Challenge

Green Hydrogen Feasibility Multi-Agent System with AutoGen

Masdar's strategic decision to re-evaluate green hydrogen projects in Abu Dhabi requires multi-faceted analysis of levelized cost, grid power tariffs, and off-taker demand. Build a multi-agent simulation system using AutoGen and Groq Cloud to simulate trade-off negotiations between finance, engineering, and regulatory agents. Achieve multi-agent consensus in under 10 conversation turns.

Dimension 1

consensus_achieved

Checks if group chat ended with explicit consensus marker

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

conversation_turns_count

Number of message turns required to reach stable consensus • target: 8 • range: 1-20

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Configure AutoGen multi-agent group chats with specialized domain personas

  • Utilize Groq Cloud high-throughput inference for low-latency multi-agent debates

  • Model levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) against fluctuating electrolyzer and power prices

  • Synthesize clear project termination vs restructuring recommendations
