Hydrogen is a potential fuel in pursuit of a green transportation future. Challenges facing the development of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (HFVs) include the competition with plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and the infancy stage of infrastructure. To address these challenges, this paper presents and evaluates optimal planning of hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) considering the interactions between the transportation and the power networks. The first part of the paper develops models of 1) HFV traffic flows on a highway network with driving range constraints, 2) operations of on-site hydrogen production and storage, 3) service rate requirements, and 4) the coupled high-voltage power distribution network with AC power flows. The second part of the paper formulates a mixed-integer second order cone program (MISOCP) to determine 1) the sites and the sizes of HRSs, 2) hourly HRS operations and 3) grid reinforcement. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of our design. The major finding is that the HFV infrastructure system is likely to be more costly than its PEV counterpart, but has significant cost-saving potential if increasing the driving range, applying time-based electricity rates and integrating renewable distributed electricity generation.
