Metal hydride based hydrogen storage under moderate temperature and pressure gives the safety advantage over the gas and liquid storage methods. Still solid-state hydrogen storage including metal hydride is below the DOE target level for automotive applications, but it can be adapted to stationary or miliary application reasonably. In order to develop a modular solid state hydrogen storage system that can be applied to a distributed power supply system composed of renewable energy - water electrolysis - fuel cell, the heat transfer and hydrogen storage characteristics of the metal hydride necessary for the module system design were investigated using AB5 type metal hydride, LCN2 ($La_{0.9}Ce_{0.1}Ni_5$). The planetary high energy mill (PHEM) treatment of LCN2 confirmed the initial hydrogen storage activation and hydrogen storage capacity through surface modification of LCN2 material. Expanded natural graphite (ENG) addition to LCN2, and compression molding at 500 atm improved the thermal conductivity of the solid hydrogen storage material.

In recent years, it is very important that hydrogen storage system is safe for user in any circumstances in case of crash and fire. Because the hydrogen vehicle usually carry high pressurized cylinders, it is necessary to do safety design for fire. The Global Technical Regulation (GTR) has been enacted for localized and engulfing fire test. High pressure hydrogen storage system of fuel cell electrical vehicles are equipped with Thermal Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) installed in pressured tank cylinder to prevent the explosion of the tank during a fire. TPRDs are safety devices that perceive a fire and release gas in the pressure tank cylinder before it is exploded. In this paper, we observed the localized and engulfing behavior of tank safety, regarding the difference of size and types of the tanks in accordance with GTR.

We have concentrated on the performance improvement of each part for durability, safety and cost of high pressure storage system for fuel cell vehicle so far. But for the mass production of fuel cell vehicle, it is necessary to evaluate durability and safety in system module. We built the standard to evaluate vibration and collision safety of high pressure storage system for fuel cell vehicle, and could verify reliability of high pressure storage system.

In this study, a compact hydrogen liquefaction system was constructed with the aim of creating a data storage and monitoring program for liquid hydrogen production. This program was designed to receive and record signals from diverse control equipment through the LabVIEW software. A range of measurement instruments were devised to collect data, encompassing variables such as flow rate, pressure, temperature, and liquid level. As a result, it was possible to directly check the production of liquid hydrogen by obtaining various data of condensed liquid hydrogen. In addition, it was confirmed that long-term storage of liquid hydrogen is possible by developing automatic ON/OFF through the LabVIEW program.

Recently, a miniaturized measurement cell of effective thermal conductivity was developed to evaulate the heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen stroage material in the initial step of its development. In this work, the realiablity issues which can occur from this miniaturization of measurement cell were studied in detail by both experiments and numerical simulation of heat transfer. $LaNi_5$ as a reference was used for the reliability evaluation of the miniaturized measurement cell. Numerical simulations of heat transfer for this measurement system were verified through comparison with the experimental data. Under these reliablity studies, we discuss how to overcome the inherent drawbacks of this miniaturized system in order to achieve the high reliability.

Hydrogen($H_2$) as a clean, and renewable energy carrier will be served an important role in the future energy economy. Several biological $H_2$ production processes are known and currently under development, ranging from direct bio-photolysis of water by green algae, indirect bio-photolysis by cyanobacteria including the separated two stage photolysis using the combination of green algae and photosynthetic microorganisms or green algae alone, dark anaerobic fermentation by fermentative bacteria, photo-fermentation by purple bacteria, and water gas shift reaction by photosynthetic or fermentative bacteria. In this paper, biological $H_2$ production processes, that are being explored in fundamental and applied research, are reviewed.

1973년 OPEC가 원유 수출을 규제하면서 일어난 석유 위기는 국내는 물론 세계에 큰 충격을 주었다. 더욱 석유, 석탄 등의 화석연료 중 석유자원의 고갈에 대한 불안과 화석연료의 연소로 인한 대기오염, 환경파괴에 대한 불안이 증대되었다. 이를 계기로 화석연료를 대신하는 새로운 에너지 자원의 개발과 효율적인 에너지 이용시스템의 개발이 세계 각국에서 착실히 진행되었다. 즉, 에너지 정세의 변화, 지구 환경문제의 대응, 새로운 에너지 기술개발 대책은 절대적으로 필요하고, 21세기의 장기 전망에서 보면, 에너지 문제는 매우 심각한 사태라는 것은 의심할 여지가 없다.

Hydrogen is a fuel having the highest energy compared with other common fuels. This means hydrogen is a clean energy source for the future. However, using hydrogen as a fuel has implication regarding carrier and storage issues, as hydrogen is highly inflammable and unstable gas susceptible to explosion. Explosions resulting from hydrogen-air mixtures have already been encountered and well documented in research experiments. However, there are still large gaps in this research field as the use of numerical tools and field experiments are required to fully understand the safety measures necessary to prevent hydrogen explosions. The purpose of this present study is to develop and simulate 3D numerical modelling of an existing hydrogen gas station in Jeonju by using handheld LiDAR and Ansys AUTODYN, as well as the processing of point cloud scans and use of cloud dataset to develop FEM 3D meshed model for the numerical simulation to predict peak-over pressures. The results show that the Lidar scanning technique combined with the ANSYS AUTODYN can help to determine the safety distance and as well as construct, simulate and predict the peak over-pressures for hydrogen refueling station explosions.

현재 국내 수소 관련 연구는 생산, 운반, 저장 등 공급과정의 기술과 발전, 수송 등 이용기술을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 개발 중인 MCFC 발전설비에 대한 기술 및 비용 특성을 이용하여 LEAP모형시스템 기반의 ROK2003-H2 모형을 구축하고 정부의 '제2차 신재생에너지 기술개발 및 이용보급 기본계획$(2003\~2012)$'의 계획에 따른 수소에너지(연료전지) 보급의 에너지/환경부문 파급효과를 분석한다. 분석 대상이 되는 기술은 Molten Carbonate 연료전지를 이용한 2MW급 발전기술로, 2008년 70MW가 설치되기 시작하여 2011년까지 매년 100MW증설되어 2011년 전체 설비가 370MW에 이르는 것으로 시나리오를 구축한다. 설비의 에너지효율성은 연료전지 발전설비가 처음 도입된 2008년에는 $45\%$로 가정하고 2009년-2011년 간에 $5\%$씩 상승되어 2011년에는 $60\%$에 이를 것으로 전망한다. 분석결과에 의하면 2011년에 연료전지의 발전설비를 370MW로 확대하는 경우에 CO를 비롯한 대부분의 대기오염배출량이 감소하며, 온실가스 배출량 역시 35,433백만tC로 약 295백만tC가 감소한다.

The test method on the Type II high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks made of the metal wire hoop winding is a complex and high risk. Also closeup on the tank being test is difficult. In this study, we studied a mechanical test method for a high-pressure hydrogen tanks. This method must be simple, risk-free and possible to observe the change in microscopic behavior of a metal wire on a liner. As the results, it was possible to observe the microscopic behavior on the metal wire by the mechanical test method. Also, a simple and risk-free test was possible compared to the conventional test method for high pressure hydrogen tanks.
