“…The goal of the project was to identify a sensor or sensor method that could respond to either hydrogen or helium releases, identify a technology that could survive the impacts of vehicle crash tests and still meet the metrological requirements for verification of the FCEV fuel system integrity as per the GTR requirements, and to develop a method for on-board monitoring of the sensor either in real time or extractable for post-crash test analysis. The results of this study are briefly summarized in the next section, and a comprehensive summary was published as an NREL report [8]. All project requirements were successfully completed.…”

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Global Technical Regulation (GTR) Number 13 (Global Technical Regulation on Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicles) is the defining document regulating safety requirements in hydrogen vehicles, and in particular, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). GTR Number 13 has been formally adopted and will serve as the basis for the national regulatory standards for FCEV safety in North America (led by the United States), Japan, Korea, and the European Union. The GTR defines safety requirements for these vehicles, including specifications on the allowable hydrogen levels in vehicle enclosures during in-use and post-crash conditions and on the allowable hydrogen emissions levels in vehicle exhaust during certain modes of normal operation. However, in order to be incorporated into national regulations, that is, to be legally binding, methods to verify compliance with the specific requirements must exist. In a collaborative program, the Sensor Laboratories at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in the United States and the Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport in the Netherlands have been evaluating and developing analytical methods that can be used to verify compliance with the hydrogen release requirements as specified in the GTR.

“…The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation recently performed a series of crash tests on FCEVs [19]. One purpose of the test was to verify that FCEV could be instrumented to verify compliance with the GTR safety requirements.…”

(NREL) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize collaborations in specific Thematic Areas both parties agreed to. The terms of the technical program (aims, means, and deliverables) were detailed in Technical Annexes appended to the MOA. Technical Annex 1 was titled "Hydrogen Sensor Performance, Testing and Evaluation." As part of the MOA, each party established a Steering Committee to guide cooperative activities implemented under the MOA. The Steering Committee meets once a year to review the cooperative activities implemented, to evaluate their effectiveness, and to develop plans. The first Steering Committee meeting was held by videoconference on 22 September 2011; the second meeting is scheduled for 3 December 2012. The MOA was to be in effect for two years and subject to renewal. This report summarizes the joint activities undertaken within the framework of the MOA on hydrogen sensor performance testing. For the purposes of evaluation, these activities, results, and impacts are reported against the Objectives specified in the Technical Annex of the MOA. Suggestions for future joint activities are also proposed.
