[0002] Water electrolysis technology has become an important development direction for coupling fluctuating renewable energy sources to produce hydrogen due to its fast response characteristics, high current density operation capability, and excellent variable load performance. However, under the driving of intermittent power sources such as wind and solar power, the system faces complex working conditions such as frequent start-stop and severe power fluctuations, leading to problems such as imbalance of gas-liquid two-phase flow distribution, mismatch of multi-physical field coupling response, etc., which easily cause safety hazards such as excessive hydrogen in oxygen (HTO) concentration, temperature overshoot, and pressure imbalance. The existing system performance prediction methods have the following limitations: traditional models mostly focus on the static characteristic analysis of the electrolysis stack itself, ignoring the dynamic interaction mechanism of key components such as gas-liquid separator, heat exchanger, and pipe network; the HTO generation pathway is complex, and existing methods are difficult to accurately predict the dynamic variation of HTO; the transient characteristics of phase equilibrium and two-phase flow under wide power fluctuations, as well as the strong coupling effect between thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and fluid dynamics, are not fully considered, resulting in significant deviations in the prediction of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition.

[0181] In one embodiment, due to the high operational complexity of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis systems under fluctuating renewable energy conditions, and the involvement of strongly coupled electrochemical-thermodynamic-two-phase flow multiphysics processes, directly using commercial multiphysics simulation software for full dynamic simulation of the system results in enormous computational demands and difficulty in convergence. Furthermore, existing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis system models have the following limitations: traditional methods often focus on static electrolyzer modeling, neglecting the dynamic separation characteristics of the gas-liquid separator, the thermodynamic response of the heat exchanger, and the impact of pipeline flow distribution on system safety; and they lack a multi-parameter collaborative prediction mechanism, making it impossible to simultaneously obtain the dynamic correlation characteristics of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, gas phase partial pressure, and liquid phase saturation.

Through the verification of multi-parameter dynamic prediction accuracy and full-system coupled simulation capability, this method fully demonstrates its practical value in the safe operation and performance optimization of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis systems.
[0272] Furthermore, the comprehensive predictive power of the multi-physics coupling model of the entire system in this invention is achieved by establishing refined physical models of the electrolytic reactor, gas-liquid separator, heat exchanger, heater, and pipeline network, and dynamically coupling them to construct a system-level simulation framework covering the entire "electrolysis-separation-heat exchange-circulation" chain. This model breaks through the limitations of traditional methods that are limited to single components or static operating conditions. It can comprehensively consider the strong coupling effect between electrochemical reactions, thermodynamic responses, phase equilibrium, and gas-liquid two-phase flow under wide power fluctuations, and achieves high-precision and high-efficiency dynamic prediction of key parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, gas phase partial pressure, liquid phase saturation, hydrogen in oxygen (HTO), and oxygen in hydrogen (OTH) within the system. This system-wide modeling approach effectively captures the dynamic interactions and influences between components (such as the impact of changes in the electric heating power of the heater on the temperature and partial pressure of the electrolytic reactor, and the effect of the cooling effect of the heat exchanger on the phase equilibrium within the gas-liquid separator), significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the prediction results and providing a comprehensive "digital twin" foundation for the safe operation of the system. The electrochemical-thermal-fluid multi-field coupling driving effect of the electrolytic reactor model serves as the core of energy conversion for the entire system. The electrolytic reactor model integrates four major physical fields—electrochemistry, phase equilibrium, two-phase flow, and thermodynamics—through equations (1) to (15). This model not only accurately describes the generation and transport processes of hydrogen and oxygen gases through reaction source terms (equations 2 to 4) and electroosmosis drag (equation 9), but also dynamically links thermodynamic processes such as electrolytic heat generation, environmental heat dissipation, and fluid cooling with electrochemical processes through heat source terms (equations 12 to 14) and temperature equations (equations 11, 15). This multi-field coupling mechanism ensures that the complete physical chain from electrical energy input to gas production and heat release is accurately characterized, providing the most fundamental driving force and constraints for the dynamic behavior of the entire system. The dynamic separation and volume balance of the gas-liquid separator model defines the separation efficiency of gas and liquid through equations (16) to (17), and dynamically calculates the liquid level, volume, dissolved gas concentration, saturation, pressure, and temperature inside the separator using equations (18) to (27). This model accurately simulates the non-ideal nature of the key gas-liquid separation process (i.e., 100% separation cannot be achieved), providing crucial input data for calculating HTO and OTH concentrations. Meanwhile, by dynamically calculating the bottom liquid volume (Equation 20), the model can realistically reflect the dynamic impact of system start-up and shutdown, water replenishment / drainage, and other operations on the separator liquid level, ensuring system pressure balance and operational safety. It is an important dynamic hub connecting the electrolysis core and the circulation system. The heat exchanger and heater models describe the cooling process of the heat exchanger and the heating process of the heater through Equations (28) to (41), respectively. These two models together constitute the system's active thermal management system.The heat exchanger model accurately calculates the cooling effect through the heat exchange source term with cooling water (Equation 34), effectively controlling the system temperature and preventing overheating; the heater model simulates the active heating process during system startup or low-power operation through the electric heating power source term (Equation 41), ensuring that the system operates within the optimal temperature range. Their precise control of system temperature directly affects gas solubility, reaction rate, and phase equilibrium, which is crucial for maintaining system stability and safety; the flow distribution and pressure transmission function of the pipeline model, through the flow distribution model of Equation (42), considers the influence of factors such as pipe friction resistance and inlet / outlet pressure difference on fluid flow. This model ensures that the material flow between different parts of the system is accurately reflected in the mathematical model, guaranteeing the continuity and consistency of flow and pressure in the entire circulation loop. As the "blood vessels" connecting the components, it dynamically transmits the local pressure and flow changes of each component to the entire system, which is an indispensable link in realizing the dynamic coupling of the entire system. The above-mentioned technologies are organically integrated to form a complete technical chain of "component mechanism modeling → dynamic coupling of the whole system → multi-parameter collaborative prediction", which provides strong theoretical support and decision-making basis for the safe, efficient and intelligent operation of water electrolysis system in the scenario of fluctuating renewable energy access.
