2. Hydrogen Energy

(2) System and Elemental Technologies for Hydrogen Stations

In connection with the need for promoting the use of hydrogen energy in the future, growth of a market for hydrogen supply infrastructures is envisaged for 2015. In view of this, JPEC has been developing system/elemental technologies which support construction and operation of cost reduction, durable hydrogen refueling stations. In cooperation with affiliated companies and others,
JPEC has been working on the enhancement of the practical performance of hydrogen stations. For this purpose, dynamic models are used for analyzing the pressure behavior and the hydrogen flow rates during refueling up a FCV tank. Various measures are also analyzed for reducing the cost of hydrogen stations.
