Hydrogen Safety for Energy Applications: Engineering Design, Risk Assessment, and Codes and Standards presents different aspects of contemporary knowledge regarding the hazards, risks and safety connected with hydrogen systems. Sections cover the main hydrogen technologies and explore the scientific aspects of 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 also considered. Finally, a short survey concerning legal aspects is presented.

Zielgruppe

<p>The proposed book outline indicates a highly technical content focused on hydrogen, hydrogen-involved equipment, and potential hydrogen reactions. This content seems appropriately targeted towards an engineering audience with advanced knowledge of related gaseous systems. Engineers engaged in developing safety regulations and permitting, those involved in designing industrial systems or hydrogen-related products, and those with responsibilities in risk management and mitigation seem a likely primary target for the proposed book. The proposed book would also find an audience in academia as an educational material for graduate- or higher-level engineering students, and perhaps to a lesser extent in related fields such as chemistry, physics, or in technically oriented policy or regulatory studies.</p>

Kotchourko, Alexei
A. Kotchourko is working in the field of nuclear and industrial safety since the mid-1980s. He has received his doctoral degree on chemical physics including physics of combustion and explosions in 1988 having a position in Russian national research center 'Kurchatov Institute'. Currently he works in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as staff scientist. He has published or presented more than 200 safety pertinent papers with the focus in numerical simulations of combustions and explosions. In 2009 - 2014, he was a member of Governing board and a Chair of Research Committee in International Association for Hydrogen Safety and in 2014 was an editor of 'State of the art and research priorities in hydrogen safety' report by European Commission.
