STUDY ON THE HIGH FLEXIBILITY METAL HYDRIDE TANK FOR STATIONARY TOTALIZED HYDROGEN ENERGY UTILIZATION SYSTEM WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY

摘要

In order to develop high flexibility metal hydride tank, experiments and numerical simulations were performed. Under the condition of unstable hydrogen supply, it was experimentally verifiable that the metal hydride tank can be stored stably. Also the validity of the simulation code was checked as compared with the experiment results. The simulations show the relations between the circulation water condition and the metal hydride tank situation. It turned out that it can maintain at design pressure by controlling cooling water flow rate according to the hydrogen pressure of a tank.
