Cost analysis of solar chimney power plants Thomas P. Fluri; Johannes P. Pretorius; Cobus Van Dyk; Theodor W. von Backstrom; Detlev G. Kroger; Gideon P. A. G. van Zijl Compares earlier cost models for large-scale solar chimney power plants against a newly developed model, using a reference plant built to match previous studies, and costs out the collector, chimney and turbine system separately. Earlier models appear to have underestimated both initial investment and levelised electricity cost, while carbon credits substantially lower the electricity cost.

Summary
Compares earlier cost models for large-scale solar chimney power plants against a newly developed model, using a reference plant built to match previous studies, and costs out the collector, chimney and turbine system separately. Earlier models appear to have underestimated both initial investment and levelised electricity cost, while carbon credits substantially lower the electricity cost.
