In an effort to streamline and optimize the storage of liquid hydrogen for powering fuel cells in data centers, Google LLC has filed a patent for a comprehensive optimization model.

This model addresses several critical factors involved in hydrogen fuel management, particularly in the context of data centers that require reliable backup power solutions during emergencies.

Hydrogen Fuel Consumption Rates

The patent outlines a method for measuring and utilizing hydrogen fuel consumption rates within data centers. Accurate fuel consumption data allows for the precise calculation of storage needs, ensuring that the facility can maintain operations during power outages or other disruptions.

Refueling Rates from Vendors

A key component of the optimization model involves coordinating with hydrogen fuel vendors. The model takes into account the refueling rates provided by these vendors to ensure a steady supply of hydrogen. This ensures that the fuel cells are always adequately powered and can function seamlessly when their use becomes necessary.

Refueling Response Time

Another important factor considered in the optimization model is the response time for refueling. The model aims to minimize the delay between the request for additional fuel and its delivery, thereby reducing the risk of running out of backup power during critical periods.

Storage Tank Area Constraints

Space in data centers is typically at a premium, which makes efficient storage solutions essential. The optimization model addresses storage tank area constraints, aiming to maximize hydrogen storage capacity within the available space. By optimizing the layout and use of storage tanks, the model ensures that sufficient fuel is easily accessible.

Logistical Refueling Constraints

The optimization model also considers logistical challenges, such as transport routes and refueling schedules. These logistical constraints can affect the timely refueling of hydrogen tanks and thus impact the overall efficiency of the backup power system. The model aims to streamline these processes to ensure that the data center’s fuel cells can always operate efficiently.

Backup Power in Emergencies

The primary goal of the patented optimization model is to provide sufficient fuel within a constrained space for backup power in data centers during emergencies. By addressing hydrogen fuel consumption, refueling logistics, storage constraints, and vendor coordination, the model ensures that data centers remain fully operational when traditional power sources fail.
