Abstract: The increasing urgency to transition towards sustainable energy systems has spurred significant interest in innovative technologies that can decarbonize the power grid. Among these technologies, hydrogen (H₂) holds considerable promise due to its ability to store and generate energy with minimal environmental impact. The concept of an "H₂ Loop," which integrates hydrogen production, storage, and utilization within the power grid, offers a pathway to enhance grid flexibility, stability, and sustainability. This research proposal aims to explore the potential of the H₂ Loop to transform the future power grid, making it more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
