Towards predictive maintenance of hydrogen pressure vessels based on multi-sensor data by Christos Karapanagiotis, Jan Heimann, Eric Duffner, Amir Charmi, Marcus Schukar, Seyedreza Hashemi, Jens Prager

“…The COPV failed after approximately 60,000 load cycles, and the sensor network proved capable of detecting and localizing the damage even before the failure of the COPV. This multi-sensor approach offers significantly more channels of information and could therefore enable a transition from costly and time-consuming periodic inspections to more efficient and modern predictive maintenance strategies, including artificial intelligence (AI)-based evaluation. …”
