Abstract:

An offshore wind-hydrogen system is constituted by an offshore wind farm, a hydrogen energy system and transmission system. It facilitates the realization of the whole-process offshore power clean supply and carbon neutrality by providing electric power and hydrogen to onshore and offshore users. Electrolyzers and fuel cells are the key components of the offshore wind-hydrogen system, and their efficiency and lifetime are closely related to their own working conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to finely simulate them for system operation optimization. Based on the modelling of electrolyzers and fuel cells, an offshore wind-multi-stack hydrogen system operation optimization strategy considering efficiency and service life is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the system operation benefits, shorten the life attenuation of the electrolyzer and fuel cell and smooth the attenuation the stacks.

Key words: integrated energy system, offshore wind-multi-stack hydrogen system, carbon neutrality, electrolyzer, fuel cell, efficiency, life attenuation, balance
