Exploring synergies between model-based systems engineering and current hydrogen modeling approaches to advance the integration of green hydrogen into existing energy systems

减缓全球气候变化和减少温室气体排放需要国际合作。加拿大和德国在消除化石燃料燃烧排放方面面临着类似的挑战，但在资源禀赋、能源安全、经济活动和基础设施要求方面的差异为利用两国的优势提供了机会。该项目在加拿大维多利亚大学综合能源系统研究所(IESVic)和德国弗劳恩霍夫生产系统和设计技术研究所(IPK)之间建立了新的研究伙伴关系。这两家机构都在能源技术和基于模型的系统工程领域拥有丰富的经验。通过一系列研讨会、会议和联合出版物，两个组织的研究团队将分享最先进的能源系统建模方法和知识。研究的重点是电解产生的氢气的集成。氢可以用来储存和运输可再生能源，也可以用来制造替代石油产品的合成材料。在为期一年的时间里，合作伙伴将开发建模工具，帮助确定具有成本效益的氢气应用，并支持基于证据的政策制定，以减少两国的温室气体排放。

Mitigating global climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires international collaboration. Canada and Germany face similar challenges to eliminate emissions from fossil fuel combustion, but differences in resource endowment, energy security, economic activity, and infrastructure requirements provide an opportunity to leverage each country's strengths. This project develops a new research partnership between the Institute for integrated Energy Systems (IESVic) at the University of Victoria in Canada and the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK) in Germany. Both organisations bring extensive experience in the areas of energy technology and model-based systems engineering. Via a series of workshops, meetings, and joint publications, research teams from both organisations will share methods and knowledge on state-of-the-art energy system modelling. Focus of research is the integration of hydrogen produced via electrolysis. Hydrogen can be used to store and transport renewable energy, and to create synthetic materials that replace petroleum products. Over a one-year period, the partners will develop modelling tools that help identify cost-effective applications for hydrogen, and support evidence based policy making that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both countries.
