Hydrogen fueling with integrity checks
First Claim
1. A system for hydrogen fueling with integrity checks, comprising:
- a communication component receiving one or more communicated parameters at one or more time intervals, wherein one or more of the communicated parameters relates to a compressed hydrogen storage system (CHSS) tank of a vehicle to be fueled with hydrogen fuel;
a calculation component calculating one or more calculated parameters related to the CHSS tank of the vehicle based on;
a mass of hydrogen fuel dispensed by a hydrogen fueling station from a reference point to one or more of the time intervals; and
one or more densities of the CHSS tank of the vehicle at one or more of the time intervals;
an error component calculating a tank volume error based on one or more of the communicated parameters and one or more of the calculated parameters at one or more of the time intervals;
a controller determining one or more fueling modes for the hydrogen fueling station based on the tank volume error and implementing a fall forward ramp rate equation or a fall back ramp rate equation based on a change in fueling modes; and
dispensing the hydrogen fuel based on one or more of the determined fueling modes and the implemented fall forward or fall back ramp rate equation,wherein the controller implementing the fall forward ramp rate equation accounts for a slower portion of fueling by setting a ramp rate greater than a predetermined average pressure ramp rate (APRR).

Abstract
According to one or more aspects, systems and techniques for hydrogen fueling with integrity checks are provided herein. Communicated parameters measured by on-board sensors of a vehicle may be cross-referenced against calculated parameters measured by sensors of a fueling station. For example, communicated parameters relating to a compressed hydrogen storage system (CHSS) tank of a vehicle to be fueled may be received at different time intervals. Calculated parameters may be calculated based on a mass of hydrogen fuel dispensed by a hydrogen fueling station from a reference point to one of the time intervals and densities of the CHSS tank of the vehicle at respective time intervals. An error may be calculated between the communicated parameters and the calculated parameters. A fueling mode, such as a conservative fueling mode or a non-conservative fueling mode, may be determined based on the calculated error.
