A multi-optimization model for the design of hydrogen supply chains

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization models which operating as time processes (2025-2035) for the design of hydrogen supply chain. The feasibility of the models are illustrated through a detail case study of Dalian, China. Furthermore, the case is evaluated with the total daily costs and CO2 emissions reduction constraints. The results show that with the increase of hydrogen demand, considering the environmental factors, SMR are mostly applied in hydrogen production link. Shahekou and Pulandian grids are suitable for the constructions of hydrogen production units. Tank trucks are the main modes of hydrogen transportation. The proposed design models can provide policy-makers with the selection of infrastructures pathways for strategic dynamic hydrogen development planning.
