Summary

Axisymmetric CFD simulations of the Manzanares solar chimney prototype, using RNG k-ε turbulence and a two-band discrete ordinates radiation model, test a way to match electricity output to set demand profiles. Adding secondary and tertiary roofs beneath the main collector gives the plant good control over its output for base-load generation.
