Hydrogen and electric mobility

Back to research overview

Hydrogen and electric mobility become tractable only when vehicles, stations, renewable supply, storage, delivery logistics, markets, and utility constraints are treated as one service network rather than isolated devices.

Research scope

I study the planning and operation of hydrogen refuelling and electric-mobility infrastructure, including renewable production, heterogeneous and backup storage, parallel dispensers, fuel-cell and electric-vehicle demand, delivery delays, electricity support, and market interaction.

Research objectives

The objective is to identify viable sizing, allocation, scheduling, and control policies that preserve mobility service under uncertain demand and delayed supply while managing operating cost, state transitions, component stress, and environmental impact.

Refuelling control

The control architecture coordinates renewable production, electrolysis, heterogeneous storage, electricity markets, backup hydrogen, and parallel service for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles while preserving operation during demand uncertainty and supply delays.

Experimental validation

Vehicle emulators, real-time control, communication interfaces, measurement systems, and power hardware test whether mobility-control decisions remain feasible under the implementation constraints hidden by simulation alone.
