Project Description
This project aimed to develop an optimization model and graphical interface to support the design of off-grid renewable hydrogen production systems. The model estimates the costs and environmental impacts of using solar and wind power to generate hydrogen, determining the optimal sizing of energy sources and storage to ensure a continuous supply. Users can input hydrogen demand and electrolyser capacity to generate tailored system designs, to optimize cost or combined cost-impact focusing on off-grid applications where grid connections are not viable, addressing both technical and sustainability goals.
The interface makes results accessible to a wide audience, including academics, policymakers, and industry professionals. By visualizing trade-offs and key metrics, the tool supports informed decision-making in hydrogen infrastructure planning.
Main Outcomes
Scientific Outreah: A scientific article describing the model and its findings is currently under peer review and will be submitted to a scientific journal.
Public Graphical User Interface: A graphical user interface has been developed to communicate the results and design recommendations to non-technical users. Sensitivity analyses performed to evaluate system behavior under variable resource availability (solar/wind), electrolyser efficiency, and demand fluctuations. A dataset of optimized hydrogen system designs for different geographic locations and demand profiles.
