On site conversion of water into hydrogen with Proton-Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer Cell (PEMEC) is a feasible process to meet future demands. The functioning of a composite system model of an on-site hydrogen refueling station with a (PEMEC) is focused in this study. According to the electrochemical theory, MATLAB is used to calculate the performance curve of the electrolysis cell, and then the electrochemical program is embedded in the commercial software Thermolib for serial connection. And the scale of the stack is expanded to 500 kW, which can simulate different temperatures, flow rates and materials. The influence of parameters on electrolysis performance, the sensitivity of various parameters to hydrogen production, and thermodynamic characteristics and electrolysis power were investigated. This two fueling methods “look up table” and “MC formula” method with in SAE J2601 protocol is followed in this hydrogen refueling station study to calculate the fuel flow rate from the ambient temperature, cooling temperature and initial pressure. In this simulation study: (1) the complete process of compressing hydrogen and hydrogen generation; (2) various hydrogen storage pressure levels to decrease the energy consumption by compressor under different ambient temperatures; and (3) the influence of different hydrogen refueling methods and pre-cooling temperatures on system energy consumption and performance are discussed. The research results show that, the conductivity of the electrolyte as the most important parameter affecting the performance of the electrolysis cell. Also, compressor consumes lower energy when low, medium and high hydrogen storage tanks are at 35 MPa, 55 MPa and 90 MPa respectively. The lookup table method saves 0.02 kWh of electricity consumption of T40 hydrogen refueling station for every kilogram of hydrogen at a pre-cooling temperature of -33 oC. Where as at pre-cooling temperature of -40 oC, the MC formula method has 33% shorter hydrogen refueling time than the lookup table method. A hydrogen refueling station working parameters for higher performance and lower power consumption can be designed with thermos-fluid simulations. This study is useful for designing a hydrogen refueling station.
