A new economic feasibility approach for solar chimney power plant design Chiemeka Onyeka Okoye; Oguz Solyalı; Onur Taylan A two-stage method pairs a nonlinear programming model, which sizes a solar chimney power plant for minimum discounted cost while reliably meeting demand under uncertain radiation and temperature, with a net present value check. In a Potiskum, Nigeria case, an optimal plant with a 1128 m collector diameter and 715 m chimney proves profitable and outperforms approaches that ignore uncertainty.

Summary
A two-stage method pairs a nonlinear programming model, which sizes a solar chimney power plant for minimum discounted cost while reliably meeting demand under uncertain radiation and temperature, with a net present value check. In a Potiskum, Nigeria case, an optimal plant with a 1128 m collector diameter and 715 m chimney proves profitable and outperforms approaches that ignore uncertainty.
