Abstract

To better align the fluctuating offshore wind power with stable hydrogen demand, this study develops a demand-driven hydrogen supply chain optimization model incorporating hydrogen production strategies. Under a cost-minimization objective, the model evaluates and compares the cost and carbon emissions of different supply chain configurations. Two production strategies are proposed: partial grid-connected and fully off-grid electrolysis, applied to a case study in Guangdong, China. Results indicate that the average supply chain cost for electrolytic hydrogen ranges from USD 6.6–8.2/kg. Due to spatial distribution and operational characteristics, the off-grid mode shows greater station concentration, leading to about USD 1.4/kg higher transportation costs compared to the grid-connected mode. In the short term, partial grid-connected electrolysis serves as a feasible transition pathway. In the long term, with declining electricity prices and carbon trading, the overall cost of off-grid electrolysis could decrease by 12 %–21 %, offering greater cost reduction potential.

需求驱动的海上风电电解氢供应链优化部署与评估

为了更好地将波动的海上风电与稳定的氢需求结合起来，本研究建立了一个包含氢生产策略的需求驱动的氢供应链优化模型。在成本最小化的目标下，该模型对不同供应链配置的成本和碳排放进行了评估和比较。提出了两种生产策略：部分并网和完全离网电解，并以广东为例进行了应用。结果表明，电解氢的平均供应链成本为6.6-8.2美元/公斤。由于空间分布和运行特点，离网模式的站点集中度更高，导致运输成本比并网模式高出约1.4美元/千克。在短期内，部分并网电解是一种可行的过渡途径。从长远来看，随着电价和碳交易的下降，离网电解的总成本可能会下降12% - 21%，具有更大的成本降低潜力。

期刊介绍： The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc. The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
