In this embodiment, the power input in the dynamic hydrogen production process may be any fluctuating power source, such as wind power, photovoltaic, and thermal power with peak shaving requirements.
In this embodiment, the apparatus for the dynamic hydrogen production process may be an alkaline electrolyzer, a PEM electrolyzer, or a SOEC electrolyzer.
In this embodiment, one or more devices may be used in the dynamic hydrogen production process, and the technologies and capacities of the devices may be the same or different.
In this embodiment, when the number of the devices in the dynamic hydrogen production process is multiple, the number of the heat exchange units may be 1 or more. For example, when the hydrogen is dynamically produced by wind power, when a plurality of fans are respectively matched with a plurality of electrolytic cells, the electrolytic cells matched with each fan can share one heat exchange unit, or each electrolytic cell is matched with one heat exchange unit. This allows for greater flexibility.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
(4.1) the control module 3 calculates the heat transmission requirements of the two electrolytic tanks:
heat supply requirement of the electrolytic cell 1:
Q1=C1×(T-T1)-Qe1
heat dissipation requirements of the electrolytic cell 2:
Q2=C2×(T2-T)+Qe2
wherein, C1 and C2 are the average specific heat capacity of the electrolytic cell; t1, T2 are the temperature of the cell; t is the optimum operating temperature of the cell; qe1、Qe2Is the heat dissipation capacity of the electrolytic cell during operation.
(4.2) the control module 3 judges the external heat transfer requirement:
if Q1 is less than Q2, the whole dynamic hydrogen production system needs to dissipate heat;
if Q1 is Q2, the dynamic hydrogen production system has no need of external heat;
if Q1 is more than Q2, the whole dynamic hydrogen production system needs heat supply.
(4.3) the control module 3 regulates and controls heat exchange behaviors:
if Q1 is less than Q2, after the heat medium flows through the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 2, a part of the heat medium flows into the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 1, and after the heat supply required by the electrolytic cell 1 is supplied, the heat medium returns to the original medium storage tank to complete circulation; the other part flows into an external heat exchanger, and after the waste heat is transferred to external heat exchange media, the waste heat returns to an original medium storage tank to complete circulation.
When Q1 is Q2, the heat medium flows through the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 2, flows into the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 1, and is supplied to the electrolytic cell 1 with the required heat supply amount, and then returns to the original medium storage tank, thereby completing the cycle.
If Q1 is more than Q2, after the heat medium flows through the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 1, a part of the heat medium flows into the internal heat exchanger of the electrolytic cell 2, and after the heat supply required by the electrolytic cell 2 is taken away, the heat medium returns to the original medium storage tank to complete circulation; the other part flows into an external heat exchanger, is heated by external heat exchange media and then returns to the original medium storage tank to complete circulation.
In the above process, the temperature T of the heat medium is between T1 and T2; the flow rate of the heat medium was:
M1=Q1/C(T-T1);M2=Q2/C(T2-T)。
wherein M1 and M2 are respectively the flow of the heat medium in the electrolytic tanks 1 and 2; and C is the specific heat capacity of the heat medium.
