Research on Low Voltage Ride through and Reactive Power Support of Hydrogen Production Power Supply

Hydrogen energy, a type of green secondary energy, has attracted much attention in recent years. The production of hydrogen by water electrolysis is less harmful to the environment and makes it possible to obtain hydrogen with a high degree of purity. But it requires a lot of electricity and is expensive. Installed capacity and the share of electricity generation from new energy sources have increased recently. The "double high" trend in the power system is becoming apparent. The combination of new energy power generation and hydrogen production by water electrolysis can not only promote the absorption of new energy power generation, but also reduce the cost of hydrogen production. The conventional thyristor power supply system for hydrogen production has low power factor and poor harmonic performance, which cannot meet the requirements of the new power system. Hydrogen production power supply based on fully controlled devices is gradually becoming mainstream. In this paper, the low voltage ride through capability and the reactive power support function for the power grid of hydrogen production power supply based on fully controlled devices are verified by simulation. For both symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, the hydrogen production power supply can ride through the fault.
