Hydrogen Transition Analysis Using Agent-based Modeling
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
Analysis of the Hydrogen Production and Delivery Infrastructure as a Complex Adaptive System |
| Previous Title(s): |
Agent-based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) for Hydrogen Transition Analysis
|
| Project ID: |
95 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Marianne Mintz |
| Keywords: |
Hydrogen infrastructure; transition; hydrogen production; hydrogen delivery |
Purpose
Analyze investment in hydrogen infrastructure during the early transition to a hydrogen economy using an agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) technique. ABMS is a micro-simulation technique that facilitates representation of heterogeneity in terms of many characteristics of the actors (agents) involved in the transition to a hydrogen infrastructure.

Project Description
| Type of Project: |
Model |
| Category: |
Hydrogen Fuel Pathways |
| Objectives: |
- Use agent-based modeling to provide insights into likely infrastructure investment patterns.
- Deal with chicken-or-egg aspect of early transition.
- Provide answer to the question, “Will the private sector invest in hydrogen infrastructure?”
|
| Technologies Modeled: |
Fuel production and delivery agents (decentralized, medium centralized, large centralized); delivery options (low-volume, short-distance and high-volume, long distance); retailing/refueling agents selling two products (H2 and gasoline); consumers (transport demand and purchasing and operating decisions); regulator (passive agent, sets the market rules) |
