Abstract
The growing adoption of renewable energy sources (RESs) and zero-emission vehicles, such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), emphasizes the coupling of the transportation system (TS) and the hydrogen system (HS), which, in turn, are also linked to the power system. Due to cost efficiency, hydrogen is primarily distributed by tube trailers, which are thus affected by traffic congestion and route selection. In this work, we propose a novel sequential approach to model the integrated operation of the HS and TS. First, a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model is introduced for the TS. This model captures the spatio-temporal dynamics of FCV and gasoline vehicle flows on roads and incorporates paths with diverse physical features, such as speed limits, lane configurations, blockages, and traffic lights, yielding results that better reflect real-world conditions. Subsequently, a traffic analyzer algorithm determines waiting times on the TS roads by analyzing vehicle inflows and outflows derived from the DTA model results. Next, the data obtained from the traffic analyzer are used by a time-variant Floyd algorithm to find the shortest path based on distance and congestion. Finally, a mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed to schedule the HS, minimizing RES energy spillage and optimizing tube trailer trajectories. The performance of the proposed approach is illustrated with a case study based on the city of Sioux Falls, USA.
