This study presents a methodological framework for designing a hydrogen supply chain (HSC) utilizing a superstructure that incorporates various alternatives for feedstock, production, storage, transportation, and distribution. The framework features a mixed-integer non-linear mathematical model that includes innovative factors such as power efficie...

This work studies the potentials of Digital Twin solutions for the design of competitive and reliable green hydrogen facilities. A digital twin based on stochastic simulations is proposed to address the uncertainties associated with investment and operating costs, to increase confidence and stimulate investments. Several input assumptions are invol...

This paper presents an analysis of green hydrogen production from geothermal and solar energy sources through a Monte Carlo simulation approach, using a first version of a digital twin for the intelligent design of hydrogen facilities. The proposed methodology allows comparing hydrogen production based on three different configurations (case study...

This paper aims to present an optimization approach for the design and planning of a hydrogen supply chain in Corsica Island. The formulation developed is based on a multiperiod approach using a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) methodology. Three configuration scenarios of the Hydrogen Supply Chain (HSC) considering three single objective ca...

This paper presents a methodological design framework for Hydrogen and Methane Supply Chains (HMSC) based on Power-to-Gas (PtG) systems. The novelty of the work is twofold, first considering a specific demand for hydrogen for electromobility in addition to the hydrogen demand required as a feedstock to produce synthetic methane from the methanation...

This work presents a methodological design framework for Hydrogen and Methane Supply Chains (HMSC). An innovative approach is to focus on Power-to-Hydrogen (PtH) and Power-to-Methane (PtM) concepts, and their interactions with other technologies, and energy carriers (i.e., Steam Methane Reforming – SMR, and natural gas). The overall objective of th...

This paper presents a methodological framework for the design of Hydrogen and Methane Supply Chains (HMSC), mainly focusing on Power-to-Gas (PtG) with low-carbon sources to spur the energy transition. The scientific objective is to perform mono and multi-objective optimizations of the HMSC to provide effective support for the study of deployment sc...

This work presents a methodological design framework for hybrid Hydrogen and Methane Supply Chains (HMSC). The optimization approach of De-Leon Almaraz et al. (2012) has been extended to meet simultaneous demands for hydrogen and methane. The overall objective is to model and optimize HMSC in order to provide effective support for the study of depl...
