Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing a hydrogen storage and distribution system. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes an apparatus comprising memory and one or more processors to execute instructions to detect, via hydrogen concentration data, an elevated hydrogen concentration at a hydrogen storage system, determine a mass flow rate of a leak associated with the elevated hydrogen concentration based on the hydrogen concentration data and a location of a sensor associated with the hydrogen concentration data, and mitigate the leak by sending a signal to one or more controllable features of the hydrogen storage system based on the determined mass flow rate.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- memory;
- and
- one or more processors to execute instructions to:
- detect, via hydrogen concentration data, an elevated hydrogen concentration at a hydrogen storage system;
- determine a mass flow rate of a leak associated with the elevated hydrogen concentration based on the hydrogen concentration data and a location of a sensor associated with the hydrogen concentration data, the one or more processors further execute instructions to determine the mass flow rate by executing instructions to:
- identify a first model data set of a plurality of model data sets based on a similarity of the first model data set with the hydrogen concentration data, each of the plurality of model data sets associated with a corresponding simulated leak in the hydrogen storage system;
- and
- determine the mass flow rate based on a simulated mass flow rate of the first model data set;
- and
- mitigate the leak by sending a signal to one or more controllable features of the hydrogen storage system based on the determined mass flow rate.
