Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen energy storage technology, specifically to an integrated energy system for photovoltaic hydrogen storage and utilization. Background Technology
[0002] Both sunlight and hydrogen are clean energy carriers. Sunlight can be converted into electricity, which can then be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen. The combustion of hydrogen produces only water vapor, with no carbon emissions. Therefore, some people in the field have conducted research combining solar energy and hydrogen energy technologies, and have designed integrated hydrogen production, storage, and utilization devices. These devices can conveniently convert two of nature's greatest resources—sunlight and water—into green hydrogen and electricity. By generating hydrogen through solar power and storing it in hydrogen form, and releasing it when needed, hydrogen can replace natural gas in powering gas appliances, helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote sustainable development.
[0003] However, some existing integrated hydrogen production and storage systems rely entirely on hydrogen energy storage, meaning that all solar power generated is used to produce hydrogen and store it as gas. When external hydrogen-powered appliances require hydrogen, it is supplied directly; when external electrical equipment needs electricity, it is generated through a fuel cell stack. This type of integrated hydrogen production and storage system has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The process of generating hydrogen using solar power and then using the hydrogen as fuel for power generation involves significant energy loss, resulting in low solar energy utilization efficiency.
[0005] 2. In extreme cases where solar energy is scarce and no hydrogen is stored, the equipment will be unable to supply gas and electricity normally, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0013] In one embodiment, the liquid collection plate is further provided with a hot and cold circulation device, which includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a heating element.

[0014] In one embodiment, the water storage tank is located below the hydrogen storage device, and a communication interface is provided on one side of the cabinet. The control motherboard is connected to the pure water system through the communication interface. A level gauge is provided inside the water storage tank and is connected to the control motherboard.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This utility model incorporates an energy storage battery and a charging controller, enabling simultaneous hydrogen and electricity storage when solar energy is abundant. Most of the hydrogen produced by solar power is stored as hydrogen gas, while the remaining solar energy is stored as electricity in the energy storage battery. Therefore, hydrogen is only needed to supply gas appliances, while the energy storage battery provides power to external electrical equipment. This design not only avoids energy loss from producing hydrogen through solar power and then using it to generate electricity, improving solar energy utilization efficiency, but also ensures that external electrical equipment has power available even in extreme situations where solar energy is scarce or hydrogen is unavailable, enhancing the user experience.

[0039] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides an integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system, including a water tank 200, a hydrogen production device 300, a hydrogen storage device 400, a hydrogen production power supply 610, a charging controller 510, an energy storage battery 520, and a control motherboard 630. The water tank 200 is externally connected to a pure water system for obtaining external pure water; the hydrogen production device 300 (e.g., a PEM electrolyzer) is connected to the water circuit of the water tank 200 for electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen; the upstream of the hydrogen storage device 400 (e.g., a solid hydrogen storage cylinder) is connected to the gas circuit of the hydrogen production device 300, and the downstream is externally connected to a hydrogen-powered gas appliance for storing hydrogen and releasing hydrogen when the appliance needs it; the input of the hydrogen production power supply 610 is externally connected to a photoelectric conversion system, and the output is electrically connected to the hydrogen production device 300 for converting photoelectric power into constant voltage DC power for the device. The hydrogen production device 300 produces hydrogen through water electrolysis; the input terminal of the charging controller 510 is connected to a photoelectric conversion system, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the input terminal of the energy storage battery 520 (e.g., a lithium battery), used to convert photoelectric power into constant voltage DC power to charge the energy storage battery 520, and to cut off the charging current when the energy storage battery 520 is fully charged to prevent overcharging; the output terminal of the energy storage battery 520 is connected to an external electrical device through an inverter 530; the control motherboard 630 is used to control the power-on and operation of each electrical device in the integrated photohydrogen storage and utilization energy system.
[0040] Under sufficient sunlight, the external photoelectric conversion system converts sunlight into DC power, which is transmitted to the DC / DC converter 620, the hydrogen production power supply 610, and the charging controller 510. The DC / DC converter 620 converts the DC power into 24V DC power to supply internal electrical devices such as water pumps, hot and cold circulation devices, and solenoid valves. The hydrogen production power supply 610 converts the DC power into 22V DC power to supply the hydrogen production device 300 for water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. The produced hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen storage device 400. When the hydrogen storage device is insufficient but hydrogen-powered gas appliances need hydrogen, the hydrogen produced by the hydrogen production device 300 can also be directly supplied to the hydrogen-powered gas appliances. The charging controller 510 converts the DC power into 48V DC power to charge the energy storage battery 520. When external electrical devices need power, the energy storage battery 520 converts the 48V DC power into 220V AC power output through the inverter 530.
[0041] To ensure the system can still supply hydrogen normally even when sunlight is insufficient, a mains power function can be added to the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system. That is, a first AC / DC power supply 540 is set up in the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system. Its input terminal is connected to the mains power, and its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the hydrogen production device 300. It is used to convert the externally input 220V AC power into 22V DC power for the use of the hydrogen production device 300. At the same time, the 22V DC power output from the first AC / DC power supply 540 can be converted into 24V DC power through a DC / DC boost circuit to supply the water pump, hot and cold circulation device, solenoid valve and other internal electrical devices of the system.
[0042] Furthermore, the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system can also be equipped with a second AC / DC power supply 550, whose input terminal is connected to the mains power and whose output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the energy storage battery 520, for converting the externally input 220V AC power into 48V DC power to charge the energy storage battery 520 for standby.
[0043] Specifically, the water tank 200, hydrogen production device 300, hydrogen storage device 400, hydrogen production power supply 610, charging controller 510, energy storage battery 520, control motherboard 630, first AC / DC power supply 540 and second AC / DC power supply 550 are all installed inside the cabinet 100.
[0044] The cabinet 100 is rectangular or cubic in shape. The front of the cabinet 100 has an operation area for controlling and displaying the system's operating mode, and a water level window 103 for indicating the water level in the water tank 200. The water level window 103 is positioned to match the location of the water tank 200. In this embodiment, the operation area includes a display screen 101 and a button area 102. The display screen 101 can be a non-touchscreen, used only to display information such as the system's operating status and hydrogen flow rate. The button area 102 includes power buttons, hydrogen production buttons, hydrogen delivery buttons, and power supply buttons, and is located below the display screen 101 to control the system to enter different operating modes. This operation area design uses a combination of a non-touchscreen display and mechanical buttons, offering advantages such as low overall cost and low failure rate.
[0045] In other embodiments, the display screen 101 can be a touch screen with multiple built-in function buttons, serving to display information such as the system's operating status and hydrogen flow rate, as well as control the system to enter different operating modes. In this case, the button area 102 is not necessary. From the perspective of cost saving and overall product aesthetics, the button area 102 can be omitted; however, from the perspective of ensuring that the operating system can still run after the display screen 101 experiences a touch failure, the button area 102 can be included.
[0046] To facilitate the retrieval, replacement, and maintenance of the hydrogen storage device 400, the device can be installed on the upper part of the cabinet 100. A retrieval port 104, a square hole, is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet 100, and its position corresponds to the installation position of the hydrogen storage device 400. The retrieval port 104 is covered with an easy-to-open and close upper cover.
[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, in some other embodiments, the access port 104 can also be located on the front of the cabinet 100, and the access port 104 is a plurality of circular holes distributed in a matrix. In this scheme, the hydrogen storage device 400 can be installed in the hydrogen storage chamber 220 equipped with a balanced quick-connect assembly (for details of the specific structure and design, please refer to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221443649U) by rotational installation.
[0048] Specifically, a liquid collection plate 110 is provided inside the cabinet 100, and a hydrogen storage chamber 120 for installing the hydrogen storage device 400 is provided on the liquid collection plate 110. The hydrogen filling and discharging end (i.e., the bottle opening) of the hydrogen storage device 400 protrudes from the hydrogen storage chamber 120; please refer to Figure 5 The hydrogen storage chamber 120 is equipped with a matching hydrogen concentration detection probe 121 and a hydrogen concentration detector 122. The hydrogen concentration detection probe 121 is located close to the hydrogen charging and discharging end of the hydrogen storage device 400. This design can monitor the hydrogen concentration at the charging and discharging end of the hydrogen storage device 400 in real time. When the hydrogen concentration is too high, the hydrogen concentration detector 122 can issue an alarm to prevent hydrogen leakage.
[0049] To meet the functional requirements of hydrogen storage, as many hydrogen storage devices 400 as possible are usually installed. Therefore, directly installing multiple hydrogen storage devices 400 inside the cabinet 100 requires a lot of force and is difficult. In this invention, the hydrogen storage devices 400 are installed on the upper part of the cabinet 100. Through the design of the access port 104, the liquid collection plate 110 with the hydrogen storage tank 120 can be installed on the upper part of the cabinet 100 first, and then the hydrogen storage devices 400 can be installed from the upper end face of the cabinet 100. This facilitates the installation of the hydrogen storage devices 400, and also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the hydrogen storage devices 400.
[0050] The water tank 200, hydrogen production device 300, hydrogen production power supply 610, charging controller 510, energy storage battery 520, control main board 630, first AC / DC power supply 540, and second AC / DC power supply 550 are all located below the liquid collection plate 110. The figure only shows the arrangement of the water tank 200, hydrogen production device 300, hydrogen production power supply 610, charging controller 510, energy storage battery 520, control main board 630, first AC / DC power supply 540, and second AC / DC power supply 550 in a specific embodiment; their relative positions are not limited.
[0051] Furthermore, in order to improve the hydrogen storage and release efficiency of the hydrogen storage device 400 and ensure that the temperature is within a reasonable range during the charging and releasing process, the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system can be equipped with a cooling and heating circulation device 700. The cooling and heating circulation device 700 is installed on the liquid collection plate 110 and specifically includes a compressor 710, a condenser 720, an evaporator, and a heating element. The compressor 710 and the condenser 720 are installed outside the hydrogen storage chamber 120 and arranged on one side close to the hydrogen production power supply 610, the charging controller 510, the energy storage battery 520, the control motherboard 630, the first AC / DC power supply 540, and the second AC / DC power supply 550. The compressor 710 is located between the hydrogen storage chamber 120 and the condenser 720, and the condenser 720 is arranged close to the side of the cabinet 100 to facilitate heat dissipation. The evaporator and heating element are disposed inside the hydrogen storage chamber 120. The evaporator is disposed on the side close to the compressor 710. The heating element may be a resistance wire, wound on a winding frame inside the hydrogen storage chamber 120 and surrounding the hydrogen storage device 400.
[0052] When the hydrogen storage device 400 is storing hydrogen, cooling is initiated. The compressor 710, condenser 720, and evaporator participate in the cooling process, and its cooling principle is similar to that of an air conditioner, which will not be elaborated here. When the hydrogen storage device 400 is releasing hydrogen, heating is initiated. The heating element participates in the heating process. Furthermore, to enhance the heating effect, the fan in the evaporator can also be activated to increase the flow of hot air.
[0053] Since the evaporator generates condensate during operation, and condensate is also generated when cold air comes into contact with the hot hydrogen storage device 400, it is necessary to drain the condensate generated in the hydrogen storage tank 120. Therefore, in this embodiment, a drain hole 123 can be provided on the bottom side of the hydrogen storage tank 120, and a drain pipe 111 can be connected to the liquid collection plate 110; the condensate generated in the hydrogen storage tank 120 is drained through the drain hole 123 to the liquid collection plate 110 for collection, and then discharged from the cabinet 110 through the drain pipe 111.
[0054] Furthermore, a water inlet 106 and a communication interface 107 are provided on one side of the cabinet 100. The water storage tank 200 is connected to an external pure water system through the water inlet 106; the control motherboard 630 is connected to the pure water system through the communication interface 107 (e.g., a KV interface). Please refer to... Figure 6 The water storage tank 200 is equipped with a level gauge 210, which is communicatively connected to the control motherboard 630. The control motherboard 630 is electrically connected to the DC / DC converter 620 to obtain power. When the level gauge 210 detects that the water level in the water storage tank 200 has dropped to the point where water needs to be added, the control motherboard 630 obtains power from the DC / DC converter 620 and transmits it to the communication interface 107, controlling the communication interface 107 to establish a communication connection with the pure water system. Once the connection request is successful, the control motherboard 630 communicates the start-up, operation, and shutdown of the pure water system based on the water level changes detected by the level gauge 210.
[0055] Furthermore, in order to improve the water quality entering the hydrogen production device 300, a purification column 220 can be added between the hydrogen production device 300 and the water storage tank 200, and the purification column 220 is fixed to the bottom of the cabinet 100.
[0056] Furthermore, since excessive water content in hydrogen will affect the hydrogen storage capacity of the hydrogen storage device 400, at least one gas-liquid separator 800 needs to be added between the hydrogen production device 300 and the hydrogen storage device 400 to remove water and purify the hydrogen. The gas-liquid separator 800 is located near the hydrogen production device 300 to reduce the hydrogen flow distance. Specifically, the gas-liquid separator 800 is equipped with a condensation module 810 to cool the hydrogen entering the gas-liquid separator 800, condensing the water vapor in the hydrogen into water, thus making the separation of water vapor and hydrogen more thorough. The drain outlet of the gas-liquid separator 800 is connected to the return water outlet of the water storage tank 200. Furthermore, at least one drying and regeneration device 900 can also be connected to the hydrogen outlet of the gas-liquid separator 800 to further remove water vapor from the hydrogen. The drying and regeneration device 900 contains a molecular sieve, and its outer wall is sequentially covered with an electric heating film and an insulation layer. The drain outlet of the drying and regeneration device 900 is connected to the return water outlet of the water storage tank 200. After a period of time, the electric heating film is energized to heat the drying and regeneration device 900, thereby reducing the molecular sieve inside. The separated water vapor is then returned to the water storage tank 200 under the control of a solenoid valve.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the water storage tank 200 has three return water inlets, all located at the top of the water storage tank 200, corresponding to the drain outlets of the hydrogen production device, the gas-liquid separator 800, and the drying and regeneration device 900, respectively. However, in other embodiments, the water storage tank 200 may have only one return water inlet, and the return water from the hydrogen production device, the gas-liquid separator 800, and the drying and regeneration device 900 may flow back to the water storage tank 200 via three converging pipes into one pipe.
[0058] Furthermore, to ensure hydrogen safety when the hydrogen storage device 400 is connected to an external hydrogen-powered gas appliance, the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system is also equipped with a hydrogen output management device. One end of the device is connected to the gas path of the hydrogen storage device 400, and the other end is connected to the hydrogen-powered gas appliance via a flow meter. The cabinet 100 is equipped with a hydrogen output port 108 connecting the hydrogen output management device and the hydrogen-powered gas appliance. The main function of the hydrogen output management device is to precisely control the rate and pressure of hydrogen release from the hydrogen storage device 400, ensuring a continuous and stable supply of hydrogen. When the hydrogen output management device receives a hydrogen demand signal from the hydrogen-powered gas appliance, it controls the hydrogen storage device 400 to release hydrogen.
[0059] Furthermore, to improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the integrated photovoltaic-hydrogen storage and utilization energy system and ensure the safe operation of the equipment, fans can be installed on or near the main heat-generating devices such as the hydrogen production unit 300, the gas-liquid separator 800, the drying and regeneration unit 900, and the condenser 720 to promote heat dissipation. Simultaneously, multiple heat dissipation vents can be opened on the left and right sides and the back of the cabinet 100 to facilitate heat exhaust.
[0060] Furthermore, the cabinet 100 is provided with handles 105 on its left and right sides for easy lifting. The lower end of the cabinet 100 is provided with wheels 109 for easy horizontal movement, and the wheels 109 may be omnidirectional wheels with braking function.
[0061] In summary, this utility model simultaneously possesses three functions: hydrogen production, hydrogen transmission, and power supply. The hydrogen production process is as follows: S11, the hydrogen production button on the cabinet 100 is activated, and the control motherboard 630 initiates the hydrogen production mode; S12, pure water is injected into the water storage tank 200. When the water level in the water storage tank 200 reaches the safe level, the hydrogen production device 300 obtains pure water from the water storage tank 200 and performs electrolysis to produce hydrogen. The produced oxygen is discharged, while the undecomposed pure water flows back to the water storage tank 200 via a solenoid valve. S13. The gas-water separation device 800 obtains hydrogen from the hydrogen production device 300 and performs gas-water separation to obtain high-purity hydrogen. The separated water flows back to the water storage tank 200 through a solenoid valve. S14. The hydrogen obtained by the gas-water separation device 800 is purified again by the drying and regeneration device 900. The separated water flows back to the water storage tank 200 through a solenoid valve. S15. The hydrogen storage device 400 obtains high-purity hydrogen from the drying and regeneration device 900 through a solenoid valve and automatically stores the high-purity hydrogen.
[0062] The hydrogen supply process is as follows: S21, the hydrogen supply button on the cabinet 100 is activated, and the control motherboard 630 starts the hydrogen supply mode; S22, the hydrogen output management device outputs the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage device 400 according to the needs of the external hydrogen energy gas appliance, and the output hydrogen is output to the hydrogen energy gas appliance after passing through the flow meter.
[0063] The power supply process is as follows: S31, the power supply button on the cabinet 100 is activated, and the control motherboard 630 starts the power supply mode; S32, the energy storage battery 520 supplies power to external electrical equipment.
