This paper intends to improve the hydrogen production efficiency of the electrolysis cells, fully utilize wind energy, and ensure the reliability of power supply. For this purpose, the authors put forward a capacity optimization configuration for non-grid-connected wind-hydrogen hybrid energy storage system, in view of the features of hydrogen production efficiency. The working interval of the electrolytic cell was optimized by analyzing the said features. Considering the features of battery charge/discharge, equipment capacity and power, the authors formulated the energy management strategy applicable to six working conditions, established the quantitative multi-objective function of system cost and reliability, and solved the optimization model by the fast non-dominant sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA)-II. In this way, the optimal combination of energy storage capacity was determined. Next, the wind velocity data of a pastoral area in Inner Mongolia was measured, and analyzed in details. The analysis results show that the electrolytic cell always operates in the optimal working area, and the optimized wind-hydrogen system is economic and reliable in power supply. The research provides a reference for practical engineering applications.

This study aims to realize continuous, high efficiency defrosting of air-to-air heat pumps using the effect of outdoor warm air recycling, trying to improve the coefficient of performance (COP) and total heat capacity of traditional defrosting methods like hot bypass and Joule heating. The proposed patented method recovers heat from the air change system by mixing the warm discarded air with the incoming air of the external heat exchanger. The fan of the external unit sucks the indoor air with the depression obtained by a Venturi. The warm air is ducted to the Venturi through a hole in the wall. The amount of warm air mixed to the outside air is regulated by a butterfly valve installed on the pipe from the hole to the Venturi. In this way, the air entering the external coil is warm enough to avoid frost. The energy efficiency of the system is assured, for the warm indoor air is heated with the high COP of the heat pump. Our system can achieve defrosting with a limited amount of warm air, and realize a higher overall COP than the best traditional defrosting systems. Finally, the defrosting device can be added as an option to any existing split systems.
