ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a computerized optimization system configured to optimize the operations of a hydrogen generation, processing, and delivery network. Such a network typically includes a complex of physical equipment, plants, and pipelines, including both production and distribution facilities. A hydrogen optimization system provides a software system that optimizes the production and distribution of hydrogen over such a hydrogen network. The hydrogen optimization system may use both a genetic algorithm configured to “evolve” a population of solutions to improve the quality of solutions over time as well as directed heuristics to identify a superior operating state for the hydrogen pipeline network.
