Description

High-energy-efficiency fuel cell cogeneration device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-energy-efficiency fuel cell cogeneration device based on a methanol reforming hydrogen production technology and a cogeneration method thereof.
Background
Building energy consumption is an important component of energy consumption in China every year, and accounts for 20-30% of the total energy consumption in China. The building energy consumption has various types, but the essence is the requirement for three energy forms of cold, heat and electricity. The traditional building energy system relies on a centralized power supply mode of 'large units and large power grids', and the power transmitted by a power plant through the power grids is converted into cold and hot energy forms through various energy utilization devices, so that the requirements of users on illumination, heating, domestic hot water and the like are met. However, the conventional centralized power supply method has three problems: 1. environmental pollution problems; 2. the power supply safety problem; 3. economic rationality problem. A fuel cell cogeneration device is provided.
The characteristic that a large amount of waste heat is generated in the power generation process of the fuel cell makes the fuel cell very suitable for being used as a heat engine of a cogeneration device. Compared with the traditional heat engine (internal combustion engine, gas turbine, stirling engine, etc.), the fuel cell has higher power generation efficiency, higher fuel utilization rate, lower greenhouse gas emission, smaller volume and lower noise.
Currently, the world's demand for hydrogen comes mainly from natural gas steam reforming and partial oxidation of hydrocarbons. Because of the limitation of the region, availability of hydrocarbon resources and other conditions, partial users cannot adopt the most economical natural gas reforming hydrogen production technology, and instead adopt the electrolytic hydrogen production technology and the methanol hydrogen production technology. The electrolytic hydrogen production cost is high, and the development and the use of the technology are limited. The methanol steam reforming hydrogen production process has the following characteristics: the reaction temperature is relatively low (260-280 ℃), the process condition is mild, and the fuel consumption is low; the unit hydrogen production cost is low; the methanol raw material is easy to obtain, and the transportation and the storage are convenient. And a large amount of waste heat is generated in the self-heating process, so that the device is also very suitable for being used as a hydrogen source of the cogeneration device.
The method for improving the energy efficiency of the fuel cell cogeneration device based on the methanol reforming hydrogen production technology can effectively improve the heat supply capacity and reduce the raw material consumption, and is an ideal way for realizing energy supply of buildings according to requirements.
