HYDROGEN TRANSPORT FUEL

THE PROBLEM

Electricity cannot be easily stored

• Renewable power cannot be scheduled• Renewable power cannot be scheduled• Supply and demand balancing act• The system needs energy storage• Power to hydrogen is 70% efficient• Power to hydrogen is 70% efficient• Separates Power from Energy• Low Cost Electricity → High Grade Fuel

POSITIONINGPOSITIONINGENERGY STORAGE | CLEAN FUEL

THE SOLUTION

Production of hydrogen controlled by the electricity companies

• Balancing supply and demand • Supports further RE integration• Control shifts to the demand sideControl shifts to the demand side• Switched on/off by the power company• On site fuel production• Protection from rising fuel costsProtection from rising fuel costs


A TRIPLE ZERO FUEL

On-site production of hydrogen from renewable power

• Zero carbon in its production• Zero carbon in its transportation• Zero exhaust emissionsZero exhaust emissions

THE ROUTE TO CE COMPLIANCEEssential to enable sale in the EU (CB is international)

• Mandatory for certain groups of products

• Indicates conformity with essential health & safety requirements

• Requirements are set out in a series of EU Directives

• CE by self-declaration or assessment by Notified Bodies (NoBo’s)

• NoBo involvement for PED is compulsory above category 1

ITM Power’s approach:

• ITM used Gastec at CRE Ltd to establish relevant regulations & Directives

• ITM show conformity with Directives through harmonised standards

• Electrolyser standard ISO 22734-1 not harmonised to EU Directives

• Requires a comprehensive Technical File


INITIAL SCREENINGUnderstanding the process and relevant directives

• The initial challenge was identification of the relevant EU Directives

• Gastec at CRE undertook a pre-assessment audit of the prototype systems

• Report generated to identify Directives, routes forward and likely issues

• Retained Gastec as consultant through the whole process

• Utilised experience on a variety of interpretation issues

• Regulatory information now available via the outcome of the HYPER project

PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVEDirective 97/23/EC concerning pressure equipment

• Pressure vessel category defined by combination of volume & pressure

• Sound Engineering Practices (voluntary assessment) apply to small systems <25 bar litres

• HPac & HBox contain Category II vessels and so required assessment by Notified Body

• Vessel design assessed to EN 13445 series of unfired pressure vessel standards

• Witnessed pressure tests (including unannounced visits)

• Notified Body – Det Norsk Veritas (DNV)

• Registered for PED in Oslo, local inspectors in Sheffield


ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)Directive 2004/108/EC relating to electromagnetic compatibility

• Requires specialist equipment & expertise

• Trained two staff and loaned equipment to pre-test prototype systems

• Formal testing undertaken by Notified Body

• Testing stresses power supply and control system with focus on:

• Immunity to electromagnetic interference

• Electromagnetic radiation emissions

• Achieved compliance with more stringent limits set by:

• EN 61000-6-2:2005 “Immunity for industrial environments”

• EN 61000-6-3:2007 “Residential, commercial and light industrial”

• Notified Body –York EMC Services Ltd

• Typically 3 days testing per product


MACHINERY & LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVESDirective 2005/42/EC (Machinery) & Directive 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage)

• Directives are mutually exclusive – use one or the other

• MD is not applicable in systems with no moving parts

• LVD relates to electrical equipment used within certain voltage limits

• Both are voluntary certificates of conformity and require:

• Electrical system tests

• Evidence of control system operation

• Product risk assessment

• Comprehensive Technical File

• Product manual

• Compliance with EN 60204–1(General electrical safety)

• Notified Body – CCQS UK Ltd

• A very wide ranging Directive


ATEX DIRECTIVES (ATEX)Two Directives 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) & 1999/92/EC (ATEX 137)

ATEX 95: equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

• Electrolysers / fuel cells would not usually need to conform to ATEX 95

• Requirement to ensure explosive atmospheres do not exist within the product

• No ignition sources is part of the machinery directive

ATEX 137: H&S protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres

• Product CE marking is not required to address ATEX 137

• No formalised approval route for hydrogen & fc stationary installation

• Guidance on safe installation generated from the HYPER project

• ATEX Directives do not apply to the domestic environment

• Consultacy given by NoBo’s SIRA and BASEEFA


TECHNICAL FILEA location for all product information

• General Description

• List of applicable Directives and standards

• Standards checklists

• Risk Assessment

• Pictures and detailed engineering drawings and calculations

• Test reports and EHSR checklist

• Evidence of compliance with Directives

• Instruction manuals

• Name plate

• List of safety critical parts & evidence of conformity

• Safety data sheets

• Sales literature

• Declaration of conformity


DECLARATION OF CONFORMITYA statement of compliance to all relevant Directives

• Lists Directives which product conforms to

• Identifies Notified Bodies and specifics of Directives

• Address of manufacturer – the keeper of technical file

• Description of the equipment

• List of harmonised standards applied

• Signature of responsible person typically a Director
