Nevertheless, current hydrogen metallurgy processes suffer from poor utilization of low-temperature waste heat, limited adoption of electrified equipment, and a decoupling between energy output and carbon emissions assessment, which obscures potential energy savings and impedes the steelmaking sector’s climate-change mitigation goals. To address these gaps, this paper proposes a novel zero-carbon hydrogen metallurgy system with fully electrified equipment that integrates the utilization of low- and high-temperature waste heat, internal energy, and cold energy during hydrogen production, storage, reaction, and circulation. Mathematically, detailed models are developed to quantify the energy and exergy inflows and outflows of every operating unit in the proposed zero-carbon hydrogen metallurgy system. Energy, exergy, and energy-carbon efficiency indices are proposed. Each metric is formulated across the complete process-chain energy flow, thereby eliminating the counting of the chemical energy in the circulating furnace top gas and ensuring accuracy of evaluation.

ZCPMGs typically rely on offshore wind power generation, complemented by energy storage systems, to operate in off-grid island mode. Previous ZCPMGs focused on electricity supply, and the rising hydrogen demand from shipboard microgrids (SMGs) makes electricity–hydrogen integration indispensable, placing greater demands on the configuration of electricity–hydrogen coupled energy storage systems (EHCESs). Furthermore, uncertainties associated with offshore wind power, ship load, and electricity prices significantly complicate the optimization of EHCES configurations. To address these challenges, a bilevel optimization model is proposed, with the upper layer focusing on the EHCES configuration and the lower layer on the daily operation of the ZCPMG. Specifically, an energy management optimization model is proposed for the SMG to identify load demands under various operating scenarios, accompanied by refined EHCES modeling. The model will be analyzed using stochastic programming to address renewable energy variability and information gap decision theory to manage extreme uncertainties in ship loads and energy prices. A case study based on an ZCPMG in northern Europe is conducted, and the results indicate that EHCES investments are economically viable under both opportunity and deterministic scenarios, although less under robust conditions. Among the uncertainties, energy price fluctuations exert the most significant influence on economic feasibility. Conversely, hydrogen prices and power-to‑hydrogen efficiency have minimal impacts, whereas electricity prices have a more substantial effect on the viability of EHCES configurations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":246,"journal":{"name":"Applied Energy","volume":"401 ","pages":"Article 126672"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144907855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the impact of varying HFCV adoption rates, as well as the number and location of hydrogen refueling stations, on emissions, driving behavior, and traffic dynamics in urban environments. A hybrid methodology, combining statistical analyses and machine learning techniques, was used to simulate all scenarios in the city of Linz, Austria. The simulation results indicate that the configuration of hydrogen refueling infrastructure, along with smoother driving patterns, can contribute to reduced congestion and significantly lower CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in high-traffic urban areas. Increasing the proportion of HFCVs was also found to be beneficial due to their use of electric motors powered by hydrogen fuel cells, which offer features such as instant torque, regenerative braking and responsive acceleration. Although these features are not unique to HFCVs, they contributed to a slight shift in driving behavior toward smoother and more energy-efficient patterns. This change occurred due to improved acceleration and deceleration capabilities, which reduced the need for harsh maneuvers and supported steadier driving. However, the overall effect is highly dependent on traffic conditions and real-world driving behavior. Furthermore, marginal and context-dependent improvements in traffic flow were observed in certain areas. These were attributed to HFCVs' responsive acceleration, which might assist in smoother merging and reduce stop-and-go conditions.
