Integrated Planning Model for Optimizing Investments in Hydrogen Infrastructure Deployment: A Case Study of Yangtze River Delta Region, China by Weijie Shen, Hua Li, Hongjian Ding, Ming Zeng, Chuansheng Xie, Xiaochun Zhang

“…Second, a hydrogen supply chain design (HSCD) model and a hydrogen refueling station location (HRSL) model were constructed. In view of the limitations of the two models, this paper reformulated the HRSL model through alternating the objective function and constraint, then proposed an integrated planning model using the ϵ‐constraint method, which relaxed the assumption condition and expanded the decision‐making boundary of the original model, realizing the reasonable equilibrium of multiple segments. …”
