Permitting Processes in Place ?

HyApproval

For selected countries like Germany, based on CNG refuelling station permitting processes also HRS can be approved.

For other countries the process requires much higher efforts or is impossible at all.

ISO TR 15916 InternationalThe separation distance, or quantity-distance (Q-D), is a relationship between quantity of flammable or explosive material and distance separation from the exposed object(s) that provide(s) a defined type of protection.

EIGA IGC Doc 75/01 InternationalThe safety distance from a piece of equipment with inherent hazard is that minimum separation which will mitigate the effect of a likely foreseeable incident and prevent a minor incident escalating to a larger incident.

NSS 1740.16 USALocation and quantity distance (QD) requirements are based on the concept that the effects of fire, explosion, and detonation can be reduced to tolerable levels if the source of the hazard is kept far enough away from people and other fcilities

WP4 – Accident Scenarios for HRS [¾ Y1] (4)

General mitigation factors applicable to all HRS:• All HRS’s are designed, constructed & operated to approved codes & standards• All HRS’s to have a prepared Emergency Response Procedure (ERP) plan• All HRS operator(s) shall be trained in ERP plans and operation of HRS as applicable.• All HRS’s to have an emergency shutdown (ESD) system or equal• Fire water supply & fire fighting equipment is available and appropriate to the size of the

HRS e.g. dry sprinkler, firewater monitor, fire extinguishers. Special attention must be paid at stations where liquid hydrogen is stored to prevent plugging vent outlets

• HRS’s comply with separation (or isolation) distances as per agreed codes & standards• HRS’s have a systematic preventative maintenance plan in place

Credible accident scenarios identified for HRS:• CGH2 dispenser @ 35 MPa• CGH2 dispenser failure at 70 MPa• LH2 dispenser failure at 3 – 8 Bar• CGH2 tanker discharge hose failure at 25 MPa• LH2 tanker discharge hose failure (11 bar max WP)• Underground line from CGH2 buffer storage or cascade priority panel to dispenser

HRS sizes (H2 onsite storage mass):• Small: < 350 kg H2• Medium: < 1,500 kg H2• Large: < 3,500 kg H2

WP4 – Scenarios Selected for CFD Analysis [¾ Y1] (5)

Scenarios with relevance to customer safety (generally speaking scenarios with"low/ localised severity" in connection with dispenser):• Leakage at nozzle during refuelling (35 & 70 MPa)• Hole in dispensing line (35 & 70 MPa)• Leakage inside dispenser enclosure (CGH2)• Leakage at nozzle during refuelling (LH2 – 0.8 MPa)• Hole in dispensing line (LH2 – 0.8 MPa)

Scenarios with relevance to external safety (low probability, high severity):External safety scenarios will be studied with and without mitigation barriers in place in order to assess the risk reduction potential (and therefore the importance) of proposed safety barriers.

• Rupture of flexible dispensing hose (35 & 70 MPa)• Pupture of H2 buffer storage output line (35 & 70 MPa)• Burst of H2 storage tank (70 MPa)• Rupture of NG feed line inside production container• Trailer hose disconnection during refilling (25 MPa)• shear of hose line (LH2 – 0.8 MPa)• Tanker dispensing line disconnection during refuelling (LH2 – 1.1 MPa)• Below ground storage failure (LH2 – 0.8 MPa)

It is realised that reliability and release data are lacking for hydrogen applications. Work is needed to close this knowledge gap. It is therefore suggested to initiate an initiative or project for this purpose in line with what has been done for non-hydrogen equipment and systems.This will enable better risk quantification and reliability analyses to be conducted also for hydrogen systems/applications like hydrogen refuelling stations. It is therefore highly recommended that initiatives are taken to plan for data collection of such data in line with what has been done throughout the years for other industries. Some work is already ongoing in this field both through the CUTE project and HySafe’s WP5 establishing HIAD, the Hydrogen Accident and Incident Database (even if HIAD is not initially intended to be a reliability type of database). It is recommended that the HyApproval, HySafe and CUTE projects that already work to assure a safe introduction of hydrogen in society cooperate and contribute with their specific competence and experiences, by joining forces in agreeing on a way forward utilising the partners’ experience in similar work and the successful database concepts that have been referred to in this document. It could be suggested to run a pilot project for hydrogen refuelling stations. In case successful, it will not be necessary in the future to use (adjusted) non-hydrogen data for release frequency estimations and reliability calculations for hydrogen applications.

Main Dissemination Objectives

Next steps for taking forward the technicalachievements of the project

» HyApproval is the first EU project that aims at creating a universal handbook that collects the technical and regulatory requirementsbased on the expertise of all major companies and research institutes involved in the installation of the first HRS in Europe and abroad

» HyApproval therefore offers a unique first opportunity to disseminate its results to local authorities and inform them about the wealth of knowledge and experience already existing in Europe and the rest of the world on the use of hydrogen in transport applications and the requirements of installing the necessary elements of a hydrogen infrastructure
