Definitions

  • compressed hydrogen tanks are to be conducted in a manner that prevents the tank from overheating (temperatures exceeding 85°C) during refueling and/or from overfilling the tank to a point at which the pressure could exceed 125% of normal working pressure (NWP) at any time.

  • SOC end of fill density
  • An additional limitation of the refilling procedures defined by SAE TIR J2601 is the lack of any method or procedure for a hydrogen tank filling station to compensate or adjust for situations in which its actual operating conditions fall outside of the allowed tolerances. For example, if the pre-cooling temperature is above the design set point as the result of multiple consecutive refills, the lookup tables defined in SAE TIR J2601 cannot be used. Efforts to avoid this out of specification condition can lead to an overdesigned hydrogen tank filling station (excessive cooling for ensuring that the pre-cooling target temperature is maintained), thereby driving up station cost.
  • the improved MC Method as detailed infra provides a new tank filling model based on the total heat capacity of the hydrogen fueling system and an advanced algorithm based on that model for improving the performance of hydrogen filling stations under a broad range of operating conditions and, in particular, includes additional consideration of heat transfer to the hydrogen from downstream components.
  • This modified algorithm as applied stepwise in the MC Method, can be used to enhance fueling performance relative to that available under SAE TIR J2601 by utilizing additional thermodynamic information about the tank and filling systems.

  • the adiabatic internal energy is based only on initial conditions of the tank (initial mass of hydrogen and initial temperature) and the conditions of the hydrogen delivered from the station (enthalpy and fill mass). There is no dimension of time in the adiabatic condition, and so it is an appropriate reference for results for all time periods. If a reliable method to predict the heat transfer can be found, then it should be possible to directly calculate the final state of the hydrogen in the tank.
  • thermocouple Relative to the bulk temperature, if the thermocouple is measuring a temperature that is warmer or cooler than the average bulk temperature, the calculated values can obviously be less accurate.

Comparing the current fueling standards with the actual operating ranges of existing hydrogen stations, as illustrated in FIG. 1 1 , it is clear that the current refueling standards do not satisfy a broad range of station fuel delivery operating conditions. Further, should a vehicle manufacturer or modifier introduce a tank designed to operate at another pressure of, for example, 50MPa, the fueling standard(s) would have to be rewritten to accommodate this modification.

During the second step, the fueling fill rate is used to determine a target end-of-fill pressure that can keep the system pressure within the target pressure ranges. In order to determine the appropriate fueling rate, the filling station takes into consideration both the capabilities of the vehicle's tank system and the station's capabilities for delivering fuel under the current conditions.

  • the dispenser For the dispenser to make the assumption that the upper bound of gas temperature inside the tank is ambient T plus a AT hot soak, it must know that the vehicle has not been recently refueled. If this information is unknown, then a more conservative assumption should be utilized, e.g., determining the fueling speed based on an empty or nearly empty tank. By using this more conservative assumption, even if the vehicle had been recently refueled, the calculated fueling speed does not overheat the tank.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé analytique amélioré pour les stations de remplissage d'hydrogène afin de calculer directement et précisément la température de fin de remplissage dans un réservoir d'hydrogène lequel, à son tour, permet des améliorations de la quantité de remplissage tout en permettant de réduire le temps de remplissage. Les calculs font intervenir un calcul d'une valeur de capacité thermique composite MC à partir d'un ensemble de paramètres thermodynamiques obtenus à la fois du système de réservoir recevant le gaz et de la station fournissant le gaz. Ces paramètres thermodynamiques sont utilisés dans une série d'équations analytiques afin de définir un processus en plusieurs étapes au moyen duquel des temps de remplissage cibles, des températures finales et des pressions finales peuvent être déterminés. Les paramètres peuvent être communiqués à la station directement à partir du véhicule ou peuvent être récupérés d'une base de données accessible par la station. Comme le procédé est basé sur des mesures directes de conditions thermodynamiques actuelles et d'un comportement thermodynamique quantifié, on peut obtenir des résultats de remplissage de réservoir nettement améliorés.
