Abstract

The formation and development of hydrogen power engineering (HPE) as a technologically efficient and competitive part of the future with a carbon-free or low-carbon economic paradigm makes it necessary to overcome many obstacles related not only to the maturity, availability, and economic efficiency of technologies but also to a sufficient, socially acceptable level of safety in HPE. Even if most technological and economic issues are resolved, the pace of adopting scientific and engineering developments in HPE on an industrial and commercial scale may be inhibited by the level of comprehensive (analytical, theoretical and computational, experimental) scientific and engineering support for safety in HPE facilities, networks, and systems throughout their entire life cycle (from design to decommissioning) and the completeness and sufficiency of the regulatory framework for both, new reactor centers with related new technologies and infrastructural HPE safety systems. Three classes of correlated challenges in the theoretical computational, experimental, and regulatory support safety in HPE are formulated and described in brief. Their timely resolution is critical to the successful transition to the carbon-free technological paradigm.

Notes

  1. The terms performance-based framework and goal-based framework are used hereafter as synonymous.

  2. This term is borrowed from the theory of maintaining safety of high-responsibility systems, such as nuclear power engineering, fuel (oil, gas) power generation, and airspace industry.
