It discusses the necessary criteria and characteristics of sensor systems, and also demonstrates practical applications of these technologies in terms of safety and process control. Emphasis is placed on various types of sensors such as gas sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, and gas flow sensors.

One specimen of 150 l made of alkali-activated material, which was found innovative and suitable for sealing constructions based on preliminary laboratory studies, and, for comparison purpose, another one made of salt concrete, are manufactured with an integrated multi-sensory setup for quality assurance and long-term-monitoring. The specimens were left in their cast form and additionally thermally insulated to simulate the situation in the repository. The multi-sensory concept comprises RFID technology embedded in the specimens suppling material temperature and moisture measurements, integrated fibre optic sensing allowing strain measurement and acoustic emission testing for monitoring possible crack formation. Overall, the suitability and the functionality of the sensors embedded into and attached to strongly alkaline (pH > 13 for the AAM) and salt corrosive (NaCl) environment was proven for the first 672 h. First temperature measurement based on RFID succeeded after 626 h for the alkali-activated material and after 192 h for the conventional salt concrete. Strain measurement based on distributed fibre optic sensing turned out the alkali-activated material with > 1 mm m-1 undergoing approximately twice the compression strain as the salt concrete with strains < 0.5 mm m-1. In contrast, the acoustic emission first and single hits representing crack formation in numbers, was found for alkali-activated material half of that detected at the salt concrete.

The integrity of these systems might be threatened during fire exposure. This can trigger the degradation of the MLI materials and induce rapid pressurization of the tank with a high risk of catastrophic failure. In this work, a novel lumped model to simulate the thermal response of MLI-equipped cryogenic liquid hydrogen tanks is presented. The model integrates the accurate database “Coolprop” for hydrogen thermodynamic properties and sub-models for detailed simulation of MLI degradation, providing a realistic simulation of the experimental data obtained under normal operating conditions. The application of the model to several case studies considering different numbers of MLI layers and tank geometries demonstrates that aluminum-based MLI offers scarce protection in case of exposure to a hydrocarbon poolfire.

This approach offers poor failure resistance and is not economic to build at a large scale. In NICOLHy an alternative cryogenic insulation concept using vacuum insulation panels (VIP) targeted for tanks with capacities from 40 000 m³ to 100 000 m³ is in research. VIPs consist of a gas tight envelope that surrounds a low conductivity core material. Within the envelope, a vacuum is created, which supresses convective heat transfer. Since the core material is typically very low thermal conductivity, while the envelope material has a relatively high thermal conductivity, thermal bridges where two adjoining panels meet cannot be avoided. Modeling of the thermal behaviour of VIPs exists for the building industry, but not for cryogenic temperatures or applications with multiple layers of VIPs, both of which present a new challenge. Here, these challenges and goals for the thermal modeling within the project are presented, alongside an overview over the project itself.

Um die hohe gravimetrische Energiedichte auszunutzen, bietet sich die die Hochdruckspeicherung an. Um die theoretische Festigkeit, die geringe Wasserstoffpermeabilität vom Werkstoff „Glas“ und das Wissen von Griffith auszunutzen, sollten Glaskapillaren zum Einsatz kommen. Glas bietet diverse Möglichkeiten solche Kapillaren anzuordnen. Es beginnt bei der Bündelung von Einzelkapillaren und geht bis hin zu ganzen Strukturen. Allerdings stellt sich auch die Frage wie die Berstdruckfestigkeit optimal ausgenutzt und dabei noch die Permeation und das mechanische Langzeitverhalten beachtet werden kann. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die wichtigen Einzelkomponenten diesbezüglich zu untersuchen und einen Langzeitspeicher mithilfe von Simulationen auszulegen.

The NHS sets out a coherent framework for action for the future production, transportation and use of hydrogen and its derivatives, including the corresponding research, innovations and investments. Various measures have been defined to achieve goals such as the decarbonization of various sectors and the market introduction of hydrogen technologies. This will ultimately lead to the introduction of many “new” technologies in many areas of our daily lives, which will only be successful if decision-makers and the public are convinced that these technologies are safe. Therefore, the safety of hydrogen technologies is an important pillar in gaining and maintaining confidence in these new technologies. Safety must keep pace with, or better still, anticipate trends in technological development in order to avoid overly conservative and expensive safety solutions, and at the same time demonstrate the usability and safety of hydrogen. Otherwise, single incidents – not necessarily explosions – can easily lead to uncertainties and therefore to a decrease in trust and acceptance. The presentation will give an overview of how safety issues are addressed in Germany.

The compounds used were a commercial PEEK matrix with 10 wt.% each of PTFE, graphite, and short carbon fibres, a PPS matrix with 10 wt.% each of PTFE and graphite, and an experimental PA12 matrix with PTFE chemically coupled with an oleyl alcohol. Due to the cylindrical shape of the polymer samples, the contact area and pressure change if wear occurs. Therefore, experimental results of pre-screening tests have been used as input for FEM and an analytical model to determine the decreasing contact pressure over time. Afterwards, the outcome of the models was used to determine the duration of the experiments to reach typical contact pressures of seals in hydrogen compressors.

The methodology applied in current LH2 tanks has some disadvantages while manufacturing and operation of large tanks that may be required in the future. While liquefied natural gas tanks exist in the necessary capacities, they are incompatible with LH2 due to its significantly lower storage temperature. In this paper, the possibility of using vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) as an alternative to the conventional double walled, powder filled vacuum insulation is presented. The two systems are introduced and compared on a conceptual level with a focus on the loss of vacuum failure mode. Furthermore, a test rig that enables the testing and quantification of thermal properties of VIP based insulations in ordinary and loss of vacuum conditions is presented. The test rig is a boil-off calorimeter using liquefied nitrogen and features a square cold surface with a side length of 3 m. An overview over the planned testing and its goals is given.

Therefore, it is necessary to pursue research on material compatibility in hydrogen, especially for critical parts with tribological issues. The focus of this study is to evaluate the influence of hydrogen on a wider range of commercially available polymer materials. Thereby, the friction and wear behavior of different grades of TPE, POM, PA66, PA12, PPA, PEEK, PPS, PTFE, PAI, PI and PBI were investigated against a rotating steel disk (AISI 304). Filled and unfilled polymers from different suppliers were evaluated at room temperature in air, vacuum and hydrogen gas (H2) as well as in liquid hydrogen at - 253°C (LH2). The sliding behavior of the polymer materials is discussed by means of surface analyses, whereby special attention is paid to the formation of a transfer film. According to the results at ambient temperature, the effect of hydrogen environment on the tribological behavior of neat polymers may be related to lack of moisture, but also to saturated hydrocarbons in gaseous hydrogen. In liquid hydrogen, the best tribological performances were achieved with neat PA polymers as well as PPS and PI composites.
