Abstract

The new electric power systems based on new energy is a power system that is supported by source-grid-load-storage interaction and multi-energy complementarity, in order to reduce the carbon emission level of the new electric power systems, it is necessary to change the existing energy structure of the system through different energy carriers. Through technology comparison and analysis, seawater in-situ electrolysis hydrogen production technology can make full use of offshore renewable energy, which can effectively reduce the production cost of hydrogen production by electrolysis. With the development and industrial application of the third-generation low-energy phase change absorber, the technology of carbon dioxide capture by phase change solvent has great application prospects. The industrial application of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol can rely on the existing mature C1 chemical system, and the new carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol device can improve the effective utilization rate of carbon dioxide and reduce the emission of tail gas. On this basis, the application scheme of carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol technology in the new power system is proposed: centered on the power grid, renewable energy is used to generate electricity, and part of the electricity is sent to the grid; part of the electricity is sent to the seawater in-situ electrolysis hydrogen production unit to produce hydrogen; the main product hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen storage equipment, and the by-product oxygen is used comprehensively; the carbon dioxide generated in the process of fossil fuel power generation is captured by phase change solvent, and then the new carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol device is used to synthesize carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol under the action of catalyst, part of the methanol is converted into hydrogen by cracking and stored, and the other part of methanol is directly used as the fuel of internal combustion power locomotives, when the power output of the grid is insufficient, methanol can be used as fuel for internal combustion generators, which are used to generate electricity and sent to the grid, and the stored hydrogen can also be used as fuel for hydrogen fuel cells, which are used to generate electricity and sent to the grid.
