Hydrogen has been identified as a leading sustainable contender to replace fossil fuels for transportation or electricity generation, and hydrogen generated from renewable sources can be an energy carrier for a carbon-free economy. Several hydrogen production methods are under development or deployment with various technical readiness levels and technoeconomic potentials. 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. The CSP-HTE system analysis utilizes a Python-based system modeling program in connection with solar receiver thermal output derived from the NREL System Advisor Model (SAM) software. The system model facilitates component sizing, performance simulation, and evaluation of operation modes on an annual basis for various CSP-HTE configurations including CSP with thermal energy storage (TES). The SOEC operation conditions were simulated to assess component sizing and performance and to derive system capacity factors. |
