Facility Location Problem of Stationary and Mobile Hydrogen Refueling Stations Considering Transport Risk for Hydrogen
摘要
This paper investigates the impact of combined operations of stationary hydrogen refueling station (SHRS) and mobile hydrogen refueling station (MHRS) on the economics and risk of hydrogen transportation. In terms of economic efficiency, the MHRS is effective in the transitional period to a hydrogen society with low demand, and its operation in combination with the SHRS is efficient. When focusing on hydrogen transportation risk, while SHRS is located in urban areas and city centers with high hydrogen demand, MHRS is more likely to be located in rural areas and outskirts of cities with low demand posing greater transportation risk than expected. For future detailed analysis, it is necessary to calculate the acceptable risk for each municipality and to optimize the facility location and transportation routes for MHRS and SHRS considering multi-period and multi-hydrogen carriers.
