Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
The invention provides a direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system, which aims to solve the problem of unstable input power of an electrolytic cell in the prior art.
As shown in fig. 2, the dc-coupled off-grid hydrogen production system comprises: a new energy system 101, a converter system 102, and at least two hydrogen production cell systems.
The new energy system 101 may be formed by connecting photovoltaic power generation branches in parallel, or by connecting wind power generation branches in parallel, or by connecting two power generation branches in parallel in unlimited number, depending on the specific application environment, which is not limited herein, and is within the protection scope of the present application as long as each power generation branch is connected in parallel to the output end of the new energy system 101.
The converter system 102 includes a plurality of power converters. Moreover, the input end of each power converter is connected with the output end of the new energy system 101; that is, the input ends of the power converters are connected in parallel, and as long as the power converters are in an operating state, the corresponding power converters can perform power conversion on the electric energy generated by the new energy system 101 together; by means of suitable control, the individual operating power converters can be made to achieve an even distribution of electrical energy to the new energy system 101.
In the converter system 102, the output end of each power converter is respectively connected with the hydrogen production tank power supply end of each hydrogen production tank system, so that the hydrogen production tanks in each hydrogen production tank system are respectively and independently supplied with power; compared with the direct parallel connection of the hydrogen production tanks, the problem that the voltage/current between the hydrogen production tanks is not matched due to the inconsistent tank temperatures of the hydrogen production tanks, so that a loop is generated between the hydrogen production tanks, the system reliability is reduced, and even safety accidents are caused can be solved.
Each hydrogen production tank system comprises a hydrogen production tank and a control cabinet; each control cabinet is responsible for monitoring the conditions of the corresponding hydrogen production tank such as tank pressure, tank temperature, hydrogen/oxygen liquid level and the like; the hydrogen production tank can be any one of an alkali liquor electrolytic tank, a PEM electrolytic tank and a solid oxide electrolytic tank; it is not specifically limited herein, and is within the scope of the present application, depending on the specific application environment.
For a PEM electrolytic cell, hydrogen production can be realized when the power supply of the PEM electrolytic cell fluctuates within 0% -100%, but the prior art is still immature, particularly in the aspect of service life; from the viewpoints of reliability and the like, an alkali liquor electrolytic cell system is still the inevitable choice for large-scale hydrogen production of a new energy power station level, but the alkali liquor electrolytic cell has the requirement of minimum current/voltage limitation, and generally needs the power supply current of the alkali liquor electrolytic cell to be about 30% of the rated current, otherwise, the gas production purity of the alkali liquor electrolytic cell is not high, the alkali liquor electrolytic cell is actively stopped, and even safety hazards are brought; if a plurality of alkali liquor electrolytic cells with small capacity are connected in parallel through switches and whether the alkali liquor electrolytic cells work is controlled according to the principle of power distribution, the problem of the loop between the hydrogen production cells is easily caused, and the power supply current of each alkali liquor electrolytic cell can not meet the normal operation requirement.
In the embodiment, the independent power supply of each hydrogen production tank is realized through the structural connection relationship shown in FIG. 2, so that the problem of a loop between the hydrogen production tanks is avoided; moreover, MPPT operation is carried out on the electric energy output by the new energy system 101 through a system controller in the converter system 102, and the operation of a corresponding number of power converters is controlled according to the maximum power point information obtained through operation, namely the operation number of hydrogen production tanks is determined according to the output power of the new energy system 101; even if the hydrogen production tank is an alkali liquor electrolytic tank, the fluctuation of the output power of the new energy and the minimum current/voltage characteristic of the alkali liquor electrolytic tank can be effectively balanced.
In addition, for other electrolytic cells such as PEM (proton exchange membrane), solid oxide and the like, parallel switching is realized by controlling the working quantity of the power converters, and when the power of the new energy system 101 is small, part of the power converters and the corresponding hydrogen production cells can be switched, so that the efficiency of the power converters and the corresponding hydrogen production cells can be improved, and the overall efficiency of the direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system can be improved.

As shown in fig. 3: photovoltaic power generation branch road includes: at least one photovoltaic string; and two ends of each photovoltaic group string are respectively used for connecting the output end of the new energy system 101.

As shown in fig. 4: the wind power generation branch includes: a fan, and, a DFIG or PMSG; and the fan is connected with the output end of the new energy system 101 through the DFIG or the PMSG. In this case, the power converter to which the DFIG or PMSG is connected is an AC/DC converter, or an AC/DC converter and a DC/DC converter connected in series. The AC side of the AC/DC converter is connected with the DFIG or the PMSG; and the direct current side of the AC/DC converter is directly connected with the corresponding hydrogen production tank power supply end, or is connected with the corresponding hydrogen production tank power supply end through the corresponding DC/DC converter.

The direct-current coupling photovoltaic off-grid hydrogen production system shown in fig. 3 is taken as an example for explanation:
the input of each DC/DC converter in the converter system is connected in parallel, and the output is connected with the corresponding hydrogen production tank system. In the alkali liquor hydrogen production tank system, the input current of the hydrogen production tank must be larger than a certain limit value, which is determined by different hydrogen production tank manufacturers and is generally 30% or 50%; however, since the photovoltaic power of the front stage fluctuates, if one or more photovoltaic power generation branches correspond to one hydrogen production tank through one DC/DC converter, the photovoltaic output power may hardly meet the requirements of the alkali solution electrolysis tank in the morning, evening and shady states; in the system provided by the embodiment, the operation of the alkali liquor electrolytic tank is indirectly controlled by controlling the working number of the DC/DC converter, so that the dynamic balance between the photovoltaic output power fluctuation and the power characteristic of the alkali liquor electrolytic tank can be realized; in addition, the system provided by the embodiment is simple in structure and can realize the maximum utilization of new energy.
The principle of the direct-current coupling wind power off-grid hydrogen production system shown in fig. 4 and the direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system combining photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation, which is not shown, is similar to the above content, and is not described in detail here.
On the basis of the previous embodiment and fig. 2 to 4, in the converter system 102, optionally, each power converter realizes master-slave control through its own built-in controller, and the built-in controller as a communication host is a system controller; alternatively, in the converter system 102, the controllers built in the power converters are collectively controlled by the system controller.
In the converter system 102, each power converter is connected to a control cabinet of the hydrogen production tank system connected thereto through its own built-in controller.
In practical application, the communication connection among the power converters and the communication connection between the power converters and the corresponding hydrogen production tank system control cabinet can be realized through a built-in communication module of the power converters or by combining an external communication unit of the power converters; the communication connection may be a wired or wireless communication mode according to an actual application environment, and is not limited herein and is within the scope of the present application.
The direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system provided by the embodiment not only can effectively balance the fluctuation of new energy power and the power characteristic requirements of an alkali liquor hydrogen production tank system through the principle described in the embodiment, but also has simple control and easy scheme realization in the converter system, and can realize reliable operation through master-slave control or centralized control among all power converters; in addition, the system has strong universality, can be applied to distributed and centralized off-grid hydrogen production systems, and can be applied to various occasions such as various household roofs, industrial and commercial roofs, hills, deserts, fishing light complementation and the like.
In practical application, the direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system provided by the above embodiment may implement the balance between the fluctuation of the new energy power and the power characteristic requirement of the hydrogen production tank system by using the control method shown in fig. 5, where the control method specifically includes:
s101, a system controller of a converter system in the direct current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system performs MPPT operation on electric energy output by a new energy system in the direct current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system to obtain maximum power point information.
The maximum power point information includes at least a power Pmpp of the maximum power point, or may further include a current Impp of the maximum power point.
S102, the system controller determines the running number of power converters of a converter system in the direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system according to the maximum power point information and the running requirement of the hydrogen production tank system in the direct-current coupling off-grid hydrogen production system.
In an actual system, the state of a hydrogen production tank system changes along with the input power, namely, the hydrogen production tank system is started and stopped along with the change of the power of new energy; specifically, the step may include, as shown in fig. 6:
s201, calculating by a system controller according to the operation requirement of the hydrogen production tank system and the preset operation number of the power converters in the preset operation state of the converter system to obtain the power range of the converter system in the preset operation state.
S202, the system controller judges whether the power of the maximum power point is in a power range.
If the power of the maximum power point is within the power range, executing step S203; if the power of the maximum power point is larger than the upper limit of the power range, executing step S204; if the power of the maximum power point is smaller than the lower limit of the power range, step S205 is executed.
And S203, the system controller takes the preset operation number of the power converters as the operation number of the power converters.
And S204, the system controller takes the sum of the preset operation number of the power converters plus 1 as the operation number of the power converters.
And S205, taking the difference of subtracting 1 from the preset operation number of the power converters as the operation number of the power converters by the system controller.
In practical application, a system controller of the converter system firstly obtains the power Pmpp of the maximum power point of the new energy system according to MPPT operation; when Pmpp > P _ limit1, controlling the operation number of the power converters to increase by 1, namely increasing one hydrogen making tank system to start and produce gas; when the P _ limit2 is less than Pmpp < P _ limit1, the operation number of the power converters is not increased or decreased, and the preset operation number of the power converters in the preset operation state of the converter system is maintained; and when Pmpp < P _ limit2, the number of power converter operations is reduced by 1, namely one hydrogen production tank system is shut down. Here, P _ limit1 is the upper limit of the power range, and P _ limit2 is the lower limit of the power range, both of which need to be actually adjusted according to the hydrogen production tank system of the actual alkaline electrolysis tank.
S103, the system controller determines the operation parameter reference value of the corresponding power converter in the converter system according to the maximum power point information and the operation number of the power converters.
The operating parameter refers to the output current or the operating power, so the operating parameter reference value is the output current reference value or the operating power reference value. When the operation parameter reference value is an operation power reference value, the maximum power point information only comprises the power Pmpp of the maximum power point; and when the operation parameter reference value is the output current reference value, the maximum power point information includes: the power Pmpp and the current Impp of the maximum power point.
Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the system controller determines the operation parameter reference value of a corresponding power converter in the converter system to be Impp/N according to the current Impp of the maximum power point and the operation number N of the power converters; or the system controller determines the operation power reference value of the corresponding power converter in the converter system to be Pmpp/N according to the power Pmpp of the maximum power point and the operation number N of the power converters.
And S104, issuing each operation parameter reference value to the corresponding power converter by the system controller.
In an actual system, an internal control cabinet in the subsequent hydrogen production tank system needs to have controllable input current/power according to the tank pressure, tank temperature, hydrogen/oxygen liquid level and other conditions, that is, the output current/power of the corresponding power converter needs to be set to be adjustable by the subsequent hydrogen production tank system, so after step S104, the control method further includes:
and S105, judging whether the power converters in operation receive operation parameter adjusting instructions sent by the hydrogen production tank system connected with the power converters in operation.
The operation parameter adjusting instruction has the same attribute as the operation parameter for which the operation parameter reference value is aimed, and is the output current or the operation power; depending on the specific application environment, the method is not limited herein and is within the scope of the present application.
If the operation parameter adjusting instruction is not received, executing step S106; if the operation parameter adjustment instruction is received, step S107 is executed.
And S106, outputting the corresponding power converter according to the operation parameter reference value.
And S107, outputting the corresponding power converter according to the smaller one of the operation parameter adjusting instruction and the operation parameter reference value.
If the operation parameter adjustment command is smaller than the operation parameter reference value, after step S107 is executed, the power generated by the new energy system will be remained, and the remained power can be equally divided by other operable power converters, so that step S107 should be executed:
and S108, determining the remaining operation parameters to be distributed by the system controller according to the maximum power point information and the number of the power converters receiving the operation parameter adjusting instruction.
The residual operating parameter and the operating parameter corresponding to the operating parameter reference value have the same attribute, and are both the output current or the operating power; the method is determined according to the specific application environment, and is not limited herein and is within the protection scope of the application; and, the calculation formula of the remaining operating parameters is:
X1=Xmpp-n*min(Xmpp/N,Xref);
wherein, X1 is the remaining operation parameter, N is the number of power converters receiving the operation parameter adjustment instruction, Xmpp is the operation parameter of the maximum power point, N is the number of power converters operating, Xref is the operation parameter reference value.

And S110, calculating by the system controller according to the remaining operation parameters and the number of the power converters with the operation parameters to be distributed to obtain a new operation parameter reference value of each power converter with the current to be distributed.
The new operating parameter reference values are: X1/N1; wherein N1 is the number of power converters to which the operating parameter is to be assigned.
And S111, issuing each new operation parameter reference value to the corresponding power converter by the system controller.
According to the process, a system controller in the converter system firstly determines the power Pmpp of the maximum power point input by the new energy system according to the MPPT operation; if the operation parameter for controlling the new energy system is the output current, the current Impp of the maximum power point input by the new energy system needs to be determined at the moment.

If the power converter does not receive an operating parameter adjustment command for the corresponding hydrogen production cell system, the power converter outputs a current at Impp/N (or Pmpp/N). If the power converter receives an operation parameter adjustment instruction, such as a current adjustment instruction Iref (or a power adjustment instruction Pref), issued by the corresponding hydrogen production tank system, the power converter outputs current according to the smaller one of Impp/N and Iref (or Pmpp/N and Pref).
