Dynamic simulation of the effect of vehicle-side pressure loss of hydrogen fueling process
This study explains the fundamental mathematical equations used for the main component models that are implemented in freely available library for hydrogen fueling station. The paper provides a background to the model formulation and theory, useful for the further investigations of hydrogen fueling stations. The model was verified against a specific manufacturer model, and it was validated by using test data from an actual fueling station. The study works as documentation and validation of the model formulation. The simulation library is used to make a model for investigating how the pressure loss in the vehicle affects the fueling process. Keeping the temperature out of the station constant and fueling to 80 MPa in the compressed hydrogen storage system, the pressure loss in the compressed hydrogen storage system directly correlates to the final temperature. The final temperature increases with increasing pressure losses. It is also shown that with no pressure loss in the vehicle the fueling has no limit in fueling speed as the heat of compression depends on the mass filled and the enthalpy of the mass, and not the filling time.
