Metal Hydride and Heat Storage System Study

STATUS | Completed
STATUS DATE | 20/05/2019
ACTIVITY CODE | 4D.024

Objectives

The objective of the project is to design, manufacture and set up a Technology Demonstrator of the Metal Hydride Hydrogen and Heat Storage System, and demonstrate the functional performance and evaluate the long term performance. In parallel, a system study shall investigate the impact on mass and volume by introducing this novel technology into the RFCS.

Challenges

The main challenge of the project is the selection of the solid state material to store hydrogen. 

System Architecture

Please consult the Company.

Plan

After selection of a core material, the reactor was designed, manufactured and tested.

Current Status

Completed.
