Description
A semi-physical simulation system for liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage, and in particular to a semi-physical simulation system for liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage. Background Technology
[0002] Existing single energy storage technologies are insufficient to simultaneously meet the demands of large-scale renewable energy generation for both medium- and long-term energy storage and ultra-short-term power storage. Therefore, a hybrid energy storage system combining liquid hydrogen (energy-type) and superconducting magnetic energy storage has been proposed. This system utilizes liquid hydrogen as a large-scale, long-term energy storage medium, achieving bidirectional energy exchange between electricity and hydrogen through water electrolysis and fuel cell components. Simultaneously, it leverages the rapid response and high power output of superconducting magnetic energy storage to provide short-term power support for the power system. This system combines the advantages of both energy and power storage, effectively mitigating power fluctuations across various timescales and improving overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, liquid hydrogen also serves as a cooling medium for the superconducting magnet, avoiding the increased costs associated with separate liquid nitrogen or liquid helium refrigeration systems for the magnet, thus achieving a dual coupling of energy and matter in the hybrid energy storage device.
[0003] Liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage, as a novel composite energy storage concept, is still in its early stages of research both domestically and internationally. Most studies utilize computer simulation methods for purely digital simulation research of this energy storage technology. This involves constructing mathematical models of various components such as liquid hydrogen storage, superconducting magnetic energy storage, water electrolysis for hydrogen production, and fuel cells. Computer simulations are then used to model the operation of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system under different operating conditions, such as varying grid loads and different operating modes. The simulation results are then used to analyze the system's performance indicators, such as energy conversion efficiency, response time, temperature changes, and energy loss.
[0004] However, the normal operation of key components such as liquid hydrogen energy storage, superconducting magnetic energy storage, water electrolysis for hydrogen production, and fuel cells is affected by the coupling effects of multiple physical fields such as electric field, temperature field, flow field, and magnetic field. At the same time, the influence of other auxiliary equipment (cooling equipment, circulating pumps, etc.) in the entire industrial system should also be considered. These influencing factors are difficult to simulate in pure digital simulation. The existing pure digital simulation models of liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage systems cannot well describe the operation of the system, which affects the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results.

[0077] Preferably, the step of obtaining the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage physical system and generating a control signal for the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage physical system based on the operating parameters and the operating status of the simulated renewable energy power generation system includes: calculating the difference between the total power generation and the total load power in the simulated renewable energy power generation system based on the operating status of the simulated renewable energy power generation system, and using the difference as the unbalanced power of the simulated renewable energy power generation system; decomposing the unbalanced power into high-frequency power components and low-frequency power components, and generating a control signal for the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage physical system based on the high-frequency power components, low-frequency power components, and the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage physical system, so that the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage physical system can smooth out the high-frequency power components and low-frequency power components according to the control signal.
[0078] Preferably, the step of generating a control signal for the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system based on the high-frequency power component, the low-frequency power component, and the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system, so that the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system can suppress the high-frequency and low-frequency power components according to the control signal, includes: for the high-frequency power component, generating a first control signal for the controllable bidirectional DC power supply in the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system based on the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system, so that the controllable bidirectional DC power supply can control the charging and discharging current of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage device according to the first control signal to suppress the high-frequency power component; for the low-frequency power component, ... When grid power redundancy occurs in the simulated renewable energy power generation system, a second control signal is generated for the water electrolysis hydrogen production device in the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system based on the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system. This allows the water electrolysis hydrogen production device to convert excess electrical energy into hydrogen according to the second control signal, thereby suppressing the low-frequency power component. When grid power deficit occurs in the simulated renewable energy power generation system, a third control signal is generated for the fuel cell device in the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system based on the operating parameters of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system. This allows the fuel cell device to convert stored hydrogen into electrical energy according to the third control signal, thereby suppressing the low-frequency power component.
[0079] Preferably, after the water electrolysis hydrogen production device converts excess electrical energy into hydrogen according to the second control signal, the method further includes: obtaining the actual hydrogen production in the water electrolysis hydrogen production device, and then generating a fourth control signal for the bidirectional circulation pump in the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage system according to the actual hydrogen production, so that the bidirectional circulation pump adjusts the flow rate of liquid hydrogen delivery according to the fourth control signal, and delivers liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen storage tank to the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage device.
[0080] Preferably, after the fuel cell device converts the stored hydrogen into electrical energy according to the third control signal, the method further includes: obtaining the actual power generation in the fuel cell device, and then generating a fifth control signal for the bidirectional circulation pump in the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage system according to the actual power generation, so that the bidirectional circulation pump adjusts the flow rate of liquid hydrogen delivery according to the fifth control signal, and delivers the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen superconducting synergistic energy storage device to the liquid hydrogen storage tank.
[0081] Specifically, this hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform realistically simulates the main operation of a liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage prototype using three core devices: a fuel cell device (1), a water electrolysis hydrogen production device (2), and a liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device (6), along with their supporting components. Considering the high cost, time-consuming nature, and relatively low safety of physical manufacturing of new power systems with a high proportion of new energy sources, hydrogen liquefaction / vaporization devices, and power conversion and control modules, these components are constructed as digital models on the RT-LAB real-time simulation platform. Through the platform's real-time calculation function, the digital model can accurately control the coordinated operation of the physical devices, greatly improving the economy and safety of the simulation and providing an efficient and reliable verification method for the future development of actual prototypes.
[0082] The simulation method for this platform is as follows:
[0083] First, a stable connection between the RT-LAB real-time simulator and the host computer is established by establishing TCP / IP communication (16). Using the host computer software, a simulation model of a new power system with a high proportion of new energy, a hydrogen liquefaction / vaporization device, and a power conversion and control module is constructed in the RT-LAB real-time simulator, and the corresponding input and output signal interfaces are configured. The power measurement module in Simulink is used to calculate the difference between the generated power and the load power in real time. Specifically, the power output and input of each component are measured using power sensors, and the difference between the total generated power and the total load power is calculated to obtain the unbalanced power (i.e., the difference between the generated power and the load). The unbalanced power of the system is filtered to decompose into high-frequency and low-frequency components, of which the high-frequency component is undertaken by the superconducting magnetic energy storage system and the low-frequency component is undertaken by the liquid hydrogen energy storage system. Since the carrying capacity of the superconducting magnetic energy storage and liquid hydrogen energy storage is limited by the current system state, it is necessary to collect state signals (such as temperature, liquid level, etc.) in real time to evaluate the actual carrying capacity of each energy storage unit. By combining these state signals, the simulation part will generate reasonable control signals to effectively allocate unbalanced power, accurately regulate the operating status of external components, and ensure the stable operation of the system and the optimized utilization of energy storage resources.
[0084] Because superconducting magnets possess extremely fast response speeds and high power densities, they can store and release electrical energy within milliseconds. Therefore, when high-frequency power imbalances occur in the power grid or system, superconducting magnets can rapidly absorb or release electrical energy, smoothing power fluctuations and maintaining stable system operation. The conversion between electrical and hydrogen energy is relatively slow, making liquid hydrogen energy storage systems suitable for handling low-frequency power imbalances. Liquid hydrogen energy storage systems have high energy density and can store large amounts of energy for extended periods, making them suitable for handling prolonged power imbalances and large-scale energy storage needs.
[0085] For superconducting magnets, temperature is a crucial indicator because their performance is highly dependent on their operating temperature. Monitoring temperature allows us to determine if the superconducting magnet is operating at its optimal state; excessively high temperatures reduce its load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, real-time monitoring of current and voltage can assess the instantaneous power output capability and current energy storage status of the superconducting magnet. For liquid hydrogen energy storage systems, the liquid level directly reflects the stored energy, thus assessing the available energy reserves.
[0086] The unbalanced power is decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency components through filtering. Then, based on the filtered power components, corresponding control signals are generated to adjust the output power of each energy storage unit. For superconducting magnets, the control signals adjust their charging and discharging power to cope with high-frequency fluctuations; for liquid hydrogen energy storage systems, the control signals adjust the operating power of the fuel cell unit and the water electrolysis hydrogen production unit to cope with low-frequency fluctuations.
[0087] In power system simulation, to cope with high-frequency and rapid power fluctuations, the operation of the controllable bidirectional DC power supply (3) is adjusted by issuing control signals, thereby controlling the charging and discharging current of the superconducting magnetic energy storage device to simulate its effect on smoothing high-frequency power fluctuations. The superconducting magnetic energy storage device, with its high power density and fast response capability, can effectively buffer these power fluctuations in a short time and maintain system stability.
[0088] For low-frequency power fluctuations in the power system, when the power grid has power redundancy (i.e., the power generation exceeds the load demand), the operation of the water electrolysis hydrogen production device is controlled by signal (11) to convert the excess electrical energy into hydrogen. The reaction equation for water electrolysis hydrogen production is: 2H2O→2H2+O2 (1)
[0089] Subsequently, based on the actual hydrogen production collected by signal (8), signal (13) is adjusted to control the flow rate of the bidirectional circulation pump, and the liquid hydrogen in the liquid hydrogen storage tank (4) is transported to the liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device (6). This process simulates the process of the hydrogen liquefaction device liquefying hydrogen and storing it in the liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device, further enhancing the system's energy storage and regulation capabilities.
[0090] In the power system, when low-frequency power fluctuations occur and the power grid is short-supplied (i.e., the power generation is lower than the load demand), the operation of the fuel cell device is controlled by signal (10) to convert the stored hydrogen into electrical energy to supplement the power gap in the simulated power system. The fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy. Its basic principle is the reverse reaction of water electrolysis to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen and oxygen are supplied to the anode and cathode respectively. After hydrogen diffuses outward through the anode and reacts with the electrolyte, it releases free electrons, which are transmitted through the external circuit and generate electrical energy. The reaction equation of the hydrogen fuel cell is: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O (2)
[0091] Based on the actual power generation collected by signal (9), the compensation amount is precisely adjusted to ensure stable system operation. At the same time, based on the actual hydrogen demand, the flow rate of the bidirectional circulation pump is controlled by adjusting signal (13) to transport liquid hydrogen from the liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device (6) to the liquid hydrogen storage tank (4). This process simulates the process of liquid hydrogen vaporization device vaporizing liquid hydrogen into hydrogen, providing a continuous hydrogen supply for the fuel cell and ensuring its efficient operation. This process effectively simulates the response mechanism of the liquid hydrogen superconducting co-existing energy storage system in response to grid power shortage, demonstrating its key role in balancing power and stabilizing power supply in the power system.
[0092] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device. The core component of this hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform, the liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device, mainly consists of: a cryogenic level transmitter (17), a high-precision digital current source (18), a cryogenic temperature sensor (19), liquid hydrogen (20), a superconducting magnet (21), an adiabatic Dewar (22), and an aviation connector (23). Specifically, the cryogenic level transmitter (17) needs to have an accuracy class of 1.0 or higher and be able to withstand an ultra-low temperature environment of 20K, and is specifically used to measure the liquid hydrogen level in the adiabatic Dewar. To ensure that the superconducting magnet is always immersed in liquid hydrogen and to prevent quenching failure, the minimum liquid hydrogen level must always be higher than the height of the superconducting magnet. The cryogenic temperature sensor (19) uses a DT64 silicon diode temperature sensor, with a temperature measurement range covering 4 to 325K. Inside the device, four temperature sensors are arranged to monitor the temperature of hydrogen above the liquid surface, the temperature of liquid hydrogen below the liquid surface, the surface temperature of the superconducting magnet, and the bottom temperature of the liquid hydrogen from top to bottom, providing comprehensive temperature monitoring to ensure the safe and stable operation of the device. A high-precision digital current source (18) is used to provide a precise excitation current of 10μA for the cryogenic temperature sensors. It is particularly important to note that each temperature sensor must have an independent current channel, and the four temperature sensors cannot be connected in series to avoid affecting the accuracy of the current output, thereby ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement. The liquid level, temperature, and superconducting magnet current are all converted into analog signals and input to the RT-LAB real-time simulator for control feedback and data result analysis.

Compared with traditional pure digital simulation research, it adds the physical integration of key equipment—a water electrolysis hydrogen production device, a fuel cell device, and a liquid hydrogen-cooled superconducting magnetic energy storage device—and their supporting components. By introducing these actual physical devices, the credibility and accuracy of the simulation experiments are greatly improved, ensuring that the simulation results are closer to real application scenarios, and greatly narrowing the gap between simulation and actual operation, thereby providing reliable technical support for the development of future prototypes and practical engineering applications.

Combined with the real-time collaborative operation of physical equipment, it greatly enhances the ability to analyze system responses under complex operating conditions. This semi-physical simulation method can not only verify the dynamic behavior of the system under different complex operating conditions, but also effectively reduce the time and cost of prototype development and improve the safety of system testing.

[0097] (4) The multi-module scalability of the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform based on the RT-LAB real-time simulator provides greater flexibility and scalability for subsequent testing research and prototype development. Simulation modules can be flexibly added or adjusted according to actual needs, thereby quickly adapting to different testing requirements and research directions. This high scalability not only helps to accelerate the verification and optimization of new functions, but also expands the capabilities of the simulation system without increasing hardware investment, laying a solid foundation for future large-scale applications.
