Climate change has necessitated the reduction of CO2 emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors. Offshore Energy Hubs (OEHs), powered by renewable sources, have been proposed as a potential solution for renewable build-out and cross-sectoral integration. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review examining the technical concept and assessment mechanisms of OEHs from multiple perspectives, including chronological, design, and assessment principles. The review reveals a shift in the technical concept and evaluation assessments, evolving from cost-driven to economically driven, with a trend towards harmonized assessments that incorporate both economic and societal values, such as environmental impact. The importance of societal assessments is emphasized, addressing a research gap, where further investigation is needed for a successful implementation of future large-scale OEH projects. The paper highlights the need to develop comprehensive and inclusive evaluation frameworks to ensure the sustainable implementation of OEHs for the ongoing energy transition.

This paper introduces a method for incorporating long-term storage into the multi-horizon modelling paradigm, thereby expanding the scope of problems that this approach can address. The implementation presented here is based on the HyOpt optimization model, but the underlying concepts are designed to be adaptable to other models that utilize the multi-horizon approach. We demonstrate the effects of several formulations on a case study that explores the electrification of an offshore installation using wind turbines and a hydrogen-based energy storage system. The findings suggest that the formulations offer a realistic modelling of storage capacity, without compromising the advantages of the multi-horizon approach.
