Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the current safety management system of hydrogen infrastructure in South Korea and to propose improvement measures by comparing it with international best practices. Method: A literature review, comparative analysis of safety regulations in advanced countries, and both quantitative(QRA) and qualitative(HAZOP, LOPA) risk assessments were conducted. In addition, technical characteristics of real-time monitoring systems were reviewed. Result: The Korean hydrogen safety management system has a limited scope of QRA and qualitative risk evaluations, insufficient implementation of real-time monitoring, and inconsistencies with global standards such as ISO 19880 and NFPA 2. Conclusion: This research provides foundational data for strengthening national policies and technical improvements aimed at safer hydrogen infrastructure. It is expected that the findings will support the establishment of a more comprehensive and internationally aligned safety management framework.
연구목적: 본 연구는 국내 수소 인프라 설비의 안전관리 시스템을 평가하고, 해외 선진국의 안전관리 체계와 비교하여 개선방안을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 문헌 조사, 선진국의 관련 법령·사례 비교, 정량적 위험성 평가(QRA) 및 정성적 평가(HAZOP, LOPA), 실시간 모니터링 시스템의 기술 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과: 국내 수소 안전관리 체계는 QRA 및 정성적 평가 적용범위의 한정성, 실시간 모니터링 시스템의 도입 미비, 국제 표준(KGS 코드 등)과의 불일치라는 문제점을 가진다. 결론: 본 연구는 향후 국내 수소 산업의 안전성 향상과 정책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 국제 기준에 부합하는 안전관리 체계 구축에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
