This study reviews the papers that pertain to the hydrogen supply chain network design (HSCND) models published in scientific journals. A few drawbacks (e.g., the treatment of uncertainty and feedstock problems) and missing aspects (e.g., the intertemporal integration planning) in the literature are identified, thus motivating the development of a comprehensive HSCND methodology. Key components of the hydrogen supply chain are presented; thereafter, the models are analyzed and classified based on their decisions, performance measures, uncertainties, solution methodologies, and other model features. Moreover, an effort was made to complete the critical pre-optimization preparation works, which are essential but have been overlooked in previous reviews. Finally, a list of potential problems for future research directions is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
