High-tech for the hydrogen economy at the Port of Stuttgart: Stadtwerke Stuttgart (SWS) and the Center for Solar Energy and hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) are collaborating on the joint project “SCH2EDULIZER.” The partners are jointly developing an AI-powered software solution designed to optimize the operation of the four electrolysers at the green hydrogen Hub Stuttgart (GH2S).

Software Optimizes Hydrogen Production at the Hub

“This joint project represents the next stage of development for our innovative hydrogen project at the Port of Stuttgart. It will enable us to use renewable resources particularly efficiently in ongoing hydrogen production and to adapt to dynamic market fluctuations—without neglecting regulatory requirements,” says Jannik Eversmann, subproject manager at Stadtwerke Stuttgart. Jonas Petzschmann, deputy head of the Modules, Systems, and Applications Division and team leader for Smart Grids & Grid Integration at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg in Stuttgart, adds: “Green hydrogen becomes more economical not only through better technology, but also through intelligent operation. SCH2EDULIZER ensures that the electrolyzer, battery storage, and electricity markets work together optimally.” The two-year collaborative project is funded through the Invest BW program by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the State of Baden-Württemberg.

The innovative software application utilizes modern optimization methods for electrolysers and battery storage systems. It takes current energy market mechanisms into account. This allows high-purity green hydrogen to be produced precisely when renewable electricity can be procured at particularly low prices on the energy market. Battery storage systems dynamically feed electricity into the production process when market prices are higher or additional operational capacity is required. The AI-powered software ensures optimal operation of the electrolysers by equally accounting for fluctuating markets, volatile generation, and regulatory requirements for electricity from renewable sources.

As a practical partner, Stadtwerke Stuttgart is responsible for implementing and testing the software at the Green Hydrogen Hub in the Port of Stuttgart. ZSW contributes its methodological expertise in the areas of energy system modeling, optimization under uncertainty, and machine learning, and is taking the lead in developing the optimization models.
