Design and Operations of Future Sustainable and Resilient Coupled Renewable Power & Hydrogen Infrastructure Systems under Uncertainty

Abstract

This project explores "sector couplings" underlying hydrogen co-production infrastructures in a low carbon energy future. This research will develop new computational system models to design and operate power and hydrogen co-production infrastructures exploiting flexibility in design concepts (aka real options). Flexibility enables systems to adapt, change, and reconfigure in the face of uncertainty, thus improving economic outlook, sustainability, and resilience in the long term. The work will contribute new methods and design thinking for future power & hydrogen co-production infrastructures in a world that is becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate, healthcare, geopolitical and cyber-physical uncertainty.
