Claim 0:
1. A system for generating water comprising:
a solar thermal unit comprising a first composite assembly including a first hygroscopic composite to capture water vapor from a process gas flowing in a process flow path through the first composite assembly during a loading cycle;
the first composite assembly being configured to absorb thermal energy and release water vapor to a working fluid flowing in a regeneration flow path through the first composite assembly during an unloading cycle; and
a condenser for condensing water vapor to produce water from the working fluid flowing in the regeneration flow path after flowing through the first composite assembly;
a controller configured to:
receive an operational parameter of the water generation system;
determine a water content of the first hygroscopic composite based on the operational parameter; and
determine, based on the operational parameter, a loading operational setpoint, an unloading operational setpoint, or a combination thereof.
