Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to an optimization model for storing liquid hydrogen to power fuel cells in data centers. The optimization model can be based on hydrogen fuel consumption rates in the data center, refueling rates from vendors, refueling response time, storage tank area constraints in the data center, and/or logistical refueling constraints. The optimization model can allow for providing sufficient fuel within a constrained space for backup power in the data center, such as when an emergency arises.
