Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016118487A1] Solar-powered systems and methods of generating hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water are described. A solar-powered system for generating hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water includes an electrolysis unit, a first generator unit, and a solar-powered turbine unit. The electrolysis unit is powered by the first generator unit. The solar-powered turbine unit is configured to drive the first generator unit and to supply steam to the electrolysis unit. The solar-powered turbine unit includes a first turbine coupled to and configured to provide shaft work to the first generator unit, a steam generation unit coupled to the steam feed inlet of the electrolysis unit and configured to hold water; and a solar unit configured to generate and provide heat to the steam generation unit.
