Numerical Analysis of the Optimal Distribution of Hydrogen Filling Stations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Hydrogen Energy Engineering

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

This chapter describes possible numerical analysis for optimizing the distribution of hydrogen filling station. An algorithm is described to simulate the optimal geographical distribution of new hydrogen stations. A case study to specify possible locations of additional hydrogen filling stations in Japan is described, using statistical data on traffic flow, local employee numbers, and population in each region.
