In this course, Dr. Karan Doss, PhD, Simulation Software Lead at Verdagy, will unveil the inner workings of Energize™, Verdagy’s cutting-edge modeling platform that goes far beyond basic electrolyzer specs to simulate entire green hydrogen ecosystems minute by minute.

This course presents a structured framework for understanding and designing green hydrogen systems through advanced simulation and digital twin modelling. It challenges traditional static approaches to techno-economic analysis and introduces the inverse problem as the foundational design logic: starting from hydrogen demand constraints and working backward to determine optimal system architecture. Central to this shift is the recognition that hydrogen production cannot be treated as an isolated asset but must be modelled as part of a broader, dynamically interacting energy ecosystem.

Across both conceptual and applied perspectives, the course demonstrates how variability in renewable energy supply, market pricing, and operational conditions fundamentally reshapes hydrogen project design. It highlights the importance of temporal modelling at hourly or sub-hourly resolution, modular system representation, and integrated financial analysis to capture real-world performance with high fidelity. The Energize platform is presented as a practical implementation of these principles, enabling users to configure electrolyser systems, integrate renewable assets, model storage and grid interactions, and evaluate full lifecycle economics within a unified digital environment.

Ultimately, the course emphasizes that achieving competitive hydrogen economics requires system-level optimization rather than component-level efficiency improvements. By combining modular digital twin architecture with rapid simulation and iterative design capability, advanced modelling becomes a decision-making tool for reducing uncertainty, improving investment confidence, and enabling scalable deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure.
