Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of off-grid hydrogen energy polygeneration systems based on renewable energy, belong to new energy and hydrogen energy technical field. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the acceleration of island development, the contradiction between the demand and production capacity of island energy supply is increasingly prominent. For those islands far from the mainland, due to the lack of water supply and power supply pipeline conditions connected with the mainland, the fresh water supply of these islands mainly depends on the collection of natural precipitation or transportation from outside the island, which not only leads to unstable water supply, but also makes the water supply cost relatively high. The acquisition of domestic hot water mainly depends on technologies such as heat pumps, which further increases the demand for electricity. In terms of power supply, islands usually rely on diesel generators or renewable energy. Among them, the diesel generator produces a lot of noise when running and increases carbon emissions; while renewable energy (such as wind energy and solar energy) is environmentally friendly, but has the characteristics of intermittency and strong randomness, and is highly dependent on environmental conditions, which is not suitable for being used as the main source of electricity for islands alone. In order to ensure the stability of the micro-grid, it is usually necessary to use energy storage devices in combination.
[0003] Under the current technical conditions, the energy storage technologies suitable for islands include pumped storage, compressed air storage, electrochemical energy storage and hydrogen energy storage, etc. Although pumped storage and large-scale compressed air storage technologies can achieve large power and large-scale energy storage, they have very strict requirements for site natural conditions. Considering the geographical characteristics of islands, it is unrealistic to build pumped storage power stations or large-scale compressed air energy storage power stations. In contrast, electrochemical energy storage systems (such as lithium-ion batteries) and hydrogen energy storage systems have become ideal solutions to solve the island energy supply problem due to their flexible installation and rapid response. They not only can effectively alleviate the uncertainty and volatility of renewable energy power supply, but also can greatly reduce the dependence on fossil fuels, providing a cleaner and more reliable energy solution for islands.
