project description

This project focuses on developing smart, efficient, and cost-effective heating solutions by integrating hydrogen boilers, fuel cells, and heat pumps. With buildings accounting for a significant share of global emissions, this project aims to reduce grid reliance and enhance energy efficiency through real-time optimization. By leveraging machine learning and model predictive control, we create an intelligent decision-making system that dynamically adjusts hydrogen heating configurations based on demand, cost, and performance. The result is a flexible, low-carbon heating alternative that ensures thermal comfort and affordability while supporting the transition to sustainable energy.
