Detailed Implementation
[0016] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a method for optimizing the parameters of an electrolyzer operating range, including: Step 11: Obtain real-time operating status data of the electrolytic cell and external power system data; Step 12: Based on the real-time operating status data, obtain the electrolytic cell voltage and current efficiency; Step 13: Obtain the hydrogen production energy consumption based on the electrolyzer voltage and the current efficiency; Step 14: Based on the hydrogen production energy consumption, divide the operating range of the electrolyzer into multiple operating ranges; Step 15: Based on the external power system data, perform rolling optimization to solve the multi-objective optimization function, and dynamically determine the optimal operating range of the electrolyzer in multiple operating ranges; Step 16: Control the electrolytic cell to operate within the optimal operating range.
[0018] In this embodiment, in step 11, real-time operating status data is collected by sensors deployed in the electrolyzer system, including electrolyte temperature and input current; real-time electricity price, wind power output forecast, and photovoltaic power output forecast are obtained through the energy management system or grid data interface.
[0019] In step 12, based on the obtained electrolyte temperature and input current, the corresponding electrolytic cell voltage and current efficiency are obtained through the voltage model and current efficiency model.
[0020] In step 13, the hydrogen production energy consumption is the energy consumption for producing one unit of hydrogen. The unit is This indicator reflects the electrical energy consumed in producing each standard cubic meter of hydrogen and is the most direct indicator for measuring operational energy efficiency.
[0021] In step 14, the different hydrogen production energy consumption can divide the operating power range into three functionally oriented zones: the efficiency zone, the economic zone, and the safety zone. The efficiency zone has the lowest unit hydrogen production energy consumption. Although the power consumption is high, the efficiency is high and the unit hydrogen production power consumption is the lowest. The economic zone is suitable for high electricity prices or grid peak shaving needs. By sacrificing some efficiency, the operating cost is reduced. If the electrolyzer maintains the efficiency zone, although the efficiency is high, it requires a large amount of high-priced electricity, resulting in the increase in electricity price cost exceeding the energy savings brought by the efficiency improvement. The safety zone is used for emergency equipment protection and to deal with power shortages.
[0022] In step 15, the multi-objective optimization function simultaneously minimizes energy consumption, power fluctuations (affecting lifetime), and operating costs, combining external market and environmental signals, internal equipment characteristics, and multiple conflicting objectives through "prediction." optimization The "rolling" mechanism makes forward-looking and intelligent optimal decisions, dynamically providing the answer to which range of operation of the electrolyzer yields the highest overall benefit. The rolling optimization solution process starts from the current state, predicts the system behavior at multiple future time points based on a multi-objective optimization function, solves the above multi-objective function under constraints (such as power change ΔP≤M, where M is the power change gradient constraint), outputs the optimal control sequence for a future period, and implements the optimal operating range command at the current time.
[0023] In step 16, the optimal operating range represents a target power range, which can be converted into a specific input current control signal and sent to the electrolytic cell's regulation system. Through closed-loop control, the input current is precisely adjusted so that the actual operating power is stabilized within the optimal operating range.
[0024] This technical solution maximizes the overall operational benefits of the electrolyzer, solves the problem of balancing multiple objectives in the hydrogen production process, significantly reduces the unit hydrogen production energy consumption while improving energy utilization efficiency, thereby effectively extending the service life of the equipment and reducing the cost of hydrogen production.

This indicates the energy consumption for hydrogen production.
[0033] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 14, dividing the operating range of the electrolyzer according to the hydrogen production energy consumption to obtain multiple operating ranges, may include: Step 141, when the hydrogen production energy consumption < The operating range of the electrolytic cell is a safe zone; Step 142, when <The energy consumption for hydrogen production< The operating range of the electrolytic cell is the economic zone; Step 143, when <The energy consumption for hydrogen production< The operating range of the electrolytic cell is the efficiency range.
[0034] In this embodiment, the operating range of the electrolyzer is divided into a safe zone, an economic zone, and an efficiency zone based on the hydrogen production energy consumption being within a preset threshold range; , and That is, the first threshold range, the second threshold range, and the third threshold range.

[0036] In this embodiment, the process of constructing the multi-objective optimization function includes: (1) Integrate the instantaneous power to obtain the cumulative energy consumption; specifically including: according to This yields the cumulative energy consumption within the current scrolling window; where, This is the set time for the scrolling window; It represents the cumulative energy consumption within the current scrolling window; It is the voltage of the electrolytic cell; This is the input current.
[0037] (2) According to The changing power is obtained; Specifically, It is the difference between the instantaneous power in the new cycle (new rolling window) and the instantaneous power in the previous cycle, which is the change in power between the two cycles; It is the instantaneous power within the current new cycle; It is the instantaneous power within the previous cycle.

Indicates the overall operating cost; Indicates real-time electricity price cost; This indicates the maintenance cost during the electrolytic cell's rolling cycle; This indicates cumulative energy consumption.
[0039] (4) Based on the cumulative energy consumption, the variable power, and the comprehensive operating cost, construct a multi-objective optimization function; the multi-objective optimization function is as follows: ; in, , , This represents the weights of the first objective, the second objective, and the third objective in a multi-objective weighting system. This represents the lowest energy consumption for hydrogen production in the efficiency zone; Indicates the rated power of the electrolytic cell; This indicates the lowest cost per unit of hydrogen production in the efficiency zone.
[0040] In step 151, based on the three scenario characteristics of wind and solar power output status, electricity price period, and equipment operating condition, following... Based on the principle of dynamically adjusting multi-objective weights according to the external power system data, when wind and solar power output is sufficient and electricity prices are low: [the following applies:] [Increase / reduce] The weighting of the parameters ensures the electrolyzer operates within its efficiency range, aiming for the lowest energy consumption per unit of hydrogen production; however, wind and solar power output fluctuates significantly, necessitating improvements. Prioritize power stability; during peak electricity price periods, wind and solar power output is low: increase... We assign weights to prioritize cost control; and update the multi-objective weights accordingly to obtain the updated multi-objective optimization function.
[0041] In step 152, the process needs to satisfy preset constraints, such as power variation ΔP ≤ M, where M is the power variation gradient constraint. Similarly, safety constraints such as input current and electrolyte temperature must also be satisfied to prevent a physically infeasible final result during the optimization process. Afterward, possible future control sequences are attempted. For each attempt, the future state of the system (power, energy consumption, cost, etc.) under that control sequence is deduced, and the function value is calculated based on the deduced state. The final value obtained is the optimal control sequence for the current moment. By implementing this value, the optimal operating range for the current moment is determined. Only the first element of the future control sequence is taken; in the next cycle, data is re-acquired, the function is updated, and the corresponding future control sequence is calculated.

By controlling the input current within this range, the electrolyzer is kept in the optimal operating range, thereby achieving a balance between multiple objectives such as cost and electrolyzer life.

This method can move from passive, coarse-grained control to intelligent operation with forward-looking decision-making, thereby reducing hydrogen production costs and extending equipment lifespan.
