Quantitative assessment of sector coupled energy system of Germany with hydrogen imports and applications for 2030

The hydrogen-based economy emerges as a promising option that promises to revolutionize our energy landscape. This thesis aims to uncover the complexities of this transformation, guided by the principles of the energy trilemma: energy security, energy equity (affordability), and environmental sustai...
