According to the main guidelines of European Green Deal for development of the hydrogen industry, the use of this energy carrier is planned in three main areas: energy, transport and industry. Transition Technologies offers is a multi-layer optimization tool, taking into account both commercial and technical aspects of related processes to provide support for multi-energy companies.

The high level objective of optimization is to maximize revenues from the utilization of produced hydrogen based on:

- information on planned production,

- available hydrogen quantities

- current market conditions,

- data from existing economic support systems

- technical and economic characteristics of processes using hydrogen as an energy carrier.



For each time step of the optimization scenario, the optimizer is able to provide the user with information on how the available hydrogen can be optimally utilized or sold to the target customers. The tool can be used to support both teams dealing with gaseous fuels trading and operators of installations utilizing hydrogen.

In the upper layer, the optimizer takes into account the currently available volumes and demand for hydrogen, prices of hydrogen and electricity, but also, due to the stabilizing role of hydrogen for the power grid, the current demand for electricity is also taken into account. The system will also take into account the profile of demand for hydrogen fuel and the level of criticality of industrial installations.

The lower layer of the optimizer performs the task of minimizing the operating costs of individual technical installations in the supply chain by planning the optimal load distribution between individual devices, as well as the selection of device operating points to ensure achieving demanded process setpoins. The solution has been designed to support a wide range of technical installations, such as compressor units for injection of hydrogen into the network, gas-hydrogen turbines, fuel cells and vehicle refueling stations.
