Hydrogen Safety for Energy Applications: Engineering Design, Risk Assessment, and Codes and Standards presents different aspects of the contemporary knowledge regarding hazard, risk and safety connected with hydrogen systems. In the initial part of the book, the hydrogen fundamentals and the main hydrogen technologies are described and discussed. It then explores scientific aspects of the possible sources and consequences of accidental events that can occur when hydrogen is used, including in its vehicular applications. Risk assessment, as well as the safety measures/safety barriers applicable in such situations, are considered. A short survey concerning legal aspects is presented in the last part. Provides factual material, such as models, correlations, tables, nomograms and formulas, that can be used to perform evaluations and propose mitigation measures to diminish risk probability in hydrogen energy systems Presents reference data and detailed descriptions and guidelines of the contemporary risk assessment methodologies Covers accident phenomena and consequences of accidents specific to hydrogen systems in a widely applicable way for the wide variety of hydrogen activities
