Abstract [en]
Hydrogen fuel cells are an alternative power supply for electric drive trains and could represent 32 % of fuel demand by 2050. To deploy fuel cell electrical vehicles, there is current regulatory barriers (ISO 14687, OIML recommendations) that requires accurate measurements. The European funded project MetroHyVe has provided solutions and improvements in the four measurements challenges (flow metering, quality control, quality assurance and sampling). New challenges arised due to increase of hydrogen economy, therefore a new European project MetroHyVe 2 started in 2020 and its objectives will provide perspectives for the hydrogen economy to solve all regulatory barriers (ISO 14687, ISO 19880-8, ISO 19880-1, ISO 21087, OIML R139-1) and new measurement challenges (flow metering, quality control, sampling and fuel cell stack testing). The presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the project achievements. The achievements around primary standard for flow metering (light and heavy duty), worldwide inter-laboratory comparison for hydrogen fuel quality, hydrogen sampling intercomparison and fuel cell stack testing recommendations will be highlighted.

Funding details: European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research, EMPIR; Funding details: Horizon 2020; Funding text 1: The Joint Research Project «Metrology for hydrogen vehicles 2» is supported the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research. The EMPIR initiative is co-funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the EMPIR Participating States.; Funding text 2: Climate change, air quality and reliance on imported fuels from non-renewable sources require immediate deployment of alternatives such as hydrogen to meet the 2050 Europe carbon neutral targets (net-zero emission from transport) [1]. Hydrogen fuel cells are an alternative power supply for electric drive trains and could represent 32 % of fuel demand by 2050 [2]. According to 78% of automotive executives polled, FCEVs are “the real breakthrough for e-mobility” [3]. To achieve mass implementation of hydrogen in transport, there is current regulatory barriers. European Directive 2014/94/EU [4] and OIML recommendations [5] must be met by all European hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) and therefore requires accurate measurement and metrology support. European project MetroHyVe was the first metrological project funded by European metrology program for innovation and research (EMPIR) with focus on solving measurement challenges for fuel cell electrical vehicles. These measurement challenges are linked to the regulatory barriers and international standards (hydrogen quality: ISO 14687, hydrogen quality control: ISO 19880-8, flow metering: OIML R139-1, analytical methods: ISO 21087) ([5; 6; 7; 8; 9]. At the end of the project in 2020, it was evident that new measurement challenges arise in relation with the rapid growth of the hydrogen economy. Therefore, a new European project MetroHyVe 2 was funded by EMPIR around four measurement challenges: -Flow metering: to develop and harmonise a metrological framework for testing hydrogen meters used to measure the mass of hydrogen dispensed from HRS using secondary standards for light-duty vehicles and primary or secondary standards for heavy duty FCEV). -Hydrogen quality control (development quality control tool for analytical laboratory (reference materials and inter-laboratory comparison for all contaminants regulated in ISO 14687 and development of metrological guidelines for sensor and analyser at HRS over long period). -Sampling (harmonization of hydrogen sampling methods at HRSs in Europe and worldwide with ASTM and Japan). -Impact of contaminant on Fuel cell stack (reproducibility study with FC stack and inter-comparison evaluation, which will eventually result in a standardisation of automotive FC stack testing). The presentation will highlight the achievement in the four measurement challenges: flow metering, quality control, sampling and Impact of contaminant on Fuel cell stack.
