Globally, there is a concentrated effort to lead in alternative energy technologies. Among various eco-friendly energy sources and carbon-free fuels, hydrogen energy is gaining attention as a clean energy solution for future industries, as its only byproduct is water. There are two primary storage methods: compressing hydrogen gas at high pressure and storing it as a liquid. Research on insulation, including the structural design of multi-layer Insulation (MLI) and vapor-cooled shield (VCS), as well as the materials used for insulation, has been actively conducted. However, studies focused on improving the structural safety of the supports that sustain the structure between the inner and outer tanks have been limited. In this study, a thermal-structural coupled analysis technique for liquid hydrogen storage tanks was developed using commercial finite element analysis software for the design of support structures for liquid hydrogen storage tanks. Six analytical models were created based on varying the number and diameter of the supports with the constant total volume of the supports and a structurally safe support configuration was proposed.
