Development of Hydrogen Detection Sensor for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems

In the ongoing debates over the need to identify new sources of energy and to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases.Hydrogen has emerged as one of the most promising alternatives due to its emissions from the vehicle being virtually zero.The governments have identified the development of regulations and standards as one of the key requirements for commercialization of hydrogen-fueled vehicles.Regulations and standards will helpful in overcoming technological barriers to commercialization.Developments of a technique for safety assessment of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle(HFCV) includes four tasks, research for regulation system and policy, hydrogen safety, vehicle operation safety and protection against high-voltage.The objective is to establish a technique for safety assessment and amend safety standards for HFCV and consequently reflect research results to vehicle management policy.We devised safety standards and evaluation techniques with regard to high-pressure gas and high voltage of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.Korean Motor Vehicle Safety Standards(KMVSS) for HFCV was amended to June 10, 2014.including the results of the safety assessment technology for high-voltage and hydrogen characteristics.
