4 FAQs about Split Solar Power Plant

Is electrochemical water splitting a viable solution for storing solar energy?

Nature Communications 7, Article number: 13237 (2016) Cite this article Hydrogen production via electrochemical water splitting is a promising approach for storing solar energy. For this technology to be economically competitive, it is critical to develop water splitting systems with high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiencies.

Is large-scale solar water splitting economically viable?

There are several promising approaches to large-scale solar water splitting, including photochemical, photoelectrochemical (PEC) and PV-electrolysis systems 8; none of these approaches are currently economically viable compared with today's technologies 3, 6, 11.

Can a solar power tower integrate with a thermochemical water splitting cycle?

An innovative integration of a solar power tower with a thermochemical water splitting cycle is presented. LiNaK carbonate salt is used for thermal energy storage. Comprehensive thermodynamic and economic analyses are conducted. A multi-objective optimization is performed using genetic algorithm.

Are solar-to-hydrogen water splitting systems economically competitive?

For this technology to be economically competitive, it is critical to develop water splitting systems with high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) efficiencies. Here we report a photovoltaic-electrolysis system with the highest STH efficiency for any water splitting technology to date, to the best of our knowledge.
