Each case starts from a concrete question about the energy system, answers it with a model you can run again, and comes with a page where you watch the answer change as you move a slider. For each case: the interactive page, the executed notebook, the figures, the data and the code. These are textbook cases, not forecasts.
They are built with POMMES, the open-source energy-system planning tool of the PERSEE centre (MINES Paris – PSL), and accompany the training course “Evolution of the power system in the context of the energy transition” (MINES Paris – PSL Executive Education, in French).
Fos-sur-Mer: what is hydrogen storage worth, and what does doing without gas cost?
If Fos-sur-Mer made its 83.5 kt of hydrogen a year entirely by electrolysis, the Manosque salt cavern would be worth €0.48/kg at €1,350/kW and €1.34/kg at €417/kW. Without a mandate it is worth nothing: the gas reformer already provides flexibility. A page to play with CAPEX, gas and the weather year.
Interactive page, notebook, data and codeThe code and data of every case are in the public repository pommes-case-studies.
