Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] This invention addresses challenges such as the mismatch between source and load distribution in time and space, poor adaptability of technological routes, and difficulties in cross-stage coordination by constructing a collaborative model of the entire hydrogen energy supply chain under an interconnected electricity-gas-hydrogen system. Firstly, based on a core architecture of "power generation-storage-transmission," a multi-technology planning and operation model is established. In the hydrogen production stage, a "maximum sequential programming method" is used to introduce 0-1 variables to achieve modular collaborative configuration of electro-hydrogen conversion technologies such as alkaline electrolyzers, proton exchange membrane electrolyzers, and solid oxide electrolyzers, optimizing the hydrogen production capacity and flexibility of each node. In the hydrogen storage stage, multi-timescale demand analysis is used to calculate the energy storage capacity requirements of each node, and 0-1 variables are introduced to coordinate high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage, liquid hydrogen storage, and cavernous hydrogen storage technologies. In the hydrogen transportation stage, combined with hydrogen tanker truck and pipeline transportation models, the path and capacity are dynamically planned based on cross-regional hydrogen load. In the conversion stage, the configuration of liquefaction and evaporation facilities is optimized based on power consumption requirements. The optimization framework employs a two-layer model: the upper layer optimizes the system operation strategy with the goal of minimizing the operating cost of the electro-gas interconnection system, while the lower layer determines the optimal capacity configuration with the goal of minimizing the investment and maintenance costs of hydrogen energy supply chain facilities. An iterative algorithm gradually converges to the global optimum. The objective function minimizes the total cost, while imposing constraints on power balance, hydrogen system balance, and equipment operation to ensure system economy and reliability. This method significantly improves the renewable energy absorption capacity and reduces the cost of hydrogen energy applications through multi-technology collaboration and spatiotemporal adjustment. The entire process is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0016] This invention proposes an energy allocation optimization control method for an integrated hydrogen energy storage and transportation supply chain that considers hybrid electric-hydrogen energy storage. The implementation process of this technical solution strictly follows three logically progressive core steps. Step 1 establishes a multi-technology modular model based on the "production-storage-transportation-transfer" full-chain architecture. During this process, the "maximum sequential programming method" and a multi-timescale balancing mechanism (see Equations 1 to 32) are used to collaboratively determine the technology selection and capacity boundaries of hydrogen production, storage, and inter-regional hydrogen transportation facilities. Step 2 constructs a two-layer energy allocation optimization control framework covering electricity, natural gas, and hydrogen energy systems. The upper layer focuses on minimizing the operating cost of the electric-gas interconnection system (see Equations 33 to 52), while the lower layer focuses on optimizing the investment and maintenance costs throughout the entire lifecycle of the hydrogen energy supply chain facilities (see Equations 53 to 59). Finally, in Step 3, equipment power and cost parameters are initialized and a convergence threshold is set. The closed-loop iterative calculation of the two-layer model (e.g., ...) is then performed. Figure 5 (As shown in the process), until the planned capacity difference meets the convergence criterion, thereby outputting the globally optimal integrated energy distribution scheme for the hydrogen energy supply chain.

[0017] The implementation scheme is as follows: A method for optimizing and controlling the integrated hydrogen energy storage and transportation supply chain, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Multi-technology modular modeling of each link in HSC: Hydrogen energy supply chain in the framework of electric-gas interconnection system, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the HSC architecture centered on "power generation-energy storage-transmission", a multi-technology planning and operation model for each HSC process is established, providing a model foundation for the optimal configuration of HSC under EGIS.

[0065] Based on the optimal operation model of EGIS, Figure 8 The data presents the renewable energy consumption patterns on typical days of each season. As shown in the figure, photovoltaic (PV) power output is largely absorbed within the system; however, onshore and offshore wind power output is higher on typical days in spring and winter, and cannot be fully absorbed due to source-load fluctuations or grid congestion. The peak-to-valley difference and fluctuation range of unabsorbed renewable energy at different grid nodes on typical days are significant, exhibiting marked temporal and spatial variations. Figure 9 It can also be seen that the peak-valley difference and fluctuation range of unabsorbed renewable energy at different grid nodes under typical days are large, with significant spatiotemporal differences.

[0066] (1) Source-charge time characteristics of hydrogen: Figure 10 The hydrogen load demand on typical days in each season was compared, and the amount of hydrogen that could be converted from unused RES was theoretically calculated (theoretical conversion: 1kW of electrical energy can control 25.2g of H2). From Figure 10It is evident that the hydrogen load ranking for typical days of the season is winter > autumn > summer > spring. However, the unused renewable energy output used for hydrogen production is mainly concentrated in spring and winter, indicating a significant mismatch between hydrogen sources and hydrogen load in time, which restricts the further development of hydrogen energy systems.

[0067] (2) Source-charge space characteristics of hydrogen: Figure 11 This study compares the hydrogen load demand in regions Z1–Z16 during a typical spring season with the theoretically available hydrogen production from surplus renewable energy sources. Except for Z3, regions Z1–Z6 have abundant wind power resources, but due to transmission line capacity limitations, surplus renewable energy output cannot be fully transported to other regions for consumption. As shown in the figure, the amount of hydrogen that can be produced from surplus renewable energy in these regions far exceeds their own hydrogen load demand. However, in regions Z7–Z16, since renewable energy can be consumed locally without long-distance transmission, the available surplus renewable energy is limited, and the corresponding hydrogen production is insufficient to meet the hydrogen load of these regions. The upper half of the region is more suitable for using renewable energy sources (RES) to produce hydrogen to meet the regional hydrogen load, but some of the produced hydrogen cannot be consumed. The hydrogen load in the lower half of the region is more concentrated, but the spatial distribution of renewable energy and load, as well as inter-regional transmission capacity, make large-scale deployment of green hydrogen energy systems extremely difficult.

[0068] (3) Economic analysis of building a green hydrogen energy supply chain based on EGIS: Table 5 shows the amount of hydrogen that can be produced by the surplus RES theory and the amount of hydrogen supply that can be utilized after considering the source-load distribution.

[0069] Table 5. Cost Comparison of Typical Sunlight Hydrogen Energy Systems in Four Seasons

[0070] As shown in the table, the typical annual hydrogen energy load of this system is 179,697.6 tons / year. Based on a hydrogen purchase cost of 45.96 yuan / kg, the annual hydrogen purchase cost for this system reaches 8.26 * 10^6 tons / year. 9 Theoretically, surplus renewable energy can produce up to 150,533.1 tons of hydrogen per year. If the spatial and temporal differences between hydrogen source and load are disregarded and all theoretically produced hydrogen is used for load, 83.77% of the supply and demand can be met, and hydrogen purchase costs can be reduced by approximately 6.92 * 10^6 tons. 9 However, due to the spatial and temporal differences in the distribution of hydrogen sources and loads, the surplus hydrogen production that can actually be directly utilized accounts for only 6.26% of the total demand, or 11,257.2 tons / year. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research on the rational planning and allocation of the hydrogen energy supply chain to mitigate the impact of the spatial and temporal differences between sources and loads, improve the capacity for renewable energy absorption, and reduce the cost of hydrogen energy applications.

[0071] Design Scenario: A hydrogen energy supply chain is planned for areas with surplus renewable energy (Z1, Z2, Z4, Z5, Z6, Z8, Z9, Z11, Z14, Z15) to achieve the application of green hydrogen energy and the consumption of renewable energy. To verify the superiority of the proposed planning model, three comparative cases are designed: Case 1: At each grid node and gas node, only a single technology is used for planning and configuration of each HSC process; Case 2: Within each grid node and gas grid, the multi-technology collaborative planning method proposed in this paper is used for overall planning and configuration of each HSC process; Case 3: Within each grid node and gas grid, only the multi-technology collaborative planning method proposed in this paper is used for hydrogen production and storage, while transportation and conversion are still planned and configured using a single technology.

[0072] As shown in Table 6, when using HTT and HPL transportation methods, Case 2 utilizes existing natural gas pipelines to reduce the length of newly constructed pipelines, resulting in a lower hydrogen transportation planning cost compared to Case 1. In Case 1's hydrogen transportation scheme, LHTT and HCNG require additional conversion equipment, with conversion costs (9.49 * 10) 8 Yuan, 7.68*10 8 The conversion cost (in yuan) is significantly higher than that in scenario 2 (6.01 * 10). 8 (RMB). The annualized operating profit for scenario 2 is 1.61 * 10. 9 Yuan, higher than several corresponding cases of case 1 (4.22*10) 8 Yuan, 1.21*10 9 Yuan, 3.17*10 8 Yuan, 1.43*10 9 The revenue from HSC in Scenario 2 increased by approximately 282%, 33.9%, 408%, and 12.68%, respectively. In Scenario 3, the investment cost is lower due to the smaller P2H capacity, hydrogen storage capacity, and conversion process scale. However, Scenario 2 considers inter-regional hydrogen energy transmission, allowing the generated hydrogen to be transported to multiple regions to increase revenue. Compared to Scenario 3, the total HSC revenue in Scenario 2 increased significantly, from 1.25 * 10^6 yuan. 9 The amount increased to 4.07 * 10. 9 Yuan; its operating profit is 1.61 * 10 9 The value is also significantly higher than 2.77*10 in scenario 3. 8The above analysis shows that the multi-technology collaborative planning method can effectively incorporate the operational economics of different technologies, thereby obtaining a better planning scheme. While relying solely on "power generation-storage" to absorb RES (Renewable Energy Storage) can absorb surplus renewable energy to some extent, the RES absorption capacity of the HSC (High-Speed ​​Central Storage) remains limited due to the spatial mismatch between source and load, resulting in a large amount of surplus RES within the EGIS (Environmentally Secured Geological Survey). Further considering inter-regional transmission to construct a complete HSC can significantly improve the system-level absorption capacity of RES.

[0073] Table 6 System scheduling results for scenarios 1, 2, and 3

[0074] Implementation Case 1: By Figure 12 As can be seen, P2H devices were configured at grid nodes E1–E4, E7, E9–E10, E20, and E26–E27. Although there is a surplus of renewable energy at grid nodes E5–E6, E8, E11–E12, E19, and E28, these nodes were not configured because planning under a single technology solution is not economical. In this case, P2H selected two types of electrolytic hydrogen production technologies: AEC and SOEC. The specific reasons for the selection are as follows: the surplus renewable energy at nodes E3 and E4 is sufficient to meet the hydrogen load of region Z4, and inter-regional transportation is not economically viable. Therefore, AEC, which has lower cost but lower efficiency, was prioritized at these nodes. At nodes where the load cannot be met locally (such as E7, E20, E26, and E27) or where inter-regional transportation is required (such as E1, E2, and E9), SOEC, which has higher electro-hydrogen conversion efficiency, was selected. In the case of transport via HCNG, node E1 cannot be connected due to its distance from the natural gas pipeline network. Therefore, AEC was still selected for E1, and its planned capacity is smaller than the configuration capacity under other transport methods.

[0075] Energy storage and P2H devices are mostly configured at the same nodes, and three hydrogen storage technologies have been selected: HHT, LHT, and CHS. Based on the hydrogen storage needs of different regions, the nodes can be divided into two categories: seasonal hydrogen storage nodes (E1–E4, E7, E9, E10) and intraday hydrogen storage nodes (E20, E26, E27). The first category of nodes has a larger planned hydrogen storage capacity due to the concentrated hydrogen production demand in the spring. HHT has higher storage costs, while CHS and LHT have lower unit hydrogen storage costs once a certain scale is reached; moreover, CHS does not require additional conversion facilities such as liquefaction, thus it has a higher priority in large-scale hydrogen storage scenarios. Therefore, CHS was selected for E1–E3, E7, and E9, while only LHT was configured for E4 and E10. The second type of node only needs to meet the intraday fluctuating hydrogen storage demand on a typical day, so it only adopts the daily storage form; under the low capacity hydrogen storage demand, although HHT is more expensive, it is competitive for small-scale hydrogen storage, so E20, E26 and E27 adopted HHT.

[0076] When using the HPL transportation method, a total of 13 hydrogen pipelines were newly built, with a total length of 1395.4 km and a diameter range of 412–1223 mm. Among them, pipeline (4) is responsible for the transportation of hydrogen from nodes 1, 2 and 9, and is the branch with the largest flow in the entire hydrogen pipeline network system. By constructing HPL, the excess hydrogen generated in the upper half (E1, E2, E9) is transported to the lower half to meet the hydrogen load center point of the Z7–Z16 region. In the HTT and LHTT transportation schemes, the transportation paths are the same. However, due to the significant difference in the carrying capacity of a single vehicle: the unit carrying capacity of HTT is much smaller than that of LHTT. Under the same P2H and hydrogen storage configuration, the required number of vehicles is HTT=950 and LHTT=111, respectively. In the HCNG transportation scheme, some source-load points are too far from the natural gas pipeline network to be connected to the natural gas pipeline, and therefore cannot be transported using the HCNG method.

[0077] Implementation Case 2: For example Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, compared to Case 1, Case 2 replaced some P2H devices at nodes E1, E2, E7, E9, E20, E26, and E27. This adjustment was mainly due to significant source-load timing fluctuations at these nodes, necessitating greater operational flexibility. Compared to other P2H technologies, PEMEC is superior to SOEC in terms of flexibility. Therefore, replacing some SOEC devices with PEMEC at certain nodes helps to address the lack of flexibility in SOEC technology.

[0078] The selection of hydrogen storage technology depends on the scale of hydrogen storage and techno-economic feasibility; therefore, there is an optimal hydrogen storage technology for different scales of hydrogen storage demand. The selection of transportation technology can fully leverage the flexibility of the HPL (High-Performance Network) planning layout, allowing for inter-regional hydrogen transportation through the collaboration of HCNG (High-Performance Gas Generation Network) and HPL. In the upper part of the region, hydrogen from nodes E1, E2, and E9 is transported to gas node G13 via the gas network, and then transported by HPL to the hydrogen load center in the lower part. Throughout this process, only gas separation equipment needs to be installed at gas nodes G5, G8, and G13, significantly reducing the conversion costs required by the HCNG. Compared to Scenario 1, the total length of the hydrogen pipeline in Case 2 is 988.5 km, approximately 29.2% shorter than in Case 1.

[0079] Implementation Case 3: Figure 14 The HSC planning results for Case 3 are presented. The right-hand subplot compares the differences in the configuration of newly added equipment between Case 2 and Case 3. Grid nodes E1, E2, and E9 in regions Z1, Z2, and Z6 respectively increased P2H capacity; the previously configured AEC units were replaced by more efficient SOEC and PEMEC units at several nodes. A large-scale seasonal hydrogen storage unit, CHS, was also added to grid node E2. This is because renewable energy resources are relatively abundant in Z1, Z2, and Z6; to reduce costs, Case 3 still tends to choose the more economical AEC technology in certain local situations. Considering inter-regional hydrogen energy transmission, Case 2 expanded hydrogen production and storage capacity to provide intraday and seasonal hydrogen loads to other regions and improved the economics of HSC by increasing the P2H capacity of SOEC and PEMEC. Figure 17 It is evident that although node E4 has a surplus of renewable energy at certain times, the new energy output of this node only occurs during two periods in the spring, and the planned transmission equipment is not economically advantageous. Therefore, the P2H device configuration was not expanded at this node.

[0080] Analysis of RES consumption and hydrogen load supply in Cases 2 and 3: Based on the above multi-technology collaborative planning scheme, the system's RES absorption capacity and hydrogen energy supply composition were analyzed. The results are shown in [Table missing]. Figure 15 –17. From Figure 15 a) It can be seen that in Case 3, the majority of the hydrogen load is met by purchased hydrogen, accounting for 67.1%. The self-sufficiency share of HSC (hydrogen-storage) through the "power generation-storage" link is only 32.9%, of which P2H real-time supply accounts for 10.6% and hydrogen storage equipment supply accounts for 22.3%. Compared with Case 3, Case 2 considers the inter-regional transport of hydrogen energy in the model, thus significantly improving the spatiotemporal coverage of hydrogen load. Figure 15(b) It can be seen that the hydrogen source of the system consists of four parts: real-time P2H supply (10.6%), hydrogen storage supply (22.3%), transportation supply (30.8%), and external supply (36.3%). After the introduction of inter-regional transportation, the HSC's self-sufficiency rate for hydrogen load increased from 32.9% to 63.7%.

[0081] Depend on Figure 16 and Figure 17 a) It is evident that relying solely on "power generation-storage" to absorb RES (Renewable Energy) can, to some extent, absorb excess renewable energy output. However, due to the spatial mismatch between source and load, the RES absorption capacity of the HSC (High-Speed ​​Storage Center) remains limited, and a large amount of surplus RES still exists within the EGIS (Environmentally, Geologically Integral Gas System). Further consideration of inter-regional transmission to construct a complete HSC can significantly enhance the system-level absorption capacity of RES. Figure 17 b) shows that, after considering hydrogen transportation, most of the surplus RES has been absorbed; only in a few areas, due to the highly intermittent nature of renewable energy output, the surplus electricity cannot be effectively utilized.
