TY - CONF A1 - Mair, Georg A1 - Becker, Ben T1 - Probabilistic safety analysis of CPVs – Comparison PA vs. ISO 11119 and GTR13 N2 - The presentation shows the basics on the graphic comparison of deterministic regulations and probabilistic safety requirements. In doing so, unsafe but approvable areas in the BAM-SPC (sample performance chart) becomes obvious; as the area of not approveable but safe strength properties does. Finally the semi-porbabilistic approach of GTR#13 (global technical regulation for hydrogen vehicles) is analysed. Relevant figures show again potential of saving material and unsafe areas in case of high scatter at end of life.

Therefore, in some cases destructive tests are needed as alternatives. This requires the operation of statistical evaluation methods. How it works and why it is necessary is shown for the examples of so called over-moulded cylinders and concerning composite cylinders.

This paper provides a systematic analysis of the load cycle properties resulting from these regulations and standards. Their characteristics are compared with the probabilistic approach of the BAM. Based on Monte-Carlo simulations the available design range of all concepts is compared. In addition, the probability of acceptance for potentially unsafe design types is determined.

The way how the term “safety” is used in TAHYA leads to the need for a more risk-based understanding of safety. Based on this, the Monte Carlo simulation is used to show where the weak points of current regulations are. Thus, a concept for optimization of relevant regulations, codes and standards will be elaborated during the project. For this purpose, it is helpful to improve the currently operated tool for Monte Carlo simulation, which will need additional data for monitoring the outcome. Strength data, that will be determined by BAM and the other partners during the already agreed test program can be used for this purpose without additional effort.

It starts with the analysis of consequences resulting from worst case ruptures of gas cylinders. The number of harmed persons and fatalities dependent from the pressure-volume product and the kind of stored gas. In parallel, there is a national accepted rule for accepted failure rates depending from this pV-product created by BAM. When combining both aspects it become clear that the pressure-volume product can be used as a good indicator for consequences. At a level of about 120 MPa m3 the maximum consequence starts to become catastrophic character. This shows the reason why the representatives of DIN insisted in limiting relevant pV-limits for tubes and cylinders to 1 Mio. bar litres. The second part gives a raff overview on the parameters influencing the acceptance rates of borderline basic populations. This is added by some slides giving an idea for the improvement of the minimum burst requirement and finally completed by a proposal for improved acceptance criteria for the burst test. The basic idea is: an increased pV-product of tubes has the be reflected by an increased safety level.

This presentation focus on storage aspects and shows the current gaps in research from the point of view of the authors. They have differences in background, from university via manufacturer and safety institute to hydrogen operating industry. The different purposes of storage are covered (onboard storage, stationary storage and transport of gases) as well as the different designs (steel to pure composite/plastic).

He starts with a spectacular hydrogen accident on the Tempelhofer Feld (Berlin) in 1894, comes to the foundation of the competence centre in the context of the hydrogen strategies of Germany and the EU and explains their safety-focused orientation in order to create and maintain confidence in hydrogen technologies. Beyond the long-term changes in energy supply, in Sept. 2022 there are enormous cost leaps in gas supply, which puts hydrogen as an energy carrier in a different light. Based on this, he presents the structure of the Competence Centre with its 5 competence areas and the corresponding contact persons. This is underpinned by a slide on each of the work packages in the fields of competence. At the end of the presentation, he explains the focus of the competence area "Component Testing, Component Safety and Approval", for which he is responsible. This is the question of cost reduction by using the whole potential of digitalisation in connection with the safety surveillance of the storage systems. The run of a fully digital system is of great importance for both, for the hydrogen supply of large consumers via road and rail and for storage systems in stationary plants. A robust and well-thought-out digitalisation in all levels of documentation will lead to a new quality in monitoring safety porperties, integration of new components and cost reduction.

N2 - The application range of CPV (composite pressure vessels) is multifaceted. But also the failure forms and the spectrum of measurement methods is manifold. On various, at BAM observed effects, it is shown why the micromechanical analysis of the composites is of such great interest for the prediction of aging effects of CPVs.

It guides to the actions of BAM as competent authority on this area and shows a lot different methods for testing operated at BAM. Based on this additional research has been detected as necessary for a competent tackling of the tasks as competent authority. After having mentioned several important research projects a figure is presented that compares the development of regulations with relevant re-actions of BAM. The outcome was a concept of a risk based definition of accepted failure rates in combination with probability-oriented safety assessment over entire service life. The second aspect raised at INERIS is the issue of advising the BMVI concerning pressure vessels for hydrogen. Since the pressure is high for saving material consumption and weight there is still high interest in changing regulatory requirements. Therefor we developed an approach for the display of minimum requirements of regulations in diagrams (sample performance charts; SPC) and the probabilistic analysis for these deterministic requirements. This is done by Monte-Carlo simulation and the analysis of acceptance rate and survival rate of basic populations all over the SPC. This finally provide same knowledge of non-approvable but safe ranges of parameters and even approvable but non-safe constellations. In addition, this analysis allows to optimise deterministic requirements in regulations to the intended level of safety for approved populations of pressure vessels, which is shown on the example of the GTR#13.

This shown by using the Monte-Carlo experiment consequently. The first step is to explain how deterministic requirements and how probabilistic requirements work. Then the statistical behaviour of the generally unknown basic population can be described and that his behaviour is independent from the regulatory approach. Subsequently, the concept of evaluating sample test results with respect to deterministic requirements is explained. The item “acceptance rate” of the basic population that is behind each sample and behind each individuum in a sample is defined. On this collective understanding, the differences in evaluation between the probabilistic approach PA and the most important RC&S are discussed. Some areas are validated in contradictorily. Then the parameters for acceptance of burst strength in the UN-GTR#13 are varied and opens the door for an accurate improvement of acceptance criteria. Finally, the special aspects of degradation in load cycle testing are shown. There, two aspects must be differentiated, the current reliability and its degradation by ongoing load cycles. This is a convincing argument against the very common opinion, which means that the number of hydraulically tested load cycles pro-vides a figure for the number of acceptable filling cycles.

These are the improvement of the understanding and definition of term "safety", the agreement on procedures for the measurement of safety and the issue of degradation in combination with the safety level to be ensured until end of life. For using probabilistic experience for the whole production adequate measures for surveillance of the production should additionally become mandatory to be taken into account. The essential aspects of these issues are shortly explained and highlighted by especially aspects of the slow burst testing with respect to non-cycle fatigue sensitive designs and the hint on the general scatter of properties (Monte-Carlo simulation).

The starting point is the sample performance chart (SPC) as developed by BAM. There it is possible to show minimum requirements, sample properties and lines of constant survival rates, these lines are called isoasfalia. The BAM provides a tool for the safety evaluation of results from sample testing. Then the interaction to the micro-mechanical approach of the FiBreMoD-project is linked with the idea of a degradation of strength and reliability. This leads to the methods of burst and cycle testing. For both methods examples are shown and degradation is explained by showing data of two design types. This visualise the determination of safe service life. Finally, statistical aspects of misinterpretation of test results and the reasons for the decision in favour of the slow burst tests are explained.
