“…Constraint (6) determines the inventory at start-up such that the inventory level in the first time period of the first season in year 0 is 0. Constraint (7) balances and cycles inventory from the last time period in a given season to the next. Constraint (8) balances and cycles inventory from the year-end to the first time period of the subsequent year.…”

“…Furthermore, given the scope of the problem and sizable system expenditure, it becomes important to understand how seemingly disparate value chains interact on a regional scale. This also allows us to identify some focus areas for research and development to address specific technical gaps that may restrict the transition [7].…”

“…The ongoing transition of global value chains towards a lower-carbon-emission paradigm involves a meticulous transformation of multiple sectors [7]. A departure from established hydrocarbon processes towards power generation technologies such as solar, wind, and geothermal is already underway, with biomass and water emerging as energy feedstock.…”

The production of hydrogen-based dense energy carriers (DECs) has been proposed as a combined solution for the storage and dispatch of power generated through intermittent renewables. Frameworks that model and optimize the production, storage, and dispatch of generated energy are important for data-driven decision making in the energy systems space. The proposed multiperiod framework considers the evolution of technology costs under different levels of promotion through research and targeted policies, using the year 2021 as a baseline. Furthermore, carbon credits are included as proposed by the 45Q tax amendment for the capture, sequestration, and utilization of carbon. The implementation of the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) framework is illustrated through computational case studies to meet set hydrogen demands. The trade-offs between different technology pathways and contributions to system expenditure are elucidated, and promising configurations and technology niches are identified. It is found that while carbon credits can subsidize carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) pathways, substantial reductions in the cost of novel processes are needed to compete with extant technology pathways. Further, research and policy push can reduce the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) by upwards of 2 USD/kg.

“…The main challenges of implementing renewable energy systems include geographic constraints on resources and technologies, increased energy and material demand, and the need to reduce emissions while remaining cost-sensitive. Kakodkar et al [33] analyzed the conversion of renewable energy systems and reviewed optimization methods to provide a reference for addressing the challenges.…”

In this paper, we provide theoretical and policy support for quota-allocation strategies based on a national unified renewable energy (RE) power market. Renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) are of great significance in promoting the stable development of renewable energy and improving power market decision making in China’s power industry. To resolve the geographical, resource allocation, and power-grid problems of multi-regional RE power generation, we constructed a regional distribution optimization model with the lowest cost under the RPS policy and designed a set of dynamic distribution mechanisms based on the renewable energy power quota index. The results show that it is necessary to prioritize development of wind-generated power on the North China and Northeast Power Grids, solar energy on the Northwest Power Grid, and biomass energy generation on grids in other regions to plan specific task undertakings and allocate RE power generation to each grid. We propose a multi-regional power distribution model at the lowest cost under the RPS policy to provide solutions and references for renewable energy power market quota allocation.

“…Consequently, countries worldwide face the challenge of meeting future energy requirements while minimizing costs and environmental impacts [ 5 ]. To address future energy needs while mitigating costs and environmental consequences, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of energy supply and consumption patterns [ 6 , 7 ]. However, the rising energy consumption has associated environmental implications.…”
