Simulator Development of Virtual Experience and Accident Scenarios of Hydrogen Stations for Safety

Nowadays 4 type hydrogen stations have been demonstrated in Korea for preparing hydrogen economy. This simulator is consists of virtual experience modules and virtual accident scenarios of 4 type hydrogen stations. Virtual experience modules show the performance properties through a movie or a virtual reality technology. Also they provide an explanation of hydrogen station equipment and a guide for operators immediately after the accident. Virtual accident scenario modules show accident simulations based on modelling equations as 3D virtual reality. These modules could choose the sham accident for every kind of a station after categorizing all possible accidents in a station A Commercialized CFD program based on hydrogen dispersion model theory shows a movie of accident simulations. The result of a simulator has been developed as web applications. And will be applied to training materials and public relations for a user concerned about hydrogen stations.
