High pressure gaseous hydrogen (HPGH2) storage offers the simplest solution in terms of infrastructure requirements and has become the most popular and highly developed method. HPGH2 storage vessel is the key equipment for HPGH2 storage system. China issued the first national standard on HPGH2 storage vessel named “stationary flat steel ribbon wound vessels for storage of high pressure hydrogen” in 2011. Some crucial technical points are involved in this standard, such as material selection, design method for the shell’s thickness, mehod for determining the winding parameters and detection techniques for the attaching quality between the flat steel ribbon layers. In this paper, a brief introduction is given to the aforementioned technical points.

Practical application of fuel cell vehicle has started in the world, and high-pressure hydrogen tanks are currently considered to be the mainstream hydrogen storage system for commercially implemented fuel cell vehicle. Application of metallic materials to the components of high-pressure hydrogen storage system: hydrogen tanks, valves, measuring instructions and so on, have been discussed. In this work, tensile properties of four types of stainless steels were evaluated in 45MPa (6527psig) and 75MPa (10878psig) high-pressure gaseous hydrogen at a slow strain rate of 3×10−6 s−1 at ambient temperature. Type 316L (UNS S31603) stainless steel hardly showed ductility loss in gaseous hydrogen, since it had stable austenitic structure. On the other hand, Type 304 (UNS S30400) metastable austenitic stainless steel showed remarkable ductility loss in gaseous hydrogen, which was caused by the hydrogen embrittlement of strain induced martensitic phase. Likewise, Type 205 (UNS S20500) nitrogen-strengthened austenitic stainless steel showed remarkable ductility loss in gaseous hydrogen, though it had stable austenitic structure in the same manner as Type 316L. The ductility loss of Type 205 was due to the hydrogen embrittlement of austenitic phase resulting from the formation of planar dislocation array. Furthermore, Type 329J4L (UNS S31260) duplex stainless steel showed extreme ductility loss in gaseous hydrogen, which was caused by the hydrogen embrittlement of ferritic phase.

Ultra-High Pressure Vessel (UHPV) with self-protective Flat Steel Ribbons (FSR) wound and Tooth-Locked Quick-Actuating (TLQA) end closure is a new type of vessel developed in recent years. When the structural parameters of its TLQA and Buttress Thread (BT) end closure are determined using the ordinary engineering design method, Design by Analysis (DBA) shows that the requirement on fatigue life of this unique UHPV could hardly be satisfied. To solve the above problem, an integrated FE modeling method has been proposed in this paper. To investigate the fatigue life of TLQA and BT end closures of a full-scale unique UHPV, a three-dimensional (3-D) Finite Element (FE) solid model and a two-dimensional (2-D) FE axisymmetric model are built in FE software ANSYS, respectively., Nonlinear FE analysis and orthogonal testing are both conducted to obtain the optimum structure strength, in which the peak stress in the TLQA or BT end closure of the unique UHPV is taken as an optimal target. The important parameters, such as root structure of teeth, contact pressure between the pre-stressed collar and the cylinder end, the knuckle radius, the buttress thread profile and the local structure of the cylinder, are optimized. As a result, both the stress distribution at the root of teeth and the axial load carried by each thread are improved. Therefore, the load-carrying capacity of the end closure has been reinforced and the fatigue life of unique UHPV has been extended.

Stress analysis of flat steel ribbon wound pressure vessels (FSRWPVs) is very difficult because they have a special discrete structure and complex pretensions exit in the flat steel ribbons, which are wound around the inner shell layer by layer. An analytical multilayered model for stress analysis is presented in this paper, which involves the effect of prestress in every flat steel ribbon layer as well as in the inner shell. Based on this model, an optimal design method for FSRWPV is suggested, which can assure a reasonable stress level and distribution along the wall thickness during the operation. A practical example of a large FSRWPV is finally given for illustration.
