A Framework for Co-optimizing Cost and Resilience in Stand-Alone Power Systems for Green Hydrogen Production

The rapid expansion of the green hydrogen sector introduces a fundamental shift in power system planning and demands robust methods to guide and reduce the risk of large-scale investments. This paper presents a comprehensive techno-economic optimization framework for the design of least-cost, resilient, stand-alone renewable energy systems dedicated to industrial green hydrogen production. The work supports CIGRE Study Committee C1 objectives by addressing planning requirements for a new class of energy-intensive industrial loads while ensuring supply adequacy and operational reliability for a net-zero process.
