Green hydrogen production from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, coupled with its efficient utilization, has been widely recognized as a critical technical pathway for the decarbonization and transformation of industries including power, chemical engineering, transportation, and metallurgy. In recent years, the integrated green hydrogen utilization industry—represented by green ammonia, green methanol, and green hydrogen-fueled transportation based on renewable energy-powered water electrolysis for hydrogen production—has experienced accelerated development. A large number of domestic demonstration projects have been approved and commenced construction, with some already completed and put into operation. However, numerous challenges in this field remain to be addressed. Constrained by the volatility, intermittency, and low utilization hours of renewable energy, large-scale renewable energy hydrogen production systems face a series of key technical hurdles in operation control, including balance matching, scale-up, flexibility quantification, and enhancement. Additionally, the industrial consumption of green hydrogen involves diverse characteristics across different sectors, multiple investment and operation entities, and significant barriers to information sharing. The scheduling and operation mechanisms, market operation models, and economic feasibility under the constraints of specific processes, production methods, and market supply and demand patterns are still in the exploratory stage.
To address the key challenges in the industrial utilization of renewable energy-based green hydrogen and share the latest research findings in this field, Journal of Northeast Electric Power University specially invites Associate Researcher Qiu Yiwei from Sichuan University, Assistant Researcher Li Jiarong from Tsinghua University, and Senior Researcher Wang Sheng from University College Dublin to serve as Guest Editors for the Special Issue on Operation Control and Optimal Planning of Large-Scale Green Hydrogen Industrial Utilization Systems. This special issue aims to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions on renewable energy hydrogen production, green hydrogen storage, transportation and industrial utilization, as well as the market operation of hydrogen and its industrial derivatives, providing a platform for relevant scholars to exchange insights, jointly promote technological advancements in this domain, and accelerate the communication and application of research outcomes. We sincerely welcome experts and scholars from home and abroad to contribute their high-quality papers!
