- <p>The deployment of low-carbon energy systems is increasingly constrained by the absence of structured infrastructure architecture. Hydrogen networks, carbon capture and storage systems, nuclear energy integration, and coal-to-nuclear repowering are often developed through project-specific approaches, resulting in fragmented infrastructure, inconsistent interfaces, and limited scalability. A common architectural foundation is therefore required to enable coordinated planning across technologies and stakeholders.</p> <p>This paper introduces a set of deterministic architecture frameworks designed to support structured energy infrastructure planning: the Hydrogen Logistics Architecture Framework (HLAF), the Hub-Only Pipeline Topology Architecture Standard (HOPT), the Nuclear Engineering Interface Architecture (NEIA), and the Nuclear Repowering Interface Architecture (NRIA). Each framework defines modular building blocks, classification layers, and topology rules that standardize infrastructure structure without prescribing specific technologies or projects.</p> <p>Together, these frameworks form a modular architecture toolkit that can be applied to national planning, infrastructure development, technology screening, and early-stage system design. The frameworks are designed for flexible use by governments, infrastructure planners, utilities, investors, engineering organizations, and technology developers. By functioning as reusable architecture “building blocks,” the frameworks enable consistent comparison of deployment pathways and scalable infrastructure development across hydrogen, CCUS, and nuclear energy systems.</p> <p>The paper presents the four frameworks and outlines common modes of application, demonstrating how deterministic architecture structures can support coordinated energy transition infrastructure planning.</p>
