    Nowadays, to address the different demands of consumers, i.e., electricity, heat and gas, the concept of energy hub (EH) is emerged. Integrating multiple energy sources under the concept of energy hub can improve the efficiency and reliability of the system; moreover, efficiency increasing cause to decrease in environmental emission. Environmental emission is a very important issue from the global warming point of view that should be considered in the researches. In this regard, green hydrogen can be used as a clean energy carrier that can be stored for a long time without degradation. To this end, this paper focuses on the concept of hydrogen-based smart micro energy hub (SMEH) considering integrated demand response (IDR) and fuel cell-based hydrogen storage system (HSS). IDR is introduced to control consumers’ electrical and heat demand patterns. Additionally, HSS not only can convert power from renewable energy sources (RESs) to hydrogen (P2H) in a low electricity price period and vice versa (H2P) in a high electricity price period but also can supply the hydrogen-based industry. The aim of the proposed model is to minimize the total energy cost of hydrogen-based energy hub integrated with IDR and HSS under a robust optimization (RO) approach considering the uncertainty of electricity price. The proposed optimization model provides day-ahead scheduling for SMEH, which would improve the operation of the energy system. Finally, simulation and numerical results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed model. According to the obtained results, considered technologies cause to decrease in operation cost up to 7.8% and improve the system robustness against electricity market uncertainty up to 30%.
