LEARNING OUTCOMES
After completing this course, the students are able to:
- classify and evaluate the technologies in the hydrogen value chain that aim to decarbonize the power and energy sector, industrial processes, and end-users.
- model and conduct analyses on the functionality and societal impacts of the existing and emerging hydrogen technologies.
- analyze and evaluate the role of hydrogen components at different stages of the value chain (production/conversion, transportation, storage, distribution, and utilization) and evaluate their behavior, connection, control, and synergies with the power and energy sector.
- apply the principles of capturing, storing, and usage of the products and byproducts of hydrogen in the hydrogen value chain.
- analyze and develop the components and feasible technical solutions for optimal operation and planning of the power and energy sector.
- identify, create, and push forward new business opportunities related to hydrogen technologies.
- manage uncertainties when dealing with challenges in future energy technologies.
- know how to analyze the dynamic and steady-state behavior of the existing and upcoming components.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
The basic elements of the hydrogen systems will all be given with a detailed introduction of their operation principle, including:
- electrolysers which convert renewables into green hydrogen
- tubework and H2 transportation − how to transport hydrogen safely?
- H2 storage − how to store hydrogen for later usage?
- Compressors − how to compress hydrogen for safe usage?
- H2 tubework physics and dynamic phenomena − the basic operation principle of hydrogen transportation.
- material questions − the basic materials needed for the hydrogen system.
- safety questions – how to guarantee the safety of the hydrogen system during all the processes?
- H2 use cases and their influence on H2 tubework: how does the usage of hydrogen affect hydrogen transportation?
- integration of the power system and hydrogen system. Demand of flexibility (power/demand balance), sources of flexibility, integrated system dynamics − this section will give a special focus on describing how hydrogen energy will affect the holistic energy systems.
