Assessment of Heavy-Duty Fueling Methods and Components-Modeling and Analysis

The goal of the Assessment of Heavy-Duty Fueling Methods and Components project was to comprehensively assess heavy-duty (HD) fuel cell electric vehicle fueling protocols and their effects on techno-economic assessments (TEA) and total cost of ownership (TCO). The project leveraged and built upon ongoing international HD fueling protocols and fueling component development activities to deliver component performance assessments, modeling tools and methods evaluations, TEA of industry-selected protocol structures, and experimental validations of the strategies at the station scale. The effects of the protocols on the fueling times, station costs, and TCO were explored. Fueling time, which was influenced by temperature and protocol selection, had a large impact on the station cost due to component sizing and satisfying hourly demand. As the fleet size increased, the station cost was shown to exponentially decrease by achieving economies of scale. Technology year and fuel economy were the largest contributors to the TCO; however, the choice of fueling protocol had a minor impact on the TCO.
