ADVANCED HIGH THROUGHPUT COMPRESSION SYSTEM FOR MEDIUM- AND HEAVY-DUTY TRANSPORTATION THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO BUILD AND TEST A NOVEL MODULAR HYDROGEN COMPRESSOR FEATURING HYDRAULIC ACTUATION WHICH WILL ADDRESS THE FLEXIBILITY, SCALABILITY, AND RELIABILITY CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH-FLOW HYDROGEN FUELING STATIONS. AT THE PROJECT’S CONCLUSION A PROTOTYPE COMPRESSOR WILL BE DEMONSTRATED WITH THE CAPABILITY OF COMPRESSING HYDROGEN FROM 120 TO 875 BAR AT A RATE OF 2.5 KG/MIN (WITH A STRETCH GOAL OF 3.75 KG/MIN AT 1000 BAR). THE PROJECT WILL BE SEPARATED INTO TWO BUDGET PERIODS WITH THE FIRST PERIOD FOCUSING ON REFINEMENT OF THE BALANCE OF PLANT AND PREPARATION OF THE COMPRESSOR DESIGN, WHILE THE SECOND BUDGET PERIOD WILL ENTAIL CONSTRUCTING AND TESTING THE PROTOTYPE COMPRESSOR.
