Simulation of hydrogen production using solar thermal water splitting.
- Parameters
- Technical Operating Parameters and Specifications > Design Output per Day > Valuefloat
Design output of hydrogen production plant per day in kg.
- Solar-to-Hydrogen Efficiency > STH (%) > Valuefloat
Solar-to-Hydrogen Efficiency of thermal water splitting process. Percentage of value between 0 and 1.
- Solar Input > Mean solar input (kWh/m2/day) > Valuefloat
Mean solar input in kWh/m2/day.
- Non-Depreciable Capital Costs > Additional Land Area (%) > Valuefloat
Additional land area required. Percentage or value > 0. Calculated as: (1 + Addtional Land Area) * solar collection area.
- Returns
- Non-Depreciable Capital Costs > Land required (acres) > Valuefloat
Total land requirement in acres.
Methods:
calculate_land_area(dcf)Calculation of required land area based on solar input, solar-to-hydrogen efficiency and addtional land are requirements.
