ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF HYDROGEN AS A FUEL IN THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Abstract
The Growing concern about climate change and the actions that need to be taken to protect environment have begun to occupy the top places on global agenda in recent years. Transport of the future will look different: ecological, economic and maximum efficiency. But it's not only car manufacturers who are making efforts to reduce as much as possible the climate impact of vehicles. One of solutions is and the major interest of using hydrogen as a viable answer for decarbonizing industrial processes and economic sectors where carbon reduction is both urgent and difficult to achieve. Thus, a new approach to climate policy is required, the development of storage technologies and charging infrastructure, in order to have a healthier way of life and a cleaner environment. The paper presents an analysis of all aspects, from the point of view of explosion protection, for use hydrogen as an alternative fuel source, using simulation in MATLAB-Simulink of production, storage and use it. All these processes can generate critical situations, and the analysis of pressures, temperatures and other defining parameters are of major importance for the assessment of explosion risks in the context of safety and health and environmental protection, the minimum ignition energy of hydrogen being about 17 ?J.
