A hydrogen storage tank of a vehicle includes a housing defining an inlet/outlet opening, a control assembly extending into the housing through the opening and comprising a plurality of sensors, and a controller configured to receive signals from the plurality of sensors. The controller of the hydrogen storage tank is configured to, in response to a request for a handshake signal, initiate sending the handshake signal, and in response to the vehicle being started, initiate periodically sending data indicating parameter values received from the plurality of sensors.

Smart hydrogen storage tanks for fuel cell applications

The system comprises a fuel description module structured to provide a first signal, and a control circuit operable to receive the first signal. The fuel description module comprises a fuel consumption detection package. The fuel consumption detection package an intake manifold temperature sensor and an exhaust temperature sensor, wherein the first signal corresponds to a difference between the exhaust manifold temperature (EMT) and the intake manifold temperature (IMT). The control circuit is responsive to the first signal to produce a second signal indicating a total energy content (E) of fuel supplied to the dual-fuel engine. The Evalue indicating the total energy content provided to the engine from a first fuel and a second fuel.
