Artificial Intelligence-Driven Innovations in Hydrogen Safety

Abstract

This review explores recent advancements in hydrogen gas (H2) safety through the lens of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. As hydrogen gains prominence as a clean energy source, ensuring its safe handling becomes paramount. The paper critically evaluates the implementation of AI methodologies, including artificial neural networks (ANN), machine learning algorithms, computer vision (CV), and data fusion techniques, in enhancing hydrogen safety measures. By examining the integration of wireless sensor networks and AI for real-time monitoring and leveraging CV for interpreting visual indicators related to hydrogen leakage issues, this review highlights the transformative potential of AI in revolutionizing safety frameworks. Moreover, it addresses key challenges such as the scarcity of standardized datasets, the optimization of AI models for diverse environmental conditions, etc., while also identifying opportunities for further research and development. This review foresees faster response times, reduced false alarms, and overall improved safety for hydrogen-related applications. This paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners seeking to leverage state-of-the-art AI technologies for enhanced hydrogen safety systems.
