Modeling of Unintended Hydrogen Releases from a Fuel Cell Tram

Hydrogen is a promising alternative energy carrier that has been increasingly used in industry, especially the transportation sector, to fuel vehicles through fuel cells. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles usually have high pressure on-board storage tanks which take up large spaces to provide comparable ranges as current fossil fuel vehicles because of the low volumetric energy density of hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen is also appropriate for large, heavy-duty vehicles that have more space than passenger vehicles.
