Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrogen refueling station technology, specifically to a system and method for calculating the amount of hydrogen purchased the following day at a hydrogen filling station. Background Technology

[0002] Large-scale hydrogen filling stations primarily supply hydrogen to other hydrogen-consuming enterprises. These stations are equipped with filling columns; during filling, the columns transfer hydrogen from the station's storage cylinders to long-tube trailers, which then transport the hydrogen to the hydrogen-consuming enterprises.

[0003] Currently, the calculation of the next day's hydrogen purchase volume at hydrogen filling stations is done manually. Specifically, workers record the filling volume of each long-tube trailer by reading its meter, then manually tally the total filling volume for the day, check the remaining hydrogen in the storage tanks, and subtract the remaining volume from the total filling volume to obtain the next day's hydrogen purchase volume. The drawback of this current method is that, during filling, workers rely on the long-tube trailer's meter for measurement. Because the meter is positioned high, factors such as viewing angle can affect the reading, leading to errors in the actual filling volume. This low accuracy results in inaccurate data for the next day's hydrogen purchase volume. If the next day's hydrogen purchase volume is too low, the station's hydrogen reserves may not meet the next day's demand from hydrogen-using enterprises, thus affecting the station's normal operation.
