Summary
The development of hydrogen powered heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) is key to be able to decarbonise transport of passengers and goods. To achieve this effectively, hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) technologies need to be upgraded to address the refuelling needs of heavy-duty vehicles. The actions described herein will contribute to bring appropriate HDV HRS and HDV HRS components on the market.
Detailed Call Description
To fulfil future HDV refuelling needs such as fuelling a 100 kg HD truck storage system in 10 minutes, an HDV refuelling point should reach a mean fuelling rate of approximatively 170 g/s with a peak fuelling rate up to 300 g/s. To guarantee optimal refuelling performances, reliabilities and costs for a wide range of possible HDV storage capacities and configurations, new fuelling protocols based on advanced and safe communication between vehicle and station (e.g. the one developed in ISO TC 197 WG24 based notably on feedback from PRHYDE project) should be implemented. To meet these requirements, proposals should develop, test and certify appropriate components to bring them to commercialisation.
Proposals should address:
- Qualification of the components:
- Identify the gaps in terms of standards, market availability and testing;
- Perform a qualification roadmap individual for each component, with specific targets;
- At the end of the project, identify potential missing gaps, components, experience to be continued before full market implementation.
- Qualification of the protocol:
- Implement the components developed in the qualification program or potential alternatives
- Define a refueling protocol validation roadmap, accounting for available standards
- Check that each component performs as expected in a full assembly
- Validate the protocol on various testing
- Dissemination of the outcomes;
