    Abstract:

    The utilization of a new energy hydrogen production system is an effective approach to enhance the absorption capacity of renewable energies such as wind and solar power. The current research on energy management of electrolyzer, both domestically and internationally, primarily focuses on single-electrolyzer. The energy management of single-electrolyzer fails to account for the nonlinearity in its operational characteristics, thereby posing challenges in considering the hydrogen production efficiency of multi-electrolyzers and its impact on system economics. The present study focuses on the energy management of a novel hydrogen production system incorporating multi-electrolyzers. The energy management optimization model incorporates wind power, photovoltaic systems, batteries, and multiple electrolyzers to achieve targets for new energy consumption rate, economic income, and hydrogen production rate. Taking into account the operational characteristics of a single electrolyzer and production constraints, the multi-objective optimization problem is solved by strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm 2 (SPEA2). The simulation research demonstrates that the proposed energy management strategy can achieve a 100% absorption rate of newly generated power from renewable sources, while simultaneously increasing the hydrogen production efficiency per unit by 5.15%. The effective management of energy in a multi-electrolyzers hydrogen production system is crucial for enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen production and effectively addressing the limitations associated with single-electrolyzer operation and energy management.
