Abstract
Disclosed are a solar energy-salinity gradient energy synergistic power generation system and method by using concentrating beam splitting and waste heat recovery. A concentrating beam splitting photovoltaic power generation unit includes a light mirror, a liquid splitter, a bifacial solar cell, and a waste heat collecting tube; a waste heat recovery unit includes a multi-stage phase-change heat reservoir and a heat exchanger; a salinity gradient power generation unit includes first and second chambers, an ion-selective membrane, first and second electrodes; an electricity storage and control unit includes a battery pack and an inverter; and a water supply unit includes a seawater tank and a river water tank. The bifacial solar cell is used for concentrating beam splitting photovoltaic power generation, nanoparticle-containing seawater and nanoparticle-containing river water flow through the splitter for beam splitting and heating themselves, and the multi-stage phase-change heat reservoir collects heat of the splitter.
