MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF HYDROGEN FAST FILLING PROCESSES
This study employs a numerical simulation method to establish a comprehensive simulation and analysis model for the fast refueling process at large-scale refueling stations for hydrogen trains. The investigation focuses on analyzing the influence of various refueling parameters on the hydrogen conditions within the train's storage tank during the rapid refueling process. The findings reveal that a three-stage compression proves to be the most economically viable compression method. A discrepancy of 108 kg/h in the refueling rate results in an approximate 5 K difference in the hydrogen temperature within the storage tank post-refueling
along with an approximately 20 kW variance in heat exchange with the environment. Furthermore
the pre-cooling temperature is identified as a factor affecting hydrogen temperature and refueling time. In scenarios where the initial pressure varies by 3/5 MPa
the refueling time exhibits an approximate difference of 40/60 seconds.
