Abstract

Renewable energy hydrogen production technology is an effective way to improve the utilization of renewable energy and alleviate the problem of wind and light abandonment. However, there are many challenges in the system structure design and "Source-Load-Storage" coordination control strategy for large-scale, megawatt-scale renewable energy hydrogen production. In this paper, a hybrid wind-solar-energy storage hydrogen production system based on Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) structure is proposed. HOMER software is used to plan and study the storage capacity to achieve long-term power balance and matching of the system. In addition, A decentralized coordinated control energy management system with active power following and state of charge (SOC) recovery capability is proposed and implemented for transient power regulation. An electromagnetic transient simulation was established in PSCAD/EMTDC, and semi-physical experiments were designed using StarSim to verify the effectiveness of the control strategy. Theoretical analysis and experiments show that the island MVDC network with decentralized coordinated control has technical feasibility in realizing hydrogen production from renewable energy in the 20MW level class. In addition, the power consumed by the load can realize the seconds level tracking of the output power of renewable energy.
