What is a CSP-HTE integrated system?

A CSP-HTE integrated system provides benefits of supplying high-temperature heat from the CSP to the SOEC electrolysis process. Both CSP configurations of parabolic trough and power tower can supply heat and electricity; however, power tower CSP can provide higher temper-ature heat and more effective TES than a parabolic trough system.

Can concentrating solar thermal power be integrated with high temperature electrolysis (HTE)?

This study focuses on integrating concentrating solar thermal power (CSP) with high temperature electrolysis (HTE) using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC). The CSP-HTE integration approach provides the benefits of thermal energy storage for continuous operation, improved capacity, and reduced thermal cycling for improved SOEC life.

Can CSP provide heat and electricity to HTE H2 production processes?

CSP can provide heat and/or electricity to HTE H2 production processes although nuclear power has been considered as a main source to supply heat and electricity to the electrolysis process. CSP technologies use mirrors to focus solar energy and project it onto a solar re-ceiver.

Why do we need iterative solutions for heat and mass balances?

Iterative solutions for the heat and mass balances are required due to the recycle streams and heat recuperation network.
