Supplementary data for the PhD thesis: Integrating Energy Storage Systems: Towards Understanding and Reducing Decision-Making Uncertainties

This archive contains the empirical materials that underpin Chapters 2 through 4 of the dissertation. The research takes a mixed-methods, design-oriented approach to investigate where and why uncertainties, coordination gaps, and regulatory bottlenecks hinder the integration of hydrogen into the Dutch energy and electricity systems. It aims not only to diagnose these challenges but also to co-develop practical pathways that enable more adaptive, collaborative decision-making.The study is structured in two phases. The first phase explores integration challenges through literature and policy analysis, stakeholder interviews, focus groups, Social Network Analysis, and Institutional Network Analysis. The second phase builds on these findings to design and test integration strategies through participatory workshops. Together, these methods generate insights that are both analytical and actionable.Each chapter is based on a distinct study:<strong>Chapter 2 – Integration Challenges of Energy Storage Systems</strong> <em>Study: Unveiling Complexity of Hydrogen Integration</em><strong>Chapter 3 – Encapsulating Decision-Making Dynamics for Integration</strong> <em>Studies: Coordinating Social Dynamics; Hydrogen Distribution in the Netherlands</em><strong>Chapter 4 – Designing Coordination Mechanisms to Reduce Decision-Making Uncertainties</strong> <em>Studies: Regional Energy Hubs with Integrated Hydrogen; Integration Pathways Study</em>All data is organized by chapter, with each folder containing a README file detailing the contents and methodology.

本归档文件包含支撑本学位论文第2至第4章的实证研究素材。本研究采用混合研究法与设计导向型研究路径，探究不确定性、协调缺口与监管瓶颈在氢能融入荷兰能源电力系统过程中的阻碍环节与成因。本研究不仅旨在诊断上述挑战，还将协同开发切实可行的路径，以支撑更具适应性与协同性的决策制定。
本研究分为两个阶段开展：第一阶段通过文献与政策分析、利益相关者访谈、焦点小组讨论、社会网络分析（Social Network Analysis）以及制度网络分析（Institutional Network Analysis），探究氢能融入的相关挑战；第二阶段则基于上述研究发现，通过参与式工作坊设计并测试氢能融入相关策略。上述研究方法共同产出兼具分析性与实操性的研究结论。
各章节均基于独立的研究项目：
<strong>第2章——储能系统的氢能融入挑战</strong> <em>研究主题：氢能融入的复杂性解析</em>
<strong>第3章——梳理氢能融入的决策动态</strong> <em>研究主题：协调社会互动；荷兰氢能配送</em>
<strong>第4章——设计协调机制以降低决策不确定性</strong> <em>研究主题：集成氢能的区域能源枢纽；融入路径研究</em>
所有数据按章节分类归档，每个文件夹均包含README文件，用于说明文件内容与研究方法。
