Hydrogen is poised to play an increasingly important role in decarbonizing a range of sectors, including power generation. Mitsubishi Power used PLEXOS Electric, Gas, and Water modules to model Long-Duration Hydrogen Storage and its impact on ERCOT’s energy transition. By integrating generation, storage, transmission, pipeline expansion and dispatch along with water constraints, the model provides high-fidelity solutions for optimizing ERCOT's decarbonization pathways. 

In this presentation, see how the modeling supports system planning by addressing four key questions:

1. Where, when and how much renewable energy should be developed?
2. Should energy be stored in batteries or hydrogen systems, and how much of each is needed?
3. Should energy be transported via power lines or hydrogen pipelines, and where should these be built?
4. How should the energy system be managed and operated?
