H2FIRST Reference Station Design Task

Terlip, Danny; Pratt, Joseph W.; Elgowainy, Amgad; Ainscough, Chris; Kurtz, Jennifer

The goal of the H2FIRST Reference Station Design Task is to accelerate acceptance of hydrogen infrastructure build-out by exploring the advantages and disadvantages of various station designs. It is hoped that these reference designs will help reduce the cost and speed the deployment of hydrogen stations by providing a common baseline with which to start a design. These designs enable quick assessment of the suitability of a particular site for a hydrogen station, and they drive interchangeability of parts and manufacturing scale by employing uniformly-sized components. The station configurations evaluated in this report are not all inclusive. It is not intent to promote any specific station configuration or exclude any designs, but rather provide a rigorous analysis of a subset of likely near-term station configurations.
