The system incorporates a desalination unit to provide the island with fresh water and feed the electrolyzer to produce hydrogen. The optimization process utilizes a mixture of experts in conjunction with the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) algorithm traditionally used in drug design, to achieve two main objectives: minimizing operational costs and maximizing revenue from the sale of water, hydrogen, and electricity. Many case studies are examined, representing typical electricity demand and wave conditions during typical summer, winter, spring, and fall days. The simulation, optimization, and results are carried out using MATLAB 2018 and SAM 2024 software applications. The findings demonstrate that the combination of the QSAR algorithm and quantum-inspired MoE results in higher revenue and lower costs compared to other current techniques, with hydrogen sales being the primary contributor to increased income.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse13030461","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,27]],"date-time":"2025-02-27T08:04:44Z","timestamp":1740643484000},"page":"461","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Quantum-Inspired MoE-Based Optimal Operation of a Wave Hydrogen Microgrid for Integrated Water, Hydrogen, and Electricity Supply and Trade"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6294-5144","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hady H.","family":"Fayek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy and Renewable Energy Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Egyptian Chinese University, Cairo 11786, Egypt"}]},{"given":"Fady H.","family":"Fayek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Egyptian Chinese University, Cairo 11786, Egypt"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6899-8442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eugen","family":"Rusu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, \u201cDunarea de Jos\u201d University of Galati, 800008 Galati, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"IEA (2025, January 22).
