Hydrogen Station

Through the development of the entire system of the hydrogen charging station, the failure diagnosis of the nozzle and the nozzle replacement cycle are analyzed to recognize the failure of the hydrogen charging station system, and to suggest ways to improve problems.

In the case of hydrogen charging stations in Korea, the localization ratio of core component technologies is low. For these reason, it is necessary to expand the market size, and because of frequent failures of hydrogen charging stations, it is essential to secure market acceptability through localization of core components. In addition, since hydrogen charging stations currently use single-hose hydrogen chargers that cannot be simultaneously charged, major core parts of dual-type hydrogen chargers are organized, and research is being conducted accordingly.

It is intended to verify the performance of the core parts by implementing not only the nozzle but also the entire system to implement all situations during the supply, charging, compression, and storage of the hydrogen charging station. Through this research, it can be actualized to expand the market acceptability of hydrogen charging stations by presenting efficient operation strategies of charging stations through performance and efficiency comparison and presenting improvement directions through problem and fault diagnosis.
