10919400 · 2021-02-16 · ·

Validating of a fill control formula used by a hydrogen dispenser for dispensing hydrogen is described. Template data of the hydrogen dispenser related to dispensing of hydrogen by the hydrogen dispenser over a period of time is received, as well as static parameter values. One or more fill operations for dispensing hydrogen to one or more hydrogen fuel tanks may be simulated based on the template data and static parameters, as well as based on the fill control formula utilized in the hydrogen dispenser. A comparison of one or more fill operation parameter values calculated by simulating the one or more fill operations and one or more values of one or more similar fill operation parameters in the template data may be output on a user interface.
