Service Station Frankfurt Rastogi
Operational Experience in Germany On average 30 kg/month refilled (max. rate 60g/s) More milage and applications planned High availability inspite of some teething problems: Filters in the cooling system of the compressor Some valves failed on the compressor system Some loose fittings leading to system failure Insufficient purging of the pipeline initially Control valves at dispenser Minor electronic problems Incident reporting and management approach important One accident in the first year, no H2 discharge Rastogi
Damage of 700 bar Dispenser by accident Cause: Passenger car runs into dispenser Effect: major damage of dispenser and the installed techniqueNo accidental escape of hydrogen Action: Repair / replacement of dispenser Operational Experience in Germany Rastogi

Operational Performance of the vehicles in 2008 46 Some Demonstration Data Mileage Operating hours F-Cell No. 29 F-Cell No. 59, 60, 61 F-Cell No. 49 (700 bar) The operational performance 2008 was lower than expected Rastogi
Assessment Framework • INPUT DATA • Data tables on • Infrastructure • Vehicles • 2 Demo. sites • OEM‘s and Operators • Results • Indicators on • Infrastructure • Vehicles • 2 Demo. sites • Indicator value (0 to 1) Simple Data Processing • Compare with Ref. Technology • Technological aspects: • Performance, Environment, Safety • Socio-Economy • Project Organisation Rastogi
Data Assessment Rastogi
Comparison F-Cell Vs. Diesel Rastogi
Summary of 2 years • 3-7 FCV‘s, 100 vehicle months of operation, over 45000 km driven (should have been more) • over 510 kg. H2 consumed, 7.2 tons of CO2 emission saved • Vehicles showed high reliability and availablity (98%) • Availability 350 bar dispenser 95% • Availability 700 bar dispenser 55% (accident costed 11 months) • Ionic compressor 77% (has been overhauled) • By-product hydrogen should be exploited more initially • Infrastructure problems experienced are not related to H2 Rastogi
Concluding Remarks • H2-infrastructure developed and FCV fleet used in Zero Regio Project have been briefly presented • Operational experience has been encouraging at both sites • FCV-Fleet has operated better than expected • For better mileage 700 bar storage is necessary • Fuel consumption of FCV is about half of NGV • Fast refuelling of 700 bar FCV‘s has been realised • Pipeline transport is high potential of the project • Thank You See you at WHEC 2010 & ZERO REGIO final conference Rastogi
