However, the power converter of the power supply and load interface is one of the necessary devices in the electrolytic water hydrogen production control cabinet. In addition to the important characteristic of high conversion step-down ratio for handling high voltage current, the DC/DC converter connected with the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment has low output current ripple, which is a problem faced by the converter in the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment. The output current ripple must be as low as possible to improve the reliability of the plant for hydrogen production from the point of view of efficiency and hydrogen production.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
In the prior art, the power voltage generated by renewable energy sources is too high compared with the power supply voltage of water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment, and the power voltage cannot be directly used for the hydrogen production action of a PEM water electrolysis device. Therefore, the existing solution is to reduce the switching frequency to improve the efficiency, and although the loss of the switch can be reduced to some extent by this method, the output voltage ripple and ripple current will be increased accordingly. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, when the output voltage of the water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment is 8V, the corresponding output current is 29.432a, and the output current and the output voltage of the water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment within a certain time period are intercepted, so that the output voltage and the output current of the water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment from 4s to 4.0004s can oscillate periodically, that is, ripple current and ripple voltage occur. However, the power converter of the power supply and load interface is one of the necessary devices in the electrolytic water hydrogen production control cabinet. In addition to the important characteristic of high conversion step-down ratio for handling high voltage current, the DC/DC converter connected with the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment has low output current ripple, which is a problem faced by the converter in the PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment. The output current ripple and the voltage ripple must be as low as possible to improve the reliability of the plant for hydrogen production from the point of view of efficiency and hydrogen production.
Example one
A first embodiment of the present invention provides a voltage step-down module, as shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, including: a switching power supply 1, a first branch 2 and a second branch 3.
As shown in fig. 3, the switching power supply 1 may be configured to receive a switching signal, and then the first branch 2 is electrically connected to the switching power supply 1 and the load, the second branch 3 is electrically connected to the switching power supply 1 and the load, and the switching power supply 1 is configured to continuously switch between a first switching state and a second switching state according to the received switching signal with a preset duty ratio.
As shown in fig. 5, the first branch 2 is electrically connected to the switching power supply 1 and the load, respectively, and the second branch 3 is also electrically connected to the switching power supply 1 and the load, respectively.
In practical application, the load is the water electrolysis hydrogen production load 4, and meanwhile, the switching power supply 1 of the voltage reduction module of the embodiment can be in communication connection with a control module (not marked in the figure) of the hydrogen production equipment, so that the switching power supply 1 can be continuously switched between a first switching state and a second switching state according to a switching signal sent by the control module with a preset duty ratio.
And, when the switching power supply 1 is switched to the first switching state according to the switching signal, as shown in fig. 3, the switching power supply 1, the first branch 2 and the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4 may form a first loop, and at the same time, the second branch 3 and the switching power supply 1 form a second loop electrically connected to the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4. When the switching power supply 1 is switched to the second switching state according to the switching signal, as shown in fig. 4, the first branch 2 and the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4 form a third loop, and simultaneously, the switching power supply 1 and the second branch 3 form a fourth loop electrically connected to the first branch 2 and the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4, respectively. In the present embodiment, the ripple currents generated in the first branch 2 and the second branch 3 have the same amplitude but have opposite phases. Therefore, no matter how the duty ratio of the switching power supply 1 of the voltage reduction module of the embodiment is, the amplitude of the ripple current generated by the first branch 2 and the second branch 3 is equal, and the phases are opposite, so that the current supplied to the water electrolysis hydrogen production load 4 can be made to well eliminate the ripple in the current, and the reliability of the water electrolysis hydrogen production load 4 in hydrogen production can be effectively improved.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the switching power supply 1 includes: a power supply 11, a first switching unit 12, a second switching unit 13, a third switching unit 14, and a fourth switching unit 15. As shown in fig. 5, the power supply 11 includes a positive electrode line 111 and a negative electrode line 112 electrically connected to the hydrogen production load 4 by electrolysis of water. One end of the first switching unit 12 and one end of the second switching unit 13 are connected in series with each other, and the other end of the first switching unit 12 is connected in parallel to the positive line 111 of the power supply 11. Meanwhile, the other end of the second switching unit 13 is connected in parallel to the negative electrode line 112 of the power supply 11.
In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, one end of the third switching unit 14 and one end of the fourth switching unit 15 are connected in series with each other. Meanwhile, the other end of the third switching unit 14 is connected in parallel to the positive line 111 of the power supply 11, and the other end of the fourth switching unit 15 is connected in parallel to the negative line 112 of the power supply 11.

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the switching states of the first switching unit 12 and the fourth switching unit 15 are the same, and the switching states of the second switching unit 13 and the third switching unit 14 are the same. In actual operation, when the first switching unit 12 and the fourth switching unit 15 are in the on state, the second switching unit 13 and the third switching unit 14 are in the off state. On the contrary, when the first switching unit 12 and the fourth switching unit 15 are in the off state, the second switching unit 13 and the third switching unit 14 are in the on state. In the present embodiment, the state in which the first switching unit 12 and the fourth switching unit 15 are turned on is the first switching state, and the state in which the second switching unit 13 and the third switching unit 14 are turned on is the second switching state.
In addition, in order to be able to make the first and second circuits formable in a state where the first and fourth switching units 12 and 15 are in the passage, and to be able to make the third and fourth circuits formable in a state where the second and third switching units 13 and 14 are in the passage, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the first switching unit 12 includes: a first switch 121 and a first diode 122, and the second switching unit 13 includes: a second switch 131 and a second diode 132. As shown in fig. 5, one end of the first switch 121 and one end of the first diode 122 are both connected in parallel to the positive line 111 of the power source 11, one end of the second switch 131 and one end of the second diode 132 are both connected in parallel to the negative line 112 of the power source 11, the other end of the first switch 121 is connected in series with the other end of the second switch 131, and the other end of the first diode 122 is connected in series with the other end of the second diode 132. In addition, as shown in fig. 5, one end of the second arm 3 is connected in parallel to the series line of the first switch 121 and the second switch 131, and to the series line of the first diode 122 and the second diode 132.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the second arm 3 includes: a second resistor 31, a second inductor 32 and a second capacitor 33 connected in series in sequence. One end of the second resistor 31 is connected in parallel to the series line of the first switch 121 and the second switch 131 and to the series line of the first diode 122 and the second diode 132, and one end of the second capacitor 33 is connected in parallel to the negative electrode line 112 of the power source 11.
In addition, as shown in fig. 5, the third switching unit 14 includes: a third switch 141 and a third diode 142, and the fourth switching unit 15 includes: a fourth switch 151 and a fourth diode 152. One end of the third switch 141 and one end of the third diode 142 are both connected in parallel to the positive line 111 of the power source 11, and one end of the fourth switch 151 and one end of the fourth diode 152 are both connected in parallel to the negative line 112 of the power source 11. And the other terminal of the third switch 141 is connected in series with the other terminal of the fourth switch 151, and the other terminal of the third diode 142 is connected in series with the other terminal of the fourth diode 152. In addition, as shown in fig. 5, one end of the first branch 2 is connected in parallel to the series line of the third switch 141 and the fourth switch 151, and to the series line of the third diode 142 and the fourth diode 152.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the first branch 2 includes: a first resistor 21 and a first inductor 22 connected in series. Wherein, one end of the first resistor 21 is connected in parallel to the line of the third switch 141 and the fourth switch 151 in series and connected in parallel to the series line of the third diode 142 and the fourth diode 152, and one end of the first inductor 22 is electrically connected to the hydrogen production load 4 by electrolyzing water.
As can be seen from the above description, when the first switch unit 12 and the fourth switch unit 15 are in the on state and the second switch unit 13 and the third switch unit 14 are in the off state, that is, the first switch 121 and the fourth switch 151 are closed, and the second switch 131 and the third switch 141 are opened, as shown in fig. 3, the switching power supply 1, the first resistor 21, the first inductor 22 and the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4 may form a first loop, and at the same time, the switching power supply 1, the second resistor 31, the second inductor 32 and the second capacitor 33 form a second loop electrically connected to the hydrogen production from electrolyzed water load 4. At this time, as can be seen from fig. 3, on the one hand, in the first circuit, i.e., on the primary side, the first inductor 22 passes through both the whole DC direct current required by the load 4 for hydrogen production from electrolyzed water, and at the same time, a part of the low-voltage AC alternating current passes through, at this time, the output voltage D being the input voltage, where D is the duration of time when the first switch 121 and the fourth switch 151 are engaged in one pulse period, and, as shown in fig. 6, at this time, in the first circuit, the alternating current passing through the first branch 2 exhibits the same triangular waveform as that of the conventional Buck converter, and on the other hand, in the second circuit, since the DC component is blocked by the second capacitor 33, only a part of the alternating AC current may pass through the second inductor 32, as shown in fig. 7, so that the alternating current passing through the second branch 3 exhibits a triangular waveform completely opposite phase to the triangular waveform of the alternating current passing through the first branch 2, i.e. the phases of the alternating currents flowing through the two branches are offset from each other by 180 deg., so that the alternating currents flowing through the two branches are complementary to each other in an antisymmetric manner, so that the ripples in the two alternating currents cancel each other out, and thus the ripples in the output current can be well eliminated. For example, in the process of increasing the voltage from 6V to 8V, as shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the output current of the first branch 2 and the output current and output voltage of the whole voltage reduction module will rapidly rise, at the same time, as shown in fig. 11, the output current of the second branch 3 will generate a certain ripple current, and when the voltage is stabilized at 8V, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, although both the first branch 2 and the second branch 3 will generate the ripple current, the phase of the triangular waveform of the alternating current flowing through the second branch 3 is completely opposite to the phase of the triangular waveform of the alternating current flowing through the first branch 2, so that the ripple current and the ripple voltage are effectively eliminated, and as shown in fig. 11, the output voltage of the voltage reduction module is substantially flat, so that the reliability of the hydrogen production by electrolysis load 4 during hydrogen production can be effectively improved.
And when the first switch unit 12 and the fourth switch unit 15 are in an open circuit state and the second switch unit 13 and the third switch unit 14 are in a closed circuit state, that is, the first switch 121 and the fourth switch 151 are turned off, and the second switch 131 and the third switch 141 are closed, as shown in fig. 4, the first resistor 21, the first inductor 22 and the electrolyzed water hydrogen production load 4 form a third loop, and simultaneously, the switching power supply 1, the second resistor 31, the second inductor 32 and the third capacitor 33 form a fourth loop electrically connected with the first branch 2 and the electrolyzed water hydrogen production load 4, respectively. At this time, the output voltage (i.e. the input voltage × (1-D) —) is the voltage across the second capacitor 33, where 1-D is the duration of the second switch 131 and the third switch 141 during one pulse cycle, as can be seen from fig. 4, on the one hand, the DC current provided by the power supply is blocked by the second capacitor 33, so that only a part of the AC current can pass through the second inductor 32, and another part of the AC current can pass through the first inductor 22, and at this time, the two AC currents flowing through the first inductor 11 and the second inductor 32 are also shifted by 180 ° from each other, so that in the state, the two AC currents can be made to complement each other in an antisymmetric manner, so that the ripples in the two AC currents can be cancelled out, and the ripples in the output current can be eliminated well. For example, in the process of increasing the voltage from 6V to 8V, as shown in fig. 8, 9 and 10, the output current of the first branch 2 and the output current and the output voltage of the whole buck module rapidly rise, and at the same time, as shown in fig. 11, the output current of the second branch 3 generates a certain ripple current, while when the voltage is stabilized at 8V, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, although both the first branch 2 and the second branch 3 generate the ripple current, the phase of the triangular waveform of the alternating current flowing through the second branch 3 is completely opposite to the phase of the triangular waveform of the alternating current flowing through the first branch 2, so that the ripple current and the ripple voltage are effectively eliminated. As shown in fig. 11, the output voltage of the voltage reduction module is substantially flat, so that the reliability of the load 4 for hydrogen production by water electrolysis can be effectively improved.
As can be seen from the above description, the voltage reduction module of the present embodiment can effectively eliminate the ripple in the output current regardless of the duty ratio of the first switch 121, the second switch 131, the third switch 141, and the fourth switch 151.
Meanwhile, in order to enable the first switch unit 12, the second switch unit 13, the third switch unit 14, and the fourth switch unit 15 to be switched according to the switch signal, in the present embodiment, the first switch 121 has a first signal receiving end, the second switch 131 has a second signal receiving end, the third switch 141 has a third signal receiving end, and the fourth switch 151 has a fourth signal receiving end. Therefore, in practical applications, the first switch 121, the second switch 131, the third switch 141, and the fourth switch 151 may receive the switching signal through their respective signal receiving terminals, so as to switch the switching states.
In addition, as a preferable scheme, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the second branch 3 further includes: a first capacitor 34, and the first capacitor 34 is connected in series between the second capacitor 33 and the negative electrode line 112 of the power supply 11. By means of the first capacitor 34, when the second branch 3 fails, that is, when the second inductor 32 and the second capacitor 33 fail, the second capacitor 33, the second inductor 32, the second switch 131 and the third switch 141 are interrupted, and at this time, the first capacitor 34 operates in a manner similar to a standard Buck converter, and the current ripple in the load 4 for producing hydrogen by electrolyzing water can be effectively eliminated through the first capacitor 34.
Example two
A second embodiment of the present invention provides a pure water electrolytic hydrogen production system, as shown in fig. 12, including: a hydrogen production load 4 by water electrolysis, a control unit 5, and a voltage reduction module as described in the first embodiment.
As shown in fig. 12, the switching power supply 1 of the voltage reduction module is configured to be electrically connected to a power supply device 6 that generates renewable energy, and meanwhile, the switching power supply 1 is further connected to a control unit 5 in a communication manner, and the control unit 5 may be configured to send a switching signal to the switching power supply 1. And a first branch 2 and a second branch 3 of the voltage reduction module are respectively and electrically connected with a water electrolysis hydrogen production load 4.
It can be seen from the above that, when the voltage reduction module according to the present embodiment is used for outputting a low current, the switching signal sent by the control unit 5 may be received by the switching power supply 1, and by means of the switching signal, the switching power supply 1 may be continuously switched between the first switching state and the second switching state at a preset duty ratio, however, two current ripples with equal amplitudes and opposite phases may be generated due to the first branch 2 and the second branch 3 in the voltage reduction module. Therefore, the current supplied to the hydrogen production by electrolysis load 4 can be made to be the same regardless of the duty ratio of the switching power supply 1, and the ripple in the current can be well eliminated, thereby improving the reliability of the pure water hydrogen production by electrolysis system during hydrogen production.
