All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and the claims of the present invention and the above figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the invention described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprise" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
The embodiment of the invention provides a temperature control method of a hydrogen production system, which can be suitable for the temperature regulation requirement of an electrolytic water hydrogen production system, and can be implemented by a temperature control device of the hydrogen production system, wherein the temperature control device can be realized in a hardware and/or software mode, and the control device can be configured in a control cabinet of the hydrogen production system.
In this embodiment, the hydrogen production system may be constituted by any one of the structures of the electrolytic hydrogen production systems in the prior art. Illustratively, the hydrogen production system includes an electrolytic hydrogen production main circuit constituted by a pure water supply device, a gas separator, a heat exchanger, an alkali liquor circulation pump, and an electrolytic tank, and a cooling water supply circuit of the heat exchanger constituted by a cooling tower and a cooling water circulation pump. Wherein a thermometer is arranged near the electrolytic cell, such as at the outlet of the electrolytic cell, so that the temperature of the electrolytic cell can be detected; the outlet of the cooling water circulating pump is provided with a flow control device and a flowmeter, the flowmeter is used for detecting the outlet flow of the cooling water circulating pump, and the flow control device is used for adjusting the outlet flow of the cooling water circulating pump. The thermometer, the flowmeter, the flow control equipment and the control equipment of the hydrogen production system form a control loop of the hydrogen production system, and are used for realizing the temperature control method of the hydrogen production system.
FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling the temperature of a hydrogen production system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the temperature control method of the hydrogen production system comprises the following steps:
s110, acquiring a temperature set value, an electrolyzer temperature, an initial flow set value and an outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump.
The set point of the temperature is the target value of the temperature regulation of the electrolytic cell, and is generally the optimal temperature required by the operation of the electrolytic cell. The temperature set point can be set by a worker or can be set by control equipment in the hydrogen production system according to the operation condition of the hydrogen production system. The temperature set point may be 90 deg.c, for example. The cell temperature may be the temperature at the cell inlet or outlet. The initial flow set point is a flow set point preliminarily determined according to the temperature set point; the outlet flow, i.e. the flow of the cooling liquid output by the cooling circulation pump, determines the cooling speed of the heat exchanger. The alkali liquor flowing out of the gas separator is cooled by the heat exchanger and then is transmitted to the electrolytic tank, so that the temperature of the electrolytic tank can be indirectly controlled by controlling the outlet flow of the cooling circulating pump.
S120, if the hydrogen production system is judged to be in a temperature single disturbance state according to the temperature set value, the temperature of the electrolytic tank, the initial flow set value and the outlet flow, executing a temperature outer ring control process and a flow inner ring control process; wherein, the temperature outer loop control process includes: adjusting an initial flow set value according to the temperature of the electrolytic tank and a temperature set value to obtain a target flow set value; the flow inner loop control process comprises the following steps: and adjusting the operation parameters of the flow control equipment according to the target flow set value and the outlet flow so as to adjust the outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump and further adjust the temperature of the electrolytic tank.
Wherein, the disturbance factors which can cause the temperature change of the electrolytic tank can be classified into two types of temperature disturbance and flow disturbance. Temperature disturbances may be caused by fluctuations in the operating environment of the hydrogen production system, etc., and are a direct factor affecting the electrolyzer temperature. The flow disturbance can be caused by the disturbance of the working power or frequency of the cooling water circulating pump, and the change of the cooling water flow influences the working state of the heat exchanger, so that the temperature of alkali liquor circulated to the electrolytic tank is influenced, the temperature of the electrolytic tank is further influenced, and the flow disturbance can be used as an indirect factor influencing the temperature of the electrolytic tank.
The temperature single disturbance state refers to: with respect to the equilibrium state, only a temperature disturbance occurs in the hydrogen production system, i.e., the hydrogen production system changes from a state where the electrolyzer temperature is equal to the temperature set point and the outlet flow is equal to the initial flow set point to a state where the electrolyzer temperature is not equal to the temperature set point and the outlet flow is still equal to the initial flow set point. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the outlet flow rate of the cooling circulation pump in accordance with the change in the temperature of the electrolytic cell so as to correct the temperature of the electrolytic cell to return to the vicinity of the temperature set point.
Specifically, the temperature outer loop control process and the flow inner loop control process form cascade control, and a flow set value according to which the flow inner loop is adjusted is provided by the temperature outer loop. Therefore, compared with the single-loop control of the operation parameters of the temperature-flow control device in the prior art, the embodiment is equivalent to inserting a secondary loop of the operation parameters of the flow-flow control device in the control system, so that the temperature outer loop and the flow inner loop are in cascade response, each stage of input and output parameters are directly related, and the flow inner loop can directly adjust the operation parameters of the flow control device according to the change of the outlet flow, thereby reducing control errors caused by the multi-stage parameter conversion process of the temperature-operation parameters and improving the control precision. In addition, in the embodiment, the outer ring is used for converting and adjusting the temperature-flow set value, the inner ring is used for converting and adjusting the operation parameters of the flow-flow control equipment, all stages of adjusting and feedback channels are effectively shortened, the response of the flow control equipment can be quickened, the phenomenon that the temperature of the electrolytic tank is greatly deviated from the temperature set value when the flow control equipment responds is avoided, the adjusting process is effectively shortened, and the overshoot of the controlled variable is reduced. The flow control device may be, for example, a regulating valve provided at the outlet of the cooling circulation pump or a regulating valve for controlling the flow of lye; the operating parameters of the flow control device include: and adjusting the opening degree of the valve.
In the temperature control method of the hydrogen production system provided by the embodiment of the invention, cascade control is formed by the outer temperature ring of the temperature-flow set value and the inner flow ring of the flow-flow control equipment operation parameter. The input and output parameters of the inner ring and the outer ring are directly related, so that control errors caused by a temperature-operation parameter multistage parameter conversion process can be effectively reduced, and control accuracy is improved. And the flow inner ring can directly adjust the operation parameters of the flow control device according to the change of the outlet flow, timely react to the flow change of the cooling circulating pump, effectively shorten the adjustment and feedback channels of the inner ring and the outer ring, quicken the response speed of the flow control device, reduce the hysteresis phenomenon of temperature control, shorten the adjustment process, reduce the overshoot of the controlled variable, improve the dynamic characteristics of the controlled object and reduce the dynamic deviation. Meanwhile, as the response speed of the flow control device is increased, the overshoot of the temperature of the electrolytic tank is reduced, the energy consumption in the temperature adjusting process can be effectively reduced, and the energy consumption and the electrolytic efficiency loss caused by overlarge temperature offset of the electrolytic tank are reduced. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the invention can reduce the hysteresis phenomenon of the temperature control of the hydrogen production system and improve the temperature control precision of the hydrogen production system and the efficiency of the electrolytic tank.
The following describes the inner and outer loop cascade control flow in detail with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control principle of a temperature control method of a hydrogen production system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, for the temperature outer ring, r1 represents a temperature set point, gc1 represents a transfer function of a temperature controller, c1 represents a measured cell temperature, hm1 represents a transfer function of a temperature measurement transmitter unit, f1 represents a temperature disturbance factor, gf1 represents a transfer function of a temperature disturbance calculator unit, m1 represents a flow set point output by the temperature controller, and Go1 represents a transfer function of the temperature calculator unit. The temperature outer ring control process comprises the following steps: according to the measured value c1 of the temperature of the electrolytic cell, the temperature data of the electrolytic cell is obtained through conversion of a temperature measuring and transmitting unit; determining temperature deviation according to the temperature data of the electrolytic cell and a temperature set value r 1; from the temperature deviation, a flow set point m1 is determined via a transition of the temperature controller, wherein a transfer function Gc1 of the temperature controller may characterize the temperature flow correspondence. The specific influence of the outlet flow change on the temperature of the electrolytic tank can be obtained through the calculation of the temperature calculation unit, and the specific influence of the temperature disturbance factor f1 on the temperature of the electrolytic tank can be obtained through the conversion of the temperature disturbance calculation unit. However, it should be noted that the temperature disturbance factor f1 is introduced only for illustrating the reason of the change in the temperature of the electrolytic cell, including the change in the outlet flow rate of the cooling circulation pump, and the influence of other temperature disturbance factors. However, in the actual control process, there is no need to distinguish the cause of the change in the temperature of the electrolytic cell, and it is necessary to perform the temperature adjustment process as long as there is a difference in the current electrolytic cell temperature data with respect to the temperature set value r 1. Therefore, the temperature disturbance factor f1 does not need to be acquired in the control process, and a specific value of the temperature change of the electrolytic tank caused by the temperature disturbance factor f1 does not need to be calculated.
For the flow inner loop, m1 represents a flow set value output by the temperature controller, gc2 represents a transfer function of the flow controller, c2 represents an outlet flow measurement value, hm2 represents a transfer function of the flow measurement transmitter unit, f2 represents a flow disturbance factor, gf2 represents a transfer function of the flow disturbance calculation unit, m2 represents an operation parameter of the flow control device output by the flow controller, gv represents a transfer function of the flow control device, go2 represents a transfer function of the flow calculation unit. The flow inner loop control process comprises the following steps: obtaining outlet flow data through conversion of the temperature measurement transmitting unit according to the outlet flow measurement value c 2; determining flow deviation according to the outlet flow data and the flow set value m 1; from the flow deviation, an operating parameter m2 of the flow control device is determined via a transition of the flow controller, wherein a transfer function Gc2 of the flow controller characterizes the parameter flow correspondence. After the flow control device changes the working state according to the operation parameters, the flow calculation unit can calculate the regulated outlet flow; the specific influence of the flow disturbance factor f2 on the outlet flow can be obtained through the conversion of the flow disturbance calculation unit. The regulating action of the flow control device and the disturbance action of the flow disturbance factor f2 act together on the outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump. Here, too, the flow disturbance factor f2 is introduced only for explaining the cause of the variation in the outlet flow rate of the cooling circulation pump, and in the actual control process, it is not necessary to distinguish the specific cause of the variation in the outlet flow rate, and as long as there is a difference in the current outlet flow rate data with respect to the current flow rate set value m1, it is necessary to perform the flow rate adjustment process. Therefore, the flow disturbance factor f2 does not need to be acquired in the control process, and a specific value of the outlet flow change caused by the flow disturbance factor f2 does not need to be calculated.
Based on the above embodiments, optionally, for the flow inner loop control process, the outlet flow may be obtained with a first sampling frequency and the flow control device may be adjusted; for the temperature outer ring control process, the second sampling frequency can be adopted to acquire the temperature of the electrolytic cell and update the flow set value. The first sampling frequency may be equal to the second sampling frequency, so that the inner loop and outer loop adjustment of the cascade control process is performed synchronously in real time. Alternatively, the first sampling frequency may be greater than the second sampling frequency, i.e., the flow inner loop control process is cycled multiple times during each temperature sampling interval; therefore, for each target flow set value, the flow inner ring is subjected to feedback adjustment for a plurality of times, so that the outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump in each temperature sampling interval can be adjusted to be closer to the target flow set value, the adjustment effect is ensured, and meanwhile, the power consumption is reduced.
The temperature control process of the hydrogen production system will be described in detail with reference to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a flow chart of another method for controlling the temperature of a hydrogen production system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 3, the temperature control method of the hydrogen production system includes the steps of:
s210, acquiring a temperature set value, an electrolyzer temperature, an initial flow set value and an outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump.
Wherein the cell temperature may be the cell outlet temperature.
S220, judging the disturbance state of the hydrogen production system; if the hydrogen production system is in the temperature single disturbance state, executing S230; if the hydrogen production system is in the temperature flow double disturbance state, executing S240-S270; if the hydrogen production system is in a flow single disturbance state, S280-S2B0 is executed.
Specifically, the disturbance state of the hydrogen production system is judged according to the temperature set value, the temperature of the electrolytic tank, the initial flow set value and the outlet flow. If the temperature of the electrolytic tank is not equal to the temperature set value and the outlet flow is equal to the initial flow set value, the hydrogen production system is in a temperature single disturbance state; if the temperature of the electrolytic tank is not equal to the temperature set value and the outlet flow is not equal to the initial flow set value, the hydrogen production system is in a temperature flow double-disturbance state; if the flow single disturbance state includes: and if the temperature of the electrolytic tank is equal to the temperature set value and the outlet flow is not equal to the initial flow set value, the hydrogen production system is in a flow single disturbance state.
S230, executing a temperature outer loop control process and a flow inner loop control process.
The temperature single disturbance state corresponds to a case where a temperature disturbance factor acts on the temperature control outer ring. When the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank changes, but the outlet flow of the cooling circulation pump is not changed, the temperature controller changes the flow set value of the flow inner ring according to the change of the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank, and the flow controller generates a correction function according to the adjusted flow set value, so that the opening of the regulating valve arranged at the outlet of the cooling circulation pump is changed, and the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank returns to the temperature set value.
S240, executing a temperature outer ring control process, and obtaining a first target flow set value according to the temperature of the electrolytic tank and the temperature set value.
The temperature-flow double-disturbance state corresponds to the case where the temperature disturbance factor and the flow disturbance factor act on the hydrogen production system at the same time. Then, when the temperature of the electrolytic tank changes in the same direction due to the temperature disturbance factor and the flow disturbance factor, the flow deviation calculated by the flow inner ring is obviously increased, so that the output of the flow inner ring also changes greatly to overcome the disturbance rapidly. Illustratively, the flow disturbance factor reduces the outlet flow, which can cause the electrolyzer temperature to rise; at this time, the outlet flow measurement is reduced, and the outlet flow is smaller than the flow set value at the last sampling time. Meanwhile, the temperature interference factor causes the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank to rise, so that the measured value of the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank rises, and the outlet temperature of the electrolytic tank is larger than the set value of the temperature, so that the set value of the flow output by the temperature outer ring is increased, the outlet flow of the cooling circulating pump is promoted to be increased, the cooling effect of the heat exchanger is improved, and the temperature of the electrolytic tank falls back. Therefore, the current outlet flow is reduced, the current flow set value (namely the first target flow set value) is increased, so that the current flow deviation is obviously increased compared with the current flow deviation which is controlled by the flow inner ring only or the temperature outer ring only, the adjustment quantity of the opening degree of the adjusting valve is increased, and the temperature of the electrolytic tank can be returned to the temperature set value as soon as possible.
When the temperature of the electrolytic tank changes in different directions due to the temperature interference factors and the flow interference factors, the flow deviation calculated by the flow inner ring is reduced, so that the flow inner ring can overcome the interference through smaller output, and the temperature control energy consumption can be effectively reduced. When the first target flow set value is equal to the outlet flow, the deviation caused by the two disturbance factors can be counteracted, and the opening of the regulating valve does not need to be changed in the flow inner ring.
S250, judging whether deviation exists between the first target flow set value and the outlet flow or not; if yes, executing S260; if not, then S270 is performed.
S260, executing a flow inner ring control process, and adjusting the operation parameters of the flow control device according to the first target flow set value and the outlet flow.
And S270, not executing the flow inner loop control process.
S280, executing a flow inner ring control process, and adjusting the operation parameters of the flow control device according to the initial flow set value and the outlet flow.
The flow single disturbance state is the condition that flow disturbance factors act on the flow inner ring. When the flow of the circulating cooling liquid pipeline changes, the flow inner ring immediately reacts to adjust.
