Hydrogen is emerging as a next-generation energy source and development and supply of FCEV (hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle) is expected to occur rapidly. Accordingly, measures to respond to hydrogen car accidents are required and researches on the safety of hydrogen cars are being actively conducted. In this study, In this study, we developed a hydrogen car accident scenarios suitable for domestic conditions for the safety evaluation of hydrogen car in road tunnels through analysis of existing experiments and research data and analyzed and presented the hazard distance according to the accident results of the hydrogen car accident scenarios. The accident results according to the hydrogen car accident scenario were classified into minor accidents, general fires, jet flames and explosions. The probability of occurrence of each accident results are predicted to be 93.06%, 1.83%, 2.25%, and 2.31%. In the case of applying the hydrogen tank specifications of FCEV developed in Korea, the hazard distance for explosion pressure (based on 16.5 kPa) is about 17.6 m, about 6 m for jet fire, up to 35 m for fireball in road tunnel with a standard cross section (72 m²).

Hydrogen refueling stations that use compressed hydrogen at high pressure provide safety distances between facilities in order to ensure safety. Most accidents occurring in hydrogen stations are accidental leaks. When a leak occurs, various types of ignition sources generate a jet flame. Therefore, the analysis of leaked gas diffusion and jet flame due to high pressure hydrogen leakage is one of the most important factor for setting the safety distance. In this study, the leakage accidents that occur in the hydrogen refueling station operated in high pressure environment are simulated for various leakage source sizes. The results of this study will be used as a reference for the future safety standards.

Hydrogen is considered to be the most important future energy carrier in many applications reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly. To be applicable as energy carrier the safety issues associated with hydrogen applications needs to be investigated and fully understood. In order to analyze the risks associated with hydrogen applications, accidents associated with hydrogen in Korea from 1963 to 2002 have been analysed in this work. From analysis of accidents, we propose the necessity of research on hydrogen releases, dispersion in air, and explosion due to high hazardous of hydrogen.

The focus of this study is to develop a virtual reality program for safe training and virtual reality of hydrogen station. This programme consists of 4 modules such as hydrogen and safety module, hydrogen station module, hypothetical experience module, and accident scenarios module for hydrogen experts. User can experience with principles and operation condition and collect the information of hydrogen station by this programme and can simultaneously study the probable scenarios, emergency response plan/standard operating procedure about hydrogen stations. It makes it possible to educate and safety publicity for the trainee. This virtual reality program will be expected to be helpful for hydrogen station's construction propagation and technology development which is essential for hydrogen energy induction.

원자력발전소에서는 심각한 사고로 인한 고온상태에서 원자로내부의 물질이 산화반응하여 대량의 수소가 발생한다. 이 때 수소가 폭발하면, 원자력발전소의 건전성에 중대위험이 발생한다. 실제로 미국원자력발전소인 쓰리마일원전(TMI-2) 사고 이후 지금까지 중대사고시 수소거동에 대하여 여러 연구기관에서 많은 연구가 수행되었으나 아직도 많은 기술적 불확실성이 존재한다.(중략)

In this study, we suggested the direction to lower the risk by analyzing the risk factors for each process for the hydrogen refueling station to be installed in Chungju. HyRAM, one of the quantitative risk assessment tools for hydrogen gas, was used to analyze the hazards. By evaluating the frequency of accidents and consequences for each process, the most dangerous processes and accident factors were presented, and the risk mitigation factors were synthesized. Hydrogen refueling stations are currently in the global infrastructure expansion period, and the lack of accident data could be an alternative to this risk assessment and is expected to be used as a reference for the future expansion of hydrogen refueling stations.

As the supply of hydrogen charging stations for hydrogen supply accelerates due to the hydrogen economy revitalization policy, the risk of accidents is also increasing. Since most hydrogen explosion accidents lead to major accidents, it is very important to secure safety when using hydrogen energy. In order to utilize hydrogen energy, it is essential to secure the safety of hydrogen storage containers used for production, storage, and transportation of liquid hydrogen. In this paper, in order to evaluate the structural safety of a hydrogen-filled pressure vessel, the behavioral characteristics of gas pressure were analyzed by finite element analysis. SA-372 Grade J / Class 70 was used for the material of the pressure vessel, and a hexahedral mesh was applied in the analysis model considering only the 1/4 shape because the pressure vessel is axisymmetric. A finite element analysis was performed at the maximum pressure using a hydrogen gas pressure vessel, and the von Mises stress, deformation, and strain energy density of the vessel were observed.

2년 전인 지난 2012년 9월 27일 경북 구미4공단에 소재한 휴브글로벌에서 불화수소가 누출되는 사고가 발생했다. 이 사고로 근로자 5명이 사망하고 23명이 부상을 당했다. 사고 후 불화수소가 공기를 통해 대량 퍼지면서 인근 지역도 막대한 피해를 입었다. 사고는 안전관리측면에서 많은 허점을 드러냈다. 사업장은 물론 관할 소방서, 구미시 모두에서 화학사고에 대한 대응 매뉴얼과 협조체계가 제대로 구축되지 않아 피해의 확산을 막지 못했다. 너무나 허술한 화학사고 대응체계의 현실에 구미시민은 물론 전 국민이 분노했다. 이에 정부는 화학물질관리 및 사고대응 시스템 전면에 대한 대대적인 개선에 돌입했다. 그리고 그 결과물이 지난해 12월 초 모습을 드러냈다. 관계부처, 지자체, 소방당국, 안전보건공단까지 한데 모여 효과적인 화학사고 예방과 대응을 전담하는 화학재난 합동방재센터가 전국에서 처음으로 구미에 문을 연 것이다. 그로부터 반년이 흐른 지금 구미에는 어떤 변화가 생겼을까. 달라진 화학재난 안전관리체계를 확인해보고자 구미119화학구조센터를 찾아가봤다.
