The hydrogen fuel cell system has high power generation efficiency, no noise and no pollution, is an environment-friendly power generation device, and is widely applied to the technical fields of new energy automobiles and the like. In the power generation process of the hydrogen fuel cell system, in order to ensure the purity of hydrogen and prevent water blockage at the anode side, unreacted gas needs to be discharged, and the gas has certain kinetic energy and heat energy, so that energy waste can be caused by direct discharge. Based on this, an off-gas recovery device is provided in a part of the hydrogen fuel cell system to recover the off-gas for use such as power generation or recycling.
At present, a main stream tail gas energy recovery device in a hydrogen fuel cell system adopts a coaxial integration scheme of an electric air compressor and a turbine mechanism, namely, the compressor is coaxially connected with the turbine mechanism, the turbine mechanism can convert tail gas energy discharged by the fuel cell system into mechanical energy, and the mechanical energy is transmitted to the air compressor in a coaxial mode, so that the power consumption of the whole air path system is further saved. However, turbine mechanisms may affect the normal start-up or operating efficiency of the overall fuel cell system under certain specific conditions such as low temperature, low flow rates, etc.
The tail gas energy recovery device of the hydrogen fuel cell system can also adopt a combination scheme of an electric air compressor and a turbocharger, namely, the electric air compressor is connected with a gas circuit of the turbocharger in series, a shafting is in non-coaxial connection, the turbocharger can convert tail gas energy discharged by the fuel cell system into mechanical energy to compress air, and the compressed air is then connected into the electric air compressor in series, so that the load of the electric air compressor is reduced, and the power consumption of the whole air circuit system is further saved. Under the working conditions of low temperature and low flow, the turbocharger can block the air circuit of the fuel cell system, and further the normal starting or working efficiency of the whole fuel cell system can be influenced.
In addition, at present, a part of tail gas energy recovery devices of hydrogen fuel cell systems adopt a combination scheme of an electric air compressor and a turbine generator, namely, circuits of the electric air compressor and the turbine generator are connected in series, shafting of the electric air compressor and the turbine generator is not connected, the turbine generator system can convert tail gas energy discharged by the fuel cell systems into electric energy, and then the electric energy is directly supplied to the electric air compressor system or stored in a storage battery, so that the power consumption of the whole air path system is saved. However, the existing scheme still cannot solve the problems that the turbine mechanism is difficult to start due to low-temperature icing, the idle low-flow system is low in efficiency, the whole system cannot work normally due to failure of the turbine mechanism, and the system is only suitable for a single fuel cell system.

Further, the turbine generator system also includes a controller for rectifying the three-phase alternating current generated by the turbine generator into direct current and delivering the direct current.
Further, the turbine generator system further includes a muffler disposed at the exhaust pipe outlet.
Based on the turbine generator system as described above, a second aspect of the present invention provides an exhaust gas recovery power generation device, comprising:

The turbine generator system is provided with a bypass valve, so that the turbine generator can still ensure that the tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system is discharged smoothly in a non-working state. Specifically, when the fuel cell system is in a low-temperature working condition, the bypass valve is opened to discharge tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system, so that normal cold start is realized, and after the hydrogen fuel cell system finishes a heat engine, the turbine generator can break ice smoothly, and the low-temperature cold start is finished. When the hydrogen fuel cell system operates in an idle speed or low flow working condition and the tail gas energy is insufficient to enable the turbine generator to generate power, the turbine generator can be stopped, the bypass valve is opened to discharge tail gas, power consumption of the turbine generator is avoided, the efficiency of the whole air path system is further improved, and the problem that the turbine mechanism does not recover energy but consumes power when the traditional expander is in the low flow working condition is solved.

Detailed Description
In the following description, the present invention is described with reference to various embodiments. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other alternative and/or additional methods, materials, or components. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the invention. Similarly, for purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. However, the invention is not limited to these specific details. Furthermore, it should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are illustrative representations and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
In embodiments of the present invention, a turbomachine or turbine mechanism refers to a fluid impeller machine, such as a pump, fan, compressor, and the like.
The inventor finds that the main flow of tail gas energy recovery device in the existing hydrogen fuel cell system mainly has the following problems: the turbine mechanism is difficult to start due to low-temperature icing, the idle low-flow system is low in efficiency, and the whole system cannot work normally due to failure of the turbine mechanism, so that the system is only suitable for a single fuel cell system. For example, for the scheme that the air compressor and the turbomachinery are coaxially connected, because the turbine mechanism and the air compressor are coaxial, when the fuel cell system is in a low-temperature working condition, the air compressor cannot be started normally due to the fact that the turbine mechanism is frozen, and further normal starting of the whole fuel cell system is affected, when the fuel cell system is in an idle speed or low-flow working condition, the turbine mechanism and the air compressor keep running at the same rotating speed, the lower flow cannot ensure that the turbine mechanism can effectively recover energy, the turbine mechanism is in a power consumption state, the comprehensive efficiency of the fuel cell system is lower, and when the fuel cell system is in a rated working condition, the air compressor and the turbine mechanism cannot be guaranteed to operate at the optimal rotating speed, the rated efficiency of the air compressor system is lower, and in addition, when the turbine mechanism fails, the turbine mechanism and the air compressor are coaxially connected, the air compressor and the whole fuel cell system cannot work normally. For another example, for the combination scheme of the electric air compressor and the turbocharger, the shafting is not coaxially connected, but because only one air path is connected between the fuel cell system and the turbocharger, air path blockage can be caused under some special working conditions: when the fuel cell system is in a low-temperature working condition, the turbocharger is frozen to cause the blockage of an air path of the fuel cell system, and the electric air compressor cannot normally operate, so that the starting of the whole fuel cell system is affected; when the fuel cell system runs under the working condition of idling or low flow, the low flow cannot ensure that the turbocharger can work normally, and the air path is blocked, so that the negative pressure at the inlet of the electric air compressor is too high, and the performance of the air compressor is reduced; when the turbocharger fails, the turbine cannot normally operate, and an air path is blocked, so that the electric air compressor cannot normally operate. In addition, the turbine mechanism or the turbocharger can only recover the energy of the tail gas of a single system, and when a plurality of systems are combined, a plurality of turbine mechanisms or turbochargers are needed, so that the whole cost is high and the volume is large.
Based on the finding, in order to ensure that the turbine mechanism can normally and efficiently operate under various working conditions, the invention adopts the design that the turbine mechanism is not coaxial with the fuel cell system on one hand, and a bypass valve is further arranged at the air inlet of the turbine mechanism to form a bypass air path so as to avoid the blockage of the air path. Specifically, in the embodiment of the invention, the turbine generator is adopted to recover and generate the tail gas of the fuel cell system, and a bypass valve is arranged at the air inlet pipeline of the turbine generator to form a bypass air path.
The embodiments of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic configuration of a turbine-generator system with a bypass valve according to one embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 1, a turbine generator system with a bypass valve includes a turbine generator 101 and a bypass valve 102. Wherein the bypass valve 102 has a first end in communication with the inlet conduit of the turbine generator 101 and a second end connected to the exhaust pipe for diverting the flow of air entering the turbine generator.
The turbine generator can rotate to generate electricity under the pushing of air, and then three-phase alternating current is generated. In one embodiment of the invention, the three-phase alternating current can be rectified into direct current and then fed into a controller of an air compressor of a single or multiple fuel cell systems to supply power to the air compressor or directly fed into a storage battery for storage. Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, the turbine generator system further comprises a controller 103 for rectifying the three-phase alternating current generated by the turbine generator into direct current and feeding it to the controller or battery of the air compressor.
In an embodiment of the invention, the turbine generator system adopts the tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system to generate electricity, so that the turbine generator can still keep an air path smooth under the non-working state, and the tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system is smoothly discharged. When the turbine generator fails, the bypass valve can be opened to keep the air path smooth, so that the hydrogen fuel cell system can still normally operate, the problem that the reliability of the turbine mechanism applied to the field of fuel cells is low is solved, and the reliability of the whole fuel cell system is greatly improved.
Since the opening of the bypass valve can be controlled as required, in one embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the bypass valve can be further controlled according to the intake air flow rate required by the turbine generator, thereby further improving the power generation efficiency. Based on this, in one embodiment of the present invention, a pressure sensor 104 may also be provided at the air inlet of the turbine generator 101 to monitor the air flow rate into the turbine generator in real time, thereby further precisely controlling the opening of the bypass valve.
In addition, since the tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system is usually a steam-water mixed tail gas with high temperature and high pressure, in order to avoid the problems of insulation failure and bearing rust caused by a large amount of liquid water rushing into the inner cavity of the turbomachine, i.e. the turbine generator, in the electric pile when the fuel cell system is started, in one embodiment of the present invention, the turbine generator system further comprises a water separator 105. The water separator 105 is disposed at an air inlet of the turbine generator 101, and is used for steam-water separation, wherein the air separated by the water separator 105 is directly connected to the turbine generator 101 for generating electricity, and the separated water flows through the bypass valve 102, and is finally discharged together with the air discharged by the turbine generator through the exhaust pipe. Since the turbine generator exhaust end is noisier, in one embodiment of the invention, a muffler 106 may also be provided at the outlet of the exhaust pipe.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an exhaust gas recovery power plant in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, based on the turbine-generator system as described above. As shown in fig. 2, the tail gas recovery power plant includes a hydrogen fuel cell system and a turbine generator system as previously described. The air inlet of the turbine generator is communicated with the tail gas exhaust pipeline of the hydrogen fuel cell system, so that the tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system can be recovered for power generation.
As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, a single turbine generator system may intensively recover the exhaust gas of a plurality of hydrogen fuel cell systems 200, 300, …, N00, that is, the gas inlet of the turbine generator in one turbine generator system may be connected with the exhaust gas exhaust pipes of a plurality of hydrogen fuel cell systems, so that the turbine generator system is applicable to not only a single stack single-path system, but also a multi-stack multi-path system and a multi-system combination scheme, thereby greatly reducing the number of energy recovery devices and reducing the cost and volume.
As shown in fig. 2, the hydrogen fuel cell system includes an intake air filter 201, an intake air flow meter 202, an air compressor controller 203, an air compressor 204, an intercooler 205, a humidifier 206, a stack 207, and a back pressure valve 208. Wherein the air compressor 204 is configured to compress air and further to deliver the compressed air into the stack 207 for sufficient reaction with hydrogen. After the reaction, high-temperature and high-pressure steam-water mixed tail gas is generated, and the tail gas flows into the turbine generator system through the back pressure valve 208. As described above, the electric energy generated by the turbine generator system may be rectified into direct current to supply power to the air compressor 204, so as to realize cyclic utilization, and the remaining electric energy may be stored in the storage battery 000 for standby.
The working flow of the tail gas recovery power generation device is as follows: after the air compressor 204 compresses air to the electric pile 205 and fully reacts with hydrogen, high-temperature and high-pressure steam-water mixed tail gas discharged by a single or a plurality of fuel cell systems is converged together and enters the turbine generator system 100, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam-water mixed tail gas is firstly split by the water splitter 105, the split water flows into a bypass passage where a bypass valve is positioned, the air is directly communicated with the turbine generator 101, a large amount of air pushes the turbine generator 101 to rotate for power generation, three-phase alternating current is rectified into direct current by the turbine generator controller 104 and then is communicated into an air compressor controller 203 of the single or a plurality of fuel cell systems, and the three-phase alternating current supplies power to the air compressor 204 or flows into the storage battery 000; the air recovered by the turbine generator 101 is merged with the separated water, flows through the muffler 106, and is discharged from the exhaust pipe.
The turbine generator system can collect high-temperature and high-pressure tail gas exhausted by a single or a plurality of fuel cell systems and then lead the tail gas into the turbine generator to generate electricity, is not only suitable for a single-stack single-path system, but also suitable for a multi-stack multi-path system and a multi-system combination scheme, greatly reduces the number of energy recovery devices and reduces the cost and the volume.
Due to the arrangement of the bypass valve, when the hydrogen fuel cell system is in a low-temperature working condition, an idle speed or a low-flow working condition, the turbine generator cannot be started normally, and the turbine generator fails in a fault mode, the bypass valve can be opened, tail gas of the hydrogen fuel cell system is discharged through the bypass passage, the smooth gas path is ensured, the hydrogen fuel cell system can still operate, and the problem that the whole fuel cell system fails and stops due to the failure of the turbine mechanism is solved.
Because the turbine generator and the air compressor in the hydrogen fuel cell system are designed as independent shafts, the rotating speed of the turbine generator and the air compressor are completely decoupled when the fuel cell system operates under a normal load working condition, so that the turbine generator and the air compressor can operate to an optimal rotating speed to maximize the recovery power, and the efficiency of the fuel cell system is greatly improved.
