Build a Green Hydrogen Investment Decision Agent with Vercel AI SDK and Novita AI

Green hydrogen project cancellations underscore the need for rigorous LCOH (Levelized Cost of Hydrogen) evaluation before FID. Build an automated investment review agent using Vercel AI SDK and Novita AI inference endpoints to evaluate power purchase agreements and capital costs, providing clear go/no-go recommendations.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Construct an investment evaluation pipeline with Vercel AI SDK and Novita AI inference runtimes.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates accuracy of LCOH calculations and consistency of FID decisions across varying power prices.

Datasets

Shared data for this challenge

Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

decision_validity

Ensures decision is PROCEED when target price exceeds calculated LCOH

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

lcoh_accuracy

Accuracy of computed hydrogen cost per kg • target: 0.97 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Implement structured streaming endpoints using Vercel AI SDK

  • Route inference requests to high-throughput open models on Novita AI

  • Calculate Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) under varying solar/wind PPA rates

  • Formulate automated FID (Final Investment Decision) scorecards
