Abstract
A fuel leak detection system for hydrogen fuel system including a monitored component. The fuel leak detection system including a sensor and controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The sensor is positioned to monitor at least a portion of the monitored component. The sensor is configured (i) to sense a parameter corresponding to a hydrogen fuel leak of the monitored component and (ii) to generate an output. The controller is configured (i) to receive the output of the sensor, (ii) to determine, based on the output of the sensor, if a leak has occurred in the monitored component, and (iii) to generate an output indicating a fuel system leak when the controller determines that the leak has occurred in the monitored component. The monitored component may be a component of one of a fuel tank, a power generator, and a fuel delivery assembly.
