    As countries seek to decarbonize their energy systems, green hydrogen has emerged as a promising energy carrier. This paper studies the production of green hydrogen from offshore wind in the Dutch North Sea, with particular emphasis on understanding how system design decisions and uncertain parameters affect key performance indicators. The analysis builds on a detailed … Read more

    Robustness analysis assesses the performance of a particular solution under variation in the input data. This is distinct from sensitivity analysis, which assesses how variation in the input data changes a model’s optimal solution. For risk assessment purposes, robustness analysis has more practical value than sensitivity analysis. This is because sensitivity analysis, when applied to … Read more

    In this paper, we propose ROBIST, a simple, yet effective, data-driven algorithm for optimization under parametric uncertainty. The algorithm first generates solutions in an iterative manner by sampling and optimizing over a relatively small set of scenarios. Then, using statistical testing, the robustness of the solutions is evaluated, which can be done with a much … Read more
