By integrating semi-empirical electrochemical modeling with PSO-based optimization, it evaluates hydrogen production performance and cost competitiveness across Moroccan regions. π—žπ—˜π—¬ π—œπ—‘π—¦π—œπ—šπ—›π—§π—¦ πŸ”Ή Dakhla emerges as the most competitive location, with an LCOH of 3.18 $/kgHβ‚‚, supported by strong PV–wind complementarity and high system utilization πŸ”Ή Operational flexibility proves critical, reducing LCOH by 39.6%–69.5% when relaxing capacity factor constraints πŸ”Ή Cost drivers vary by location: battery and PV CAPEX dominate inland sites, while wind CAPEX and discount rate are key at Dakhla πŸ”Ή Hybrid renewable configurations significantly enhance both performance and economic viability This work contributes to advancing green hydrogen system optimization and reinforces Morocco’s positioning in the global hydrogen landscape. πŸ“„ Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/dRfVaCMj πŸ‘ Congratulations to all co-authors for this valuable contribution. #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #Electrolysis #RenewableEnergy #IRESEN #PowerToX #Research
