Water electrolysis system and method for operating water electrolysis system

Abstract

The water electrolysis system is a water electrolysis system using an alkaline aqueous solution as an electrolytic solution, the water electrolysis system including a cell stack to which the electrolytic solution is supplied; a storage section in which the electrolytic solution is stored; an annular flow path connecting the storage section and the cell stack to each other; a pump section provided on the annular flow path; a scale removal section that is provided on the annular flow path and is capable of removing a scale included in the electrolytic solution; and a scale component removal section capable of removing scale components dissolved in the electrolytic solution at or below a saturation concentration.
