Figure 2 As shown, the method may include: Step S210: Obtain the current operating parameters of the photovoltaic array, spatially related environmental parameters, and meteorological data of the area where the photovoltaic array is located within the current time period, as well as the current hydrogen production status and power tracking deviation of the PEM hydrogen production cell.

[0024] Step S220: Extract features from the current operating parameters, spatially related environmental parameters, and meteorological data to obtain the spatiotemporal characteristics of photovoltaic power output.

Among them, the meteorological-power correlation characteristics can include the positive correlation coefficient between power and light intensity, the negative correlation coefficient with cloud cover, and comprehensive meteorological influencing factors. CNN image segmentation and boundary recognition methods are used to identify features in satellite cloud image data to obtain cloud spatial distribution features. These features may include cloud coverage area ratio, thickness level, and distance between cloud center and photovoltaic array. The continuous frame cloud image analysis method is used to analyze satellite cloud image data to obtain the spatiotemporal linkage characteristics of clouds. Among them, the spatiotemporal linkage characteristics of clouds can include cloud movement speed, direction, and cloud coverage area prediction mask within a preset time period in the future. The spatial correlation coefficient calculation method is used to calculate the spatial correlation characteristics of the associated photovoltaic power output data.

The second LSTM layer is used to perform deep temporal feature extraction on short-term temporal feature encoding based on the long short-term memory characteristics of the long short-term memory network, and to fuse long and short-term information to obtain long and short-term fused feature encoding. The attention mechanism layer is used to perform attention weighting on the long-short fusion feature encoding to obtain a weighted feature vector; The fully connected layer is used to perform nonlinear transformation on the weighted feature vector through the ReLU activation function to enhance the model's feature representation capability; and adjusts the output dimension according to the number of power prediction nodes in the future preset time period to realize the mapping from feature encoding to prediction results, so as to obtain the power prediction sequence of photovoltaic array in the future preset time period. The output layer is used to output the power prediction sequence of the photovoltaic array for a future preset time period.

[0028] Step S240: Based on the power prediction sequence, the current hydrogen production status, and the power tracking deviation, determine the target hydrogen production control parameters for the off-grid, energy storage-free PEM hydrogen production system in the future for a preset time period.

[0029] The hydrogen production control parameters may include: hydrogen production power, operating current of the PEM hydrogen production cell, IGBT duty cycle, cell temperature, and cell pressure.

The hydrogen production control network includes a feedforward control module and a feedback control module. The feedforward control module is used to convert the power prediction sequence into initial hydrogen production control parameters based on the dynamic characteristic model of the configured PEM hydrogen production cell; and to smooth the initial hydrogen production control parameters using low-pass filtering and / or moving average algorithms to obtain the initial hydrogen production control parameters; wherein, the dynamic characteristic model may include: electrochemical impedance model and heat transfer model; The feedback control module is used to generate a deviation correction amount based on the configured constraints of the PEM hydrogen production cell, the power prediction sequence, the current hydrogen production status, the initial hydrogen production control parameters, and the power tracking deviation; and to adjust the initial hydrogen production control parameters based on the deviation correction amount to obtain the target hydrogen production control parameters for the off-grid PEM hydrogen production system without energy storage in the future preset time period. Specifically, using the power prediction sequence as the reference trajectory, the current hydrogen production state as the initial state, and the power tracking deviation as the feedback input, and taking the constraints as the constraints of a pre-set objective function, the objective function is solved using a rolling optimization method to obtain the optimal control sequence; the first term of the optimal control sequence is used as the deviation correction; where the objective function is... ; ; ; ; ;in, This indicates the minimum operating current value of the PEM hydrogen production cell, which is user-defined and configurable.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the feedback control module uses current, temperature, and pressure as state variables, and the initial hydrogen production control parameter adjustment amount or power correction amount as control variables to construct a discrete state-space model of the PEM hydrogen production cell.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the method may further include: calculating the power tracking deviation of the PEM hydrogen production tank in the future preset time period based on the difference between the initial hydrogen production power of the PEM hydrogen production tank in the current time period and the current hydrogen production power of the PEM hydrogen production tank in the future preset time period, so as to enable the controller to calculate the target hydrogen production control parameters for the next time period in the future preset time period.

[0033] In another embodiment of this application, the feedforward control module may employ fuzzy logic or a feedforward neural network; the feedback control module may be an adaptive PID or a sliding mode control.
