System and method for refueling hydrogen vehicles

Abstract

A system and method for refueling a fleet of hydrogen fueled vehicles is provided. The system includes a bulk hydrogen storage tank, a pump/chiller assembly, a plurality of high pressure hydrogen dispenser and a controller. The pump/chiller assembly includes a compressor configured to pump hydrogen fuel and a chiller configured to chill the hydrogen fuel. The plurality of high pressure hydrogen dispensers are configured to selectively couple to a corresponding plurality of hydrogen fueled vehicles of a fleet of vehicles. The controller: receives fleet parameters indicative of operating conditions of the fleet of vehicles; receives refueler data indicative of operating conditions of the system; determines, based on the fleet parameters and the refueler data, optimal operating parameters used to achieve efficient refueling of the fleet of vehicles; and implements the optimal operating parameters into the system.
