Abstract

The offshore wind-integrated hydrogen production system is a novel approach to producing green energy carriers and chemicals. Even with the significant environmental benefits of this approach, there are major questions and concerns regarding its safety. Understanding better how operational parameters can promote safer operations is necessary. This paper overcomes key aspects of this gap by developing a novel method to quantify the influence of operational parameters on the formation of hazardous operational environments. Focus is given to the risks associated with gas crossover. The critical operational parameters (e.g., membrane thickness, cathodic pressure, supplied power, and H₂/O₂ recombination constant) have been identified, and their contribution to leading a potential accident scenario is assessed. The proposed method enables monitoring the unsafe operational space—the combination of parameters and their synergistic effect is causing a potential scenario. The proposed method would be an important tool that facilitates remote process control and safe operation.

一种确定海上风力集成电解系统安全运行机制的新方法

海上风力集成制氢系统是一种生产绿色能源载体和化学品的新方法。尽管这种方法具有显著的环境效益，但其安全性仍存在重大问题和担忧。更好地了解操作参数如何促进更安全的操作是必要的。本文通过开发一种新的方法来量化操作参数对危险操作环境形成的影响，从而克服了这一差距的关键方面。重点是与汽油交叉相关的风险。已经确定了关键的操作参数（如膜厚度、阴极压力、供电功率和H2/O2重组常数），并评估了它们对导致潜在事故情景的贡献。所提出的方法能够监测不安全的操作空间-参数的组合及其协同效应正在引起潜在的场景。该方法将成为实现远程过程控制和安全操作的重要工具。
