Research Focus:
This PhD project focuses on the techno-economic analysis and optimization of integrated Power-to-X (PtX) systems in future energy systems. The research investigates how PtX plants combining renewable electricity, green hydrogen production, synthetic fuels, and district heating can be optimally operated under varying electricity market conditions and heat-demand profiles. Using simulation and optimization methods, the project evaluates the impact of electricity spot prices, e-fuel markets, and district heating integration on system performance, economic viability, and sustainability. The work supports efficient sector coupling between electricity, hydrogen, heating, and fuel synthesis.
Key Technologies:
- Power-to-X system modeling and optimization
- Sector coupling and energy system integration
- Techno-economic analysis
