DEVELOPMENT OF A COST EFFECTIVE AND RELIABLE HYDROGEN FUEL CELL VEHICLE REFUELLING SYSTEM (H2REF)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

H2Ref addresses the compression and buffering function for the refuelling of 70 MPa passenger vehicles and encompasses all the necessary activities for advancing a novel hydraulics-based compression and buffering system that is very cost effective and reliable from TRL 3 (experimentally proven concept) to TRL 6 (technology demonstrated in relevant environment), thereby proving highly improved perf ...

Pre-Normative Research for Thermodynamic Optimization of Fast Hydrogen Transfer (HYTRANSFER)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Hydrogen transfer concerns filling and emptying processes. Filling generates heat which can lead to overheating of composite pressure vessels especially when filling transportable containers or fuelling vehicles. Emptying generates cooling. Excessive cooling may occur during delivery of hydrogen from a trailer. The HyTransfer project will address both issues.As hydrogen vehicle refuelling is the l ...

European Hydrogen Emergency Response training programme for First Responders (HYRESPONSE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The HyResponse project will establish the World’s first comprehensive training programme for first responders, i.e. a European Hydrogen Safety Training Platform (EHSTP), to facilitate safer deployment of FCH systems and infrastructure. The EHSTP will provide first responders with the unique hi-tech training facilities, the original training materials based on a curriculum to be developed by profes ...

Material Testing and Recommendations for Hydrogen Components under fatigue (MATHRYCE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The deployment of a large hydrogen infrastructure with societal acceptance relies on the development of appropriate codes and standards to ensure safety. While hydrogen infrastructures are gradually being built all over the world, there exist no international standard to properly ensure fitness for service of pressure vessels subject to hydrogen enhanced fatigue. For example, high pressure compres ...

Enhanced Design Requirements and Testing Procedures for Composite Cylinders intended for the Safe Storage of Hydrogen (HyCOMP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Hydrogen storage is a key enabling technology for the use of hydrogen as an energy vector. To improve volumetric and gravimetric performance, carbon fiber composite cylinders are currently being developed. However, current standards governing the design, qualification and in-service inspection of carbon fiber composite cylinders do not allow cylinder design to be optimized. In particular, safet ...

Hydrogen fuel Quality requirements for transportation and other energy applications (HyQ)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Hydrogen-based energy conversion devices, especially proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), are known to be sensitive to hydrogen fuel impurities. In this context, adequate specification of hydrogen quality, as well as means of checking H2 fuel compliance, are crucial to warrant reliability of these devices. Besides, a technical and economical compromise between performance loss and purifica ...

Optimisation of Transport Solutions for Compressed Hydrogen (DeliverHy)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

Compressed hydrogen trailers are cost efficient for near term distribution. However, with the currently used 20 MPa trailers the supply of larger refuelling stations would result in multiple truck deliveries per day, which is often not acceptable. In order to increase the transported quantities, lighter materials and higher pressure must be adopted. The cost increase of the hydrogen trailers resul ...

Identification, Preparation and Dissemination of Hydrogen Safety Facts to Regulators and Public Safety Officials (HyFacts)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

HyFacts aims to develop training material for Regulators and Public Safety Officials, which are responsible persons and work for entities, having to position themselves in the increasing number of upcoming installation of hydrogen-related technologies. The training material will focus on the fundamental aspects of hydrogen safety and on the safety approaches and criteria developed in standards and ...
