The system 100 of one embodiment is associated with fuel cell 10 and system power supply (for example, source power supply), and optionally by producing the running of electric power P1 and commercial power.Be system 100 when starting fluid battery 10, by the running of the commercial power of system power supply, and producing in the operation process of electric power, by the production electric power P1 running of fuel cell 10 by fuel cell 10.
For this reason, power distributor 30 is disposed between fuel cell 10 and the system power supply, makes commercial power can supply to fuel cell 10.Be startup or the running of power distributor 30, optionally commercial power supplied on other member of system with production electric power P1 along with fuel cell 10.
The economy that the unbalance difference of electric power (△ P=P2-P1) is come raising system 100 between production electric power P1 and the user of fuel cell controller 50 through eliminating fuel cell 10 the load electric P2.And, consider that the commercial power of system power supply is suitable for progression expense system, fuel cell controller 50 makes preferably that in the low price scope commercial power is used.
For this reason, fuel cell controller 50 comprises: load tracking device 51, economy identifier 52, running controller 53 and data random asccess memory (RAM) 54.Load tracking device 51 is judged the electrical production direction according to the unbalance difference of electric power (△ P=P2-P1) of producing electric power P1 and load electric P2.Economy identifier 52 is through relatively the production power price MWP of fuel cell 10 and the commercial power price WP of system power supply discern economy.Running controller 53 is in view of the change of load electric P2, and corresponding to specified generating, substep is controlled the electrical production stage of fuel cell 10, and the production electric energy of fuel cell 10, the flow of Linear Control generating raw material, air and cooling water.More concrete action effect as for to fuel cell controller 50 describes combination controlling method.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart of schematically representing the control method of fuel cell co-generation unit shown in Figure 1.Visible with reference to Fig. 2, the control method of the fuel cell co-generation unit of an embodiment (calling " control method " in the following text) comprising: the first calculation procedure ST10, the second calculation procedure ST20, economy determining step ST30 and electric power supplying step ST40.
The price of the production electric power P1 that the first calculation procedure ST10 computing fuel battery 10 is produced is promptly produced power price (MWP).Promptly in the first calculation procedure ST10, detect use amount, the cost of material FP (price/Nm of unit of generating raw material F
3) and produce electric energy ST11, and calculate production power price MWP (ST12) by these data.
For example, be F (Nm if fuel cell 10 was produced the employed generating raw material of electric energy of P kWh in 1 hour
3), unit generating cost of material be FP (won/Nm
3), then the production power price MWP of fuel cell 10 be F * FP/P (won/kWh).
The second calculation procedure ST20 calculates the price of the commercial power of employed system power supply, i.e. commercial power price WP.Promptly the second calculation procedure ST20 comprises: unbalance difference calculation procedure ST21, the unbalance difference of electric power (△ P=P2-P1) of the production electric power P1 of computing fuel battery 10 and load electric P2; Scope determining step ST22 judges whether the unbalance difference △ P of electric power exceeds the predetermined set value scope; Electrical production step ST23 if the unbalance difference △ P of electric power falls in the predetermined set value scope, then reduces and produces electric power P1, if the unbalance difference △ P of electric power exceeds the predetermined set value scope, then increases and produces electric power P1; Integrating step ST24, integrating (∫ △ P) that supplied to the commercial electric energy corresponding commercial power of unbalance difference △ P; And calculation procedure ST25, through comparing the commercial electric energy and the progression expense system of institute's integrating, calculate commercial power price WP.
In economy determining step ST30, through relatively producing power price MWP and commercial power price WP (ST31), thereby judge that being used to discern the economy index (EW=MWP-WP) of producing the electric power economy still bears (-) (ST32) for just (+).
Data random asccess memory (RAM) 54 is used for the commercial electric energy (∫ △ P) of integrating and as the commercial power price WP in each progression interval of the systematic electricity of progression expense system of the system power supply that storage of real time uses.Therefore, economy identifier 52 calculates commercial power price WP in real time by the commercial electric energy (∫ △ P) of integrating, and compares with the production power price MWP of fuel cell 10, thereby judges economy index E W and send it to running controller 53.
In electric power supplying step ST40, as economy index E W during, commercial power is supplied to (ST41) in the load 25 for just (+), as economy index E W during, will produce electric power P1 and supply to (ST42) in the load 25 for negative (-).That is, economy index E W is that just (+) means that the production power price MWP of fuel cell 10 is more expensive than the commercial power price WP of system power supply, therefore cheap relatively commercial power is supplied in the load 25.And economy index E W means that for negative (-) the production power price MWP of fuel cell 10 is cheaper than the commercial power price WP of system power supply, therefore cheap relatively production electric power P1 is supplied in the load 25.Therefore, system 100 has economy.
Fig. 3 is the commercial power of comparison system power supply and the production electric power electric energy separately and the curve chart of power price of fuel cell.Explain one for example down with reference to Fig. 3: electrical production step ST23 comprises first to fourth electrical production step ST231, ST232, ST233, ST234 in the second calculation procedure ST20.
For the ease of explanation, commercial power price WP is called uniform quotient with production power price MWP consistent commercial electric energy on set point uses electric energy Pe.The time that for example, will whether and in advance to be set for the generation of judging the unbalance difference △ P of electric power was made as 5 minutes to 10 minutes.
In the first electrical production step ST231, if employed commercial electric energy in the scope less than Pe/3, is then produced the production electric power P1 that lacks than the actual loading electric energy, so that the unbalance difference △ P of electric power is 3/10 of specified generating.
In the second electrical production step ST232, if employed commercial electric energy more than Pe/3 and in the scope less than 2Pe/3, is then produced the production electric power P1 that lacks than the actual loading electric energy, so that the unbalance difference △ P of electric power is 2/10 of specified generating.
In the 3rd electrical production step ST233, if employed commercial electric energy more than 2Pe/3 and in the scope less than Pe, is then produced the production electric power P1 that lacks than the actual loading electric energy, so that the unbalance difference △ P of electric power is 1/10 of specified generating.
In the 4th electrical production step ST234, if the scope of employed commercial electric energy more than Pe then produced the production electric power P1 that can eliminate the unbalance difference △ P of electric power.
That is, in electrical production step ST23, when control commercial power use amount, control, use electric energy Pe with the consistent uniform quotient of fuel cell manufacture power price MWP thereby make it reach commercial power price WP with the mode that moves to optimization procedure.In view of the hot production prices HP that fuel cell 10 is produced, can raise and produce power price MWP, the uniform quotient of system power supply can move to new uniform quotient with electric energy Phe (with reference to Fig. 3) with electric energy Pe thereupon.Thus, the electric power that the system 100 of an embodiment can eliminate between production electric power P1 and user's the load electric P2 of fuel cell 10 is unbalance, thereby has economy.
For another example; Because user's load electric change; Electrical production step ST23 can be divided into 9 steps of specified generating (when for example specified generating is 1000W; Be divided into 100W, 200W, 300W, 400W, 500W, 600W, 700W, 800W, 900W and 1000W), and by fuel cell 10 production electric power P1.In electrical production step ST23, if more than predetermined setting-up time during in, predetermined production electric energy and the electric energy loaded unbalance difference △ P of electric power are more than 1/10 of specified generating, then move to next procedure and produce electrogenesis power P1 next life.At this moment, the production electric energy that fuel cell 10 is produced, generating raw material, the air that supplies to fuel cell pack and cooling water flow produce linear change.
Below, be that example describes with commercial electric energy with the interval commercial power price of each progression based on the system power supply that is suitable for progression expense system (for example Korean Electric Power Company).
As shown in table 1, when using 1Nm
3Generating raw material (for example town gas) when producing the production electric power P1 of 4kWh, if the town gas price is 670 yuan/Nm
3, in the interval of 0kWh to 200kWh, produce power price MWP=670 * 200/4=33500 unit, so the commercial power price of system power supply (WP=55.1 * 100+113.8 * 100=16890 unit) is well below producing power price.Promptly in Fig. 3, electric energy (kWh) is in 0 to Pe scope.
As stated, the commercial power of the preferential using system power supply of the control method of an embodiment till the production power price MWP of every month commercial power price WP and fuel cell is consistent, thereby reduces energy expenditure to greatest extent.For example, every month can be in the use amount scope of 0.5 * Pe to 0.9 * Pe the commercial power of using system power supply.
And; The system 100 of one embodiment and control method comparison are by the commercial power price WP of the generating production power price MWP that calculates of cost of material and system power supply and the new renewable energy resources (for example; Wind-force, sunlight etc.) the production power price; Make it possible to use the new renewable energy resources, and when adopting the new renewable energy resources, can further improve economy.
Above preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative, but the present invention is not limited thereto, in the scope of claims and specification and accompanying drawing, can be out of shape in every way and implement, and this distortion naturally belongs in the scope of the present invention.
