Abstract

Demand for hydrogen as a renewable energy resource is increasing. However, unlike conventional fossil fuels, hydrogen requires a dedicated refueling station for fuel supply. A risk assessment of hydrogen refueling stations must be undertaken to secure the infrastructure. Therefore, in this study, a risk assessment for hydrogen refueling stations was conducted through both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments. For the qualitative evaluation, the hydrogen dispenser module was evaluated as two nodes using the hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis. The risk due to filter clogging and high-pressure accidents was evaluated to be high according to the criticality estimation matrix. For the quantitative risk assessment, the Hydrogen Korea Risk Assessment Module (Hy-KoRAM) was used to indicate the shape of the fire and the range of damage impact, and to evaluate the individual and social risks. The individual risk level was determined of to be as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Additional safety measures proposed include placing the hydrogen refueling station about 100m away from public facilities. The social risk level was derived as 1E-04/year, with a frequency of approximately 10 deaths, falling within the ALARP range. As a result of the qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, additional safety measures for the process and a safety improvement plan are proposed through the establishment of a restricted area near the hydrogen refueling station.

신재생에너지로서 수소에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으나 기존의 화석 연료와 달리 수소는 연료 공급을 위한 전용 충전소가 필요하며, 이러한 인프라 확보를 위해서 수소충전소의 위험성 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정성적 위험성평가와 정량적 위험성 평가로 구분하여 수소충전소에 대한 위험성평가를 수행하였다. 정성적 평가는 Hazard and Operability Analysis(HAZOP) 기법을 사용하여 Dispenser Module을 두 개의 Node로 평가하였으며, Criticality Estimation Matrix에 따라 Filter의 막힘으로 인한 사고와 고압 사고의 위험도가 High Level로 평가되었다. 정량적 위험성 평가는 Hydrogen Korea Risk Assessment Module(Hy-KoRAM)을 사용하여 화재의 형상과 피해영향범위를 나타냈고, 개인적 위험도와 사회적 위험도에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 개인적 위험도는 수소충전소로부터 약 100m 떨어진 공공시설 부근까지 추가적인 안전조치가 고려되는 As Low As Reasonably Practicable(ALARP) 구간의 위험도를 보였고, 사회적 위험도 역시 약 10명의 사망자가 발생할 사고빈도가 1E-04/year로 도출되며 ALARP 구간 내에 나타났다. 정성적·정량적 위험성 평가 결과, 공정 단계의 추가적인 안전 조치와 수소충전소 부근의 제한구역 설정을 통하여 안전성 향상 방안을 제시하였다.
