Abstract
The new energy hydrogen production system is subject to intermittent fluctuations, which compromise efficiency and equipment lifespan. This study proposes a new dynamic power allocation and control strategy for hybrid hydrogen production systems. By using the Whale Algorithm Optimized Variable Modal Decomposition (WOA-VMD), the fluctuating power of new energy is quantitatively decomposed and reconstructed. Based on a multi-objective optimization function, low-frequency variation components and high-frequency fluctuation components are accurately allocated between alkaline electrolyzers (ALK) and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers (PEM). The strategy effectively improves the source-load balancing capability, reducing the low-frequency fluctuation rate by 60% and reducing the high-frequency power amplitude by 70%, significantly reducing the operational demands on ALK electrolyzers, the capacity requirements of PEM electrolyzers, and the need for energy storage configuration, while also increasing hydrogen production efficiency by 7%. Compared to existing methods, the strategy has a transparent analysis process, strong interpretability, and good data reusability, making it valuable for engineering applications.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
