Hydrogen Prototype Equipment for Refuelling - HyPER

气候变化是当今我们面临的最大威胁之一（全球大趋势）。为了应对这一挑战，能源行业必须彻底转型！英国政府最近加强了对清洁氢生产和使用的支持，这一立场与欧盟、北美、澳大利亚和日本的战略一致。很明显，氢将在包括交通运输在内的许多行业的脱碳中发挥关键作用，尤其是重型货车和远程运输。为了使该行业快速且经济高效地脱碳，氢燃料补给基础设施需要扩大规模，减少资本和运营支出。加氢站的一个特殊方面对其成本、有效运行以及公众接受度都至关重要，那就是对加氢量的精确计量。该项目首次将三个合作伙伴（Hy-Met， LEL和WMG）聚集在一起，为加氢站（HRS）开发最佳测量解决方案，特别是首先满足重型车辆的要求，未来也可以扩大规模，以瞄准适合航运和航空航天的大型加油应用。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，以模拟为主导的新产品开发活动的设计优化。25年来，LEL一直处于氢和燃料电池领域发展的最前沿，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设计，设计优化和改进设计。TUV-SUD-NEL是英国指定的流量和密度测量研究所，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的分配数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分包给该项目，为Hy-met和LEL开发的任何新仪表技术提供独立的、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.
