Abstract

Hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) are vital infrastructure for advancing the hydrogen energy industry, with their siting and layout holding significant economic and societal implications. Currently, literature concerning the siting of HRSs lacks detailed exploration of equipment costs and fails to consider the various types of HRSs. To address the existing gaps, the paper, considering hydrogen sources and transportation., constructs two mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) models for highway HRS siting, aiming to minimize the unit hydrogen cost (UHC). One of the models considers external hydrogen refueling stations (EHRSs) and on-site hydrogen production stations (OHRSs). A highway is used as a research object to verify the validity of the model, and the layout of HRSs under the optimization of the two models is provided. The results show that the model considering the type of HRSs can effectively reduce the UHC. Compared with the model without considering the type of HRSs, the UHC is reduced by 0.4 CNY/kg, and the total cost can be saved by 794,000 CNY per year. In addition, the capacity sensitivity analysis reveals that as the capacity of the HRSs increases, the difference between the total cost and the UHC of the two models becomes larger and larger. In view of this, it is recommended that the combined layout of EHRSs and OHRSs should be fully considered when planning highway HRSs in the future.
