Optimizing a hybrid system for green h2 and/or h2 derivative production and/or conversion

A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program comprising instructions for performing a method for optimizing a hybrid system for green H2 and/or H2 derivative production and/or conversion, the method comprising:

• obtaining:
• constraints, the constraints including:
• one or more constraints each related to a H2 and/or H2 derivative demand over a predetermined time period;
• and/or
• one or more constraints related to technologies of the hybrid system that are involved in the green H2 and/or H2 derivative production and/or conversion;
• and
• an objective function that quantifies a rate of the green H2 and/or H2 derivative production and/or conversion by only renewable technologies of the hybrid system:
• optimizing the objective function based on the constraints, the optimization having free variables, the free variables including a green H2 and/or H2 derivative production capacity of an electrolyzer of the hybrid system, a renewable power production capacity of the hybrid system, and operational variables for mass and power exchanges between the technologies of the hybrid system, the optimization using a MILP optimization method that is based on a linear formulation of the constraints.
