Abstract
Hydrogen storage system for passive discharge of hydrogen gas without employing heater, comprising a plurality of hydrogen storage tanks each containing at least one metal hydride (MH) storage material, a hydrogen gas flow circuit connected to the storage tanks and a control system including pressure sensors (P) and temperature sensors (T) arranged for measuring the pressure and temperature in each storage tank, the gas flow circuit comprising valves (V, V1, . . . Vn) coupling said plurality of storage tanks to an inlet, respectively an outlet of the hydrogen storage system, whereby the inlet and outlet may be common or may be separate. At least a first material storage tank comprises a first metal hydride (MH1) of a first composition and at least a second material storage tank comprises a second metal hydride (MH2) of a second composition.
