Description

高效率工業廢氫發電系統與其控制方法High-efficiency industrial waste hydrogen power generation system and control method thereof

本發明係關於一種燃料電池系統,尤指一種運用工業廢氫作為燃料氣體的燃料電池系統。 The present invention relates to a fuel cell system, especially a fuel cell system using industrial waste hydrogen as fuel gas.

在燃料電池系統中,係將氫氣及空氣注入電池堆中,電池堆進行電化學反應,以產生電力。當燃料電池系統搭配其他工業系統使用時,常運用其他工業系統在運作過程中所產生的工業廢氫,來作為現有技術之燃料電池系統的燃料。 In a fuel cell system, hydrogen and air are injected into the stack, and the stack undergoes electrochemical reactions to generate electricity. When the fuel cell system is used in conjunction with other industrial systems, the industrial waste hydrogen generated during the operation of other industrial systems is often used as the fuel for the fuel cell system of the prior art.

在燃料電池系統的設計中,產生電流意味著電化學反應持續進行中,將消耗氫氣來和氧氣進行氧化反應,若缺氫氣而強行要進行氧化反應時,會轉而迫使電池堆中的碳單體觸媒產生氧化逆反應,而造成電池堆的毀損,故必須給予過量的氫氣,以避免電池堆在電化學反應過程中因缺氫而毀損,且給予過量的空氣和氫氣也能確保發電能力充足。但工業廢氫的特性為低純度且供應流量不穩定,因此容易因氫氣供應不穩而導致缺氫,進而使電池堆毀損,再者,也容易因供氫不穩而使得輸出電壓不穩定。 In the design of the fuel cell system, the generation of electric current means that the electrochemical reaction continues, and hydrogen will be consumed to carry out the oxidation reaction with oxygen. The bulk catalyst produces an oxidative reverse reaction, which causes damage to the battery stack, so excess hydrogen must be given to avoid the battery stack being damaged due to lack of hydrogen during the electrochemical reaction process, and giving excess air and hydrogen can also ensure sufficient power generation capacity. . However, the characteristics of industrial waste hydrogen are low purity and unstable supply flow, so it is easy to cause hydrogen deficiency due to unstable hydrogen supply, and then damage the battery stack. Moreover, it is also easy to cause unstable output voltage due to unstable hydrogen supply.

有鑑於此,本發明係解決了因工業廢氫之純度及流量不穩定所帶來之系統問題。 In view of this, the present invention solves the system problems caused by the instability of the purity and flow of industrial waste hydrogen.

為達到上述之發明目的,本發明所採用的技術手段為提供一種燃料電池系統,其包括:一電堆模組,其具有一陽極進氣端、一陽極排氣端、一陰極進氣端、及一陰極排氣端;一燃料進氣組件,其與該電堆模組之陽極進氣端相連接,用以提供燃料氣體進入該電堆模組,並具有一燃料入口感測器;一空氣組件,其與該電堆模組之陰極進氣端及該陰極排氣端相連接,用以提供空氣進入該電堆模組;一燃料排氣組件,其與該電堆模組之陽極排氣端相連接,用以接收該電堆模組反應過後之剩餘燃料氣體,該燃料排氣組件包含有一回流閥,該回流閥連接於該電堆模組之陽極排氣端;一控制單元,其與該電堆模組、該燃料進氣組件、及該燃料排氣組件形成電連接,其中該控制單元執行以下步驟:a.藉由該燃料進氣組件之燃料入口感測器之量測數據,獲得該燃料進氣組件所供應之燃料氣體的氫氣濃度;b.依據所測得之氫氣濃度,決定該電堆模組的操作電壓,使該電堆模組以所決定之操作電壓開始運作;c.判斷所欲排放的剩餘燃料氣體之氫氣濃度; d.依據步驟c所判斷之氫氣濃度,決定所述剩餘燃料氣體是否已達可排放程度;e1.若步驟d中判斷為否時,則將所述剩餘燃料氣體留滯於該電堆模組中、或開啟該回流閥,以將所述剩餘燃料氣體導入該陰極進氣端中、或係將所述剩餘燃料氣體導入一觸媒轉化器中、或係將所述剩餘燃料氣體導回該電堆模組之陽極進氣端中。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical means adopted in the present invention is to provide a fuel cell system, which includes: a stack module, which has an anode intake end, an anode exhaust end, a cathode intake end, and a cathode exhaust end; a fuel intake assembly, which is connected with the anode intake end of the stack module, for providing fuel gas into the stack module, and has a fuel inlet sensor; a an air component, which is connected with the cathode air intake end and the cathode exhaust end of the stack module, and is used to provide air to enter the stack module; a fuel exhaust component, which is connected to the anode of the stack module The exhaust end is connected to receive the residual fuel gas after the reaction of the stack module. The fuel exhaust component includes a return valve, and the return valve is connected to the anode exhaust end of the stack module; a control unit , which forms an electrical connection with the stack module, the fuel intake assembly, and the fuel exhaust assembly, wherein the control unit performs the following steps: a. By the amount of the fuel intake sensor of the fuel intake assembly Measured data to obtain the hydrogen concentration of the fuel gas supplied by the fuel intake assembly; b. According to the measured hydrogen concentration, determine the operating voltage of the stack module, so that the stack module operates at the determined operating voltage Start operation; c. Determine the hydrogen concentration of the remaining fuel gas to be discharged; d. According to the hydrogen concentration determined in step c, determine whether the remaining fuel gas has reached a dischargeable level; e1. If the determination in step d is no, then the remaining fuel gas is retained in the stack module or open the return valve to direct the residual fuel gas into the cathode inlet, or direct the residual fuel gas into a catalytic converter, or direct the residual fuel gas back to the cathode In the anode inlet end of the stack module.

本發明的優點在於,藉由感測進氣之氫氣濃度,來推算電堆模組所適合之操作電壓,以固定電堆模組之操作電壓的方式,來運作電堆模組,則縱使在氫氣濃度驟降的情形下,僅使得輸出電流下降,也代表電堆模組的電化學反應降低,避免消耗電堆模組之結構來進行電化學反應,而達到保護電堆模組的功效,也可讓電堆模組在最大反應效率下產生最大的電能。 The advantage of the present invention is that, by sensing the hydrogen concentration of the intake air, the operating voltage suitable for the stack module is calculated, and the stack module is operated by fixing the operating voltage of the stack module. In the case of a sudden drop in hydrogen concentration, only the output current is reduced, which also means that the electrochemical reaction of the stack module is reduced, avoiding the consumption of the structure of the stack module for electrochemical reaction, and achieving the effect of protecting the stack module. It also allows the stack module to generate the maximum electrical energy at the maximum reaction efficiency.

量測氫氣濃度(S10):當工業廢氫進入該燃料進氣組件20時,藉由該流量計21與燃料入口感測器23之感測數據,來獲得通入儲存槽22中的氫氣濃度。 Measure the hydrogen concentration (S10): when the industrial waste hydrogen enters the fuel intake assembly 20, the hydrogen concentration in the storage tank 22 is obtained by the sensing data of the flow meter 21 and the fuel inlet sensor 23 .

依據氫氣濃度決定電堆模組10的操作電壓(S20):該控制單元60係依據所獲得進入燃料進氣組件20的氫氣濃度,來決定該電堆模組10的操作電壓,使該電堆模組10以所決定的操作電壓開始進行運作。 Determining the operating voltage of the stack module 10 according to the hydrogen concentration ( S20 ): the control unit 60 determines the operating voltage of the stack module 10 according to the obtained hydrogen concentration entering the fuel intake assembly 20 , so that the stack The module 10 starts to operate at the determined operating voltage.

判斷所排放的廢氣之氫氣濃度(S30):電堆模組10經反應後,欲將剩餘燃料氣體經由陽極排氣端12排出,依據該燃料排氣組件50所接收到來自該陽極排氣端12的剩餘燃料氣體,來判斷所欲排放之剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度。在一實施例中,該燃料排氣組件50可包含一燃料出口感測器51,藉由該燃料出口感測器51之感測數據,來獲得該電堆模組10所欲排放之剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度,並回報告知該控制單元60,該燃料出口感測器51可直接偵測氣體之氫氣濃度,或為壓力感測器而透過氣壓變化來推算氫氣濃度;在另一實施例中,該控制單元60係藉由該電堆模組10運作後所產出之電流,來推算該電堆模組10在運作時所消耗的氫氣量,再配合在燃料進氣組件20所量測到的流量和氫氣濃度,進一步估算出所欲排放之剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度;在又一實施例中,該燃料排氣組件50包含所述之燃料出口感測器51,該控制單元60除了接 收來自該燃料出口感測器所獲得的剩餘燃料氣體中之氫氣濃度外,也同樣運用前述量測電流的方式來估算剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度,該控制單元60比對感測值和估算值後,來加以判斷所欲排放之剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度。 Determining the hydrogen concentration of the exhaust gas (S30): After the stack module 10 is reacted, the remaining fuel gas is to be discharged through the anode exhaust end 12, according to the fuel exhaust component 50 received from the anode exhaust end 12 of the remaining fuel gas to determine the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas to be discharged. In one embodiment, the fuel exhaust assembly 50 may include a fuel outlet sensor 51 , and the remaining fuel to be discharged from the stack module 10 can be obtained by sensing data of the fuel outlet sensor 51 . The hydrogen concentration in the gas is reported and notified to the control unit 60. The fuel outlet sensor 51 can directly detect the hydrogen concentration in the gas, or it can be used as a pressure sensor to estimate the hydrogen concentration through changes in air pressure; in another embodiment , the control unit 60 calculates the amount of hydrogen consumed by the stack module 10 during operation by using the current produced by the stack module 10 during operation, and then matches the amount of the fuel intake assembly 20 The measured flow rate and hydrogen concentration further estimate the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas to be discharged; in another embodiment, the fuel exhaust assembly 50 includes the fuel outlet sensor 51, the control unit 60 Except for receiving In addition to receiving the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas obtained from the fuel outlet sensor, the aforementioned method of measuring current is also used to estimate the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas. The control unit 60 compares the sensed value with the estimated value. After the value is determined, the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas to be discharged can be judged.

決定所排放之廢氣是否已達可排放程度(S40):由於剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度若大於標準值,則排放後可能造成系統週邊氫氣濃度過高而有爆炸危險、或造成環境污染等問題,因此,該控制單元60需依據該步驟S30中所判斷的剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度,來決定該剩餘燃料氣體是否達到可排放的程度,若是,則進行步驟S50,若否,則進行步驟S60。 Determining whether the discharged exhaust gas has reached the dischargeable level (S40): If the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas is greater than the standard value, the hydrogen concentration around the system may be too high to cause explosion danger, or cause environmental pollution and other problems after discharge. , therefore, the control unit 60 needs to determine whether the residual fuel gas has reached a dischargeable level according to the hydrogen concentration in the residual fuel gas determined in the step S30, if so, go to the step S50, if not, go to the step S50 S60.

排放廢氣(S50):若該控制單元60判斷剩餘燃料氣體中的氫氣濃度已達標準值,則可開啟該排放閥52,使剩餘燃料氣體向外排放,排放時一併推動電堆模組10中的液態水,以利反應後的水由排水端16排出。在一實施例中,可控制該排放閥52以一特定頻率間歇開啟來排放該剩餘燃料氣體。在一實施例中,該排放閥52之出口端係連接至該加濕器31,該剩餘燃料氣體係通過加濕器31後再向外排放。 Exhaust gas discharge (S50): If the control unit 60 determines that the hydrogen concentration in the remaining fuel gas has reached the standard value, the discharge valve 52 can be opened to discharge the remaining fuel gas to the outside, and the stack module 10 can be pushed together during discharge. In order to facilitate the water after the reaction is discharged from the drainage end 16. In one embodiment, the discharge valve 52 can be controlled to open intermittently at a certain frequency to discharge the remaining fuel gas. In one embodiment, the outlet end of the discharge valve 52 is connected to the humidifier 31 , and the residual fuel gas system passes through the humidifier 31 and then is discharged to the outside.
