Résumé / Abstract
This report is dealing with the study to safety relevant issues for Fuel Cell in urban transport. It is a contribution to Subproject I FELICITAS project. First, INRETS has focused its contribution on the inventory of the legal regulations and standards concerning railway applications and possible implementation of fuel cell generators on rolling stock engines (hybrid locomotives, light trams~). The specific topic of railway safety applied to fuel cell onboard implementation is described based on the information collected through several special events, conference proceedings and EU projects, particularly regarding the use of hydrogen storage and other hydrogen fuels. Second, the objective of the INRETS contribution is to establish reliability requirements and safety issues concerning the implementation of fuel cell generators on light urban railway vehicles, the fuel cell technology proposed is a PEMFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell) supplied by hydrogen and air. The evaluation of mass and volume of hydrogen linked to the energy autonomy for specific railway mission profiles are key points regarding safety issues. Thanks to its knowledge on railway systems, INRETS propose a study and analysis on 2 railways applications: light tramway vehicle, and shunting locomotive for urban freight and switching mission., RAPPORT DE CONTRAT
