NOVELTY - A system (10) for solid state storage of hydrogen comprises several hydrogen storage containers (184, 186, 188, 198, 200, 206, 208, 216). Each hydrogen storage container has inner chamber and inlet for introducing hydrogen gas into inner chamber. The inner chamber has a solid hydrogen storage medium disposed. The system further includes an endplate manifold (12) having hydrogen receiving port, several hydrogen outlet ports (26), and a flow channel. The hydrogen flow channel is integrated into the endplate manifold.    USE - As a system for solid state storage of hydrogen (claimed), useful in vehicle or stationary hydrogen storage application.    ADVANTAGE - The system can store for greater amount of hydrogen per unit volume and greater amount of hydrogen per unit mass than prior art systems. The system has greater volumetric and mass storage efficiencies. The system can be efficiently utilized in transportation applications. The system has excellent performance characteristics including fast hydrogen filling and discharge, easy replacement of hydrogen storage medium, excellent heat management properties, and high durability. The system is less complicated, has lower component costs, and is more cost efficient to manufacture than prior art systems.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A system (10) for solid state storage of hydrogen comprises several hydrogen storage containers (184, 186, 188, 198, 200, 206, 208, 216). Each hydrogen storage container has inner chamber and inlet for introducing hydrogen gas into inner chamber. The inner chamber has a solid hydrogen storage medium disposed. The system further includes an endplate manifold (12) having hydrogen receiving port, several hydrogen outlet ports (26), and a flow channel. The hydrogen flow channel is integrated into the endplate manifold. Each hydrogen outlet port is in fluid communication with the inlet of one of the hydrogen storage containers. The system further comprises a removable plug member, is configured to prevent hydrogen flow through the inlet for introducing hydrogen storage medium into the inner chamber of the hydrogen storage container; an outer cylinder and a heat transfer fluid, where the hydrogen storage containers are disposed inside the outer cylinder, and where the outer cylinder defines a flow path for the heat transfer fluid; and a force distribution component, the force distribution component is configured to distribute the force produced by the expansion of the hydrogen storage medium such the force distribution component reduces localized forces in the hydrogen storage container.
