The present international socio-economic drive for renewable energy use for sustainable development with environmental protection directs attention to hydrogen as energy carrier. Hydrogen production and storage, and fuel cell (FC) technologies have been intensively worked on in Europe including European Commission (EC) supported projects via Framework Programs (FPs), as well as various national and international cooperative programs including those of International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Partnership for Hydrogen Economy (IPHE). The hydrogen storage is required for transport applications as dense as possible to achieve high gravimetric and volumetric density. The storage of hydrogen in liquid, gas and solid forms are associated with low temperature cooling, higher pressures up to 700 bar and integrated higher volume and weight, respectively. The liquid and pressurized gas storage systems are relatively advanced in present applications. On the other hand, the system safety and reliability, hence the public acceptance as well as economic feasibility have been the main drives for solid and hybrid hydrogen applications. The use of solid hydrogen is predicted by the automotive industry to ultimately dominate the hydrogen transport application market. The bottleneck in solid hydrogen application is metal hydride production to meet the quantitative targets for vehicles mainly following the US DOE goals set for years up to 2015. System requirements need also be met for a present target of e.g. 75kWel fuel cell cars aiming at a 400km driving distance with 4 kg of hydrogen. This necessitates a gravimetric storage density of over 6 wt. per cent. The present paper will address the hydrogen storage tank system for on-board applications including storage tank materials, system design, production technologies and system safety. An overview will be presented on the current state-of-the-art of European and international progress on storage materials integrated into on-board storage tank system. The European current programs on hydrogen storage technologies for transport applications including design, safety and system reliability will be addressed.

In some areas, the problem of wind and solar power curtailment is prominent. Hydrogen energy has the advantage of high storage density and a long storage time. Multi-energy hybrid systems including renewable energies, batteries and hydrogen are designed to solve this problem. In order to reduce the power loss of the converter, an AC-DC hybrid bus is proposed. A multi-energy experiment platform is established including a wind turbine, photovoltaic panels, a battery, an electrolyzer, a hydrogen storage tank, a fuel cell and a load. The working characteristics of each subsystem are tested and analyzed. The multi-energy operation strategy is based on state monitoring and designed to enhance hydrogen utilization, energy efficiency and reliability of the system. The hydrogen production is guaranteed preferentially and the load is reliably supplied. The system states are monitored, such as the state of charge (SOC) and the hydrogen storage level. The rated and ramp powers of the battery and fuel cell and the pressure limit of the hydrogen storage tank are set as safety constraints. Eight different operation scenarios comprehensively evaluate the system’s performance, and via physical experiments the proposed operation strategy of the multi-energy system is verified as effective and stable.

This study developed a heating mechanism applicable to hydrogen storage tank, in order to enhance the stability and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). This study discussed two heating modes. The first mode was using heating wire to wind the hydrogen storage tank body. Heating wires were used to wind the upper, middle and lower parts of the hydrogen storage tank and the whole tank respectively for discussion. The second heating mode was to use the PEMFC cathode waste heat to heat the hydrogen storage tank body. This study discussed the variations of hydrogen release rate and tank body temperature with the hydrogen release time in different heating mechanisms. The research results can serve as reference for system design in various applications.
