  1. SYStems for Alternative Fuels (SYSAF) P. Moretto & P. Castello EC-DG JRC-Institute for Energy EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  2. DG-JRC, Institute for Energy Mission statement The Institute provides scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of community policies related to energy. Special emphasis is given to the security of energy supply and sustainable and safe energy production. EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  3. SYSAF summary/1 EC FP6 – JRC Action n°2323: SYSAF The action supports the penetration of natural gas and hydrogen as alternative fuels in the energy sector, particularly in road transportation. It aims at harmonising, validating and standardising test procedures for safety and operational performance of hydrogen systems. EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  4. GasTeF SenTeF SolTeF Modelling Performance assessment of H2 tanks: permeation and cycling tests Performance assessment of H2 leak detectors under conditions representative of those expected in use. Characterisation of solid-state materials for H2 storage. Modelling of H2 and CH4 accidental release and ignition and explosion conditions. Independent testing facility to support definition and harmonisation of adequate testing procedures and to provide assistance to developers Best practices, laboratory and measurement standards Safety requirements in accident conditions HySafe, StorHy (InsHyde) HyTrain NESSHY HySafe HyApproval SYSAF summary/2 EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  5. Traffic light analysis/1 Working Group 1:H2, Vehicle and surroundings safety in normal use EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  6. Traffic light analysis/2 Working Group 2:Vehicle and surroundings safety in crash situations and defects, damages EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  7. High-pressure gas tank tests • GasTeF: a “bunker” for permeation an cycling tests of high-pressure gas storage tanks for vehicles • Ready in 2006 • Conditions: up to 350 bar for cycling tests (3 min filling), up to 700 bar permeation tests in 20° - 100°C temperature range • Future expansion to distribution components (valves, fittings) and to hybrids (solid-state & high pressure) • Experimental data to be fed to the drafting process of RCS EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  8. Typical requirements for automotive applications: Specific to H2 gas – low cross sensitivity Wide detection range Fast response/recovery Low power consumption Wide temperature range Low maintenance, long life Rugged – resistant to aging & loss of sensitivity, zero drift Cost effective – several sensors/vehicle Small SenTeF, a facility testing: • Specificity - cross sensitivity • Response time • Temperature dependence • Ageing due to cycling H2 leak detectors EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  9. SenTeF in StorHy EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation

  10. 5-step iterative process Definition of performance targets in collaboration with StorHY SP End Users (Car manufacturing companies) Executed Consequent definition of a test protocolExecuted Market survey on available sensor systems and search for inputs from sensor manufacturers. On-going Sensors procurement and trials of proposed test procedures Experimentally validated test protocol = base for a proposal for a test and approval standard concerning the reliability of sensors (further consultation with car & sensor manufacturers) StorHY SAR SA2.2 CIDAUT (E), JRC (NL), Magna Steyr (A) EU-HarmonHy Workshop, Bruxelles, 26 September 2005 – JRC presentation
