    Abstract: A control circuit controls fillings speeds of hydrogen gas filling a fuel tank. The control circuit a) receives values of a characteristic of the tank during a process of filling the tank with the hydrogen gas, b) calculates at different times during the filling process the differences between a preset threshold of the characteristic of the tank and the values of the characteristic of the tank received at the different times during the filling process, c) calculates plural filling speeds of the hydrogen gas filling the tank during the filling process, each of the filling speeds depending on one of the plurality of differences between the preset threshold and the values of the characteristic of the tank received at the different times during the filling process, and d) controls an operation of a dispenser for filling the tank with the hydrogen gas at the calculated filling speeds.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for diagnosing failure in a pressure gauge of a hydrogen filling system includes filling a fuel cell vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel with the hydrogen fuel from an accumulator, in which the hydrogen fuel is accumulated, via a dispenser; and acquiring pressure values measured by a plurality of pressure gauges disposed at different positions in a flow passage of the hydrogen fuel between the accumulator and an outlet of the dispenser at timing when a flow rate of the hydrogen fuel to be filled at a stage close to an end of the filling becomes a threshold value or less, determining whether or not a deviation between the pressure values is within a threshold value on the basis of acquired pressure values, and outputting a determination result.

    Abstract: A hydrogen gas filling device includes a reception circuit, a difference calculation circuit, a filling speed calculation circuit, an accumulator, and a filing machine. The reception circuit is configured to receive, from a vehicle equipped with a tank to be filled with hydrogen gas and powered by the hydrogen gas, a value of a parameter of the vehicle. The difference calculation circuit is configured to calculate a difference between a predetermined value and the value of the parameter received from the vehicle. The filling speed calculation circuit is configured to calculate a filling speed of the hydrogen gas depending on the difference. The accumulator is configured to accumulate hydrogen gas. The filling machine is configured to fill the tank with the hydrogen gas from the accumulator at the calculated filling speed. A hydrogen gas filling method includes the operations noted above.

    Abstract: A control device of a gas charging device controls opening/closing of a control valve so that pressure increase rate of gas pressure in a tank when gas charging to the tank increases at a reference increase rate determined in advance. The control device, when gas charge to the tank begins, controls pressure increase rate at a high increase rate higher than the reference increase rate. After the difference between gas pressure in the tank when gas charging is performed at the high increase rate and gas pressure in the tank when the charging is performed at the reference increase rate has reached a predetermined pressure difference, the control device controls the opening/closing of the control valve so that gas charge to the tank is performed at the reference increase rate.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a hydrogen fuel filling system includes a first flow passage through which hydrogen fuel supplied from a pressure accumulator that accumulates hydrogen fuel under pressure passes; a second flow passage through which hydrogen fuel supplied from the pressure accumulator passes, and which is arranged in parallel with the first flow passage; a switching valve that switches flow passages selectively from one of the first and second flow passages to another, or that switches flow passages between one and both of the first and second flow passages; and a control circuit that controls opening/closing of the switching valve, wherein a fuel cell vehicle using hydrogen fuel as a power source is filled with hydrogen fuel while switching the flow passages by the switching valve during supply from the pressure accumulator.
