  2. Hydrogen Storage – It’s More Than a Tank Contain Control Regulate Monitor Distribute Meter Refill Survive Hydrogen storage systems on H2 vehicles must:

  3. Integrated Fuel Storage Systems Containment Vessel THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FUEL STORAGE SYSTEMS PRESSURE REGULATORS VALVES & SOLENOIDS SUPPORT STRUCTURE / BRACKETRY PRD’s, TEMP. & PRESSURE SENSORS FUEL LINES / TUBING ELECTRONICS

  4. Quantum TriShieldTM Storage Tank Protection Layer (damage resistant) Foam Dome (impact protection) Carbon Composite Shell (structural) High Molecular Weight Polymer Liner (gas barrier) In-Tank Gas Temperature Sensor Gas Outlet Solenoid In-Tank Regulator Pressure Sensor (not visible here) Pressure Relief Device (thermal)

  5. Tank Validation Hydrostatic Burst Extreme Temperature Cycle Ambient Cycle Acid Environment Bonfire Gunfire Penetration Flaw Tolerance Accelerated Stress Drop Test Permeation Hydrogen Cycle Softening Temperature Tensile Properties Resin Shear Boss End Material Validation Tests

  6. Validation Testing Gunfire Testing Hydrogen Cycling Environmental Testing Burst Testing Bonfire Testing

  7. Severe Abuse Testing

  8. OEM Production Level Integration Storage Injection / Metering Fuel Lines

  9. 70 MPa Hydrogen Fuel Storage System Foam Domes (Handling Safety Feature) 70 MPa Composite Tanks In Tank Regulator with Solenoid Pressure Sensors Vent Line Ports Stone Shield Vehicle Electrical Interface Connector Thermally Activated PRD Fill Line Check Valve Defueling Port (optional) Refueling Port Pressure Sensors Vehicle Interface Bracket

  10. General Motors HydroGen3 70 MPa Hydrogen Storage Engineering

  11. Suzuki WagonR 70 MPa Hydrogen Storage Systems

  12. General Motors Hy-Wire 35 MPa Hydrogen Storage Systems

  13. GM Sequel 70 MPa Hydrogen Storage Systems

  14. DOE Storage Targets * Single 160L 70 MPa tank, 500k production volume, optimized carbon, health monitored storage system.

  15. Compressed Hydrogen Storage System Costs Approximately 65% of System Costs are Carbon Fiber Manufacturing = 3% Components = 13% Pressure Regulator Valves Sensors (T, p) Coupling Fittings PRD Vessel = 84% Carbon Fiber Liner Material Epoxy Resin Pipes Components

  16. Achieving DOE Targets with Advanced Manufacturing • Path for Compressed Hydrogen Technology - • Storage Centric Vehicle Design • Single Longitudinal 160L 70MPa Storage Module • On Tank Automatic Valve • External Low Cost Pressure Regulation Components • Health Monitored Tank (1.8 SP Burst Ratio) • Integrated Filament Winding w/ Fiber Placement • Revision of Codes & Standards enabling Fiber Placement • Chilled Hydrogen Supply for Fast Fill

  17. Achieving DOE Targets with Advanced Manufacturing Estimated Performance - Usable Specific Energy (kW hr / kg) > 2.0 Usable Energy Density (kW hr / L) 0.9 Cost ($ / kW hr) < $10 Cycle Life (Cycles, 1/4 tank to full) 15,000 Refueling Rate (kg H2 / min) > 2.0

  18. In Summary • 35 MPa and 70 MPa storage systems in use on H2 vehicles today • Extensive testing and validation completed • In use experience growing • Compressed H2 storage vessels are “the strongest part” of the vehicle • Refueling infrastructure being implemented to support compressed H2 systems • Challenges remain • Cost • Packaging on vehicles (range)
