ABSTRACT:

In addition to the long-term goal of mitigating climate change, the current geopolitical
upheavals heighten the urgency to transformEurope’s energy system. This
involves expanding renewable energies while managing intermittent electricity
generation. Hydrogen is a promising solution to balance generation and demand,
simultaneously decarbonizing complex applications. To model the energy system’s
transformation, the project TransHyDE-Sys, funded by the German Federal
Ministry of Education and Research, takes an integrated approach beyond traditional
energy system analysis, incorporating a diverse range of more detailed
methods and tools. Herein, TransHyDE-Sys is situated within the recent policy
discussion. It addresses the requirements for energy system modeling to gain
insights into transforming the European hydrogen and energy infrastructure. It
identifies knowledge gaps in the existing literature on hydrogen infrastructureoriented
energy system modeling and presents the research approach of
TransHyDE-Sys. TransHyDE-Sys analyzes the development of hydrogen and
energy infrastructures from “the system” and “the stakeholder” perspectives. The
integrated modeling landscape captures temporal and spatial interactions among
hydrogen, electricity, and natural gas infrastructure, providing comprehensive
insights for systemic infrastructure planning. This allows a more accurate representation
of the energy system’s dynamics and aids in decision-making for
achieving sustainable and efficient hydrogen network development integration.
