The analysis of temperature behavior of a hydrogen tank during refueling is of significance to clarify the safety of the compressed hydrogen storage in vehicles since the temperature at a tank rises with inflow of hydrogen. A mass balance and an energy balance were combined to obtain analytical model for temperature change during the hydrogen refueling. The equation was coupled to Peng-Robinson-Gasem (PRG) equation of state (EOS) for hydrogen. The PRG EOS was adopted after comparison with other four different cubic EOSs. A parameter of the model was determined to fit data from experiments of various inlet flow rates and temperatures. The temperature and pressure change with refueling time were obtained by the developed model. The calculation results revealed that the extent of precooling was more effective than the flow rate control.

The adoption of hydrogen-powered Elec is expanding globally. Hydrogen is recognized as a potentially hazardous energy source, and safety assessment is crucial for the development of plans to supply hydrogen-powered electric buses. Hydrogen gas leakage can have a significant impact during bus operations, and continuous hydrogen leakage in hydrogen-powered vehicles can result in fatal accidents. In this study, information about hydrogen leakage is collected through sensors installed within the vehicles and is measured when the sensor detects a leak. The study also proposes the use of Pseudo Fuel Leakage (PFL, %) as an additional indicator for evaluating and monitoring hydrogen safety and leakage.

제조식 수소충전소에서 생산되는 수소가스는 일반적으로 석탄연료의 개질 및 부생가스 등을 활용하지만 순수물을 활용한 수전해 기술의 경우 청정한 기술로 각광 받고 있다. 전기에너지를 이용하여 순수한 물로부터 수소를 생산하는 기술 중에는 향후 가격 및 성능 경쟁에서 우수한 PEM(Polymer Electrolyte Membrane electrolysis)을 이용한 개발이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 수소충전소 중 개발단계에 있는 PEM 수전해 수소충전소에 대해 잠재된 유해위험요소를 확인하여 안전한 수소생산 및 수소충전소의 활성화를 도모하고자 한다. 유해위험요소를 도출하기 위해서는 수전해 수소충전소의 설비 및 장치의 안전성이 우선 확보되어야하기에 FMEA(Failure Mode & Effect Analysis)를 수행함으로써 수전해 및 수소충전소의 설비에서의 유해위험요인을 분석하였다.

This paper deals with an economic evaluation of hydrogen production by fermentation. We evaluate the economic feasibility of domestic hydrogen production by fermentation utilizing glucose and waste water sludge in terms of hydrogen production prices. In addition, we make some sensitivity analysis of hydrogen prices by changing the values of input factors such as the price of glucose, the capital cost of the hydrogen production system, and the hydrogen production yields. The estimated hydrogen prices of the two-step dark-light hydrogen production by fermentation utilizing glucose was $5,347won/kgH_2$, and the single-step hydrogen production by anaerobic fermentation utilizing waste water sludge was $4,255won/kgH_2$, respectively. It is expected that the hydrogen production price by anaerobic fermentation can be reduced if we produce methane or hydrogen utilizing by-products such as alcohols and organic acids, or the government imposes some legal regulations on the treatment of waste water sludge.

It can be obtained from hydrocarbon and water, specially production of hydrogen from natural gas is most commercial and economical process among the hydrogen production methods, and has been used widely. However, conventional hydrogen production methods are dependent on fossil fuel such as natural gas and coal, and it may be faced with problems such as exhaustion of fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gas and increase of feedstock price. Thermochemical hydrogen production by nuclear energy has potential to efficiently produce large quantities of hydrogen without producing greenhouse gases. However, nuclear hydrogen must be economical comparing with conventional hydrogen production method. Therefore, hydrogen production cost was analyzed and estimated for nuclear hydrogen as well as conventional hydrogen production such as natural gas reforming and coal gasification in various range.

Pollution emission control of the 20th century, for transportation energy, are being enhanced, and then as alternative to this, because hydrogen emit only water gas emissions to be environmentally friendly energy, so hydrogen as a sustainable clean energy is in the limelight. Used in compressed natural gas engines to mix hydrogen and natural gas in both domestic and international technology development and demonstration is being carried out. The hydrogen-compressed natural gas(HCNG) charging infrastructure can be used to build a hydrogen infrastructure in the transitional aspects of a future hydrogen economy society. In this paper, for a demonstration of HCNG charging infrastructure we made and operated a $30Nm^3/h$ hydrogen generating unit and analyzed the result of the operation. We was identified the operating conditions of a reforming reactor and water gas shift reactor from an analysis result, the thermal efficiency was calculated according to the operating conditions of the total hydrogen production process.

In this paper, the coupled model with hydrogen transport and elasto-plasticity behavior is introduced. This model is implemented to the general-purpose FE code, ABAQUS, via the user-defined subroutine UMAT and UMATHT. In UMAT, the spatial gradients of hydrostatic stress and hydrogen induced deformation are calculated, and then are passed into UMATHT. Heat transfer equation within UMATHT is substituted by hydrogen transport equation including the effects of stress states and strain hardening. To validate this model, the finite element analyses coupled with hydrogen transport and mechanical loading are performed for the boundary layer specimens with low and high strength steel properties. The FE results are compared with the previous studies by Taha and Sofronis (2001).

In case of commercializing of the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the suitable emergency response guide is necessary to prepare an accident. In order to suggest the suitable guide for the domestic affairs, the existing external guide about GM, Ford, Honda, and Hyundai was reviewed. The emergency response guides in CAFCP and main FC vehicle makers were included in the analysis. As the results, it was found that the design and make of vehicle for the domestic user are demanded in the emergency response and the guide is made with the shut-down manual picked out for the rescuer and repair man as well as user.

Hydrogen is considered a key energy source to achieve carbon neutrality through the global goal of 'Net Zero'. Due to limitations in domestic green hydrogen production, Korean companies are interested in importing green hydrogen produced overseas. Because Australia and the Middle East possess high-quality renewable energy resources, they are attracting attention as suitable regions for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. The cost of constructing and operating a green ammonia plant varies depending on the region. In this study, an economic feasibility comparison of green ammonia plant construction in Australia and the Middle East is conducted. Through this, it is expected to contribute to the economic analysis and feasibility analysis of the project to import hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Korea.

In the present study, the diffusion process of hydrogen leaking from a FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) in an underground parking lot was analyzed by numerical simulations in order to assess the risk of a leakage accident. The temporal and spatial changes of the hydrogen concentration as well as the flammable region in the parking lot were predicted numerically. The effects of the leakage flow rate and an additional ventilation fan were investigated to evaluate the ventilation performance in the parking lot to relieve the accumulation of the leaked hydrogen gas. The present numerical analysis can provide useful information such as the distribution of the leaked hydrogen concentration for safety of various hydrogen applications.
