Technical and Financial Modelling of Hydrogen Systems - Scope of Services

  • CRATOS in-house developed modelling software allows you to bring your hydrogen project closer to reality from an idea or concept to the final investment decision.
  • CRATOS HONEST modelling tool offers the possibility to size the electrolyser for an optimal Levelised Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) output whilst considering real-world supplier and study-based data to allow for a realistic result.
  • Based on research and real-world data our modelling tool enables customers to gain insight on what will be needed to make their green hydrogen production project possible from a technical point of view and from a financial perspective too.
  • CRATOS aligns customer data and uses the model to enable sound decisions enabling the establishment of risks and finding the right system (decentralised, centralised, grid-based electrolysis, off-site PPA, distribution…).
  • CRATOS also incorporate regulatory parameters for your project design to stay within the regulatory boundaries whilst optimizing the system and financial cost within that framework.
  • Enabling you to make data driven decisions regarding the design of the system and also optimize the design based on criteria such as renewable energy availability, capital costs, operating costs or demand driven quantities that might be needed for your project.
  • Any feasibility study and Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) process requires modelling to come to the final investment decision and start construction and operation.
  • Based on standard systems that can also be customized for different value chain parts, whether you are looking at pure hydrogen, derivatives, local or off-site usage. This is all based on a modular setup to find the right system boundaries for your project.

Technical and Financial Modelling of Hydrogen Systems - Key Benefits

  • H2 Expert Team: CRATOS team of experts in energy and hydrogen systems will bring their modelling expertise to customise their tool to reach your desired objectives.
  • Customisable: all projects have different needs, system boundaries and external conditions. CRATOS take all factors into consideration for their design before running their calculations.
  • Detailed: The level of detail always depends on input parameters and in an ideal scenario, CRATOS has access to the hourly renewable energy production data over the last 20 years for example. That is not always the case, and CRATOS is able to adapt both based on your needs and the availability of such data, still with accurate results.
  • Third party tool integration: all models have their limits and when required CRATOS combine forces with partners who also have their own modelling tools to enable outcomes with the most reliable data and tailor-made with multiple tools at their disposal and still the expertise to work with them.
  • 4 Pillars: CRATOS actions and motivations are based on ecological sustainability, social fairness, economic prosperity, and energy resilience.
