A method and apparatus are described for generating power utilizing reverse electrodialysis in which a concentrated ionic solution and a dilute ionic solution are passed through two pathways in a reverse electrodialysis unit including a membrane stack, whereby solute from the concentrated solution passes through the membrane to the dilute solution accompanied by the generation of an output electrical current and voltage. The concentrated and dilute ionic solutions are regenerated by thermal separation from the solutions exiting from the unit and are recycled back through the unit. |
