- Design for automotive Hydrogen storage system
- System pre-testing for save vehicle operation
- System build-up ready for vehicle installation
- Model based tank fill level calculation
TRL:
Beginning of project: TRL 2 (technology concept formulated)
Expected TRL end of project: TRL 5 (technology validated in relevant environment)
Main Tasks:
- 5.1 Hydrogen vessel
- 5.2 Hydrogen storage system
- 5.3 Thermodynamic real gas simulation model
Methods:
- Literature and patent study (state of the art, new technologies, competitor activities/products)
- Based on results of vehicle specification from WP2 development of system concept, 3D CAD design with CATIA, design verification by FE methods,
- Evaluation of state of the art, new technologies, competitor activities/products, patents
- Hydrogen vessel design and FE-calculation for evaluation of different approaches and fibre types
- Winding of prototypes and testing of mechanical properties (hydraulic burst test and etc.)
- Functional validation of components and system (cold-fill, climate tests and etc.)
- Model based functional development in Matlab Simulink
- Thermodynamic modelling, simulation and analyses
- FMEA Workshops
- Functional tests with fuel cell and Hydrogen storage system (pre-testing before installation) at WP7
- Hydrogen storage system installation into vehicle at WP8
- Hydrogen storage system verification on vehicle level at WP9
