Abstract

In order to assess more rigorously the risks of hydrogen refueling stations (HRSs) with consideration of uncertainties, an uncertainty analysis method integrating the Hydrogen Plus Other Alternative Fuels Risk Assessment Models (HyRAM+), Monte Carlo simulation, and Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method is proposed in this paper. In order to discuss and demonstrate the potential ability of the proposed method, the leak risk of a 35 MPa dispenser at a HRS is assessed. The results indicate that the proposed method can effectively quantify the leak risk uncertainty of the dispenser at a HRS. These uncertainties considered have significant effects on the leak risks of the dispenser, and the risk contribution of jet fire is much larger than that from explosion. Moreover, the leak risk of the dispenser is underestimated by the HyRAM+, so it should be used by combining a reliable safety factor. Current work can provide a more accurate method for the risk assessment and performance-based design of HRSs.
