Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0021] Example 1: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a coordinated system for electrolytic hydrogen production and grid power fluctuation mitigation, including a grid-connected power identification module, an electrolyzer status sensing module, a transition hydrogen capacity assessment module, a candidate power trajectory generation module, a trajectory safety prediction module, a safety trajectory screening module, a dynamic safety power corridor construction module, a trajectory execution module, a transition hydrogen purification and reflux module, and a mitigation and debt compensation module. Each module is deployed on the hydrogen production station's energy management platform, station-level coordination controller, or edge control terminal, and is communicatively connected to the grid-connected metering device, power conversion device, electrolyzer stack, gas-liquid separator, transition hydrogen buffer tank, purification unit, and product hydrogen output branch.
[0022] In this embodiment, the system's data sampling period is uniformly set to 1. Power is uniformly adopted As a unit of measurement, the rate of change of power is uniformly adopted. As a unit of measurement, time is uniformly adopted. As a unit of measurement, pressure is uniformly adopted. As a unit of measurement, temperature is uniformly adopted.

Hydrogen flow rate is uniformly adopted As units of measurement, the liquid level in the gas-liquid separator is expressed as a percentage, while the hydrogen purity and impurity content are expressed as a volume fraction percentage.
[0023] The grid-connected power identification module acquires the actual power, target power, and grid frequency status at the grid connection point. The target power is determined by the grid dispatch target, grid-connected planned power, or power smoothing control target. The frequency status discrimination unit determines whether the grid is in a power surplus state, a power deficit state, or a power balance state based on the frequency deviation and the direction of frequency change. The power to be smoothed is determined according to formula (1):
[0024] In the formula, for The power to be smoothed at any given time, in units of ; for Actual power at the grid connection point at any given time, in units of ; for Target power at time, in units of .when When >0, the system generates an overload-type power to be mitigated; when When <0, the system generates a load-reducing power to be mitigated; when | |≤ At this time, the system does not trigger the electrolytic cell power adjustment.
[0025] Power dead zone threshold Take 0.5 times the rated range of the power metering device at the grid connection point. Up to 1.0 The smaller of the allowable deviations from grid dispatch. In this embodiment, the rated range of the power metering device at the grid connection point is 10000. The allowable deviation for power grid dispatch is 50. ,therefore Take 50 This is to avoid frequent load increases and decreases in the electrolytic cell caused by small power fluctuations.
[0026] The electrolyzer status sensing module collects data on the electrolyzer input power, individual cell voltages, inlet and outlet temperatures, temperatures at key locations within the stack, hydrogen-side pressure, oxygen-side pressure, gas-liquid separator level, hydrogen purity, and impurity content. Individual cell voltage dispersion is characterized by the standard deviation of each cell voltage relative to the average individual cell voltage; temperature gradient is characterized by the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures in the stack; hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference is characterized by the absolute value of the difference between hydrogen-side and oxygen-side pressures; and liquid level fluctuation range is characterized by the absolute value of the difference between the real-time liquid level and the target liquid level.
[0027] Each internal safety threshold is determined jointly based on the equipment manufacturer's technical documents, trial operation data, and on-site safety procedures. When values given by different bases are inconsistent, the more stringent value is adopted. Hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference threshold. Take 80% of the manufacturer's allowed maximum. And not higher than 0.080 Gas-liquid separator liquid level fluctuation threshold Take 50% of the normal operating liquid level range width and not higher than 15 Temperature gradient threshold Take 80% of the manufacturer's maximum allowable temperature difference. and not higher than 10 Individual voltage dispersion threshold Take twice the mean dispersion over 30 consecutive stable operating cycles, but not exceeding 0.030. Cross-penetration risk threshold Take 0.70; Product hydrogen purity threshold Based on the highest purity requirements stipulated in the hydrogen supply agreement, on-site quality control requirements, and downstream equipment requirements, this embodiment uses 99.90%. .
[0028] The transition hydrogen capacity assessment module obtains the effective geometric volume, current pressure, allowable pressure limit, and impurity content of the transition hydrogen buffer tank, and obtains the remaining processing flow rate, remaining processing time, allowable temporary storage time, and subsequent stable hydrogen production period of the purification unit. The transition hydrogen mass capacity is determined according to formula (2):
[0029] In the formula, Transition hydrogen mass capacity, in units of ; For purification and recovery efficiency, dimensionless; The amount of hydrogen that the transition hydrogen buffer tank can receive, calculated according to standard conditions, is expressed in units of... Its effective geometric volume is determined by the transition hydrogen buffer tank. Permissible pressure limit Current pressure and standard pressure Sure; The amount of hydrogen that the purification unit can process during the permitted temporary storage period is expressed in units of... It is determined by the remaining processing flow of the purification unit. and allowed storage time Sure; This represents the amount of hydrogen that can be purified and processed during the subsequent stable hydrogen production period, in units of... , its origin and subsequent stable hydrogen production period Sure.
[0030] according to Divide by the product of pressure margin Conversion; according to and The product is determined; according to and The product is determined by formula (2). The minimum value of the three capacities is multiplied by the purification and recovery efficiency to avoid any constraint of buffer tank capacity, purification capacity or subsequent processing time exceeding the limit. The ratio of the amount of qualified hydrogen purified by the purification unit in the past 30 days to the total amount of transition hydrogen entering the purification unit is used; if the operating record is less than 30 days, 90% of the manufacturer's rated recovery efficiency is used. . The minimum value among the following is determined based on the time required for the buffer tank pressure to reach the upper limit, the time required for the impurity content to reach the upper limit, and the maximum temporary storage time specified within the station.
[0031] The candidate power trajectory generation module generates multiple candidate power trajectories based on the power to be mitigated. Each candidate power trajectory includes the adjustment direction, adjustment amplitude, power change rate, duration of adjustment, and power reversal characteristics. The discrete interval of the adjustment amplitude is taken from the rated power of the electrolytic cell. 5 Up to 10 The discrete interval for the power change rate is taken as 20% of the rated ramping capacity of the power conversion device. Up to 30 ; The continuous adjustment time is based on 5 10 and 15 Hierarchical settings. When the power grid status changes from power surplus to power deficit, or from power deficit to power surplus, within two consecutive sampling periods, the corresponding candidate power trajectory is marked as having power reversal characteristics.
[0032] The trajectory safety prediction module predicts the peak value of the hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference, the range of liquid level fluctuation in the gas-liquid separator, the risk value of cross-permeability, the peak value of the temperature gradient, the peak value of the monomer voltage dispersion, and the amount of hydrogen produced in the transition mass based on the candidate power trajectory and the current operating status of the electrolyzer. To avoid the unclear source of weights due to the weighted summation of multiple safety indicators, this embodiment uses a normalized threshold comparison method to determine the internal safety status of the candidate power trajectory, as shown in formula (3):
[0033] In the formula, For the first The internal safety normalization index of the candidate power trajectory is dimensionless. It is the ratio of the peak value of the hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference to the threshold value of the hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference; This is the ratio of the liquid level fluctuation range to the liquid level fluctuation threshold in the gas-liquid separator. This is the ratio of the cross-penetration risk value to the cross-penetration risk threshold. This is the ratio of the peak temperature gradient to the temperature gradient threshold. This is the ratio of the peak value of the individual voltage dispersion to the threshold value of the individual voltage dispersion. All the above normalized quantities are dimensionless. When... When ≤1, the candidate power trajectory passes the internal safety screening; when When the value is greater than 1, the corresponding candidate power trajectory is removed.
[0034] The safety trajectory filtering module performs a two-layer filtering of candidate power trajectories. The first layer is an internal safety filtering, which eliminates... Candidate power trajectories with a value >1; the second layer is capacity matching screening, which determines the transition mass hydrogen production corresponding to the candidate power trajectories that pass the first layer screening. With transition hydrogen mass capacity In comparison, when ≤ When the corresponding candidate power trajectory is retained, > The corresponding candidate power trajectory is removed at that time. By testing hydrogen with a purity lower than The hydrogen flow rate during this period is obtained by integrating over time, with units of... .
[0035] The dynamic safe power gallery construction module extracts the outer boundaries of the adjustment amplitude, power change rate, and continuous adjustment time from the set of safe candidate power trajectories, and determines the maximum load increase power accordingly. Maximum load reduction power Maximum load change rate Maximum unload change rate and allowable continuous adjustment time The aforementioned boundaries are determined by the current set of safe candidate power trajectories, not by fixed empirical values. This occurs when the transition hydrogen mass capacity decreases and the hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference approaches... The liquid level is close to the allowable limit or the hydrogen purity is close to... At that time, the set of safe candidate power trajectories shrinks, and the dynamic safe power corridor narrows synchronously.
[0036] The trajectory execution module determines whether the adjustment direction, adjustment amplitude, power change rate, and expected duration of the power to be mitigated are within the dynamic safe power corridor. If they are within the corridor, the module selects the candidate power trajectory from the set of safe candidate power trajectories that has the same adjustment direction as the power to be mitigated and the smallest difference in adjustment amplitude as the target power trajectory, and converts it into a power adjustment command for the power conversion device.
[0037] During the execution of the target power trajectory, the transition hydrogen purification reflux module continuously acquires the predicted hydrogen purity and the real-time hydrogen purity. When the hydrogen purity is lower than... At that time, the corresponding hydrogen is switched from the product hydrogen output branch to the transition hydrogen buffer branch, and the hydrogen flow rate, purity, impurity content, and temporary storage time are recorded. Purification is then carried out according to the remaining processing capacity of the purification unit; when the purity of the purified hydrogen is not lower than At that time, the purified qualified hydrogen will be reintegrated into the product hydrogen output branch.
[0038] When the power to be mitigated exceeds the dynamic safe power of the utility tunnel, the trajectory execution module performs the allowable adjustment according to the boundary of the utility tunnel. The mitigation deficit compensation module converts the difference between the mitigation power required by the power grid and the mitigation power actually performed by the electrolyzer into the mitigation deficit amount. The energy value corresponding to the mitigation deficit amount is determined according to formula (4):
[0039] In the formula, The energy value corresponding to the amount of outstanding debt is expressed in units of [missing information]. ; The power level required by the power grid, in units of ; The actual power reduction achieved by the electrolyzer, in units of ; and These represent the start and end times of the overlimit smoothing, respectively. The integration time is uniformly converted to [value missing] during calculation. The measures to mitigate the shortfall also include adjustment direction and compensation period, with the compensation period taking priority from the period given by the power grid dispatch; if no period is given, it shall not exceed three times the subsequent stable hydrogen production period.
[0040] The compensation condition judgment unit determines whether the transition hydrogen mass capacity has recovered to the compensation requirement capacity, and whether the hydrogen-oxygen side pressure difference, gas-liquid separator level, temperature gradient, monomer voltage dispersion, and hydrogen purity meet the corresponding safety conditions. When the compensation conditions are met, a slowly varying power trajectory is generated. The power change rate of the slowly varying power trajectory is taken as 30% of the power change rate of the original target power trajectory. Up to 50 And it does not exceed the current dynamic safety power corridor's rate of change boundary. During the compensation process, it follows 1 The sampling cycle updates the electrolyzer operating status, transition hydrogen mass capacity, and dynamic safety power corridor; compensation is suspended when any safety indicator reaches the corresponding threshold, and resumes execution after the safety conditions are restored.

Up to 1000 The rated ramping capability of the power conversion device is 80. Target power at grid connection point ( ) is 5000 Actual power ( ) is 5300 The power to be mitigated is obtained according to formula (1).

The amount of hydrogen that can be processed during the subsequent stable hydrogen production period is 120. The transition hydrogen mass capacity was obtained. It is 85.5 .
