Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With this Special Issue, we would like to address the importance of system integration for the implementation of hydrogen technology. Many of the applications have already reached a high technological readiness level. Therefore, system integration in real applications is becoming an increasingly important field of research and development. By system integration, we mean the spatial and technical integration of the components of the hydrogen chain. The hydrogen chain involves its production, storage and utilization in mobile or stationary applications. For this, the system integration must take into consideration not only mass flows but also temperature and pressure conditions for the respective application. In the forthcoming years, this field of research will gain further importance due to the impulse of hydrogen technology to reduce CO2 emissions and cover the growing energy demand. Against this background, we look forward to receiving exciting contributions to this Special Issue.

In response to the energy transition to renewable resources, green hydrogen production via electrolysis is gaining momentum. Modular electrolysis plants provide a flexible and scalable solution to meet rising hydrogen demand and adapt to renewable energy fluctuations. However, optimizing their operation poses challenges, especially when dealing with heterogeneous electrolyzer modules. In this work, a combination of decentralized Multi-Agent Systems and the Module Type Package concept is presented that enhances the cost-optimized operation of modular electrolysis plants. This approach synergizes the individual strengths of Multi-Agent Systems in handling complex operational dynamics with the efficiency of the Module Type Package for integration and control capabilities. By integrating these technologies, the approach addresses the heterogeneity of electrolyzer modules and increases the adaptability, scalability, and operational flexibility of electrolysis plants. The approach was validated through a case study, demonstrating its effectiveness in achieving cost-optimized load scheduling, dynamic response to demand–supply fluctuations, and resilience against electrolyzer module malfunctions. In summary, the presented approach offers a comprehensive solution for the effective coordination and optimization of modular electrolysis plants. Full article
