The first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 and the heat recovery unit 3 are connected to each other via a raw material transport pipe. The first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 has a first heat exchange module 21, and the first heat exchange module 21 and the heat recovery unit 3 are connected to each other via a heat transfer tube. The green hydrogen and green power generation system of the present invention further comprises a separation unit 4 .

The lightning plasma decomposition unit 5 comprises a second heat exchange module 51 . The second heat exchange module 51 and the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 are connected to each other via a heat transfer tube. The second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 and the heat recovery unit 3 are connected to each other via a raw material transport pipe. The green hydrogen and green electricity generating system of the present invention further comprises a hydrogen energy generating unit 7 . The hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 is connected to the lightning plasma decomposition unit 5, the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 and the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 via a raw material transport pipe. The hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 and the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 are connected to each other via a water pipe. The raw material mixing unit 1 and the heat recovery unit 3 are each connected to a water pipe connected to an external water source. The hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 includes any hydrogen energy source power generation device, such as a hydrogen fuel cell such as a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell) or a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC: Solid Oxide Fuel Cell), a hydrogen internal combustion engine, or a hydrogen turbine.

[0008] When the green hydrogen and green electricity generating system of the present invention is actually used, the external hydrogen generating catalyst is transported into the raw material mixing unit 1 through the raw material transport pipe. The hydrogen production catalyst may be any one of common metals (also called base metals), metal alloys, metal oxides, and combinations thereof. Metals preferably include copper, iron, aluminum, tin, lead, zinc, sodium, calcium, lithium, potassium, nickel, magnesium, gallium, cadmium, silicon, titanium, and the like. Moreover, the metal oxide preferably includes copper peroxide (CuO2), iron trioxide (Fe2O3), iron tetroxide (Fe3O4), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), tin dioxide (SnO2), lead dioxide (PbO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), sodium oxide (Na2O), calcium oxide (CaO), lithium oxide (Li2O), potassium oxide (K2O), nickel oxide (Ni2O), magnesium oxide (MgO), gallium oxide (Ga2O3), cadmium oxide (CdO), silicon dioxide (SiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and the like. An external water source supplies water for transport through a water supply pipe to the raw material mixing unit 1. The water is pure water. The hydrogen production catalyst and water are mixed uniformly in the raw material mixing unit 1, and the mixture of the hydrogen production catalyst and water is transported to the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 through the raw material transport pipe, where the mixture of the hydrogen production catalyst and water undergoes a hydrolysis reaction to produce hydrogen and a hydrogen oxide production catalyst. At the same time, a large amount of heat generated when the hydrogen oxide production catalyst is produced and some of the hydrogen production catalyst that has not yet reacted are released, and the heat is absorbed by the first heat exchange module 21 installed in the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 and transmitted to the heat recovery unit 3 through a heat transfer tube. The hydrogen production catalyst that has not yet reacted in the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 is transported to the heat recovery unit 3 through the raw material transport pipe. An external water source supplies water which is transported to the heat recovery unit 3 via a water supply line, and the collected heat content and water excite the unreacted hydrogen production catalyst to react completely to produce hydrogen and hydrogen oxide production catalyst. The hydrogen and hydrogen oxide production catalyst produced by the heat recovery unit 3 and the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 are transported via a raw material transport pipe to the separation unit 4, where they are separated into gaseous green hydrogen and solid hydrogen oxide production catalyst. The green hydrogen may be provided for use within the system or may be output outside the system for use in a variety of applications. The hydrogen oxide production catalyst is transported to the lightning plasma decomposition unit 5 through a raw material transport pipe, where it is newly activated, deoxidized, and reduced to produce a hydrogen production catalyst. The reduced hydrogen production catalyst is transported to the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 through a raw material transport pipe, where it is hydrolyzed to produce hydrogen and a hydrogen oxide production catalyst, and a large amount of heat of enthalpy is released when the hydrogen oxide production catalyst is produced. The heat content is transferred through the heat transfer tube to the second heat exchange module 51 installed in the electric light plasma decomposition unit 5 and absorbed, and some of the reduction heat is used in the electric light plasma decomposition unit 5 to reduce power consumption and improve the reduction decomposition efficiency of the hydrogen oxide production catalyst. The hydrogen oxide production catalyst produced in the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 is transported to the heat recovery unit 3 through the raw material transport tube and can be repeatedly circulated between the heat recovery unit 3, the separation unit 4, the electric light plasma decomposition unit 5 and the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 in sequence. The lightning plasma decomposition unit 5 reduces the hydrogen oxide production catalyst to produce the hydrogen production catalyst and also produces oxygen. The oxygen is transported to the hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 via a feedstock transport pipe. The hydrogen produced in the first hydrolysis reaction unit 2 and the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 is transported to the hydrogen energy power generation unit via a raw material transport pipe, and together with the oxygen transported to the hydrogen energy power generation unit 7, green electricity and water are produced. The water produced by the hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 is sent to the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 via a water supply pipe, and supplies the second hydrolysis reaction unit 6 with water necessary for hydrolysis. The green electricity generated by the hydrogen energy power generation unit 7 supplies the electricity required to operate the system, and may be output outside the system for use in various applications.

[0009] The present invention enables the system to be self-sufficient in both green hydrogen and green electricity used in the system while the system is operating, and to continuously circulate the green hydrogen and green electricity. In addition, green hydrogen can be produced without using water electrolysis, and there is no need to use renewable electricity such as solar energy or wind power, which effectively reduces the costs of purchasing green hydrogen and green electricity. In addition, the present invention enables raw materials such as the hydrogen production catalyst and water that need to be used in the system to be continuously recycled by reactivating them in the system even after the hydrogen production catalyst has been used. Additionally, water can be recovered and reused during the system's operation, significantly reducing the amount of external water required. In this way, the present invention can provide inexpensive green hydrogen and green electricity, effectively replacing fossil fuels and effectively resolving the problems of global climate change and global warming. In addition, the present invention has advantages such as reversibility and interchangeability in the generation of green hydrogen and green electricity. Therefore, green hydrogen can be generated and stored during the nighttime hours when electricity prices are lower, and then used to generate green electricity during peak hours in the daytime. This flexibility and ability to be implemented in a variety of ways can increase revenue and enhance economic returns. In addition, the system of the present invention can generate green hydrogen by adding water when hydrogen is used according to the amount required on-site and on-demand. In this way, since green hydrogen is generated using a solid hydrogen production catalyst, problems such as danger and high cost during hydrogen storage and transportation can be effectively solved.

[0010] Here, the lightning plasma decomposition unit 5 of the present invention may have a second heat exchange module 51 attached to the outside of the unit body 52 as shown in FIG. An artificial lightning module 53, a lightning plasma decomposition module 54, an energy storage readjustment module 55 and a separation and purification module 56 are sequentially installed within the unit body 52. ​​After entering the lightning plasma decomposition unit 5, the hydrogen oxide production catalyst undergoes artificial lightning treatment, lightning plasma decomposition treatment, energy storage readjustment treatment and separation and purification treatment in sequence, thereby reducing the hydrogen oxide production catalyst and generating a hydrogen production catalyst. Here, by using the lightning plasma decomposition unit 5, the hydrogen oxide production catalyst can be newly activated, deoxidized and reduced to generate a new hydrogen production catalyst that can be reused.

(2) The present invention enables raw materials such as hydrogen production catalyst and water that need to be used in the system to be continuously recycled by activating them again in the system even after the hydrogen production catalyst has been used. In addition, since water is recovered and reused during the operation of the system, the amount of water required from outside can be significantly reduced, resulting in cost savings. (3) The present invention enables the recovery and reuse of raw materials such as hydrogen production catalysts and water that need to be used in the system during system operation, thereby producing inexpensive green hydrogen and green electricity. The production cost of this green hydrogen is cheaper than that of conventional technology, making it highly industrially competitive. (4) The system of the present invention can generate green hydrogen by adding water when hydrogen is used according to the amount required on-site and on-demand. In this way, since green hydrogen is generated using a solid hydrogen production catalyst, problems such as the difficulty and high cost of storing and transporting hydrogen can be effectively solved. (5) The system of the present invention can provide cheap green hydrogen and green electricity, effectively replacing fossil fuels and effectively resolving the problems of global climate change and global warming, thereby increasing income and enhancing economic profits. (6) The system of the present invention has the features of green hydrogen and green electricity, such as reversibility and interchangeability, so that green hydrogen can be generated during times when electricity prices are low, and green electricity can be generated during times when electricity prices are high. This flexibility allows for a variety of implementations, resulting in high economic returns. [Explanation of symbols]
