Abstract

© 2024 by the authors. Low-cost green hydrogen production will be key in reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Green hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis using renewable energy, including wind energy. However, the configuration of offshore wind-to-hydrogen systems is not yet standardised. For example, electrolysis can take place onshore or offshore. This work presents a framework to assess and quantify which configuration is more resilient, so that security of hydrogen supply is incorporated in strategic decisions with the following key findings. First, resilience should be assessed according to hydrogen supply, rather than hydrogen production. This allows the framework to be applicable for all identified system configurations. Second, resilience can be quantified according to the quantity, ratio, and lost revenue of the unsupplied hydrogen.
