Hydrogen Prototype Equipment for Refuelling - HyPER

气候变化是我们今天面临的最大威胁之一（全球大趋势）。为了应对这一挑战，能源行业必须进行彻底的变革！英国政府最近加强了对清洁氢气生产和使用的支持，这一立场符合欧盟、北美、澳大利亚和日本的战略。很明显，氢气将在许多行业的脱碳中发挥关键作用，包括移动性，特别是重型货车和长途运输。为了使该行业快速、经济高效地脱碳，加氢基础设施需要扩大规模，降低资本和运营费用。加氢站的一个特殊方面对成本和有效运营至关重要，因此也是公众接受度的关键，那就是对分配的氢气进行精确计量。（Hy-Met、LEL和WMG）首次为加氢站（HRS）开发最佳测量解决方案，特别是首先用于重型车辆的要求，其在将来也可以按比例放大以针对适合于航运和航空航天的更大的燃料供给应用。Hy-Met的核心竞争力在于定制传感器设计，以适应目标应用和相关的电子/信号处理算法开发，并具有出色的内部能力，能够对新产品开发活动进行模拟主导的设计优化。LEL一直处于氢和燃料电池领域发展的最前沿超过25年，是英国领先的HRS制造商之一。WMG为该项目带来了最先进的高价值制造能力-从而实现了Hy-Met创新计量概念制造方面的快速原型制作、设计优化和设计改进。TUV-SUD-NEL是英国指定的流量和密度测量机构，是英国国家测量系统的一部分。通过参与欧盟项目和内部研发，他们已经参与HRS的流量计量超过三年，到2021年7月（目前正在由LEL建设）将拥有英国唯一能够测试HRS分配量和流量计量系统的设施（它将成为英国该应用的主要物理流量标准）。TUV-SUD-NEL将由Hy-met分包给本项目，为Hy-met和LEL开发的任何新仪表技术提供独立、可追溯的性能评估。

Climate change is one of the top threats facing us today (a global mega trend). To address this challenge the energy industry must transform, radically! The UK Government has recently reinforced its support for the production and use of clean hydrogen, a position which is in line with the strategies of the EU, North America, Australia, and Japan. It is clear hydrogen will play a critical role in decarbonising many sectors including mobility, especially heavy-duty goods vehicles and long-range transport. For this sector to decarbonise quickly and cost-effectively hydrogen refuelling infrastructure needs to scale in size and reduce in capital & operating expenses. One particular aspect of a refuelling station critical to its cost, and effective operation, and therefore public acceptance, is the accurate metering of the dispensed hydrogen.This project brings together three partners (Hy-Met, LEL, and WMG), for the first time to develop an optimal measurement solution for hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS), particularly for heavy-duty vehicle requirements first that could also be scaled-up in the future to target larger fuelling applications suitable for shipping and aerospace. Hy-Met's core competencies lie in bespoke sensor design to fit target applications and associated electronics/signal processing algorithm development and have excellent in-house capability for simulation-led design optimisation of new product development activities. LEL has been at the forefront of developments in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector for over 25 years and is one of the UK's leading HRS manufacturers. WMG brings state-of-the-art high-value manufacturing capability to this project -- thus enabling rapid prototyping, design optimisation and refinement of design for manufacture aspects of Hy-Met's innovative metering concept(s). TUV-SUD-NEL are the UK's Designated Institute for Flow and Density measurement, part of the UK's National Measurement System. They have been involved in flow metering for HRS for over three years through involvement in EU projects and in-house R&D, and by July 2021 (it is currently under construction by LEL) will have the only facility in the UK capable of testing the dispensed quantity and flow metering systems of HRS (it will be the UK's primary physical flow standard for this application). TUV-SUD-NEL will be subcontracted by Hy-met to this project to provide independent, traceable performance assessment of any new meter technology developed by Hy-Met and LEL.
