+Electrolyzer is a controls-oriented engineering model for hydrogen production systems. It simulates
+multi-stack electrolyzer operation, supports PEM and alkaline cell models, tracks degradation, and
+includes levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) analysis utilities.

-Quick Installation
-------------
+## Installation
 
-``pip install git+https://github.com/NREL/electrolyzer.git``
+Python 3.11+ is required.
 
-For further installation instructions, see the `installing.md` file in the docs folder.
+```bash
+pip install .
+```
 
-Features
---------
+Optional extras:
 
-* TODO
+```bash
+pip install ".[examples]"   # notebooks + example dependencies
+pip install -e ".[develop]"  # dev + docs tooling
+pip install -e ".[all]"      # everything
+```
 
-Credits
--------
+More detail is in [docs/installing.md](docs/installing.md).
 
-This package was created with Cookiecutter_ and the `audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage`_ project template.
+## Quick start
 
-.. _Cookiecutter: https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter
-.. _`audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage`: https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage
+Run a simulation from a YAML configuration and a power signal:
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+from electrolyzer.simulation.bert import run_electrolyzer
+
+power_signal = np.ones(3600) * 1e6  # 1 MW for 1 hour, in Watts
+elec_sys, results = run_electrolyzer("examples/example_02_electrolyzer/modeling_options.yaml", power_signal)
+
+print(results.head())
+```
+
+Compute LCOH using the same signal:
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+from electrolyzer.tools.analysis.run_lcoh import run_lcoh
+
+power_signal = np.ones(3600) * 1e6
+lcoe = 0.04418  # $/kWh
+
+lcoh_breakdown, lcoh_value = run_lcoh(
+    "examples/example_04_lcoh/cost_modeling_options.yaml",
+    power_signal,
+    lcoe,
+)
+
+print(lcoh_value)
+```
+
+## Modeling configuration
+
+Models are configured with YAML files validated against a JSON schema. The schema defines defaults
+and accepted ranges for parameters like stack rating, cell geometry, degradation rates, and control
+policy settings.
+
+- Schema: [electrolyzer/tools/modeling_schema.yaml](electrolyzer/tools/modeling_schema.yaml)
+- Example PEM configuration: [examples/example_02_electrolyzer/modeling_options.yaml](examples/example_02_electrolyzer/modeling_options.yaml)
+- Example alkaline configuration: [examples/example_06_alkaline/default_alkaline.yaml](examples/example_06_alkaline/default_alkaline.yaml)
+
+Key configuration blocks:
+
+- `electrolyzer.supervisor`: system rating and number of stacks.
+- `electrolyzer.controller`: control strategy and decision policy flags.
+- `electrolyzer.stack`: stack sizing, cell type, and operational settings.
+- `electrolyzer.degradation`: degradation rates and end-of-life parameters.
+- `electrolyzer.cell_params`: PEM or alkaline cell model parameters.
+- `electrolyzer.costs`: LCOH input data for capex, opex, feedstock, and finance.
+
+## Control strategies
+
+The supervisor supports multiple control modes for stack scheduling and power distribution:
+
+- `PowerSharingRotation`, `SequentialRotation`
+- `EvenSplitEagerDeg`, `EvenSplitHesitantDeg`
+- `SequentialEvenWearDeg`, `SequentialSingleWearDeg`
+- `BaselineDeg`
+- `DecisionControl` (composed from policy flags in the YAML)
+
+See [electrolyzer/simulation/supervisor.py](electrolyzer/simulation/supervisor.py) for logic.
+
+## Degradation modeling
+
+Each stack tracks voltage degradation from steady operation, fatigue, and on/off cycling. You can
+choose whether degradation penalizes hydrogen production or increases power draw. The end-of-life
+voltage delta drives replacement calculations in the LCOH workflow.
+
+## Outputs
+
+`run_electrolyzer` returns a supervisor object and a `pandas.DataFrame` of time-series results.
+The frame includes overall power and curtailment plus per-stack columns for degradation, cycles,
+uptime, hydrogen production rate, and current density.
+
+## Examples
+
+- Basic simulation: [examples/example_02_electrolyzer/example_run.py](examples/example_02_electrolyzer/example_run.py)
+- Polarization curve fitting: [examples/example_01_polarization/example_run.py](examples/example_01_polarization/example_run.py)
+- Controller behavior: [examples/example_05_controller/example_05_controller_options.py](examples/example_05_controller/example_05_controller_options.py)
+- Alkaline configuration: [examples/example_06_alkaline/alkaline_example_run.py](examples/example_06_alkaline/alkaline_example_run.py)
+- LCOH calculation: [examples/example_04_lcoh/cost_example_run.py](examples/example_04_lcoh/cost_example_run.py)
