System and method for refueling hydrogen vehicles

A method for operating a system that refuels a fleet of hydrogen fueled vehicles, the system having:

• a bulk hydrogen storage tank that stores hydrogen fuel;
• a pump/chiller assembly having a compressor configured to pump hydrogen fuel and a chiller configured to chill the hydrogen fuel;
• and a plurality of high pressure hydrogen dispensers configured to selectively couple to a corresponding plurality of hydrogen fueled vehicles of a fleet of vehicles simultaneously connected to the system at a single co-located facility, the method comprising:
• receiving, at a controller, fleet parameters indicative of operating conditions of the fleet of vehicles;
• receiving, at the controller, refueler data indicative of operating conditions of the system, the refueler data comprising operating condition data from the pump/chiller assembly and the plurality of high pressure hydrogen dispensers;
• determining, at the controller and based on the fleet parameters and the refueler data, optimal operating parameters used to achieve efficient refueling of the fleet of vehicles;
• and
• implementing the optimal operating parameters into the pump/chiller assembly and the plurality of high pressure hydrogen dispensers.
