Challenge
Globally organizations are moving towards cleaner fuel such as Hydrogen as primary fuel and in this case considering Hydrogen's wide flammability range and very low ignition energy, risk assessment studies such as Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) and BRA play a pivotal role in analysing the associated risks. The company sought assistance in conducting QRA and BRA for the fuel cell data center to understand the risk profile of their design thereby understanding the impact of fuel cell on data center and its associated operations.
Inogen Solution
IA Partners Co., Ltd. in association with Associate Cholamandalam MS Risk Services Limited carried out QRA and BRA using software simulation tools & mathematical models to predict the damage distance associated with each scenario and analyze the risk profile associated with the hydrogen fuel cell, especially given its proximity to a ski lodge/visitor center. The study was carried out in compliance with company's established QRA procedure and Korean regulatory standards involving a deep dive into safety aspects of hydrogen tube trailers based on the consideration from NFPA 2.
