Hydrogen has gained significant attention in recent years as a clean and sustainable energy source, with the potential to revolutionize the energy industry. However, one of the challenges associated with hydrogen as an energy source is its storage and transportation. Hydrogen is a highly compressible gas, making it difficult to store and transport in its natural state. The study presents different varieties of hydrogen tanks that are used for the storage and transportation of hydrogen gas. The methods for compressing hydrogen are described, with a focus on their advantages and disadvantages. The study concludes by comparing different methods for compressing hydrogen and discussing the factors that influence the choice of method for a specific application. The importance of continued research and development in this area is emphasised, as the efficient compression of hydrogen is crucial for the widespread adoption of hydrogen as a clean and renewable energy source. Life cycle cost analysis can evaluate the economic feasibility of using different hydrogen compressor technologies by estimating the total cost of owning and operating the compressors over their entire lifespan.

A reasonable inflating strategy must be developed for filling an onboard hydrogen storage tank with hydrogen gas. The inflow hydrogen temperature has always been a constant value in filling cases. However, in our opinion, the optimal inflow hydrogen temperature is not supposed to be a fixed value but a value that constantly changes and adjusts with filling time, i.e., the inflow hydrogen temperature is a function of the filling time. How to determine this functional relationship is a critical problem to be addressed. Herein, an approach is introduced. A dual-zone model is presented to research the thermal effect during the process of charging hydrogen storage tanks. Based on the numerical results of the dual-zone model, the charging process was divided into three stages, allowing us to obtain data for 1331 filling cases. Then, a back propagation (BP) neural network model was built to analyze the data, and the implicit relationship between the inflow hydrogen temperatures and maximum hydrogen temperature pressure could be deduced. With this implicit relationship, the critical values of the inflow hydrogen temperatures can be obtained from the critical situation. Suppose the inflow hydrogen temperatures in a practical case are higher than the critical values. In that case, the highest hydrogen temperature in the tank will exceed the limited safety value of 358 K. In contrast, if the inflow hydrogen temperatures are lower than the critical values, then more energy will be needed to precool the inlet hydrogen temperature. Thus, theoretically, the critical inflow hydrogen temperatures should be at their optimal values.

“…Galassi et al performed CFD simulations for hydrogen fast filling (up to 70 MPa) to evaluate the hydrogen temperature inside the tank during this process [18]. Although there is a focus on modeling the process of filling cylinders with hydrogen [19][20][21][22][23], some studies have also explored the thermodynamic parameters involved in the rapid filling of cylinders with compressed natural gas (types III and IV) [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. This research, therefore, serves to critically analyze, compare, and provide new insights into the operational intricacies of hydrogen and CNG filling processes, contributing towards more efficient, safer, and cost-effective strategies for high-pressure gas storage in composite cylinders.…”

Alternative fuels such as hydrogen, compressed natural gas, and liquefied natural gas are considered as feasible energy carriers. Selected positive factors from the EU climate and energy policy on achieving climate neutrality by 2050 highlighted the need for the gradual expansion of the infrastructure for alternative fuel. In this research, continuity equations and the first and second laws of thermodynamics were used to develop a theoretical model to explore the impact of hydrogen and natural gas on both the filling process and the ultimate in-cylinder conditions of a type IV composite cylinder (20 MPa for CNG, 35 MPa and 70 MPa for hydrogen). A composite tank was considered an adiabatic system. Within this study, based on the GERG-2008 equation of state, a thermodynamic model was developed to compare and determine the influence of (i) hydrogen and (ii) natural gas on the selected thermodynamic parameters during the fast-filling process. The obtained results show that the cylinder-filling time, depending on the cylinder capacity, is approximately 36–37% shorter for pure hydrogen compared to pure methane, and the maximum energy stored in the storage tank for pure hydrogen is approximately 28% lower compared to methane, whereas the total entropy generation for pure hydrogen is approximately 52% higher compared to pure methane.
