ABSTRACTHydrogen is under consideration by several countries for its potential as an energy carrier for transportation applications. In order to compete with vehicles in use today, hydrogen-powered vehicles will require a driving range of greater than 300-miles in order to meet customer needs and expectations. For the overall vehicular light-duty fleet, this dictates that a range of 5 to 13 kg of hydrogen be stored on-board (assuming a fuel cell power plant) within stringent system weight, volume, and cost constraints. Vehicular hydrogen storage thus constitutes a major scientific and technological challenge. To meet this challenge, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiated a “National Hydrogen Storage Project” with roughly 40 universities, 15 companies and 10 federal laboratories, actively engaged in hydrogen storage research. Centers of Excellence in metal hydrides, chemical hydrides, and carbon-based materials have been established, as well as independent university and industry projects in the areas of new concepts/materials, hydrogen storage testing, and storage system analysis. Recent technical progress in each of these areas is discussed.

Hydrogen plays an important role recently and recognized by various organizations (public and private) to replace fossil fuel in future transportation applications. Recently, research institutes in Malaysia are the focus of the studies on hydrogen technology in order to drive this energy in transportation applications. Since Hydrogen and fuel cells are viewed as one of the most important energy conversion devices in the future, thus the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) had identified this energy as priority research after solar. Just like normal refueling stations, hydrogen stations and its infrastructure must be planned, designed, and operated in accordance with the properties. Safety consideration of hydrogen system installation and its application can consider as one of the major issues influencing the acceptance of hydrogen for public use. The current methodology of hydrogen production and storage system was surveyed in this paper, and the characteristics of the system as well as their advantages and limitation were reviewed. Besides, this study has investigated and discussed the potential hazards associated with hydrogen refueling facilities such as hydrogen production, storage and dispensing system. These preliminary safety considerations in hazard identifications are intended to figure out the potential hazard and thus analyze the hazard in each of the sub-system before the full quantitative risk assessment take place. Thus, a framework for the entire risk analysis of hydrogen fueling stations was established.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) tocapture of CO2 from the flue gas of a power plant that typically use coal as a Source of energy and then store it ina suitable geological storage (in specific locations). In practice, these sites may not be readily available forstorage at the same time that the Sources (GHG producing) are operating which gives rise to multi – periodplanning problems. This study presents a mathematical approach by considering constraints limit flowratereceived by Sink, various time availability of Sink and Source and calculation with the purpose to determine theminimum cost network which is getting the maximum load that is exchanged from Source to Sink. Illustrativecase studies are given to demonstrate the application of mathematical models to obtained with the exact result ofthe exchange network from Source to Sink. Derived from network obtained from the calculation of theMaximum Load Source to Sink and results may vary in accordance with the limitations that exist in themathematical model. The case study has been prepared with 2 cases, first 6 Source and 3 Sink with value ofSource Load is greater than the amount available on the Sink. Also, second case is 2 Source and 5 Sinkwithvalue of Source Load is smaller than the amount available on the Sink. In addition, Case Studies tominimize the cost of pipeline construction and distribution of CO2 by plant and storage location determination inJava. Flowrate restriction factor that goes into Sink, Source and Sink establishment time and cost are taken intoaccount can affect the networks that can be exchanged from the Source to the Sink.

A new emergency shutdown procedure for a direct-fired fuel cell turbine hybrid power system was evaluated using a hardware-based simulation of an integrated gasifier/fuel cell/turbine hybrid cycle (IGFC), implemented through the Hybrid Performance (Hyper) project at the National Energy Technology Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy (NETL). The Hyper facility is designed to explore dynamic operation of hybrid systems and quantitatively characterize such transient behavior. It is possible to model, test, and evaluate the effects of different parameters on the design and operation of a gasifier/fuel cell/gas turbine hybrid system and provide a means of quantifying risk mitigation strategies. An open-loop system analysis regarding the dynamic effect of bleed air, cold air bypass, and load bank is presented in order to evaluate the combination of these three main actuators during emergency shutdown. In the previous Hybrid control system architecture, catastrophic compressor failures were observed when the fuel and load bank were cut off during emergency shutdown strategy. Improvements were achieved using a nonlinear fuel valve ramp down when the load bank was not operating. Experiments in load bank operation show compressor surge and stall after emergency shutdown activation. The difficulties in finding an optimal compressor and cathode mass flow for mitigation of surge and stall using these actuators are illustrated.

This article focuses on research and implementation of a kind of solid storage system that is based on NAND flash which can store the data with high speed and huge capacity. A design with quad 1.25Gsps ADC and flash storage array with 1TB is demonstrated in the paper. The design is applied widely in many fields such as radar, communication and speech recognition. The detail of hardware development is also introduced in the thesis. In addition, a method is discussed to approve the reading and writing bandwidth by parallel operations on multiple pieces of flash. By using the method, the data bandwidth is arrived 6GB/S.
