The invention relates to a SOEC (
Solid Oxide Electrolyte Cell)
hydrogen production
system and an operation method thereof. The SOEC
hydrogen production
system comprises an SOEC galvanic
pile module, a deionized water pump, a deionized water preheater, a heat exchange type steam generator, an ejector, a feed gas preheater, a
hydrogen preheater, a fan, an
air preheater, a
combustor, a stop valve, a heat tracing band, a power supply, a
control system, a pipeline, a temperature sensor and the like. The
system is provided with the
combustor, the heat exchange type steam generator and the
heat exchanger, heat generated by
combustion of
natural gas is used for providing heat for high-temperature
raw material gas and high-temperature air required by the SOEC
hydrogen production system in a heat exchange mode, meanwhile, heat of high-temperature gas at an outlet of an SOEC galvanic
pile module is recycled, and the
power consumption of the SOEC
hydrogen production system is effectively reduced; in addition, the high-temperature
raw material gas containing hydrogen is heated in a heat exchange mode instead of an
electric heating mode, so that the safety of the
hydrogen production system is effectively improved; the system is low in
power consumption, stable, reliable and high in
operability.
