최근 수소자동차 보급의 확대로 수소충전소의 설치가 점차 확대될 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 수소충전소의 최악의 상황을 가정한 시나리오를 기반으로 피해규모를 예측하고 보다 안전한 설계형태를 제안하고자 한다. 피해규모 예측 방법은 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용한 Flacs solver를 사용하였으며 이전 연구자의 실험 결과와 비교하여 정확성을 검증하였다. 피해규모 예측은 수소누출과 폭발에 대해서 실시하였으며, 예측 대상은 실측치를 기반으로 한 KR model로 하였다. 그리고 비교검토 모델로는 천정이 없는 형태인 Roofless model을 선정하였다. 두 모델에 대하여 분석한 결과 KR model에서는 내부가 60 vol% 이상까지 수소가스가 누적·체류되는 현상을 확인 할 수 있었던 반면, Roofless model의 경우에는 누출 후 벽면을 타고 충전소 외부로 방출·확산되는 현상을 확인 할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 국내에 표준모델로 보급·확산되고 있는 수소충전소 모델보다는 천정이 없는 수소 충전소 형태가 안전상 유리한 것으로 검토되었다.

국내의 화학 산업이 지속적으로 발전이 이루어짐에 따라 화학물질의 취급량과 운송량은 매년 증가하고 있다. 우리나라 도로 화물운송은 90%이상을 차지하고 있으며, 화학물질 운송도 대부분 도로를 통해 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 화학물질 운송차량들은 사고가 발생하게 되면 대형사고로 이어질 수 있다. 운송차량은 1차 피해인 교통사고뿐만 아니라 2차 피해인 환경 피해 요인들인 수질오염, 토양오염 등을 발생시킬 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 반포IC와 서초IC 구간을 연구지역으로 설정하여 염화수소 가스 누출에 대한 시나리오를 작성하여, ALOHA 프로그램을 사용하여 예측거리를 측정하고 거리에 따라 염화수소 가스가 도달한 시간을 분석하였다. 또한 GIS를 이용해 시간별로 발생한 피해 영역에 대해서 인구밀도를 이용한 리스크 평가를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 피해 영역에 대해서 예방·대응 방안의 필요성을 제시하였다.

To evaluate the risk of leakage when using liquid hydrogen, a leakage test was conducted using liquid nitrogen in an outdoor environment rather than a laboratory environment. To assume a real-scale continuous leak, liquid nitrogen was allowed to leak for 5 minutes through a pipe with a diameter of 25.4 mm at a design spill rate of 60 L/min. The measurement system consisted of devices for climate conditions, LN2 spread and vapor clouds. The main experimental results are the liquid pool radius and the concentration of vapor cloud, and the radius of the liquid pool was compared with the numerical analysis results.

Hazardous area classification design is required to reduce the explosion risk in process plants. Among the international design guidelines, only IEC 60079-10-1 proposes a new type of zone, namely zone 2 NE, to prevent explosion hazards. We studied how to meet the zone 2 NE grade for a facility handling hydrogen gas, which is considered as most dangerous among explosive gases. Zone 2 NE can be achieved considering the grade of release, as well as the availability and effectiveness of ventilation, which are factors indicative of the facility condition and its surroundings. In the present study, we demonstrate that zone 2 NE can be achieved when the degree of ventilation is high by accessing temperature, pressure, and size of leak hole. The release characteristic can be derived by substituting the process condition of the hydrogen gas facility. The equations are summarized considering relation of the operating temperature, operating pressure, and size of leak hole. Through this relationship, the non-hazardous condition can be realized from the perspective of inherent safety by the combination of each parameter before the initial design of the hydrogen gas facility.

As the hydrogen economy receives attention, much research has been conducted on water electrolysis that can produce green hydrogen. After investigating the various risk factors that exist in the alkaline water electrolysis process through hazard and operability study and job safety analysis, which are risk assessments, measures to ensure safety were prepared and made into a manual. Possible risks that could occur during various emergency stop situations and operations were identified, and leakage of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen used as electrolyte appeared to be the main risk. If you utilize a risk assessment for the relevant equipment when writing a manual, you will be able to prepare work procedures that substantially reduce risk factors.

The basic effects of hydrogen addition for engine performance and emission were investigated in single cylinder research engine. Seven commercial injectors were tested to choose a suitable injector for hydrogen injection prior to its engine implementation. The hydrogen fuel leakage and flow rate were evaluated for each injector and KN3-1(Keihin, CO.) showed the best performance for hydrogen fuel. At the higher excess air ratio(${\lambda}=1.7$, 2.0), the better combustion stability was found with hydrogen addition even though its effect was small at lower excess air ratio (${\lambda}=1.0$, 1.3). Stable operation of the engine was even guaranteed at ${\lambda}=2.0$, if the amount of hydrogen gas was near 15% of total energy. In the lean region, ${\lambda}>1.3$, thermal efficiency was improved slightly while it was not clearly observed at ${\lambda}=1.0$, 1.3. It is considered that, in some cases, high temperature environment due to hydrogen combustion caused further heat loss to surroundings. Except for ${\lambda}=1.0$, with larger amount of hydrogen addition, CO was reduced drastically but it was emitted more at the leaner region. Nitric oxides(NOx) was increased a little more with hydrogen addition at ${\lambda}=1.0$, 1.3. However, at ${\lambda}>1.3$ its relative amount of emission was low. In addition, the amount of NOx was continuously decreased with hydrogen addition, but, at ${\lambda}=2.0$ the amount of NOx was lowered to 1/100 of that of ${\lambda}=1.0$. THC emission was significantly increased as air/fuel ratio was raised to leaner region due to misfire and partial burn.

Recently, hydrogen has gained considerable attention as an eco-friendly fuel, which helps in reducing carbon dioxide content. Specifically, there is a growing interest in vehicles powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which is spotlighted as an environmental-friendly alternative. A hydrogen transport system, fuel cell system, fuel supply system, power management system, and hydrogen storage system are key parts of a hydrogen fuel cell truck. In this study, a hydrogen storage system is built and analyzed. The expansion length of the storage vessel at maximum operating pressure (87.5 MPa) was calculated with ABAQUS, and then the optimized system was designed and built. The leak and bubble tests were performed on the built storage system. The leakage of the system was measured to be under 5 cc/hr. Hence, it can be used as a research test for the safety evaluation of leading systems of hydrogen fuel-powered commercial vehicles.

With the recent development of industrial technology, the problem of odor due to leakage of toxic gas discharged from industrial complexes is gradually increasing. Among them, hydrogen sulfide is a colorless representative odorous substance that can cause pain through irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, and is a gas that can cause central nervous system paralysis and suffocation when exposed to high concentrations. Therefore, in order to improve the odor problem, research on a gas sensor capable of quickly and reliably detecting a leak of hydrogen sulfide is being actively conducted. A lot of research has been done on the existing metal oxide-based hydrogen sulfide gas sensor, but it has the disadvantage of requiring low selectivity and high temperature operating conditions. Therefore, in this study, a Pt/CNT-based electrochemical hydrogen sulfide gas sensor capable of detecting at low temperatures with high selectivity for hydrogen sulfide was developed. A working electrode capable of selectively detecting only hydrogen sulfide was fabricated by synthesizing Pt nanoparticles as a catalyst on functionalized CNT and applied to an electrochemical hydrogen sulfide gas sensor. It was confirmed that the manufactured Pt/CNT-based electrochemical hydrogen sulfide gas sensor has a current change of up to 100uA for hydrogen sulfide, and the both response time and recovery time were within 15 seconds.
