Technical Specifications of the Hydrogen Gas Container for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tram

초록

In the railway field, hydrogen fuel cell railway vehicles are being developed in many countries as a measure to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, the main cause of global warming. Hydrogen used in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is stored in a high-pressure storage container at 700 bar, so the storage container must have a high level of structural integrity. For the design and performance evaluation of storage containers, the development of technical specifications and test standards for storage containers is required. In this study, general technical specifications for hydrogen storage containers, container installation methods, safety valves, charging ports, and test standards were established by referring to domestic and international standards such as KS, ASTM, and EN.
