Abstract

Because of the recent expansion of hydrogen vehicle supply, the installation of hydrogen filling station is expected to gradually expand. This study attempts to predict the damage scale and propose a safer design form based on the scenario that assumes the worst case of a hydrogen station. A Flacs solver using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to predict the damage scale, and the accuracy was verified by comparing it with the experimental results of previous researchers. The damage scale prediction was conducted for hydrogen leakage and explosion, and the prediction target was the KR model based on the measured values. And as a comparative review model, a roofless model was selected without a ceiling. As a result of analyzing the two models, it was possible to confirm the accumulation and retention of hydrogen gas up to 60 vol% or more in the KR model, whereas in the case of the Roofless model, the phenomenon of discharge and diffusion to the outside of the charging station by riding the wall after leakage. I was able to check. In conclusion, it was reviewed that the type of hydrogen charging station without ceiling is more advantageous for safety than the hydrogen filling station model.

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.
