Hybrid Hydrogen Home Storage for Decentralized Energy Autonomy

To determine the cost minimal supply system and its operation for a self-sufficient building, a Mixed Integer Linear Program is developed within the modelling framework FINE. It uses the optimisation modelling language Pyomo and is available open source. The model represents decisions on the buildings’ energy system structure (technology selection), sizing (capacity of energy supply units) and operation for one representative year in a set of linear equations with continuous and binary variables. Sizing and operation for a self-sufficient supply has been optimized for the representative year with one-hour time-steps towards a goal function representing equivalent total annual costs.
