After finding the Pareto frontier between filling time and total entropy production, it was found that SAE J2601 is suboptimal in terms of these process variables. Specifically, reductions of filling time from 47 to 77% are possible in the analyzed range of ambient temperatures (from 10 to 40 \u00b0C) with higher saving potential the hotter the weather conditions. Maximum entropy production savings with respect to SAE J2601 (7% for 10 \u00b0C, 1% for 40 \u00b0C) demand a longer filling time that increases with ambient temperature (264% for 10 \u00b0C, 350% for 40 \u00b0C). Considering average electricity prices in California, USA, the operating cost of the filling process can be reduced between 8 and 28% without increasing the expected filling time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e26090735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,29]],"date-time":"2024-08-29T03:40:39Z","timestamp":1724902839000},"page":"735","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Entropy Production and Filling Time in Hydrogen Refueling Stations: An Economic Assessment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Bruno F.","family":"Santoro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Op2B\u2014Optimization to Business, Av.
