Step 2: Design Phase
Simulation• Yearly energy supply/demand• Simulation with GAMs
Optimization• Case Specific Criteria• List of technologies &
Infrastructure• Economic Objective
Solution• Optimal number of each
component• Electrolysers• Fuel Cells• Wind and Solar modules
Step 3: Post-Processing PhaseCases I & II
Case 1: No V2G - $45.9 M
Case 2: Implementing V2G - $41.2 M
• 4 Fuel Cells required• 42% Total Cost
