The continued adoption of hydrogen as a transportation fuel relies on consistent and reliable fueling of fuel cell electric vehicles. Consistent and reliable fueling is obtained through an important key aspect which is compliance with standards such as the Society of Automotive Engineers International J2601 Fueling Protocols for Light Duty Gaseous Hydrogen Surface Vehicles. The Hydrogen Stations Equipment Performance device is a mobile test device that is used to test a refueling station and assure that hydrogen fueling system performs in accordance with regulatory standards.
The overall goal of this Interagency Agreement is to help fund and to follow a standardized Implementation Program (referred to as the California Hydrogen Station Equipment Performance (HyStEP) Implementation Program) deploying the testing device to achieve consistent and accurate testing and to evaluate SAE J2601 compliance within hydrogen refueling stations, as they operate, in California.
