Stage 1 of 15 / Introduction

Write the project basis

Fix the hydrogen target, technology label, operating calendar, availability and study boundary before any rate is computed.

In development Green Hydrogen Plant
Draft development workbench (noindex). These stages are exercisable on a direct development route for learning and review. The journey remains a draft: not published, excluded from search/sitemap by existing protections, and not independently engineering-approved. Quantitative outputs are screening/educational where implemented and must not be treated as certified design, OEM guarantees, project approval, or bankable results.
Professional review required.Engines and workbench are implemented for draft development use. Defaults, sources, heating-value basis and engineering assumptions still require independent review. The journey must not be published or sitemap-indexed from this phase. Current verification state: Needs engineering review.

After this stage you can

Learning objectives
  • State the project name, location label, technology, daily target and operating calendar.
  • Separate owner requirements from illustrative defaults and unknown site facts.
  • Explain why availability reduces annual production without changing the hourly rating.

The engineering

A hydrogen study fails quietly when the brief mixes an offtake wish with a verified interconnection and a water permit. The daily target, operating hours, days per year and availability change every downstream mass, energy and cost figure. They are decisions, not outputs.

The default case is a 4,000 kg/day coastal demonstration with a PEM label. It is a teaching plant. Location, grid status, water source and every unit rate must be replaced before a real decision. The workbench records the statement; it does not certify the site.

Technology is a labelled envelope (PEM, alkaline or SOEC), not a fitted polarisation curve. Changing the label changes the screening band for stack kWh/kg. It does not import a vendor map.

Draft development workbench (noindex). Inputs are saved in this browser only. Calculations shown are screening/educational outputs from the existing model where implemented; missing or unsupported quantitative areas remain explicit. Completing stages records self-declared learning progress only — it is not quantitative engineering capability, not an OEM guarantee, and not industrial/project approval.

Inputs

Saved in this browser

Edit the screening inputs for this stage, then calculate. Values you enter are marked as user-entered in the local project state; defaults remain illustrative until replaced.

Screening results

Educational model output

Results come from the existing hydrogen screening model. Unsupported quantitative areas, missing evidence, and review requirements remain explicit; outputs are not certified design or approval decisions.

Process & balance context

Textual screening views

This educational workbench presents stage-specific calculated outputs and limitations. Detailed interactive diagrams are not required for journey completion; use the stage results and assumptions panels to review boundaries, flows, energy, storage, and economics context.

Capstone evidence

A design-basis paragraph and a saved project state reused by every later stage.

Stage assumptions, limits and sources

Provenance

Assumptions

  • The learner owns the target, calendar and technology label.
  • Defaults are round teaching values, not quotations or site measurements.
  • One saved state feeds every later stage and the exported report.

Constraints

  • The workbench is a browser-side screening model, not FEED or a bankable study.

Limitations

  • No title search, geotechnical investigation, permit review or offtake contract.
  • No measured climate, water analysis or grid study is bundled.

Review status

  • Needs engineering review
  • Professional review is required before publication or use as a design basis.
