Development of an experimental apparatus and a data analysis protocol for the test of hydrogen volume and flow meters in controlled environmental conditions

The decarbonization of the residential sector is fundamental for energy transition. In this context, it is promising the introduction of hydrogen in natural gas networks in specific hydrogen districts. Accordingly, hydrogen meters are needed for accounting the fuel consumptions. The topic of this wo...
