Debate
The possible use range of hydrogen energy, under what conditions can it be used in large quantities? What problems still need to be solved?
Zhang Jinying: Hydrogen energy can be used in all places where energy is needed, including scenarios where electric energy, mechanical energy or natural gas are used, but there are two prerequisites for it to be used in large quantities: high safety performance and low cost. The problem to be solved at present is the safety performance of gray hydrogen during storage and transportation and the cost of storage and transportation. If these two problems can be solved, then hydrogen energy will be likely to be used in large quantities.
Zhi Linjie: Hydrogen energy can be used in a very wide range. In theory, hydrogen energy can be used wherever energy is needed. However, hydrogen energy has not yet entered the stage of large-scale use. Convenience and safety are the prerequisites for the large-scale use of hydrogen energy in the future, and relevant research should be carried out around this issue now.
Yang Chuang: Hydrogen energy is one of the important directions for the development of green energy, and it is also a direction supported by the state. At present, the safety of hydrogen energy use and storage and transportation are the most important factors restricting it. Hydrogen energy has not yet been used on a large scale, and solving the problems of hydrogen energy safety and ease of use will play a key role in the development of hydrogen energy.
Why should we vigorously develop energy storage technology and industry? What are the advantages and disadvantages of electrochemical energy storage? What is the relationship between energy storage and AI?
Zhi Linjie: Energy storage is an important industry that is vigorously promoted in China at present, and the development of energy storage technology is closely related to the country's new energy strategy. Common energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy are indirect rather than continuous, while the power grid requires stable input and output, and energy storage power stations can better resolve this contradiction. The immaturity of early energy storage technology led to the emergence of a large number of new energy curtailment, and the use of large-scale energy storage technology can significantly improve the stability and management level of the power grid, which is an important means to realize the large-scale application of new energy. Among the fast energy storage methods for new energy sources, electrochemical energy storage is currently the most commonly used fast energy storage method, but its cost is still high, and further cost reduction is needed. Energy storage technology can also be widely used in the field of AI, such as immobilized scenarios such as emergency reserve power supplies and mobile scenarios such as UAV energy storage.
Zhang Jinying: When the energy output does not match the consumption, energy storage technology is necessary. Electrochemical energy storage technology has the advantages of safety and high efficiency, but recycling energy storage batteries is still an important issue, and environmental protection and pollution-free recycling need to be considered. In energy storage fields such as mobile device energy storage and power grid dispatching, if the unique advantages of AI technology, such as precision, efficiency, intelligence and security, are combined, it will be possible to better observe and regulate new energy.
Yang Chuang: Electric power resources are an indispensable resource for social development, and when power resources or regions do not match, energy storage technology is needed as a support to better achieve the overall balance of electric energy. Electrochemical energy storage technology has many advantages. At present, safety and environmental protection issues are still the key points to be solved, and the market space is still very broad. AI plays an important role in the field of energy storage and can be used in many aspects such as data processing, technology iteration, product design, production management, and resource allocation to improve work efficiency and resource utilization. In the intelligent digital transformation of enterprises, it is also very necessary to integrate the entire product development and production process into the system control of artificial intelligence.
What problems still need to be solved in the application of aluminum air fuel cell? How does AI help in various battery development processes and enterprise digital transformation?
Yang Chuang: At present, if the aluminum-air fuel cell is to be applied on a large scale, the main factors that can be put into use include the efficiency of the aluminum plate, the cycle life of the catalyst, the cost of the overall system, and the recovery and treatment of a small amount of hydrogen and electrolyte. Artificial intelligence plays a very important role in the battery development process. It is very helpful in design and development, test demonstration, data analysis, intelligent control equipment and production system process optimization. AI analysis technology is also helpful in market demand big data analysis and technological innovation mining. In terms of enterprise digital transformation, AI can perform predictive analysis to assist strategic decision-making, data analysis, market demand analysis, and customer value experience upgrades.
Zhang Jinying: If the aluminum plate can react completely, the amount of hydrogen produced will be very large, and it is extremely important to make full use of this part of hydrogen energy reasonably. With the assistance of artificial intelligence technology, data processing, algorithm development, model training, etc. can be better performed in the battery development process, which can significantly improve the experimental efficiency and meet the needs of researchers for secondary development. Similarly, in the digital transformation of enterprises, AI can be used at any point in the work business or product life cycle, and help optimize work methods and improve work efficiency.
Zhi Linjie: There are still various problems in aluminum-air fuel cells, such as the requirements for the quality of the aluminum plate itself in actual use, the amount of hydrogen released, and the manufacturing technology of the catalyst. In the development process of AI, the power system is crucial. In the later development of portable power systems, aluminum-air batteries can play unique advantages in terms of energy density and self-control requirements.
