Project Summary
Large-scale hydrogen storage can help balance wind and solar electricity supply with demand from the grid. Salt caverns provide storage for the hydrogen, but solution mining brings brine to the surface, where it sits in evaporation ponds. Slow evaporation can limit how quickly ponds accept more brine. Waste heat from hydrogen electrolyzers could accelerate evaporation while providing part of the cooling.
This work evaluates how much additional evaporation a practical system can provide as heat availability, weather, pond temperature, and salinity change, and whether that benefit justifies its cost. It couples a depth-resolved pond model to a submerged HDPE heat exchanger, pressure-loss calculations,…
