WHYBS – Wind and hydrogen systems
About the project
The project focuses on how large offshore wind farms can supply energy for hydrogen production, which can be used for storage, in the transport sector, or for large-scale industrial applications. The aim is to develop optimization models for strategic and tactical planning and control for cost-effective hydrogen production integrated with an offshore wind farm.

Artur Zarske
The rapid expansion of offshore wind energy presents great opportunities for building a fully renewable energy system. At the same time, integrating fluctuating wind power into regional energy grids remains a complex challenge. My PhD research, as part of the WHYBS – Wind and Hydrogen Systems project, examines how large-scale offshore wind farms can be combined with hydrogen production to provide flexible energy storage, support sustainable transportation, and contribute to the green transition. By developing optimization models for planning and operational control, our work aims to create effective and practical strategies for the integration of wind and hydrogen systems.
A central focus of our research is understanding how different wind farm control strategies influence both electricity generation and hydrogen production. We develop models to simulate and optimize the interaction between variable wind resources and hydrogen storage and distribution, offering insights for designing resilient and scalable energy systems. The goal is to turn the technical potential of wind and hydrogen systems into actionable solutions that support a sustainable energy transition.
About me
I hold a B.Eng. in Pharmaceutical and Chemical Engineering and a M.Eng. in Process Engineering, both from Berlin University of Applied Sciences and Technology (BHT). With a strong foundation in process engineering and simulation, I am currently pursuing a PhD in Renewable Energy Engineering at Uppsala University. My research combines energy systems analysis, computational modelling, and system optimization, bridging technical expertise with applied problem-solving.
I am motivated by the ambition to develop tangible solutions for a sustainable energy future and to support the practical integration of renewable technologies into real-world energy systems.
