“…Hydrogen must be separated from a compound by a certain operation, thereby increasing the cost of providing hydrogen [48,49]. In fact, Amrouche et al [50] and Le Duigou et al [51] identified that the high cost of storage and transportation is one of the most important disadvantages in this process. As a result, Reddi et al [52] underlined the importance of this issue, building on the need for simulation techniques.…”

This study seeks to find the appropriate strategies necessary to make sustainable and effective hydrogen energy investments. Within this scope, nine different criteria are defined regarding social, managerial, and financial factors. A hesitant, interval-valued, intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology is considered to calculate the degree of importance of the criteria. Additionally, impact relation maps are also generated to visualize the causality relationship between the factors. The findings indicate that the technical dimension has the greatest importance in comparison to managerial and financial factors. Furthermore, it is also concluded that storage and logistics, research and development, and technological infrastructure are the most significant factors to be considered when defining hydrogen energy investment strategies. Hence, before investing in hydrogen energy, necessary actions should be taken to minimize the storage and logistic costs. Among them, building the production site close to the usage area will contribute significantly to this purpose. In this way, possible losses during the transportation of hydrogen can be minimized. Moreover, it is essential to identify the lowest-cost hydrogen storage method by carrying out the necessary research and development activities, thereby increasing the sustainability and effectiveness of hydrogen energy investment projects.

“…In this case, the H2production train (GSR, WGS, PSA and CO2 compression) can be sized for the expected average plant load, whereas the power cycle is sized for maximum load. H2 storage tends to be relatively expensive, so this option may require the plant to be situated at a suitable underground formation that facilitates low-cost H2 storage [34]. Future economic assessments will better quantify the trade-offs involved in this configuration.…”

“…Because of its low permeability and good self-healing capacity, salt rock is recognized as an ideal medium for large-scale energy high capacity storage (Yang et al, 2015) such as strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) (Liu et al, 2016;Zhang et al, 2017), compressed air energy storage (CAES) (Aghahosseini and Breyer, 2018;Budny et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2018), hydrogen energy storage (Le Duigou et al, 2017;Ozarslan, 2012;Slizowski et al, 2017b),and particularly natural gas storage (Liu et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2013).…”

“…The usage of natural gas resources strongly fluctuates according to the season, while the gas well production is stable (Arfaee and Sola, 2014;Lawal et al, 2017). To balance the mismatch in gas supply and demand, in recent years, some countries have addressed the construction of large-scale storage caverns in salt rock formations (Evans and Chadwick, 2009;Le Duigou et al, 2017;Michalski et al, 2017;Parkes et al, 2018;Shi et al, 2017;Slizowski et al, 2017a). An appropriate leaching method is the key to successful construction of salt cavern gas storage.…”

Underground TWH caverns in salt rock have high construction efficiency and large usable volumes and provides an ideal space for large-scale natural gas storage. In this study, the solution mining process of TWH cavern is thoroughly analyzed. Applying basic principles of the Navier-Stokes equation method and reasonable assumptions, we established a new 3D mathematical model which includes flow and mass transfer and boundary movement for TWH salt cavern construction. Then, the velocity field and the concentration field can be solved by the SIMPLE algorithm, while the boundary movement of cavern expansion can be solved by the VOF algorithm. We developed a new VC++ computer code program TWHSMC for solution mining and herein we present the numerical results. Finally, the simulation cavern shapes results by program are compared with the experimental ones. The results indicate that our model successfully and accurately predicts the cavern shape and demonstrates the reliability and applicability of the model.
