    Abstract:Hydrogen energy has broad development prospects as a clean, carbon-free, flexible and efficient secondary energy and industrial raw material. Although the technologies of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, hydrogen storage and hydrogen supply have been relatively mature, the technology chain of hydrogen production-storage-supply is still in its infancy. It is of great importance to explore the technology chain in power system for the cooperative utilization of hydrogen energy and traditional electricity. This paper firstly introduced the basic principles, classifications, advantages and disadvantages of the technologies including hydrogen production by water electrolysis, hydrogen storage and hydrogen supply, and summarized the development of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, hydrogen storage and hydrogen supply technologies in the United States, Japan and the European Union. Then, the current status of above technologies in China was analyzed, and three possible application modes of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, hydrogen storage and hydrogen supply in power system in China were discussed. Finally, based on the current situation, the suggestions for promoting the development of hydrogen production by water electrolysis, hydrogen storage and hydrogen supply in power system in China were put forward, which provide a reference for optimizing the development of the whole technology chain of hydrogen energy production-storage-supply-use.

  • An Efficient Mn-Ir Doped Supported Catalyst for PEM Water Electrolysis AI Introduction

    ZHANG Shuhan, MA Xiaofeng, ZHANG Ruilin, ZHU Yanqun, HE Yong, WANG Zhihua
    Vol. 44, Issue 3, Pages: 340-349(2023) DOI: 10.12096/j.2096-4528.pgt.22184
    Abstract:Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is a green and sustainable method of hydrogen production. The development of efficient and economical electrocatalysts for anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the key to its large-scale commercialization. Iridium oxide catalysts supported by different manganese based oxide carriers (IrOx/Mn8O10Cl3, IrOx/β-MnO2 and IrOx/α-MnO2) were prepared by two-step synthesis method, and the content of iridium is about 55%. Compared with the commercial IrO2 and other noble metal containing electrocatalysts, the synthesized catalysts have lower overpotential and higher current density. The overpotential of IrOx/β-MnO2 is only 228 mV at the current density of 10 mA/cm2. The specific mass activity of IrOx/Mn8O10Cl3 reaches 916.7 A/gIr at 1.53V. The enhancement of OER activity is attributed to the abundant hydroxyl oxygen defects and IrIII species on the catalyst surface. The rich crystalline-amorphous interface provides a large number of active sites for the reaction. The iridium oxide/manganese based oxide catalysts reported in this paper provide new insights for the development of efficient and economical catalysts for acidic OER.

    Abstract:A model of hundred kilowatt proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) combined heat and power system was established in Aspen Plus platform, which was composed of fuel processing unit, heat recovery unit and PEMFC unit. The key equipment model of fuel processing unit was built according to the reaction kinetic parameters, while PEMFC stack adopted the custom model from Aspen Custom Modeler. This paper verified the accuracy of key equipment model and analyzed the effects of operating parameters on system performances under steady-state conditions. The results show that under the operation mode of determining heat by power, the feed of combustion natural gas or the steam-carbon ratio of reforming gas can be appropriately reduced to improve electrical efficiency and exergy efficiency of the system. In addition, the linkage valve on the pipeline from pressure swing adsorption (PSA) to PEMFC can be adjusted to increase the anode inlet pressure of the stack, so as to improve the power generation. However, it is not recommended to increase the cathode inlet pressure of the stack, which will lead to raise of auxiliary equipment power consumption and decline in net power efficiency. When the power is determined by heat, the opposite adjustment method can be adopted, and the exhaust temperature of combustion flue gas and PEMFC tail gas can be reduced to improve the system thermal efficiency. The study results provide reference for adjusting the operation parameters of PEMFC combined heat and power system to achieve appropriate thermo-electric output ratio.

    Abstract:In order to effectively remove CO from hydrogen-rich gas, cobalt-based nano-particle catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry (TG-MS). The effects of nitrogen doping on the self-reduction behavior of the catalyst and CO methanation reaction performance were studied. The characterization results show that the nitrogen atoms introduced into the mesoporous carbon skeleton are mainly used as the nucleation sites of cobalt oxide, which have a strong interaction with the oxide carrier, and greatly improve the dispersion of cobalt species. Thus, small nano-cobalt particles with uniform particle size are formed, which significantly promote self-reduction reaction and thereby improve the reduction degree of the catalyst. The catalyst evaluation results show that, compared with the mesoporous carbon carrier without doping, the CO removal efficiency of the catalyst doped by nitrogen is much higher.

    Abstract:Heavy metal pollution in desulfurization wastewater from coal-fired power plants has huge potential harm to the environment. Among them, the problem of heavy metal ions such as Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cr3+ is particularly prominent. Efficient and targeted removal of relevant heavy metal ions is a huge challenge for wastewater purification. For this reason, sulfur-doped porous carbon materials were prepared by template method to selectively remove heavy metal ions from wastewater with electro-adsorption. The results show that the removal efficiency of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cr3+ in wastewater can still reach 99% after 5 cycles. The electric adsorption experiment was carried out for the actual desulfurization wastewater from a coal-fired power plant in northern China, the mass concentrations of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cr3+ could be effectively reduced to less than 0.2 µg/L. Through structural, morphological and electrochemical characteri-zation, it is found that S/PC3 has excellent ion transport channels (mesoporous ratio is 91.06%) and electrochemical performance (117.3 F/g, 1 A/g). At the same time, the appropriate sulfur doping amount improves the site activity of sulfur-doped carbon materials, and makes the sulfur atoms (Lewis soft base) with heavy metal ions (Lewis soft acid) combine.

    Abstract:The removal efficiency of ammonia in denitrification downstream equipment, concentration and distribution mechanism of ammonia in fly ash and slurry were studied under the condition of high concentration of ammonia escaping from denitrification by selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in coal-fired power plants. Through sampling analysis of 350 MW and 600 MW units, the results show that: the escaping ammonia removal efficiencies of air preheater, electrostatic precipitator and wet desulphurization system are 3.37%-6.63%, 75.14%-83.28% and 36.36%-46.38%, respectively. The ammonia removal efficiencies of these downstream environmental protection equipment are high, and the ammonia concentration at chimney entrance decreases obviously compared with that at denitrification outlet. The ammonia content in fly ash is inversely proportional to the particle size of fly ash. Ammonia concentration in desulfurized flue gas increases with the increase of ammonia concentration in original flue gas. The removal efficiency of ammonia in desulphurization system decreases with the increase of slurry pH value. The results have great significance to the units’ environmental protection and economic running.

    Abstract:In order to obtain the online monitoring information of boiler furnace temperature field in thermal power plant quickly and accurately, a temperature field reconstruction algorithm of acoustic tomography (AT) based on deep neural network (DNN) was proposed. After normalizing the measured values, combined with principal component analysis (PCA) dimension reduction, a fully connected network was constructed to distinguish the peak type. Moreover, DNN and BP neural network were built to predict the normalized slowness value and its maximum value, respectively. Finally, the temperature field distribution was reconstructed. Four typical temperature field models were simulated by using this method. The results show that the reconstruction quality of DNN algorithm is better than that of Tikhonov regularization algorithm and conjugate gradient algorithm. In addition, the average relative error and root mean square error of reconstructed image are less than 0.36% and 0.85% respectively.

    Vol. 44, Issue 3, Pages: 425-430(2023) DOI: 10.12096/j.2096-4528.pgt.21013
    Abstract:The construction of anti-disaster backbone grid is of great significance to enhance the power supply capacity of power system under extreme natural disasters. Comprehensively considering economy and reliability, a planning method for anti-disaster backbone grid was proposed. The economy and reliability of the planning scheme were expressed as the strengthened cost and the benefit from loss reduction in life cycle. The objective function was to maximize the unit benefit from loss reduction of the original grid caused by the unit strengthened cost of backbone grid. Taking the network connectivity and safe operation of power system into account, a planning model for anti-disaster backbone grid was established. The model was solved by the improved crisscross optimization (ICSO) algorithm to find the optimal planning scheme. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by the simulation analysis of the IEEE 30-bus system.
