Hydrogen Component Performance Diagnostic Testing: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-18-743

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

H2@Scale is focused on the wide scale adoption of hydrogen as a flexible energy storage medium. Due to the low volumetric energy density of gaseous hydrogen, compressors are an essential component of hydrogen storage. Hydrogen compressors that support a flexible grid and on-demand vehicle fueling undergo challenging operating conditions, such as a high number of start and stop cycles and wide input and discharge pressure ranges. Equally robust components are required for these conditions while still meeting the financial requirements of sustainable hydrogen compression.
