Abstract:

In order to advance the application of clean energy in multiple fields and achieve the "dual carbon" target, a wind-solar complementary electricity-alcohol cogeneration system has been proposed. A capacity optimal allocation model for the wind-solar system is established subject to pursue the maximum annual revenue of the electricity-alcohol cogeneration system. Taking the historical data from a wind-solar-hydrogen production base in Inner Mongolia as an example,energy analysis and economic analysis are carried out on the proposed cogeneration system by simulation. The new cogeneration system proposed above can utilize the storage capacity of hydrogen energy after taking optimized configuration and collaborative schedule of wind and solar capacity, ensuring continuous and stable running of methanol synthesis equipment at its minimum load rate of 40% or above. The results show that when the photovoltaic capacity is 25.4 MW, and the wind power capacity is 74.6 MW, the system integrating electricity generation system with alcohol generation system can boost the renewable energy accommodation capacity with a 2.9% decrease in renewable energy curtailment rate. Meanwhile, the annual net income of the new system is 17.73 million yuan, 6.6% higher than that of the system without alcohol generation system. The research provides a feasible technical roadmap for the multi-energy complementation system, with decent economic and environmental benefits.
