With the increased interest in reducing air pollution, supply of natural gas for gas vehicles is increasing. Thus, the number of establishments of LNG and CNG stations is increasing as well. However, due to major gas accidents such as the fire and explosion accident of a Bucheon LPG station in 1998, it is difficult to establish a new station. In this research, we conducted qualitative hazard analysis fer LCNG/LNG multi-station by using the K-PSR method and proposed recommendations for hazard mitigation.

The electrostatic safety consciousness of safety manager were investigated through questionnaires sent to liquid petroleum gas stations in Korea. In addition, hazards of fire and explosion due to electrostatic on synthetic-polymer-wears and cotton-wears were estimated experimentally. The results of questionnaires indicate most workers wear their working clothes indiscreetly owing to lack of knowledge of preventing electrostatic hazards. The amounts of electrostatic charge generated in synthetic-polymer-wears were 1.79, 1.44 and 1.02 $\mu$C in winter, spring and autumn and summer, respectively. All these values exceed the limit of working wears of 0.60$\mu$C requested by Korea Standard(KS K-7807) for preventing electrostatic hazards, which means hazards may occur. While, the charge in cotton-wears were in the range of 0.42 to 0.52$\mu$C, which suggests that the cotton-wears investigated in this study have no problem of hazards. Therefore workers, visual and experiential education are necessary for elevating the standard of on electrostatics. It is also necessary to establish standards of wearing for preventing electrostatic hazards.

Interests in clean fuels have been soaring because of environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen obtains public attention as a eco-friendly energy source because it releases only water when burned. Various policy efforts have been made to establish a hydrogen based transportation network. The station that supplies hydrogen to hydrogen-powered trucks is essential for building the hydrogen based logistics system. Thus, determining the optimal location of refueling stations is an important topic in the network. Although previous studies have mostly applied optimization based methodologies, this paper adopts machine learning to review spatial attributes of candidate locations in selecting the optimal position of the refueling stations. Machine learning shows outstanding performance in various fields. However, it has not yet applied to an optimal location selection problem of hydrogen refueling stations. Therefore, several machine learning models are applied and compared in performance by setting variables relevant to the location of highway rest areas and random points on a highway. The results show that Random Forest model is superior in terms of F1-score. We believe that this work can be a starting point to utilize machine learning based methods as the preliminary review for the optimal sites of the stations before the optimization applies.

아현동 밸브기지 폭발사고(94. 12. 7), 대구 지하철공사장 폭발사고(95. 4. 28), 부천의 LPG충전소 폭발사고(98. 9. 11)는 세계적으로도 그 유래를 찾아보기 힘든 사고들이다. 가스의 소비가 늘어나면서 크고 작은 가스사고 특히 대형사고의 위험성은 항상 주변에 상존하고 있다. 대형사고사례는 사고조사와 분석을 통하여 많은 것을 교훈으로 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 부천사고의 직접적인 원인이 아직도 규명되지 못하고 있다. (중략)

Cause of Bucheon LPG refueling station accident could not be clearly verified because of opposite talking of men reponsible for the accident the accident, damaged by BLEVE and fire, and no systematic fire investigation. After two and half years, recently first judgement has been carried out. But competitive arguement is going on and first leak point of massive LPG will not be clearly identified with evidences acquired by now. This accident gave us many instructions and advices. Specially, massive LPG leak can result in pool fire and safety of underground-installed storage tank is proved by no damage in the strong BLEVE.

In the hydrogen filling process, hydrogen flows by the pressure difference between the supply pressure at a filling station and a storage tank in the vehicle, and the flow rate depends on the pressure difference. Therefore, it is essential to consider the pressure drop of hydrogen occurring during the filling process, and the efficiency of the hydrogen filling process can be improved through its analysis. In this study, the pressure drop was analyzed for a hose, a nozzle/receptacle coupling, a pipe, and a valve in a filling line. The pressure drops through hose and pipe, the nozzle,receptacle coupling, and the valve were calculated by using a equation for a straight conduit, a flow nozzle formula, and a gas flow respectively. In addition, as a result of comprehensive analysis of the pressure drop effect occurring in each component, it was found that the factor that has the greatest influence on the pressure drop in the entire filling line is the pressure drop through the valve. This study can be used to develop a model of the hydrogen filling process by analyzing hydrogen flow including hydrogen filling in the future.

In this paper, analyzes the type of failure and its effect on the hydrogen fueling nozzle used in hydrogen station. Failure of hydrogen fueling nozzle was analyzed using a qualitative risk assessment method, failure mode and effect analysis. The failure data of hydrogen fueling nozzles installed in domestic hydrogen stations are collected, and the failure types are classified, checked the main components causing the failure. Criticality analysis was derived based on frequency and severity depending on the failure mode performed. A quality function is developed by a performance test evaluation item of the hydrogen fueling nozzle, and the priority order of design characteristics is selected. Through the analysis results, the elements to improve the main components for enhancing the quality and maintenance of the hydrogen fueling nozzle were confirmed.
