The feed ratio is the mass ratio of carbon dioxide to hydrogen fed into the methanol synthesis equipment.

[0017] As a preferred option, the objective function in step S3 is to minimize the total system operating cost, which is the sum of the cost of purchasing electricity and the cost of purchasing hydrogen, minus the revenue from selling electricity, selling hydrogen and selling methanol.

[0018] The system optimization scheduling model must meet the following constraints: system equipment model constraints, electricity purchase and sale constraints, hydrogen purchase and sale power constraints, methanol sale power constraints, wind turbine output constraints, photovoltaic output constraints, power balance constraints, hydrogen power balance constraints, feed ratio constraints, and methanol synthesis equipment output efficiency constraints.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, step S4 employs a preference-guided multi-strategy improved genetic algorithm to solve the system optimization scheduling model, including the following steps:

[0020] S41. Initialize the population. Individuals in the population include decision variables for equipment start-up and shutdown, power allocation, and feed ratio. A multivariate mutation strategy is used to enhance diversity.

[0021] S42. Calculate the objective function value of each individual in the population as the fitness;

[0022] S43. Perform the selection operation, embedding a preference guidance mechanism during the selection process to prioritize individuals that perform better in terms of methanol synthesis efficiency and operating cost;

This reduces external energy purchase costs while increasing the output of high-value-added products (methanol), achieving a synergistic increase in system operating economy and energy conversion efficiency.

[0035] 3. To address the challenges posed by nonlinear models, this invention designs a preference-guided, multi-strategy improved genetic algorithm. This algorithm ensures the search direction closely aligns with the core optimization objective through a preference-guided mechanism, maintains population diversity and accelerates convergence through multivariate mutation and greedy crossover strategies, and dynamically balances global exploration and local exploitation through a multi-level search mechanism. These targeted improvements effectively overcome the shortcomings of traditional intelligent algorithms, such as premature convergence and susceptibility to local optima, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of finding the optimal scheduling scheme.

[0049] To facilitate a better understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, its application scenarios will be explained before providing a detailed explanation of the specific implementation methods.

[0050] The electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling system optimization scheduling method described in the embodiments of this specification is applied to the planning, design, and real-time operation scheduling of integrated energy systems that include renewable energy power generation, hydrogen conversion, and methanol synthesis. In these scenarios, the application of the electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling system optimization scheduling method aims to improve system economy, increase energy utilization efficiency, ensure stable system operation, and achieve refined scheduling.

[0051] The following is a brief explanation of the electro-hydrogen alcohol coupling system, the refined nonlinear operating model, and the preference-guided multi-strategy improved genetic algorithm involved in several embodiments of this specification:

[0052] An electro-hydrogen-methanol coupling system is a comprehensive energy system that tightly couples multiple processes, including renewable energy power generation, water electrolysis for hydrogen production, carbon dioxide capture, and methanol synthesis. Typical components include, but are not limited to: renewable energy power generation equipment such as wind turbines and photovoltaic systems; energy storage equipment such as batteries; hydrogen energy conversion and storage equipment such as electrolyzers, hydrogen storage tanks, and hydrogen fuel cells; carbon capture equipment; and methanol synthesis equipment. This system achieves the synergistic conversion and complementary utilization of the three energy carriers—electricity, hydrogen, and methanol—and is a key infrastructure for enhancing renewable energy absorption capacity and producing green fuels and chemical feedstocks ("green methanol").

[0053] A refined nonlinear operating model refers to a mathematical model established for methanol synthesis equipment that accurately reflects its actual operating characteristics. Unlike the constant efficiency or piecewise linear models commonly used in existing technologies, the core of this model lies in modeling the output efficiency of the methanol synthesis equipment as a nonlinear function of its feed ratio (mass ratio of carbon dioxide to hydrogen). This model preferably uses interpolation fitting methods to fit experimental or theoretical data into a polynomial function, thereby continuously and accurately describing the complex impact of dynamic changes in the feed ratio on output efficiency. This model is a key technological foundation for improving the accuracy of the entire optimization scheduling method.

[0054] The preference-guided multi-strategy improved genetic algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm specifically designed for efficiently and accurately solving the complex nonlinear optimization scheduling model constructed in this invention. It is a multi-faceted improvement on the traditional genetic algorithm framework, with core features including: 1. Preference-guided mechanism: In the selection operation, individuals are prioritized not only based on their overall objective function value but also on their superior performance in specific key performance indicators (such as methanol synthesis efficiency and operating cost), thus guiding the population towards a more practically beneficial direction. 2. Multi-strategy collaboration: The algorithm integrates multiple mutation strategies (such as exchange, reversal, and insertion), greedy crossover based on extreme value tracking, and multi-level search (combining local refined search and global perturbation search), effectively balancing the algorithm's global exploration capability and local development capability, significantly overcoming the shortcomings of traditional algorithms such as premature convergence and getting trapped in local optima. 3. Targeted design: The improved strategy of this algorithm is designed specifically for the characteristics of decision variables (such as start / stop state, power, and feed ratio) in the optimal scheduling model of the electro-hydrogen-ethanol coupling system, thus outperforming general algorithms in both solution accuracy and efficiency.

[0157] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The preference-guided multi-strategy improved genetic algorithm described in the above steps includes the following steps:

[0158] Step 1: Initialization. Set the maximum number of generations and randomly generate N individuals. Individual variables include equipment start / stop status, power allocation, methanol feed ratio, and energy storage charging / discharging decisions. To increase population diversity, a multivariate mutation strategy is introduced during initialization. Three mutation methods are selected: exchange mutation, reverse mutation, and insertion mutation. Different selection probabilities are assigned to these three mutations to avoid getting trapped in local optima. The new individuals after multivariate mutation are used as the initial population.

[0162] Step 5: Mutation Operations. Perform multivariate mutation operations, such as exchange, reversal, and insertion, on some offspring individuals to maintain population diversity and escape local optima.

[0163] Step 6: Multi-level search: After selection, crossover, and mutation operations, the next generation of the population is obtained. The objective function value is calculated and the population is sorted according to the objective function value. For elite individuals, a local search strategy based on individual extrema is further applied: greedy improvements are used for high-impact individual variables such as feed ratio and power allocation to bring them closer to the optimal solution; reversals or interval perturbations are applied to low-impact variables such as partially redundant start-stop states to increase diversity. If the population similarity exceeds a threshold, a global refined search strategy based on assimilation degree is triggered: first, continuous neighborhood perturbations are added to the continuous variables of the population, and local state reversals are performed on discrete start-stop variables to form new population individuals.

[0164] Step 7: Terminate Output. When the number of times the objective function is called reaches the maximum number of iterations, output the individual with the smallest objective function value obtained during the evolution process as the optimal solution, i.e., the optimal scheduling scheme, and terminate the calculation.
