Summary
Combines a solar chimney power plant with a cooling tower in one structure, where both modes use the same chimney and a two-way turbine; the plant runs as a cooling tower overnight and alternates between modes during the day based on weather forecasts, also yielding distilled water. Assessed for Aqaba, Jordan, it produces about 652 MW/year, against roughly 368 MW/year for a conventional plant.
