본 연구에서는 수소 자원의 활용도가 높아짐에 따라 수소 저장 용기의 내진 성능을 평가하기 위해 수소 저장 시설을 방문하여 현장 조사를 수행하였다. 외관 조사 중, 수조 저장 용기의 지지부에서 부식이 진행됨을 확인하였고, 이에 대한 대책안 으로 내부식성 재료인 CFRP로 대체하여 성능을 평가, 검증하였다. 이를 위해 현장 조사 결과를 바탕으로 상용 유한요소해석 프 로그램인 ABAQUS를 사용하였으며, 해석 결과 CFRP로 제작된 수소 저장 용기의 지지부는 강재 대비 약 12배 이상 뛰어난 성 능을 보였다. Hashin Damage Criteria를 기반으로 CFRP 지지부의 안전성 검토를 수행한 결과 최대 손상 지수가 0.065로 확인되 었다. 기초부 콘크리트의 경우, 쪼갬 및 휨 인장 응력에 대한 안전성을 검토하였으며, 허용 강도 대비 7~36%의 안전도를 보였 다. 이를 근거로 CFRP를 수소 저장 용기의 지지부에 적용하는 것은 합리적이며, 뛰어난 경제성을 보인다. 다만, 이러한 결과는 수치 해석에 의하므로 실규모 지진동 모사 시험을 통해 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 보충할 필요가 있다.

Hydrogen is considered as one of the most promising future energy carriers due to its noteworthy advantages of renewable and high calorific value. The long-term storage of liquid hydrogen with low heat leakage is essential for future deep space exploration. Because of low critical temperature and volatility, liquid hydrogen tank poses severe requirements to multi-layer insulation (MLI). In order to reduce heat leak into tank, vapor cooled shield (VCS) was set up to cool MLI by retrieving the heat of discharged cryogenic gas hydrogen. This paper presents an parametric study on insulation system in liquid hydrogen storage vessel with MLI and VCS. Thermal model was developed, and heat transfer analysis by varying VCS position was conducted. Temperature and heat flux distributions along time passing were derived, and effect of VCS position on insulation performance was investigated.

In order to respond to environmental pollution, developed countries, including Korea, have begun to conduct research to utilize hydrogen energy. For mass transfer of hydrogen energy, storage as liquid hydrogen is advantageous, and in this case, the volume can be reduced to 1/800. As such, the transportation technology of liquefied hydrogen for ships is expected to be needed in the near future, but there is no commercialized method yet. This study is a study on the technology to test the performance of the components constituting the membrane type storage container in a cryogenic environment as a preparation for the above. It is a study to find a way to respond by analyzing in advance the problems that may occur during the shear test of adhesives. Through this study, the limitations of ISO4587 were analyzed, and in order to cope with this, the specimen was supplemented so that fracture occurred in the adhesive, not the adhesive gripper, by using stainless steel, a low-temperature steel, to reinforce the thickness. Based on this, shear evaluation was performed under conditions lowered to minus 243℃, and it was confirmed that the breaking strength was higher at cryogenic temperatures.
