We optimise a carbon-neutral 2050 target system and compare it with 24 scenarios in which hydrogen transfer and storage capacities are restricted relative to the cost-minimal case. The evaluation takes total system costs, investments, levelised cost of hydrogen, electrolyser operation, and regional infrastructure priorities for hydrogen technologies into account. Our results show that for the chosen scenario setup an inflexible hydrogen system increases annual system costs by 36billion€ or about 10% compared to the cost-optimal case. Most of this penalty comes from restricting network rather than storage expansion. In the optimal case, Europe builds around 120TWh of hydrogen cavern storage, with 57% of it repurposed from previous natural gas utilisation. Electrolyser capacity ranges from around 330GW to more than 500GW across scenarios, and infrastructure enabling flexibility reduces the model-implied levelised cost of hydrogen from 64€/MWh in the inflexible case to 51€/MWh for the optimum.

Bioenergy, with its inherent flexibility, can mitigate the negative impacts of renewable energy intermittency on a net-zero emissions energy system. As it takes two to tango, we analyze the interplay between variable renewable energy and dispatchable bioenergy, considering the past weather data using a risk-sensitive stochastic optimization model and future climate scenarios for Germany. Our outcomes propose that when solar and wind energy are abundant, the overall system cost is at a minimum, whereas during shortages, flexible bioenergy can support meeting electricity demand, albeit at a total system cost up to approximately 10% higher, depending on the condition. Moreover, our findings suggest that excessive risk sensitivity may drive greater dependence on dispatchable fossil energy, which poses a serious threat to achieving climate targets. Finally, we exhibit that under high availability of solar and wind energy, the investments in these technologies are more uniformly distributed across German federal states, whereas under lower availability, the northern and southern states are prioritized.

To enhance the performance of model predictive controls in building energy management, this study proposes a novel decision-focused end-to-end learning method that transforms domain-specific knowledge into heuristic surrogate losses, thereby embedding downstream optimization objectives into the prediction model training process. Two physics-informed surrogate losses are designed for regulating building energy storage system operations, one weights prediction errors by their marginal contribution to operation costs considering price dynamics and grid interactions, while the other quantifies deviations in energy storage system operations from perfect foresight in terms of energy storage state trajectories and potential arbitrage opportunities. Comprehensive data experiments have been conducted using 102 40-day datasets collected from 9 buildings. The results demonstrate that the proposed methods can consistently outperform the conventional two-stage approach, achieving evident reductions in normalized regret by 6.7% to 28.7%. A counterintuitive finding reveals that the decision quality improves despite higher prediction errors, and the heuristic losses proposed can provide implicit regularization to ensure the generalization performance under unseen operating conditions.

In the power sector, hydrogen provides critical backup flexibility, with demand rising from 12 to 381 TWh as prices decline, reflecting its high price sensitivity. In transport, electrification remains dominant across most applications, while fuel-cell trucks drive demand growth at lower prices. In buildings, hydrogen plays only a minor role, with notable uptake emerging solely at very low prices.
