Metrology for Hydrogen Advanced Storage Solutions
Annotation in Czech
The overall goal of this project is to provide traceable solutions for advanced hydrogen storage technologies which are required in order to achieve the ambitious new EU energy target for renewable energy by 2030, as per the Renewable Energy European Directive 2018/2001. The specific objectives of this project are: 1. To assess the quality of hydrogen produced from proton-exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis during rapidly imposed transient use periods (0–100 %, 200 % peak) with online gas analysers for measuring key impurities (including water vapour and oxygen). 2. To improve the reference equations of state (EoS) used for modelling hydrogen injection up to 20 % vol. for energy metering by providing traceable density measurements with a target uncertainty of between 0.03 % to 0.5 % as the basis for accurate determination of calorific values of energy gases. 3. To investigate sustainability and reliability of fuel cells (FC), whose performance is affected by impurities in hydrogen and air, by conducting loss-of-performance tests on single-cell and short-stack FCs and to give specification and recommendations for air quality sensors needed for monitoring FC systems. 4. To provide a validated method for measuring and calculating heat conductivity of hydrogen ab/adsorbed in an intermetallic material or porous materials as a function of temperature, pressure, hydrogen absorption capacity and rate, considering dynamic heat flux impact and to develop a harmonised method (< 1 % uncertainty) for stored hydrogen. 5. To tackle metrological and thermodynamic issues in the large-scale storage of hydrogen in underground gas storages (UGS) and the conversion of existing UGS from natural gas to hydrogen.
