Hydrogen will be a future eco-friendly energy source that can replace current fossil fuels However when hydrogen gas leaks and people inhale a lot of hydrogen gases, they can have fatal effects fell into comas. Therefore, we need to develop a safety technology and related guidelines for reducing risks of hydrogen leakage. In this regard, we carried out demonstration tests assuming a situation of hydrogen leakage. Before the experiments, we analyze the standards for governor facilities to check vent positions and sensor positions. Then, we select four types of ventilation structures and proceeds with the experiments of hydrogen leakage at 1 LPM and 1.5 LPM. Based on the experimental results, we propose the direction on optimization of vent positions and sensor positions in the hydrogen leakage situation.

As the hydrogen industry grows, expansion of infrastructure for hydrogen supply is required, but the safety of hydrogen facilities is concerned due to the recent accidents at the Gangneung hydrogen tank and the Norwegian hydrogen fueling station. In this study, the damage range and impact analysis on the on-site hydrogen fueling station was conducted using Hy-KoRAM. This is a domestically developed program that adds functions based on HyRAM. Through this risk assessment, it was evaluated whether the on-site hydrogen fueling station meets international standards and suggested ways to improve safety.

본 연구에서는 강화되는 자동차 배기가스 규제를 만족시키기 위하여 압축천연가스자동차보다는 배기가스부분에서 유리하고, 아직 상용화되지 않은 수소연료전지자동차의 대안으로서 수소경제의 본격적인 도입을 위한 과도기적 대안연료로 주목받고 있는 수소와 천연가스를 혼합한 연료인 HCNG 충전소의 안전에 관한 동향 및 기술을 분석하였다. HCNG는 기존의 CNG 인프라의 활용, 점점 강화되는 배기가스 배출기준의 충족, 그리고 다가오는 수소시대를 대비하여 수소시대로 가기위한 기술적, 사회적 가교역할을 한다는 점에서 매우 중요한 기회이자 도전이다. 이를 위해 HCNG 상용화에 필수적으로 요구되는 수소-압축천연가스 혼합연료 사용에 대비한 각종 안전 고려사항 들에 대하여 검토하여 국내 사고 이력을 기초로 하여 사고발생시나리오, 안전거리 추가 필요성, 수소침식, 점화원, 화재감지 등의 안전 고려사항을 제시하였고, HCNG 충전소 기술 및 기준에 관한 최근동향을 분석하여 향후 HCNG 충전소 시범 운영을 위한 안전성평가 등 제도적 기반 구축을 제안하였다.

Ammonia, which is closely related to our lives, has a significant impact on our lives as a representative substance for crop cultivation. Recently, it has gained attention as an efficient and productive hydrogen/storing substance that can replace fossil fuels. Efforts are being made to utilize it as a renewable energy source through thermochemical and electrochemical reactions. However, the use of ammonia, which encompasses the era, carries inherent toxicity, so a comprehensive understanding of ammonia safety is necessary. To ensure safety in the transportation and storage of ammonia and chemical substances domestically and internationally, national and organizational standards are being developed and provided through documents and simple symbols to help people understand. This review explores the chemical characteristics of ammonia, its impact on human health, and the global trends in safety standards related to ammonia. Through this examination, the paper aims to contribute to the discourse on the safety and risk management of ammonia transport and storage, crucial for achieving carbon neutrality and expanding the hydrogen economy.

The frequency of fatal accidents that can occur at hydrogen refueling station was compared with the risk criterion for the general public suggested by the health and safety executive. If hydrogen refueling station meets the accident prevention facility standards presented in KGS Code FP216/217, it was confirmed that the risk of hydrogen refueling station was not at an unacceptable (intolerable) risk level. However, the risk of hydrogen refueling station due to small leak was analyzed as low as reasonably practicable. Therefore, methods for improving the safety instrumented function of hydrogen refueling station were reviewed. It was confirmed that the risk of hydrogen refueling station can be affected by the number of installed safety instrumentation system components, redundant architecture, mission time, proof test interval, etc. And methods for maintaining the risk of hydrogen refueling station at an acceptable risk level have been proposed.

Hydrogen is a clean, endlessly produced energy and it is easy to store and transfer. So, hydrogen is regarded as next generation energy. Among various ways for hydrogen production, the way to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis can effectively respond to fossil fuel's depletion or climate change. As interest in hydrogen has increased, related research has been actively conducted in many countries. In this study, we analyzed the performance characteristics and safety of water electrolysis system. In this study, we analyzed the performance characteristics and safety of water electrolysis system. The items for safety performance evaluation of the water electrolysis system were derived through analysis of international regulations, codes, and standards on hydrogen. Also, a prototype of the overall safety performance evaluation station was designed and developed. The demonstration test was performed with a prototype $10Nm^3/h$ class water electrolysis system that operated stably under various pressure conditions while measuring the stack and system efficiency. At 0.7MPa, the efficiency of the alkaline water electrolysis stack and the system that used in this study was 76.3% and 49.8% respectively. Through the GC analysis in produced $H_2$, the $N_2$ (5,157ppm) and $O_2$ (1,646 ppm) among Ar, $O_2$, $N_2$, CO and $CO_2$ confirmed as main impurities. It can be possible that the result of this study can apply to establish the safety standards for the hydrogen production system by water electrolysis.

In this paper, the study is researched for related safety standards having experiments concerning temperature changes in type IV cylinder of the Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Experiments were performed to acquire temperature data of type IV cylinder according to filling time. The experimental results are shown that internal temperatures of type Ⅳ vessel are over $85^{\circ}C$ at all measured points after 5 minutes at filling 35 MPa and the highest temperature is getting lower when the residual gases are more remained. Consequently, the safety standards need properly limited value through further study for filling flow rate and filling time.

수소를 고압으로 압축하여 사용하는 수소충전소는 안전 확보를 위해 설비간의 안전거리를 규정하고 있다. 수소 충전소에서 발생하는 사고 중 대부분의 사고는 누출사고이며, 누출 시 점화로 인해 제트화염이 생성된다. 고압의 수소 누출로 인한 가스 확산 및 제트화염의 해석은 안전거리 설정에 가장 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 고압의 환경에서 운용되는 수소충전소에서 발생할 수 있는 누출사고를 대비한 안전관리 규정 도출을 위하여 누출원 크기별 누출조건을 모사하고 위험거리 등을 파악하여 향후 안전기준 제정 시 참고자료로 활용하고자 한다.
