It is conceivable that the second power conversion device 70 may be implemented by a DC/DC converter in a case where the hydrogen generation power source 10 is a direct current power source such as a photovoltaic module. Accordingly, in the case that the hydrogen-producing power supply 10 is an AC power supply, the second power conversion device 70 needs to be implemented by an AC/DC converter.

The hydrogen storage tank 30 is connected with a hydrogen gas outlet of the electrolytic cell 20 and is used for storing hydrogen gas generated by electrolysis. The liquid replenishing device 40 and the heat-preserving tank 50 are both used for storing electrolyte, and the difference between the two is that the liquid replenishing device 40 is used for storing the electrolyte at normal temperature or unused, and the heat-preserving tank 50 is a newly added component on the basis of the existing hydrogen production system, and is mainly used for storing the electrolyte with higher temperature in the electrolytic cell 20.

Based on the above, the embodiment of the present invention provides a hydrogen production electrolyte temperature control method, which is applied to the hydrogen production system provided in any of the above embodiments, and is specifically applied to a hydrogen production controller in the hydrogen production system, and of course, in some cases, the method may also be applied to a server on a network side.

Referring to fig. 3, a flow of a hydrogen production electrolyte temperature control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention may include:

s100, obtaining the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell.

As mentioned above, before hydrogen production by electrolysis, the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell needs to be heated to a preset temperature range, in order to obtain the temperature of the electrolyte, a temperature acquisition device, such as a temperature sensor, is disposed in the electrolytic cell, and when the control method provided by this embodiment is applied, the current temperature of the electrolyte can be directly obtained by the temperature acquisition device in the electrolytic cell.

S110, judging whether the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is not within a preset temperature range, if so, executing S120.

And after the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is obtained, judging whether the current temperature of the electrolyte is within a preset temperature range. It is conceivable that the preset temperature range mentioned in this embodiment is set based on the basic requirement for the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic hydrogen production process and the operating environment of the hydrogen production system, and the specific value of the preset temperature range is not limited in the present invention.

If the current temperature of the electrolyte is not within the preset temperature range, S120 is executed, and if the current temperature of the electrolyte is within the preset temperature range, it is indicated that the electrolyte meets the hydrogen production requirement, hydrogen production can be immediately started, and the specific hydrogen production control process can be implemented by combining with the prior art, which is not described herein again.

And S120, controlling the heat preservation tank and the liquid supplementing device to adjust the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell.

As mentioned above, the temperature of the electrolyte in the heat-preserving tank in the hydrogen production system is higher than the temperature of the electrolyte in the liquid supplementing device, under the condition that the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is not within the preset temperature range, the electrolyte with different temperatures can be released into the electrolytic cell through the heat-preserving tank and the liquid supplementing device, the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is adjusted by utilizing the heat exchange among the electrolytes with different temperatures, and the purpose of changing the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is further achieved.

It is conceivable that the current temperature of the electrolyte is not within the preset temperature range, and there are two cases, one of which is that the current temperature is higher than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, and the other is that the current temperature is lower than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range.

Under the condition that the current temperature of the electrolyte is higher than the upper limit value of the preset temperature range, the insulation tank is controlled to store the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, namely the electrolyte with higher temperature is stored in the insulation tank. The concrete realization that can include, for example, the holding tank is provided with inlet and liquid outlet, and the inlet that here needs control holding tank is opened, monitors the residual capacity of holding tank simultaneously to under the residual capacity of holding tank reached the condition of predetermineeing safe threshold value, the inlet of control holding tank is closed, prevents to press too high in the holding tank, influences the operation security. Wherein, for the setting of presetting safe threshold, can combine the concrete parameter and the actual conditions of holding tank to confirm.

Furthermore, the liquid inlet of the control heat-preserving tank can be opened, the liquid level of the electrolyte in the heat-preserving tank is monitored while the high-temperature electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is stored, and when the liquid level of the electrolyte in the heat-preserving tank reaches a preset liquid level threshold value, the liquid inlet of the control heat-preserving tank is closed.

Furthermore, after the heat preservation tank is controlled to store the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, the electrolyte supplementing device is controlled to release the electrolyte into the electrolytic cell, and the temperature of the electrolyte provided by the electrolyte supplementing device is lower than the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell and the heat preservation tank, so that the purpose of reducing the overall temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell can be achieved.

It should be noted that, as for the opening sequence of the liquid inlet of the heat preservation tank and the liquid supplementing device, other options are available, for example, the two are started simultaneously, or the liquid supplementing device is firstly opened to cool the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and then the liquid storage tank is opened to store the electrolyte with a temperature not particularly high, which is also feasible. In specific application, the actual temperature and the actual capacity of the electrolyte in the heat-preservation tank, the liquid supplementing device and the electrolytic cell need to be combined for determination, and the temperature and the capacity of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell are also within the protection scope of the invention on the premise of not exceeding the core thought scope of the invention.

Optionally, high temperature electrolyte in the electrolysis trough is stored through the heat preservation jar, the fluid infusion device releases low temperature electrolyte to the electrolysis trough in, can reduce the average temperature of electrolyte in the electrolysis trough to a certain extent, however, if store up at the heat preservation jar full and the electrolyte in the electrolysis trough reaches under the condition of predetermineeing the capacity threshold value, the temperature of electrolyte in the electrolysis trough still is not in predetermineeing the temperature range, it has been difficult to adjust the electrolyte temperature to explain the cooperation through heat preservation jar and fluid infusion device, under this kind of condition, can send the too high warning information of sign electrolyte temperature, in order to remind fortune dimension personnel to participate in the control.

Correspondingly, under the condition that the current temperature of the electrolyte is lower than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range, the heat-preservation tank needs to be controlled to release the high-temperature electrolyte into the electrolytic cell, and meanwhile, the liquid supplementing device is maintained in a closed state, so that the average temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is improved through the high-temperature electrolyte provided by the heat-preservation tank.

It should be particularly noted that the capacity of the electrolytic cell is limited, which corresponds to a preset capacity range meeting normal working requirements, and when the insulation tank and the liquid replenishing device are controlled to adjust the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, it is also required to ensure that the capacity in the electrolytic cell is within the preset capacity range, therefore, the control method provided by the embodiment of the invention can also monitor the current capacity of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and control the insulation tank and the liquid replenishing device to adjust the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell on the premise that the current capacity of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is within the preset capacity range.

In summary, according to the hydrogen production electrolyte temperature control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, when the current temperature of the electrolyte is not within the preset temperature range, the temperature of the electrolyte in the thermal insulation tank and the electrolyte supplementing device are controlled to adjust the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell, and since the temperature of the electrolyte in the thermal insulation tank is higher than the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolyte supplementing device, the average temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell can be increased through the cooperation of the two devices, so that the electric energy required for heating the electrolyte to the preset temperature range is reduced, meanwhile, the heating time is shortened, and the hydrogen production efficiency is improved.

Optionally, referring to fig. 4, in a case that the hydrogen production system is provided with a heating device, another temperature control method is further provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the temperature control method provided in this embodiment further includes:

s130, judging whether the release of the electrolyte stored in the heat preservation tank is finished or not, or whether the capacity of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell reaches a preset capacity threshold value or not, and if so, executing S140.

In the whole process of the embodiment, the temperature control method provided by the embodiment is mainly applied to the case that the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is lower than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range, and in this case, the heat-preservation tank is controlled to release the high-temperature electrolyte to the electrolytic cell, and the liquid supplementing device is in a closed state. If the release of the electrolyte in the heat preservation tank is finished, or the capacity of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell reaches a preset capacity threshold value, it indicates that the high-temperature electrolyte cannot be continuously released into the electrolytic cell, and then S140 is further executed; on the contrary, if the electrolyte in the heat preservation tank is not released completely and the electrolytic cell can also contain more electrolyte, the heat preservation tank is controlled to release the electrolyte to the electrolytic cell continuously.

S140, judging whether the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is not within a preset temperature range, if so, executing S150.

Under the condition that high-temperature electrolyte cannot be continuously released to the electrolytic cell, judging whether the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is still not within a preset temperature range, if so, executing S150; on the contrary, if the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is within the preset temperature range after the adjustment of the heat-preserving tank, the hydrogen production process can be directly started.

S150, controlling the heating device to heat the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell until the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is within a preset temperature range.

If the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is not within the preset temperature range through the adjustment of the heat preservation tank, specifically, the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is still lower than the lower limit value of the preset temperature range, the heating device is controlled to heat the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell until the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is within the preset temperature range.

In summary, according to the temperature control method provided by this embodiment, on the premise that the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell is adjusted by the heat-preserving tank and the liquid replenishing device, the temperature of the electrolyte can be further adjusted by the heating device, and the hydrogen production process can be effectively ensured to be smoothly performed. Moreover, if the hydrogen production power supply is realized by a photovoltaic module, the electric energy required by the heating device for heating the electrolyte can be directly provided by the photovoltaic module, and compared with the mode that the heating device directly takes electricity from an alternating current power grid in the prior art, the utilization rate of the electric energy output by the photovoltaic module can be improved, and meanwhile, the consumption of the electric energy of the power grid can be further reduced.

Optionally, if the hydrogen production power supply is implemented by using a photovoltaic module, considering that the photovoltaic module outputs electric power only in the daytime, therefore, before hydrogen production starts, especially in the process from the last natural day to the current natural day, it is necessary to determine whether hydrogen production can start, based on which, the foregoing step S100 may be further refined into an optional implementation process shown in fig. 5:

s1001, obtaining target operation parameters of the hydrogen production system.

The target operation parameters mainly refer to parameters affecting the hydrogen production process of the hydrogen production system, for example, under the condition that the hydrogen production power source adopts a photovoltaic module, the output power of the photovoltaic module affects important parameters affecting the hydrogen production process. It is conceivable that the photovoltaic module outputs electric power only during the daytime as described above, and therefore, whether the current time is during the daytime may be the target operating parameter, but considering that the output power of the photovoltaic module may be insufficient to drive the hydrogen production process even during the daytime, it is more direct and accurate to use the output power of the photovoltaic module as the target operating parameter.

The specific configuration of the hydrogen production system varies, and the selection of target operating parameters may vary, and fall within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the core concept of the present invention.

And S1002, judging whether the target operation parameters meet preset starting conditions, and if so, executing S1003.

Based on the above, if the target operation parameter is the output power of the hydrogen production power supply in the hydrogen production system, judging whether the duration of the output power of the hydrogen production power supply being greater than the preset power threshold is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold, and if the duration is greater than the preset duration threshold, determining that the preset starting condition is met; on the contrary, if the output power of the hydrogen production power supply is less than or equal to the preset power threshold, or the duration is less than the preset duration threshold, it is determined that the preset starting condition is not met.

The selection of the preset power threshold and the preset duration threshold needs to be determined by combining specific parameters of the hydrogen production system and the operating environment, and specific values of the two are not limited in the invention.

S1003, obtaining the current temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell.

Optionally, the execution process of S1003 may refer to the foregoing, and will not be repeated here.

Optionally, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the hydrogen production electrolyte temperature control method provided by the present invention may further include: and obtaining a shutdown instruction, controlling the heat-preservation tank to store the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell according to the obtained shutdown instruction, storing high-temperature electrolyte through the heat-preservation tank, and adjusting the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolytic cell when the next hydrogen production cycle begins. Of course, this step is performed on the premise that the insulating tank still has a remaining space for storing the electrolyte at a high temperature.
