Politecnico di Torino (POLITO) is one of Italy’s leading technical universities, internationally recognised for excellence in engineering, architecture, design and applied research. With more than 38,700 students and over 1,000 academic staff, POLITO combines strong scientific expertise with technology transfer and innovation activities supporting industry and society. Within POLITO, the Department of Energy (DENERG) is a reference centre in the fields of power and energy systems, sustainable development and clean energy technologies.
The STEPS research group of DENERG has more than 20 years of experience in electrochemical energy systems, hydrogen production and storage, fuel cells and system integration. Its expertise spans experimental activities (cell, stack and system testing), modelling and techno-economic optimisation of integrated energy systems. STEPS has coordinated and participated in major EU projects, including SOFCOM, DEMOSOFC and REMOTE, focusing on innovative hydrogen and solid oxide technologies in real-world applications. The POLITO H2SCORE team is composed of Marta Gandiglio, Paolo Marocco, Oma Najoui and Massimo Santarelli.
Politecnico di Torino is the project coordinator of H2SCORE. It leads the demonstration campaign in Quarona (WP9) and the replication and upscale assessment of the H2SCORE concept in additional case studies (WP11). POLITO contributes to the conceptual and modelling activities supporting the control system definition, in collaboration with CARTIF and ENGREEN, and oversees the integration and operation of the demonstrator through day-by-day coordination during design, commissioning and the one-year monitoring phase. Within WP10, POLITO performs the techno-economic assessment across all project RECs, including cost-optimal sizing, CAPEX/OPEX analysis, revenue evaluation, self-consumption optimisation and grid-service opportunities. The team also supports knowledge transfer and the definition of replication roadmaps to enhance scalability.
