A hydrogen refueling station including a first and a second dispensing module having first and second dispensing pressure detection means, where supply lines are fluidly connecting a storage module to an inlet compressor line and a compressor outlet line is fluidly connecting an outlet of the compressor to a dispensing line and thereby to the first and/or second dispensing module via output compressor valves, cascade lines are fluidly connecting the hydrogen storage module and the dispenser modules thereby configured for bypassing the compressor, where a controller is configured for controlling valves and thereby a fluid path from the hydrogen storage module to the dispensing modules, the controller is configured for controlling a bypass valve based on feedback from pressure detection means, from a first dispensing pressure detection means or from a second dispensing pressure detection means to establish a required pressure in the compressor outlet line.
