In order to expand the supply of hydrogen vehicles, the first thing to be done is to build an infrastructure to supply hydrogen. There are fixed and mobile types of hydrogen refueling stations that can supply hydrogen. Mobile hydrogen refueling stations have the advantage of supplying hydrogen to two or three areas, so the introduction of mobile hydrogen refueling stations is considered at the initial stage of hydrogen vehicle dissemination. However, mobile hydrogen refueling stations have greater risks than fixed hydrogen refueling stations due to the hazard associated with movement and intensive installation of facilities in vehicle, so stricter design standards to lower the risk must be applied. Therefore, in this study, basic data for establishing safety standards for mobile hydrogen refueling stations were proposed by suggesting improvements such as the location of emergency shutoff valves, the number of gas detectors etc., using HAZOP analysis.

As the hydrogen era comes near future, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are core of hydrogen economy. Until now, Korea has 17 hydrogen refueling stations but 9 hydrogen refueling stations have been retired already and 8 hydrogen refueling stations are still running. With a limited number of hydrogen refueling stations, it is very difficult to get scientific data for the economy of hydrogen refueling stations in Korea. Thus, based on NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) study, we analyzed most recent data for the construction of hydrogen refueling stations in one specific site in Korea. The cost comparison data between Korea and USA shows 14% difference, saying higher costs of Korea. Korea looks 5 years delay compared to USA. This data will be an important tool for the investment from every industrial parties.

전 세계에서 수소자동차 충전의 기초로 사용되는 SAE J2601의 내용과 충전 프로토콜의 목적과 개념을 조사하고, 우리나라의 프로토콜 관련 연구 내용을 조사하였다. 그리고, 우리나라에서 개발한 수소 충전 성능평가 장비의 구성 요소와 수소충전소의 성능과 안전을 평가할 수 있는 방법에 대해 검토하고, 현재 국내에서 운영하고 있는 수소충전소에 대해 현장 적용을 실시하였다. 또한, 국내에서 운영 중인 수소충전소에서 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 경제성 분석을 하였다. 수소충전소의 안전성과 경제성을 확보하기 위해서는 프로토콜을 만족하여야 하며, 프로토콜을 만족하기 위해서는 충전온도, 충전압력, 충전 유량이 안전한 범위 내에서 제어되고 있는지 평가하는 것이 필요하다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the economic feasibility of domestic on-site steam methane reforming (SMR) hydrogen refueling stations. We evaluated the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) for the SMR hydrogen refueling stations, which have production capacities of 100 kg/day (SMR 100), 200 kg/day (SMR 200), and 500 kg/day (SMR 500) utilizing the scale factor. The main results indicated that the LCOH of SMR 100, SMR 200, and SMR 500 were 14,367 won/kg, 11,122 won/kg, and 8,157 won/kg, if the utilizations of hydrogen stations were 70%. These results imply that the production capacity of the domestic SMR hydrogen station should be greater than 500 kg/day to compete with other hydrogen stations when we consider the current sale price of hydrogen at the hydrogen stations.

The use of clean energy based on the hydrogen economy is increasing rapidly due to the greenhouse gas reduction policies and the increase in the need for hydrogen. Currently, South Korea government have been considering a plan to construct hydrogen refueling stations at expressway service area for the purpose of supplying hydrogen vehicles. In the case of a hydrogen refueling stations, a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) must be performed because it includs and uses a high pressurized hydrogen storage tank. In this study, QRA was conducted using societal risk and F-N curve by the consequence assessment (CA) of jet fire and explosion according to the population density, capacity of the high pressurized hydrogen storage tank and frequency assessment (FA) data to the general hydrogen refueling stations systems in expressway service area. In the cases of jet with a leak diameter of 7.16 mm, regardless of expressway service area location, the societal risk was over 1E-04 that was acceptable for as Low As reasonably practicable (ALARP) region (workforce), but unacceptable for ALARP region (public). In the cases of gas explosion, all expressway service area satisfy ALARP region. In the case of the population density is over 0.0727, QRA for constructing the hydrogen refueling stations, must be conducted.

Hydrogen utilization in the transportation sector, which relies on fossil fuels, can significantly reduce greenhouse gas by using to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and its adoption depends performance of hydrogen refueling station. The present study developed a model to simulate the back-to-back filling process of heavy duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at hydrogen refueling stations using a cascade method. And its quantitatively evaluated hydrogen refueling station performance by simulating various mass flow rates and storage tank capacity combinations, analyzing vehicle state of charge (SOC) of vehicles. In the cascade refueling system, the capacity of the high-pressure storage tank was found to have the greatest impact on the reduction of filling time and improvement of efficiency.

Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are typically refueled at a wide range of temperatures (-40℃ to 85℃) in the hydrogen refueling station in accordance with the worldwide accepted standard. Currently, there is no traceable method by which to verify and calibrate the hydrogen flowmeters to be used at hydrogen refueling stations except for a water calibration process as a conventional method. KRISS hydrogen field test standard based on the gravimetric principle was developed to verify the measurement accuracy of the mass flowmeter to be used at hydrogen refueling stations for the first time in Korea.

수소 기술과 관련된 연구는 전 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 우리나라도 수소경제 강국으로 도약하기 위해 기술개발에 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 특히, 세계 수소차 보급률 1위가 그 증거이다. 그러나 수소차의 인프라인 수소충전소 구축이 지연되고 있다. 지연요인은 대중들의 반대가 가장 크다. 이와 같이, 대중들의 지지를 받지 못한 정책은 성공적으로 실현될 수 없고, 지속가능하지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 수소충전소를 찬성하고 반대하는 수용성에 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 한다. 연구방법으로는 선행연구를 검토하여 수용성에 미치는 기초요인을 파악하였고, 설정된 요인을 바탕으로 설문을 설계하고 조사하였다. 설문에 대한 타당도와 신뢰도를 검증하였으며, 상관분석을 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 그리고, 구조방정식 모델링을 사용하여 수소충전소 수용성에 미치는 요인 모델을 개발하였다. 연구 결과로 수용성을 사적수용성과 공적수용성으로 구분하였으며, 사적수용성의 경우에는 환경에 대한 태도와 수소충전소에 대한 지식의 정도가 높을수록, 수소충전소에 대한 위험을 느끼는 정도가 적을수록 수용성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 공적수용성의 경우에는 이익이 많고, 환경에 대한 태도가 좋을수록, 위험을 감수하는 개인의 특성이 적을수록 수용성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 이 연구를 통해 수소충전소 등 국가정책 시행 시 주민들의 수용성 제고 방안을 모색하는 기초자료로써 제공하고, 과학적인 소통의 분석자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.

In recent years, hydrogen has received much attention as an alternative energy source to fossil fuels. In order to ensure safety from the increasing number of hydrogen refueling stations, prevention methods have been required. In this regard, this study suggested an approach to reduce the risk of hydrogen refueling station by increasing Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for a Steam Methane Reformer (SMR) in On-Site Hydrogen Refueling Station. The worst scenario in the SMR was selected by HAZOP and the required SIL for the worst scenario was identified by LOPA. To verify the required SIL, the PFDavg.(1/RRF) of Safety Instrumented System (SIS) in SMR was calculated by using realistic failure rate data of SIS. Next, several conditions were tested by varying the sensor redundancy and proof test interval reduction and their effects on risk reduction factor were investigated. Consequently, an improved condition, which were the redundancy of two-out-of-three and the proof test interval of twelve months, achieved the tolerable risk resulting in the magnitude of risk reduction factor ten times greater than that of the baseline condition.
