The Car Park Power Plant (CPPP) concept is in its essence a parking garage in which parked fuel cell vehicles are used for the generation of electricity. By including on-site hydrogen production methods, the CPPPs could purchase electricity when it is cheap, store it, and convert it back to electricity when the electricity price is high. System innovations such as the CPPP concept lead to large scale changes in infrastructure systems such as the electricity and the passenger transport infrastructure. Knowledge is currently lacking concerning the influence of CPPP design choices and environmental uncertainties, on the possible future operational performance of the installation. In order to aid in the delineation of the possible design space of CPPPs, this thesis has the objective of providing an approach that is capable of identifying possible barriers for the successful operation of a CPPP.
