Specific Challenge:It is expected that vehicle architectures will change significantly in the next few years due to major trends in the automotive industry: the increase of electro mobility based on battery technology, which demands flat design spaces in car underbodies and the increasing technology readiness level of autonomous driving, which causes significant vehicle transformations including use of car interiors. Passengers will require space for free movement, which implies among other changes, body structures without central tunnel.
Today gasoline and diesel vehicles share the same installation spaces. Similarly, it would be extremely beneficial if hydrogen drive and battery systems could also share the same vehicle architecture. The integration of both energy systems in the same car body would enable economies of scale, simplify and reduce engineering and manufacturing processes and allow flexible production, which could buffer demand fluctuations. Due to the expected above changes in future car bodies, installation spaces designated for the integration of energy storage cannot be used efficiently with conventional type IV hydrogen cylinders tanks.The major chal...

Due to the expected above changes in future car bodies, installation spaces designated for the integration of energy storage cannot be used efficiently with conventional type IV hydrogen cylinders tanks.The major challenge today is the integration of hydrogen storage systems that fulfil customers’ autonomy range expectations. Development of novel and innovative tank concepts is therefore necessary, in order to be able to integrate hydrogen drive systems into after-2020 future vehicles. The main challenge consists of packaging high pressure hydrogen storage vessels (which used to have cylindrical geometries in conventional pressure vessels) into a rectangular shape for battery spaces while complying with current type-approval regulations EC 79/2009 [20] and UNECE Regulation No.134 [21]. Finding a tank design concept while fulfilling requirements for certification as well as realizing a high storage volume for acceptable vehicle ranges is one of the main obstacles.

Scope:The core goal of this project is the development and validation of an innovative hydrogen 70 MPa tank system in a conformable shape that can be integrated in light-duty vehicles with flat architectures, unsuitable for conventional cylindrical Type IV (Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel, COPV) tanks.
The new storage system concept should take into account especially industrial manufacturability, mechanical safety, low permeation, fire resistance, low costs, high gravimetric and volumetric efficiency, and meet type approval requirements. It should also be compatible with SAE J2601 [22] and allow fast refueling according to SAE J2601 refueling protocols.
It is expected that the new storage system would need to fit into a design space of 1800 x 1300 x 140 mm³. The geometry and concept of the tank system is however not defined yet. The system can consist of one or more separate vessels that are linked in order to form the tank system.
The project should address the analysis, simulation, hardware validation and the Computer-Aided Design, CAD-based vehicle integration of the chosen concept.
It is expected that at least 10 prototypes will be built-up and major performance tests will be conducted in order to validate the concept according to current type-approval regulations. If a concept is chosen such that it shows a tank system consisting of several identical vessels linked to form the tank system, one prototype means one vessel; a vessel defines a closed containment with a separate valve.
The following tests are expected to be performed:
Non-destructive geometric/gravimetric characterization (on at least 2 prototypes);Burst pressure (on at least 3 prototypes);Pressure cycle tests (on at least 3 prototypes);Permeation (on at least 1 prototype);Fire resistance (on at least 2 prototypes); The project should contribute to safety and type-approval standards for conformable hydrogen vessels (especially critical tests like drop and impact test).
TRL at the start of the project: 2 and TRL at the end of the project: 4.
Any safety-related event that may occur during execution of the project shall be reported to the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) dedicated mailbox [email protected], which manages the European hydrogen safety reference database, HIAD and the Hydrogen Event and Lessons LEarNed database, HELLEN.
The consortium should consider collaborating with the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) and using its High Pressure Gas Tank Testing Facility (GASTEF) for conducting hydrogen cycle tests to complement the performance tests requested above.
The project should contribute towards the activities of Mission Innovation - Hydrogen Innovation Challenge. Cooperation with entities from Hydrogen Innovation Challenge member countries, which are neither EU Member States nor Horizon 2020 Associated countries, is encouraged (see chapter 3.3 for the list of countries eligible for funding, and point G. International Cooperation).
The FCH 2 JU considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of EUR 2 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected duration: 3 years

Expected Impact:The project should represent a new approach of mobile hydrogen storage in the EU and, if successful, will generate a true breakthrough, opening the door of the FCEV technology for all types of future vehicle concepts. A prototype would then need to be developed and built within the envelope of the installation space, and the project should result in:
Prototypes designed for storing hydrogen gas at a nominal working pressure of 70 MPa;Developing an understanding for main requirements in future design space;Understanding of manufacturing hurdles and solutions;Demonstration that future fuel cell electric vehicles can share vehicle architectures with battery electric vehicles;Better understanding for temperature changes inside the pressure vessels with new geometries due to hydrogen fueling and defueling;Necessary steps for certification and standardization of investigated pressure vessel geometries should be shown (especially critical tests like drop and impact test). The project should measure its impact through the following KPIs:
Volumetric efficiency (according to the FCH 2 JU target for 2024): Within the H2 tank system > 0.033 kg H2/L system;Within the estimated design space (1800 x 1300 x 140 mm³) > 45 % (stored H2 volume within design space volume); Gravimetric efficiency (according to the FCH 2 JU target for 2024) > 5.7 %;Costs for tank system < 400€/kg H2;Permeation < 46 cm³/h/l at 55 °C (according to UNECE Regulation No.134);No leakage or burst of the vessel may occur under an engulfing fire affecting the whole tank at a temperature higher than 590 °C for a duration of at least 10 minutes, according to UNECE Regulation No.134;Burst pressure > 157.5 MPa (according to UNECE Regulation No.134);Hydraulic pressure cycle test: no leakage before 11,000 cycles and no burst before 22,000 cycles at 87.5 MPa (according to UNECE Regulation No.134). The conditions related to this topic are provided in the chapter 3.3 of the FCH2 JU 2020 Annual Work Plan and in the General Annexes to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018– 2020 which apply mutatis mutandis.

7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the H2020 main Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
