Robust Capacity Planning of Hydrogen-Based Remote Microgrids with a Co-Optimized Daily Service Window

Published in Applied Energy, 2026

This work treats the timing of high-power service as a planning-stage flexibility resource. It co-optimizes photovoltaic, wind, battery, fuel-cell, and hydrogen-storage capacities with a contiguous daily service window while guaranteeing a two-tier service envelope under renewable-availability uncertainty.
