An accurate representation of this curve is essential for the optimal scheduling of the electrolyzer. The current state-of-the-art approach is based on piece-wise linear approximation, which requires binary variables and does not scale well for large-scale problems. To overcome this barrier, we propose two models, both built upon convex relaxations of the hydrogen production curve. The first one is a linear relaxation of the piece-wise linear approximation, while the second one is a conic relaxation of a quadratic approximation. Both relaxations are exact under prevalent operating conditions. We prove this mathematically for the conic relaxation. Using a realistic case study, we show that the conic model, in comparison to the other models, provides a satisfactory trade-off between computational complexity and solution accuracy for large-scale problems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.10951v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.10951v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-conic-model-for-electrolyzer-scheduling","repo_url":"https://github.com/elma-github/conic_electrolyzer_paper","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
